User blog:MDGeistMD02/A Special Anniversary

Just over three years ago, I stumbled across the Dishonored wiki. My original reason for visiting was to get some background info for the Dishonored universe.

Being new to wikis at the time, however, I really didn't know what I was doing (which is quite evident if you check my early history here). On the third day, I noticed an icon on the Chat Room.

The icon was that of Corvo's face lifting his mask, and belonged to another user here named User:PikovajaDama from Germany. By happenstance, she was new to this wiki as well. We began chatting and had a pleasant time.

This soon became a mainstay, however, and I became a regular visitor to the wiki and the chat room. I met some great people here and formed some good friendships, but would often chat with Piko the most.

Over time we would talk about many things, starting with how the game differed in certain languages and then soon about how we ourselves differed. We laughed and shared many stories, and even mused how cool it would be to see each other's home cities.

Then, one day about a year later, something happened. An idea was formed, and opportunity presented itself. Piko announced she had a chance to come here, to visit. I was shocked at first, and a little trepid I admit, but we talked about it and organized plans.

Skip to one year after that and the improbable happened: Piko and I were able to actually meet face-to-face. It was a great surprise, and an awesome experience. She was able to visit and I showed her the sights of the Midwest, through such iconic cities such as Saint Louis and then later onto Chicago.

That awesome event happened one year ago today. This is the first of a very special anniversary for my friend and me.
