  1. Sara Moore TF - All VEATs Saturday, October 12, 2024 Hurricane Milton be damned! The show must go on! Today I was safe back at home with electricity, but no internet. I connected via mobile hotspot which worked fairly well, only some intermittent rubberbanding issues. It's been a stressful and sometimes traumatic couple of weeks with these back-to-back hurricanes, but having little slices of joy to look forward to has really been calming to my brain. Thank you ♥ ~ The End ~
  2. Yes, it battered us for hours and hours. Very scary and widespread damage. It made landfall about 60 miles south of where I live as a category 3. I had evacuated about 100 miles inland and got pounded there too but it had weakened to a category 1 by that time. I was in a very secure large hotel structure so I felt safe. And I had my two kids with me, so that is what mattered. ♥
  3. It was crazy scary. In the 32 years I've lived in the Clearwater area, this is the first time any storm of this size was almost surely going to hit the Tampa Bay area. After days of talking with my family to carefully weigh all the choices, we decided to just head more inland about 100 miles to Orlando. Stayed away for 3 days and just made it back yesterday. It was quite the apocalyptic scene getting home. Skirting the trees in the roads and having to treat non-functional traffic lights as 4-way stop signs made a normally 2-hour trip more like a 4-hour trip. Fortunately zero damage to any of our properties. My sister's house is without electricity, as is my daughter's. I do have power so everyone keeps coming here to charge their devices or get ice, water, etc. LOL. I'm so happy to be the provider for everyone. However I don't have internet and may not for a while. I'm connected via mobile hotspot so am going to try to play today if the connection stays solid enough.
  4. Dr. Quaterfield TF - All VEATs Saturday, October 5, 2024 And so we kicked off our all-VEAT Shardtober! With 4 widows and 2 soldiers. Everything was easy and fun and relaxed, despite the tedium! 🤭 @Glacier Peak starts us off with a salutation I didn't bother with costume close-ups today, since there was no specific costume theme. Really fun seeing any Halloween attire though! 👻 That'll teach *you* to run to me in mid-air! ~ The End ~
  5. THANK YOU for this photo recap! I love seeing all the costumes and the fun I missed. I love reading all the backstories of the characters. So glad to be home! ♥
  6. I'm so glad you are okay. I was thinking of you during the whole catastrophe. I would have written more details except my limited wifi was running out. They gave us 120 free minutes of ship wifi to deal with stuff back home, but you can imagine those minutes went quickly! When I wrote my message I think I was down to TWO minutes left but I felt compelled to let you all know! LOL
  7. Hi Themers.... glad to be making my way back to my Happy Place. It wasn't the greatest being stuck at sea during the devastation happening at home. I had not bought the wifi package this cruise. It was an unfamiliar cruise line to me and crazy expensive so decided to do without. On Tuesday, they announced that we were being rerouted to Bahamas instead of Mexico, and then the danger of Helene became a reality. The next day we got the announcement that Helene would not let us sail up the Gulf on Friday as planned and that Port of Tampa could not accommodate our ship until Sunday. Yikes! Lots of scurrying to contact friends and family at home, to make disaster plans and get stuff secured. Very frightening. Most of us just wanted to be home at that point, but all we could do was make the best of it! Lots more fun was had by all, but mostly with lots more underlying worry and concern. Sunday at Tampa Port was ridiculous. They did not have the means to accommodate 4 ships "lost at sea" just waiting to come home. It took us hours longer than usual to disembark. I finally made it home by early evening, and it's taken me all these days to catch up on household things to finally feel settled enough to come back in game. Very grateful to live on high enough ground to avoid any of the flooding, but neighborhoods and businesses and beaches all around me are just destroyed. The surge of this storm was catastrophic, as I'm sure many of you have seen on reports. So just wanted to check in on a Thursday night and say I'm ba-a-a-ck! Really excited for Halloween event and collecting badges on new characters made this past year. Going to log in to game now and also catch up on forums!
  8. Stuck on Serenade of the Seas for 2 extra days waiting for Port of Tampa to reopen. Will be home Sunday. Have fun today!
