James Mission

As many of you may already know, I was in San Francisco assisting Kai and my fellow Agonothetai friends in our capture, interrogation, and conversion of James Mutters, well-known TheO activist and Kai's best friend. I've been busy all week compiling videos of the event, since it's best to see what happened firsthand, through footage gathered the day of the event. Sometimes it's wonderful being a Mythopoeia. Anyway, I'll post each video here as I get them, and I'll also give some brief explanations of the video.



I created the beginning of this video because I knew people would want to know who each person in the video and the photos was, and I figured that knowing their ancient strengths would be helpful. I also used it as a time to make it known what color each person was for their text, since I knew I would be color-coding the subtitles.

I had to use subtitles because the wind was horrendous, and even I, who remembered most of what was said, couldn't understand half of what was being said. So I added subtitles--that's what's taking the videos so long.

We were so nervous before that, and I was grinning like a maniac because I was so nervous. I'm glad it didn't get that for the most part--I look like a complete fool XD

At the end, the papers that were blowing away were the pages from my Kodekso--I brought along my copy of la Kodekso de la Perdita Ringo in case we'd need it. I guess a clew isn't good enough to keep papers weighted down. An unfortunate side-affect of that was that in the blowing-away papers my scroll tube vanished. It had my scroll for James and a spare in case we needed it, and the tube itself was really awesome. But it vanished, and we had to use a backup scroll. Oh well. Work on #2 is underway, but it's 3 times as long as #1. So I'm uploading it in 3 segments roughly 7 minutes each. I expect #2 part 1 will be up at about noon tomorrow.
