An Emotional Crescendo · 7:39am Oct 18th, 2015
"I'M IN A GLASS CASE OF EMOTION, RARITY!"
"You've locked yourself in a phone booth, Crescendo. How much have you had to drink tonight?"
"Enough to lock myself in a structure that has no lock. Which, is to say, not nearly enough."
In all seriousness, what an emotional couple of weeks. I should probably explain.
Last Friday night was the opening of Hart of Fear's 'the Haunted Woods: Nightmare Rising,' the second haunted attraction built by our little group that emerged almost entirely from the mind of yours truly. This year's story is a direct sequel to last year's, a creative decision born of time constraints. I wrote the first treatment in February and braced myself for the changes to come. They always did, usually due to budget.
I cried when I had the chance to walk through and I saw that every word of my treatment had been brought to life.
The haunt is going swimmingly so far and my story is being greeted with positive reception from our guests.
I went to bed that night with a full heart and empty tear ducts.
And then Saturday happened.
It should be obvious to anyone who has read any of my words how important the CMC are to me. Their journey over the past five years has been nothing short of spectacular. To see the first leg of their story come to a close in such a wonderful fashion was an honor for me. My heart was overflowing again and my eyes again ran rivers.
And a week later BAAAAAAAAaAAAAAAABIES.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Not sure what I loved more; Shining Armor's horse noises or his bro-hoof with one of the only other males who has canonically had sex in Equestria.
I'm exhausted, so excuse me while I retire to dream of those halcyon days of yore when I was productive and not a slobbering sober-monger.
Oh yeah! That's what I meant to add in the email, ask if you saw yesterday's episode. And now... I wait for the little baby that will be! *sets up a lounge chair* Thank goodness I have the end of the world to watch in the mean time.