  9. I'll be out of town next weekend without a laptop, so I'll miss the Posi runs. 😭 For this, you can put me as a definite with Forever Midnight - Night Widow
  10. Terra Volta Respec Trial #2 / Harlan - Oktoberfest costumes w/beer powersets! Saturday, September 21, 2024 We went with the 6 who signed up, and we had a blast! Quite literally.

  11. Thanks for reminding me about that!
  12. I'll bring Ocean Goddess - Beer/Regen Sentinel We might have the makings of a Role Diversity team. And I'll be ready to bring a second character for additional run, per Umber's suggestion.
  13. Karsis trial - Kinetics powersets Saturday, Sept 14, 2024 We had 7 players sign up, and were able to recruit @Purple Enchantress for full team @FrauleinMental led the shebang with brute, Bug Sapper Bourbon Neat, corruptor by @Jaxman100 Our founder, @TraumaTrain with scrapper, Squiggly Marks Controller, Glitched Out, by @TygerDarkstorm Super-Radiance, defender by @Burnt Umber Arctic Swirl, scrapper by @Midnyte @TrixieKixx brought stalker, QT Pie Lost internet for a second, I really need to get a UPS backup! I missed the transport but fortunately was able to log right back in and rejoin! Jumped right into battle after re-joining and did not realize my UI was off. Got some great action shots but nobody is labeled. You know who you are! "Get your filthy paws off me, you damned dirty Pumicite!" Doing his squiggle thing! Lots of swirlin' and squigglin' to take these rock dudes down ~ The End ~
  14. Awesome name! 😄
  15. That was my strategy too when they first came out with the multiple build option on live, but with today's fast leveling and unlimited name change options, I decided to just make them each their own path. In 2019 on Homecoming, my night widow was a given to recreate, and in the old days she did have a second fortunata build that I rarely played. I meant to do the same this time around, but then one day I was cleaning up toons I found on other servers to transfer them all to Indomitable, and I found a level 12 widow on Torchbearer that had teamed once with my daughter the very first week of Homecoming. I decided to bring here over here and make her a dedicated fortunata. That way I don't have to mess with name changing or story changing or build changing. And here we are. 😁 Really a great option though if someone does not want to level up two completely separate characters.
  16. I have VEATs of all 4 flavors and will decide each week who to bring. The top 3 are L50 with the fort lagging behind in her 30s right now but could be in range in time. Forever Midnight - Night Widow Lady Longfang - Crab Spider Nytetmayre - Bane Spider Mindgazer - Fortunata
  17. I searched across both accounts and found only ONE kin toon! A kin/energy brute who just so happens to already have the badge! but put me down as #6 and I'll update here. I may make a new one and get to L12. 🙂 Wed night edit: @FrauleinMental: Say hello to the all-new Arctic Swirl - KM/Ice Scrapper !
  18. Numina TF - All masterminds Saturday, Sept 7, 2024
  19. This is amazing! I am so happy to be part of this for these 4+ years. And since we kind of skipped over our customary anniversary event in July this year, I propose that this weekend be our Official Four Year Anniversary event! I personally have loved having this solid activity to look forward to and plan for, amongst the trials and tribulations of IRL stuff over the years. ♥
  20. Thanks so much for keeping The Theme Team alive! For Numina I'll bring Midnight Dreary - Necro/Dark MM I'll definitely be participating in this and have all four VEATs who want to come out and play. Sign me up, and I'll update each week which one I'm bringing.
  21. Renault SF - Plant powers and costumes Saturday, August 31, 2024
  22. I'd like to join as the 8th person. I'll bring a baby brute to round out the team. Or if there's a different AT you'd prefer, let me know!
  23. I'll join the Renault with someone.... Flora Volta comes to mind as a Plant/Elec Controller but I will update here when I can get in game and figure it out for sure. Friday edit: @FrauleinMental, instead, put me down for Garden Frost - Plant/Icy Dominator Thanks!
  24. Manticore TF - Action Movie Character costumes Saturday, Aug 24, 2024
  25. For today's badge run, I plan on attending but haven't had a chance to figure out a character to bring. I have a super busy morning till game time, but will update here in a few hours!
