I don't post often here, but I'm most known as Aquarica, one of the leaders of Prevail.
All of us in Prevail were blindsided by this, as you can well imagine. We knew she was sick, but she never gave us reason to think she would pass away so soon. Talk when things were sensitive and serious was always of dealing with the issue for years to come. She hadn't contacted us in Prevail for a year, but there were RL things. A game prototype to complete. Sick parents to watch over. Life.
We knew her mostly as CiCi - the nickname of her main with us, Capricious Conundrum, though she had other amazing characters. We want to preserve these precious creations of hers, and our conversations. To that end, our biggest contribution to the community mourning for BitCook will be a markdown document (Obsidian .md file) compiling the characters and RP and important conversations we've had with BitCook, and we'd like to open it up to all the community to contribute. Once we've finished compiling all these amazing testaments to her life, we'll publish the finished copy to everyone.
We are doing two other things in BitCook's honor:
- We're creating a server tag - CiCi - that Prevail members can wear for the month of August. We invite any other community who has known BitCook to adopt the same, or something similar.
- We're planning on assembling on the steps of City Hall tomorrow for the vigil, 6pm Central. This is not a Prevail gathering. This is for anyone who knew her, and for those who mourn the concept of any player of Homecoming passing.
We're also looking to work with anyone else doing something for BitCook. Someone like her creates a community of all who love her - and that community transcends ideas like SGs, online vs RL, those who RP vs those who don't.
If BitCook spent time with you, you're a part of her legacy.
