memories....after all this time there are certainly a lot of them. I'll try to select a few that mean the most to me.
First impressions - I had no idea what Gor was. I had this friend, Ben. He was my buddy over at websplash, everyone knew him as "Tigger". Well, splash went down and people disbanded and Ben disapeared from the radar. Splash was down for quite some time you see, and when it did start working again Ben showed up one day as Tigger, and says hey, watch this...and He goes and changes his name to Ariakas, and brings this girl into the room we were in. We just blinked at how she pandered over him, shook our heads at the way he ordered her around. It was outragous!
He explained to me then that He'd wandered over to Gor at Webmaze and had begun a new life for Himself there. After roleplaying Gor, simple chat at splash was not what He wanted to do anymore, and He tried for a long time to get me to come over for a look see. I said nope nope nope. I wasn't havin none of that slave girl stuff. Nosiree. He finally says, just come watch. (Did I mention Ari can be persuasive?) So I followed Him to Tuchuk in Webmaze. I watched. I was scared shitless by this huge Torviechuk named RAGNAR. I just knew if I looked crosseyed at anyone I'd be toast. But I came back. I think I was about as quiet a mouse as anyone had ever seen. I was scared to even ask to make MTC my home. But Ari was always there, and He gave me the support and helped me with hints about what FW were supposed to do and not do. My name at the time was Lady Niccola.
Eventually I got my footing. Back then, I carried long sharp pins in my sleeves, dipped in some nasty stuff for my own defense. One evening, Ari was being Ari, joking around, being His usual self, and in the middle of it all, He "stepped" into an imaginary phone booth to take a call r/t. Even on the phone He was able to make cracks in camp, so after he was in there a while I got up and went over, and pulled the door shut, and locked Him in. He protested of course, and in essence, showed me His ass, so I untucked one of my nice long pins from my sleeve and poked Him with it. ~nods~ Yep, in the arse. I laughed hard that night.
Then this gal, Lady Karanis showed up. I wasn't so sure I liked her. She had this quick wit, She was smart, and She was able to keep things moving in a way I only wished I could. She started makin eyes at Ari, or was it Ari who made eyes at Her? I dunno anymore, by that time I think I'd developed a crush on a man named Vangar. Anyway, before long, Ari and Karanis were an item. (See - back then, Kar didn't have to be bribed to bathe. She did it all by herself!) Kar and I gradually grew close, we have known each other from nearly day one in MTC. Every bad thing, every good thing that came down the road, we have both been here for it.
Ohhh and I had to spar to gain membership! Egawds I was just scared to death. I sparred DarkRayven, and in my nervous condition I posted one whole post to her in pm, and then of course had to post it again out loud. I was mortified. Thankfully, no one else but DR knew about it. I'm so thankful I didn't have to spar Kitria. That woman rocks! She can kick ass and be very ladylike while doing it.
Then there are the raids. I don't remember who raided us one evening. (I am not fond of raids, I'd rather stay in my wagon and let the Men deal with it but thats not an option in MTC.) But in the middle of a raid, I had my hornbow out and was shooting at attackers. There was one between me and Ubar. So I shot at Him. He ducked. Ubar didn't. Ouch.
Needless to say I was frantic, I'd shot my Ubar! I litteraly sat here and cried my eyes out over how this played out. I got to sew Him up of course, my trade/clan was seamstress at the time and I used to sew Ubar up a lot. Problems set in when the wound became infected and I had to reopen the wound and once again sew Him up. I managed to get Him healed up, and in the process, I made sure that "woobie" was permently embroidered on His left shoulder.
Ubar later had this to say about the incident -

Later on, during a festival, I won the archery contest. I beat out a LOT of big strong men to win it. When I was given the trophy by my Ubar, I just looked at Him and said, "See, I toldja You shoulda ducked!"
The night that Redbeard and I were FC'd is one I'll never forget. Ubar had set up a new way that was more "Tuchuk", and Redbeard and I were the first to do it that way. Everyone had a grand time.
When I was still brand new to camp, I made some close friends with 3 other free women. Lili, DarkRayven, and Jacqueline. We went through many experiences together, but the one that I remember most was when Jacqueline decided after the first festival we had that she would rather submit and become a slave. She talked to me about how it just "felt so right" to serve, to be on her knees during festival. I was confused, and I was afraid she'd make a mistake she wouldn't be able to undo. But the more she spoke about it, the more I saw that she was determined to go through with it. So the 3 of us, DR, Lili, and I, witnessed Jacqueline's submission. she was renamed delilah and I've been so pleased to watch this beautiful woman grow and become who she is today.
Another memory is when I was a slave at the time, and had gone to the hot spring to wash, and on my way back, I paused long enough to shake myself off all over Ubar. He laughed at me and made me go to the dance pit, and roll in the sand. He told me after I was covered that I was to prepare a dance for Him, called Tuchuk Sugar Cookie. Well, I did. Then I waited until I had to dance it for Him. Can we say bundle of nerves? I was a wreck. Once I started the dance and began getting comments from the audience, I relaxed and began to enjoy it. The best part was my closing comment to Ubar when my dance was done..."Master Ubar, Your Tuchuk Sugar Cookie is ready to be eaten!" To my amazement, I was promoted to pagar slave that night right after my dance.
Another memory is when it rained and rained and rained. Ubar had several of His girls do some odds and ends that used the incessant rainfall to their advantage. He had me come up and get behind Him, on His porch steps, (we were soaked already) and wash His hair. I made a mohawk, gave Him a bozo do, gave Him wings. He took it all in stride and enjoyed my antics. When I rinsed His hair, He reached up and tugged me over His shoulder and sat me in His lap, removed my collar and freed me. I told Him then, as I had before, I would never leave Him.
Thats it for me...there are so many things I could talk about. But this has run on long enough. I can't wait for the rest of the memories.
