In honor of my first visit, and the first
visit of Tyma the Jester,
to the Maryland Renaissance Faire, the
local Wenches and Rogues
planned one of the largest Wenchings and
Rogueings known to Otterdom.
Tyma knew nothing about it.
I thought I was participating in a Wenching
of Tyma.
We circled up - but there was one too
many Wenches....

Danicia de Lontra was the mastermind, and the one who told me I would be helping Wench Tyma. I really should know better than to trust her in matters like this. She led Tyma and me to the center of the circle and stood us back to back. Then the fun began..... |
|
It started innocently enough
with Ralph presenting me with a rose and welcoming me to MDRF.

But proceedings got much more interesting when The Emerald Dragon said to Tyma "I'm sorry to do this to you, lad" - and did it anyway! |
|
This left Tyma looking rather
stunned...

...while Gareth welcomed me back. (Gareth was kind enough to escort me around on a day in March, 2000, when I was in the DC area on other business.) |
|
And then we saw that Tyma
had good reason to be worried...

What more needs be said? (Besides,
maybe, "EEEEEEKKK!")
Photo credit 1. Fortunately, things proceeded a bit more normally. Here, Marissa welcomes Tyma. |

Mark Falsone welcomes me. |
Loni welcomes Tyma. |
Anvil welcomes me. |
|
Now, of course, everyone
has been welcoming both of us, twelve Wenches and twelve Rogues - not all
of the greetings are pictured here.
Anvil took his cue from The Emerald Dragon and Gareth... |

...however, Amethyst Rose (also visiting, but not for the first time) made it all better. |
|
Each Rogue, of course, has
his own way of presenting a rose. I've never been kissed by one before,
but Russell took care of that.

Photo credit 2. Godling can't see me for all the roses... |
Photo credit 2. Ah, that's better. |

Tyma gets a wubbie! (Oh, the rug
burn!)
Photo credit 2. At last it's over! But we loved it. |
Photo credit 2. Surveying the damage. Gareth's mark is in the center of his forehead. |
If you think this was something, you should
see what they do for the Day of Wrong.
Or perhaps you'd like to see what they
look like just wandering around MDRF.
