GameMaster Alvy
[The Crossing Amphitheater, The Back Lawn]
A sprawling lawn provides seating for those individuals wishing to listen to the discussion in the amphitheater while not wanting to be limited to the restrictions of the seating area.
You also see a large stone archway leading to the seating area, a large main gate leading out of the amphitheater and a waste bin.
GameMaster Alvy just arrived.
Alvy says, "Everything is set up inside."
Alvy smiles.
Alvy wanders through a large stone archway leading to the seating area.
[The Crossing Amphitheater, The Seating Area]
Stone benches and wooden seats form a semi-circle around a stage at the north end of this theater. Designed so even a whisper can be heard by all, this area is used for everything from town meetings to staged performances.
You also see a gold-framed portrait displayed on an easel draped in black silk, a weathered fishing boat draped in black silk supported by a memorial pyre with a small note marked *PLEASE READ* on it, a wicker basket interwoven with black silk roses, a black silk box of gifts, a large stone archway and a speaker's list.
Drexella nods.
Drexella says, "Perfect."
Alvy smiles at Drexella.
look portrait
You see Darkskye D'leave, a Human Ranger. He has cropped platinum hair with tanned skin and crystal green eyes. He has a thick bushy mustache that droops heavily on his upper lip and a short rough beard. The lean built man is shown standing at the end of a pier dressed in some black and grey drindled leathers bearing the D'leave family crest and holding a fishing pole. Gazing out over the water, he has a look of peace on his face.
There appears to be something written on it.
read portrait
A gold-framed portrait reads:
"In our hearts forever, you will never be forgotten."
look boat
In preparation for its last sail a platform has been placed across this small craft, providing a spot for offerings to be placed on. Strategically placed fishing poles secure a drape of tailored, black silk that dresses up the old vessel. Along the weathered rail are several notches, as if Darkskye had been keeping count of the big ones he caught or those that got away. On the stern of the boat is a faded plaque that reads, "Moya."
On the fishing boat you see a small note.
Ladeda says, "The portrait is wonderful."
read note
A small note reads:
All items placed upon the boat in loving memory of Darkskye will vanish once the pyre is lit, so please use caution.

Sebestyen says, "Have not started yet.. giving another moment for everyone to get situated."

Iaasis says, "No no, he was showing you the sights."
Drexella nods to Ladeda.
Drexella says, "Me too."
Ladeda says, "I'll never forget that darn trip to Crossing and that maze to get out."
Ladeda flails her arms about.
Silqui says, "Twas the way of the lands, far enough back as to be almost beyond records."
Iaasis says, "He would always take off with me somewhere then have to leave and I'd be lost there for days."
Iaasis ponders maybe I should have been a ranger.
Sebestyen says, "Welcome everyone, if you want to take a another moment to get situated.. we will start here real quick."

Sebestyen says, "He was her best friend and she was in Leth, just sitting around and Darkskye arrived and began socializing. Well, she noticed something about him.. and had to point it out."
Gwenddolyn chuckles.
Sebestyen says, "She told me that she saw that he had no boots on.."

The Spirit and the Son."

"Yes, I am with the Lord of Love,
My New Life Has Begun."
Katralyn gazes down at the ground.

"If I could somehow be with you,
I'd help you understand
That all my faith and prayers were not in vain.
The Prince of Peace upon me smiles,
He tells me we are one."

"Now I am with the Lord of Love,
My New Life Has Begun."

Silqui smiles at Drexella, revealing the dimples in her cheeks.
Wyndz nods to Cyiarriah.
Drexella says, "We were having a ball with a romantic theme and I didn't know how to pull it all together with entertainment.

Only he could pull off prancing about like that and not once lose sight of his masculinity. This was well before he became Commander of ODS and made his mark on the Order house, which he was so very proud of."

He didn't believe in letting anything get him down and you could always count on him to have a joke or a song or something cheerful to say no matter how poorly he himself was feeling. He believed in focusing on the good stuff and his passion for life and enjoying each day is something I'll never forget."

Ladeda nods at Drexella, obviously agreeing with her views.
Iaasis giggles.
Katralyn smiles at Drexella.
Drexella says, "Many times he'd greet us with a song or a poem in chat just to get the day started well. He was the type to call you up to tell you a long and convoluted but hilarious story just to cheer you up on a down day. He genuinely cared about people and his jokes and making light of a situation is how he showed that even if it didn't always come across that way."
Wyndz chuckles.

Drexella says, "It's rather appropriate that we had this memorial today, being Earth Day. This was a special day for him. Every year he had some project that he would work on specifically for this day, whether it was planting something or making his yard more habitable for the wild birds to nest."
Silqui beams!
Drexella says, "His nickname was Doc Troutman and this is one of his stories that I'd like to finish up by sharing with you in his own words."

Drexella says, "And yes I cleaned it up a bit."
Drexella coughs.
Ladeda giggles.
Katralyn chortles softly at some secret joke.
Sebestyen chortles softly at some secret joke.
Drexella says, "That started 18 years ago when it was a great weekend in the summer ripe for camping, so my friend said call and get me outta here. I called his work and said I was Doctor Troutman and I had to speak to Frank right away. He plays the panic part well, and we got Friday, Saturday and Sunday to fish. We did that 5 times in 3 years. So, some guys that know the story call me Doc. When they closed Frank's biz his boss almost wet himself when we told him."
