HAPPY BIRTHDAY TANIS!

[soloist]

I'm not sure if you visit these days,
but just wanted to wish you
a Happy Birthday in c-
ase you do or are
able to stop b-
y and view
this. En-
joy!

[Nakor]

He's occupied with his folks for his birthday, but asked me to pass along his thanks for the wishes.

[soloist]

Thanks for mentioning, Nakor!
I wonder if he got two se-
ts of gifts. A set for
his birthday an-
d another f-
or Chris-
tma-
s.

[Nakor]

He usually does, yeah. His family is pretty good about that. I gave him two myself lol.

[soloist]

That's great, Nakor! Now I'm
wishing my birthday wa-
s close to Christmas
too (laughs). We-
re these the t-
wo gifts yo-
u got fo-
r Tan-
is?

[Diabolique]

Happy Birthday, Sir Tanis!

[Nakor]

Haha, not so much Soloist. Around here I'd have to be licenced to buy such things.

[soloist]

Laughs! Understandable!
Would you know w-
hether or not
he's still f-
ascina-
ted:

(with firearms... or at least emoticons featuring firearms?)


<--- it's even named after him

[Nakor]

Yeah, he does reenactments fairly regularly. Has to go down into the states to do them though. A mix of attempting to somewhat accurately reenact past battles, and other cases where they just kind of have fun with it.

[soloist]

It sounds like fun, especially the non-reenactment
battles since they don't have to follow a scrip-
t. Have you ever seen one of his reenact-
ments, Nakor? Something I've wanted
to try was a Laser Tag event when
I was young, though that's evol-
ved into paintball events an-
d that's something I'd like
to try one day. But sin-
ce my ankle is still h-
ealing from a bad
sprain, it's goin-
g to be a lon-
g time bef-
ore I'm a-
ble to:

[Nakor]

No, I haven't, though he's shown me video clips sometimes. It would be really expensive for me to go on account of travel and lodging, and a non-reenactor being there would probably just be in the way in any case. They do go full uniform/camo, try to move under cover, all that stuff.

I've played laser tag a few times before, but that's the extent of it. I never had too much interest in it or paintball, never really been my thing I guess, though I do know a couple people really into paintball.

[soloist]

Oh, yeah, I forgot that lodging is one of the issues
of such arrangements since it's not like you ge-
t there, perform and go home. I forget how
much goes into those re-enactments not
to mention rehearsals. I've always wa-
nted to try laser tag but there was
no local places for me at the ti-
me that I knew of, though n-
ow, they're easier to find.
The same with paintba-
ll, but work drains m-
e physically, and y-
ou need to be fi-
t to play such
games (an-
d will n-
eed):

(ample time to recover... laughs)!
