I never imagined that I would find family from fishing. Truth is I found a whole family, pretty much one at a time, while fishing. First was my little brother Chanzeonz. He took me under his wing my first week with LGH and was a HUGE help in getting me denewbed lol.
Next came a chance meeting with Enchante at Thor's place, and if people enjoy this series I will go into that in more detail in a later article, it was during this chaotically fun night that Enchante and I became sisters, and Aki Chi joined the family as well.
However, the focus of this article is my brother SmokyTops.
I was still relatively new, and skittish having heard the horror stories about rando creepy guys and it was a dark, and stormy night. From out of nowhere a voice reached across the void (ok he DM'ed me). Slowly I turned and seriously guys, it was like a frame from a slasher camping film...(I was laughing so hard as I messaged Aki). There, at the beginning of the dock were three shadowy figures, blocking my exit (yes I know TP away is a thing, work with me people!).
Smoky asked me a question about LGH (and being I was still so new to it I did answer best I was able but referred him to the group chat for more help). A few days later I realized that I might have come across as dismissive or unhelpful so I messaged him to make sure he got what he needed and that was that.
Until...a chance meeting at one of the Zamargad buoys, it was late and we ended up chatting. He made a comment about having "sticky fingers".... Yeah, I didn't let that pass and trolled him pretty hard about it. This was the defining moment in our friendship and after a few more such run ins at various buoys our relationship firmly cemented into big brother and little sister and I just love him to bits...teeny tiny bits mailed all over virtual somedays, but such is the joy of having sibs.
If you enjoy this series, let me know!
*special shout out to Stacy and Al Steiner who were lucky enough to be in the photo as well. Awesome people!
