Peeeeeeeeeeeeg, it will come back to you…
People of a certain age remember the music group Steely Dan – those of us at the upper range of that certain age also remember a cute little ditty called “Peg” (they also had songs called “Josie” and “Babylon Sister” – though I don’t know if Rikki from “Rikki don’t lose that Number” was a girl or not, but my guess would be yes). So why all this? Because I think of the song “Peg” when I see my friend Pegasiswolf.
Peg’s an interesting person – first off, she’s almost as old as I am, which makes her a rare commodity in a game populated by high schoolers and college kids (the former captain of Suzysunshine’s crew is the same age as my daughter). She also is a favorite subject of Rikko (see the Girlz of Emerald link over there on the right). And perhaps best of all, she sponsors the yearly Xmas in July event — a 24 hour Grand Frig pilly where she gives away trinkets, presents, ships, and gives red and white candy striped outfits to anyone who pillys with her. Unfortunately it was a week ago, so if you missed it, you’ll have to wait until next year.
I don’t exactly remember how our friendship progressed – I mean, I know her because of the game, but with facebook involved, I don’t know which happened first. Oddly enough, I think I friended her on facebook before I heartied her on Puzzle Pirates. Probably through some posts by Tonigirl – and probably involving Rikko. Either way, we’ve become friends in a way that never existed before the internet showed up, and that’s fine with me. Thanks to her, I finally got a promise from Rikko to do a picture of Lillythanne (and also was invited to be his hearty) – and after she invited other people to do artwork of her, I created one of my photoshop jobs for her.
I thought it was appropriate for the woman who runs Xmas in July.
She also allowed me to participate in the memorial for her brother:

And I also modified one of my pictures to add to that as well…
I have no desire to ever leave Meijinn’s crew – she moved to Sage at my invitation (she’d had an alt on before, but not her main), I manage her tailor stall, I’m a senior officer in her crew, and I’m the queen of her flag. Still, I am seriously thinking of moving Suzy or Al to her crew – if she has a fleet officer space open…
