[QUOTE="gillette, post: 4106355, member: 38083"] [b]So Long Alyysssa, Till We Meet Again[/b] I cannot say exactly when I first met Alyysssa (or Ka'yn, if you prefer), but I can tell you that it was years ago, most likely in the summer of 1999 when I first discovered freeform roleplaying online. What I can tell you is that she was vibrant, glowing with life and good cheer and liked by everyone. She was kind hearted and friendly, always trying to get people involved with each other. Years later, she went to great lengths to find my number and call me on the phone because she had heard through the grapevine that I might be in trouble. Bless her heart, she didn't even know my real first name, but if there was a chance I might have needed help, she was going to offer it. We spoke for perhaps two hours, long distance, long after she was sure I really was okay. Even then it was hard for me to reconcile the differences and similarities between the 'real' person and the being I knew her as online: A beautiful, everyoung, eversmiling, flaxen-haired druidess in the middle of a perfect green glade that will never turn brown. There is birdsong in the air and sunlight in the canopy. Can you see her there, with her arms outstretched and a smile on her lips? In my heart she will always be Aly to me and she will never die.
