Yesterday was a big day four our household! There were awards! So many, many awards! (I should have suspected something, what with Zig giving me so much shit about my lack of an SCA Surname.) I'm not sure who put me up for the Cygnus I got, or what, exactly, they believe I did... (I have no particular recollection of any outstanding behavior, but I'm not giving the scroll back.) I was completely blindsided by BOTH trips that I had to make to the front of the hall, and hope that I didn't look like a jackass. Apparently, I know my protocall well enough, in theory, to beat Zig at pop quizzes on the appropriate order of bowing at the front of the hall. Execution is another thing entirely. I can execute a passable curtsey. I know in what order I'm supposed to cursey to the royalty. But if you put me in the front of the hall with no notice at all, I will not perform well. I will probably execute something that looks like I'm ducking a nose-punch and then scurry as quickly as possible to the place where I think I'm supposed to be, at which point I will pray that people will forget I'm up there and let everyone else do their thing. *facepalm* I'm glad Shava and Kit were there the first time, and I'm really glad Zig went with me the second time, otherwise I likely would have gone the other way.
I'm very happy that Ailianne did my pretty dragon scroll. Hopefully I will have time to scan it later this afternoon so that you all can see it. (I should see her this afternoon, so I want to get her permission first.) She does very beautiful illumination, so I was pleased indeed that she ALSO got a Cygnus. AND she became someone's (who's name I can never seem to recall) Protege. Yay, Ailianne!
Stephen won the Boar's Head Champion's Tourney. Yay, Stephen-Smashy-Guy!
And Abbey got her Balefire for "Making Gunther NOT-Naked." A worthy cause indeed. I'm glad Gunther pointed it out to the hall in general, otherwise I'm not sure that they would have understood... Abby is responsible for MANY of the tabards that our household wears while fighting, and MANY of the clothes that some of our boys *other* than Gunther wear to make them "Not-Naked." Even though they are relatively simple garments, Abby has put lots of effort into keeping our household appropriately clad. Yay, Abbey!
And Siegfried got to speak for Astrid in court as the Chiv rep during her elevation. He was funny, as usual, and delivered his lines with the usual attention to theater and touching descriptions of the features of Astrid that we all find so loveable.
This afternoon, we're going to the Kegslayer's house to bake Christmas cookies. I will take Evan's measurements so that I can make him a household tabbard. It's been pointed out that his current fighting tunic is RED and not the expected black with gold ragguli... Everyone knows that Ensign-Red-Shirt never survives, and since we kinda like Evan, an appropriate tabbard is in order.
