Wow...I think its been officially 2 years now...?
Weeelll, 2 years ago prior to joining the guild, I was in a small guild made with some RL friends who got me into GW (thanks to my bestest buddy Garin and his partner in crime, Gus! mrgreen ) called The Forgotten Wraiths of Agony (I know...despite the title, the name itself was unforgetable).
I was really excited to be in a guild after floundering helplessly like a typical noob mad , plus the cape was awesome! The guild was pretty much lethargic...it was just the three of us...sitting around a campfire in the Frozen Isle guild hall. I was perfectly happy. I was playing in a virtual fantasy world with 2 of my best boyfriends (not that kind of "boyfriend", so shut up Flashy), everything was great.
That is...until the both of them started drooling over World of Warcraft. evil
Indeed, I lost both of my guild buddies to that blasted waste of money. They both started to log on less and less....until it was just me sitting in the guild hall. The only two people on my friendslist had abandoned me ( online anyway). Things were looking grim....
...Until I bumped into a charismatic elementalist named Master Shadow Sora. Yes, Sora was my Tyrian knight in shining armor. He dragged me along on numerous adventures while making random cracks at jokes. I always hung out with him (or, rather, ran around like lunatics in Lions Arch pretending that the merchant was somehow out to get us), and one day, as Syrenne may remember me telling her....invented the kiss-emote.
One day, Sora gets this invite from (I think?) Yummie Grapes to a guild party *coughstripclubcough*. He got me to come along.
And lord knows what I got myself into.
There I was, amongst a raving crowd of drunken idiots running and dancing around naked. The situation, when looked at closely, could compare to a battle: I was surrounded on all sides, in unfamiliar territory, without weapons...or a sober medic. While I was sizing up my options for the best course of action, Sora introduces me to Fyrae Shadowbane (Syrenne), who politely greets me and hands me a drink. I then meet the infamous Flashy, who (like with all the women he meets) flirted with me shamelessly for the rest of the time.
A few days (and a terrible hangover) later, Sora had joined the CoA (out of lack of sobriety I suspect). He offered me to join, but I refused. I wanted to maintain what little left we had of TFWOA. But Sora, bless him, didn't take rejection well, and was persistent. I gave in and left my old guild in the dust, and it was the best decision I had ever made in GW.
Syrenne welcomed me in like a mother......well....actually more like Angelina Jolie (a collector of orphans), and Flashy....uh...I guess welcomed me like a raving pip ("MY HAREM IS INCREASING AT SUCH AN 'EXCITABLE' RATE!", so to speak.)
Aside from Flashy's perculiar behavioral habits, I had found a family, as well as many additions to my friendlist! biggrin
