Moonamaija: welcome! You've probably already noticed that we have threads for mythology, folklore, magic and the like. Looking forward to interesting conversations!

Yuuago: /HUG!! It's good to be here with yuu, too :)

Róisín: Ohh yes I noticed and lurked til like 5 am last night, oops :D

Mélusine: Ahh yes re-enactment was the closest term I could come up with for it, but the thing I do is kind of more about fighting (with padded weapons) than roleplaying. A short video if you are interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HC-nruq6dGA Also /eats ALL the cookies, nom and thank you!

Moonamaija: was your fighting SCA or similar? I was a live-steel fighter myself, though I've done a little SCA. More New Varangian Guard, Viking Society and such. It was fun!

Róisín: Yeah, I think SCA is pretty similar. The term we use is boffering, and the weapons are boffers, because we never use real weapons - even the shields are padded. It's the toned down safety first -version :D I think the standards for the padding are stricter in Finland than rest of Europe. But idk, I think it's awesome to be able to fight full contact without breaking people :D I've always thought Viking Society people look so cool!

Ah, yes. I'm familiar with boffer fighting, though I don't do it myself. There are some local groups that do.

It only took me so much time because Crowley isn't his name in the French translation ;) *Loves Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett*

This is more of a re-introduction since I was here and then life happened for a while.

But I'm Teagan, I'm living in Utah and hope to stay in one spot for a while. I like languages and mythology, writing, Dubstep, and roleplaying. My ssssona is a Finnish scout named Ilmari Koskinen and he's pictured in my avatar. Unfortunately I don't remember right now who was the person who drew him for me, but I'm still very grateful. I'd like to get back into writing in general, but have several things to work out irl for now.
