(( 'Tis uncertain I could survive such a journey as 'twould require even if I did acquire tickets, so perhaps 'tis well... yet I know not if I shall ever again have the chance. :/ ))

Aye, a few.

Hundred.

:)

(Also as an astrologian, 'twas an exhilarating experience to not only examine such a noteworthy fixture of the skies more closely, but to truly *touch* the heavens...)

...I am quite fond of the moon for myriad reasons. :)

Forsooth, ne'er hath I witnessed mockery upon such occasions; ever have I seen fisherfolk rejoice in one another's successes, and lend encouragement and support in the moments of frustration. 'Tis a particularly pleasant faction of the community. :)

Aye, on mine main account it took but 4 windows to catch egg (salad was in truth the "Final Fish"), and although I hath been told 'twas excellent fortune, the lack of progress over time seemed.. excessive.

Yet fishing camaraderie needeth no tome, and was present nonetheless, so 'twas not wasted. :)

Oh deeear.

Myself, I primarily sought the "Wavewalker" title, thus was largely after egg/salad for mere amusement and fishing camaraderie - and had not a single bite on either by the time I had *completed* the EW roster. I thought it curious...

Then received a highly unpleasant epiphany. -_-

'Tis BRILLIANT.

...Though one important point unmentioned... also ensure thou hast purchased the correct tome to catch legendary fish in the region.

...

Ask not why I shouldst mention it.

(( In all seriousness, between mine deteriorating health and the state of the realm, I've little happiness or contentment for the past year. Yet each indication that I hath at the least made someone else smile with the shenanigans is like unto an oasis amidst this desert of sorrows. <3 ))

((Also didst thou knowest Haurchefant was the first elezen I cosplayed? :)))))))))

Animals, children... the pixies also. They knoweth not politicking or manipulation; they knoweth that which they enjoy, and that which they enjoyeth not, and respond with their honest emotions rather than questioning motives or presenting a facade of stoicism.

Would that all couldst be so earnest.

I know not how much longer I shalt be favored with her presence; thus I seek to ensure she knoweth well how I treasure it. :)

Ne'er do I fail to recognize 'tis a blessing that I may look upon her perfection, kiss her tiny ears, and in return receive kisses from her tiny adorable tongue. :)

Clover may be her most favored treat above all treats, and she is mine eldest - the coming spring shalt be her twelfth. 'Tis an advanced age for her kind, thus I treat her as oft as is possible, as much as is healthy. :)

Historically the alpine chair + oasis stool + walnut cartonnier combo hath served well for that purpose... the loporrits hath installed a restroom in mine basement using this method.

(Though it hath... unusual properties. If one shouldst sit upon it and jump... 🤫)
