a farewell for Laughing Otter

[LOVWYRM]

dear Istarians,

Velveeta told us in her thread, that our friend Laughing Otter passed away.

I feel that all who knew him, his friends , guildies our colleagues
might want to join a little funeral service I shall organize.
So this is an invitation.

As far as I can see, there is no plot on Memorial Island designated for him.
As I can not afford and do not have the documents necessary for that,
I gladly provide a small, peaceful place on my plot in Mia`s Edge
for a dignified tomb.
I already planned it.

So what do you all think:

We meet on Sunday
22th of September

time: 10pm Berlin time
(pls someone help me with the time zones and post it here- Flame and me got confused trying- sorry

in Genevia,
port to Memorial Island
have a short meditation there
and then go to my plot and build up the grave together.

Velveeta will give pics and info to the widow and her daughter.
Vel thinks it might be some kind of comfort.

So pls Istarians join,
concerning me and Flame- we would be happy to know that there will be something like that when we are gone.

And for those who do not know:
I hold this plot since the beginnings- and will never give it away- so the grave will be there until.. well:-)

This invitation is for people from all shards.
And even if you did not know him- share an hour with us to think of him.
Its the Istarian way.

And pls someone announce it in discord too. Thank you very much.


edit: Any other ideas are most welcome- pls consider this as a suggestion!

The time would be for those in the USA, 1PM PST, I believe and 3 hours later on the east coast?

[velveeta]

yes. 10pm in berlin is 4pm in the east coast, therefore 1pm on the west. lov, what shard are you on, again?

ps - providing i can, i promise that you and flame will have memorials on the palace grounds. in thumb's garden, itself a memorial of times and friends long gone (but hopefully not dead.....)

[velveeta]

okay, i was wrong, apparently.
there is a 6 hour difference between berlin and the east coast.
10pm berlin is 4pm east coast is 1pm west coast.
sorry for the confusion......

dear Istarians,

this is a reminder

as there are no other suggestions
we shall have the farewell ceremony for Laughing Otter
tomorrow,

September 22
10 pm Berlin time.
Pls check that with your time zone

we meet in
Genevia
and have a gathering on Memorial Island.
I shall lead you to a good place.

We shall have a chat channel
"farewell Laughing Otter"

I will speak some words, then anyone who wants might give a speech or just say some words too.
Or remain silent
Whatever seems appropriate for you- what fits for you.

After that funeral service all who want go to Mia`s Edge (friends from other shards make sure you are attuned there)
and build up the grave I planned. So its not wrong if you are prepared to craft a bit.
Its not much- but more than only a grave.
Those who can t help are most welcome just to join.
Everyone is invited!
Please spread the informations

And allow me a word in a personal matter:
PLEASE craft and build up ONLY the grave and its decoration.
Lots on my plot IS UNBUILD BY INTENTION
Thank you

[velveeta]

lov, will you or someone be available to take us on an attunement tour? i am pretty sure whoever i have on chaos isn't attuned....
