Fantastic. Thanks for the wonderful play-by-play. It is a joy to hear about your escapades, delivered by NeverSilent's ornate and gripping narration. It makes super fricking jealous that I did not attend. Perhaps we may have another of these in our lifetime, but for now, this is it! The RMN union many of us have fantasized, but rarely believed would actually happen. I guess it really is worth it to follow one's spontaneously ideated, star-wished-upon dreams.

Crystal Ghosts: Shadows of the Past is gonna win literally all the Misaos. You heard it here first.

I'm glad you're enjoying it, Cashmere! And who knows, maybe we'll see another RMN Meet on a different continent in the future. At least, I hope more people are going to try to set up something like this.

Shinan staring intently at an owl

And in the end, Shinan did actually win that staring contest.
Holy shiiiiit this is so cool ahahaha

*puts uk in my working holiday list* >.>
He's just Finnish. They are red all the time from all the alcohol.

Sorry for the delay, everyone.




- The end is getting nearer. Shinan finally manages to unplug his electricity adapter, which had been stuck in the socket this whole time, by employing the time-honoured method of brute violence. We check out of the hotel and once more meet up at Yellow Magic's apartment.
- While we briefly discuss what to do this morning, Yellow Magic and Shinan are magically entranced by terrible Japanese wrestling on TV as NeverSilent watches in disbelief. Since Shinan has to catch his flight in time and we don't want to risk him missing it by taking too long a trip, we decide to spend some time doing something we haven't done yet at all this whole time: Play some videogames!
- NeverSilent loses every single round of Tekken Tag Tournament 2 against Shinan's amazing random-button-mashing strategy, while Yellow Magic stun-locks his opponents from here to eternity. Then we play Persona 5 Arena, where Shinan slices and dices everyone by throwing truckloads of fans at people, and NeverSilent for once manages to axe Yellow Magic a question. We learn that Shinan doesn't actually like fighting games that much, while Yellow Magic can get very competitive about these things.

- As we consume our lunch (which decidedly does not consist of ice cream), Japanese wrestling resumes. NeverSilent is still not convinced. Development of Crystal Ghosts goes a little slower than anticipated.
- Time to say goodbye. Yellow Magic and NeverSilent accompany Shinan to the underground while talking about Let's Plays, RMN, and whether Kloe really has pink hair. It turns out that NeverSilent is a filthy thief who forgot to give Shinan his adapter back after borrowing it for a moment. Oops.
- We all take the underground together, until Shinan's path takes him further to Heathrow Airport. A heartbreaking farewell marks the beginning of the end of RMN Meet 2016. Shinan has left the party.
- The two remaining party members explore a little more of London. We cross Waterloo Bridge, visit the centre of the city, Yellow Magic's old university, and Trafalgar Square, where we are included in the demographic that may cross the traffic lights. Yellow Magic is astonished by the absence of the Blue Cock (not an innuendo) and is almost driven insane by a street musician.
- In the evening, we fail at the self-service paypoint at a supermarket before heading to the incredibly crowded Coach Station. The party now completely disbands, and we all return to our ordinary lives.
- RMN Meet 2016 is over. It was a great experience, and I would do it again any time. No idea if the others think the same way or if they were just glad to finally get rid of me... but I don't care. Peace!

I sometimes dye it pink but it isn't naturally pink...

That was Tekken Tag Tournament 2!!

What? The acrobatic feats of Will Osprey vs King Ricochet did not convince you? Sir you have no soul.

I definitely enjoyed the Meet, but saying so out loud would have broken character. In fact this very paragraph is breaking character WELP

Wow. This is absolutely legendary. I've gotta thank you again, NeverSilent, for narrating the group's journey to us, and for doing so in the minute details of interest. That final Shinan pic sent me rolling in a barrel down a steep hill. Gold.

If anyone ever visits New Zealand and feels game, just call me up and we can do this. I'll do similarly if I visit some foreign country. It seems like it was so life affirming being able to meet your friends in person finally. (Cash's hearts swoons at the possibility.)

I'm glad you all enjoyed reading this writeup of our antics. Of course, I deliberately chose a slightly ironic tone of narration, and not everthing we did was as silly as I made it sound. Still, as a whole it was a very funny and very enjoyable experience.

Oops. I don't know what video games are. Fixed.

Don't be depressed! I'm sure this won' be the last RMN Meet in history. Some day, we're going to have a meetup somewhere in France, and if necessary I'll start a crowdfunding campaign to get you over there.

Thanks! I promise I'll keep this in mind! (Provided I ever happen to end up on the other side of the globe...)
