New Year's Day 2010

EM Faine Morgan and EM Molly O'Malley burst into the Counselors Hall, out of breath from running and obviously frightened, the pair was relieved to find a crowd waiting for them.

EMs Faine and Molly were quick to explain they had been at the Origin Awards House preparing treats for the New Year celebration when they were ambushed and

their attackers had stolen all the goodies for the party!


Led by the EMs, and giving no thought to their personal safety, the group quickly headed to the shard Awards House to help recover the stolen goodies.





As the attackers were beaten back and goodies recovered, EM Faine and EM Molly scoured the area to make certain no monsters remained.

When all the stolen goodies had been recovered, the group returned to the newly redecorated Counselors Hall to start the New Year's celebration. With everyone still chilled from the cold radiated by the monsters, EM Faine tried to decide if she should warm her hands by the fire or by Frey's dragon, and Goblin Zuma HappyHeart was quick to provide foot warmers!

A little birdie who shall remain anonymous had whispered to EM Faine and EM Molly that December 31 had been my birthday. EM Faine teleported me to the top of the bar as the crowd sang Happy Birthday. Thank you all for the birthday wishes! (By the way, I'm still going to get even with you, Oriana ... Just remember, when you least expect it, EXPECT it!)

EM Faine Morgan then announced the 'officially official grand reopening of the EM Hall', while those in attendance congratulated Faine on her first year as an Event Moderator.

The newly remodeled hall now features benches, commemorative statues, and a poker table that Frey immediately found and staked claim to. We all sat back in comfortable surroundings and enjoyed the cookies furnished by Homebody (who bears a remarkable resemblance to Brat), all the while keeping an eye on the shard cookie monster, FalseProphet.


When EM Faine Morgan officially welcomed EM Molly O'Malley to Origin, Molly thanked everyone for already making Origin feel like home to her.




Then everyone formed the famous 'Origin Line' as EM Molly O'Malley handed out her first sashes.

The party ended with EM Faine teaching EM Molly the infamous Origin EM bar flash dance.
