Memories right, its a way to keep someone alive in your heart and remember them long after they are gone for who they were and the amazing, fun and great memories that you have of them.
Riri, Kiri...whatever we knew her as on HW, as well as Claire, the girl that a lot of us knew on msn as well, I guess I find it hard to fathom that she is gone when it seems like it was just the other day she was insulting someone in the inn, laughing and telling stories.

I remember meeting her when I joined HW 2 years ago, her, Reyn, Ryvn and Raye all in the middle of some rather insane, inuendo laden arguement over some wierd topic. She was among the first to welcome me into HW and I had the pleasure of also getting to spend time with her on msn, chatting, plotting, being bad and other times just laughing as we ran amuck on HW. Good times and bad times, whether she needed to talk or I did, we always ended up laughing with hugs and looking forward to brighter things. Sharing tears, laughter, ups and downs...I don't claim to know her the best, but I knew her well, and she was an amazing woman with an amazing spirit to see as she overcame struggles and rejoiced in blessings.

I will miss her, and though I sit in shock now, and I know that it has not completely sunk in, I will always remember her music, her artistry, her roleplaying as an elephant girl with noobs and just her laughter. She leaves behind an amazing little boy and a man she loved so deeply...and here on HW, she leaves behind a family of all us random players, all of whom she has touched. I will miss her, and I will remember the good times and cherish the moments there was.

Riri, my prayers to your family, to your little boy, you are missed and loved.

Kiri, Daisy, Claire … You were among the first in this community I called friend. You were a real inspiration, a part of the conglomerate muse I found in this game. I, and others, will miss you dearly.

Mae govannen, Kiri Nectter, arwenamin, mellonamin.
(We are well met, Kiri Nectter, my Lady, my friend.)
Nae saian luume’ ar’cormamin lindua ele lle.
(It has been too long, and my heart sang to see thee.)
Ta nae saesa omentien lle, ar’ oio naa elealla alasse’.
(It was a pleasure meeting you, and ever was thy sight a joy.)

Lle ume quel, vanimle sila tiri, ar’ cormlle naa tanya belegohtar.
(You did well, your beauty shone bright, and your heart was that of a warrior.)
Ed’ i’ear ar’ elenea! … Mankoi lle uma tanya? Mankoi?
(By the seas and stars! … Why did you do that? Why?)
Amin n’rangwa edanea … amin harmuva onalle e’ cormamin.
(I do not understand these humans … but I shall treasure your gift.)

Diola lle, ar’ namárië. Aa’i’sul nora lanne’lle.
(Thank you, and farewell. May the wind fill your sails.)
Diola lle, ar’ namárië. Aa’ menealle nauva calen ar’malta.
(Thank you, and farewell. May your ways be green and golden.)
Diola lle, ar’ namárië. Cormamin niuve tenna’ ta elea lle au’.
(Thank you, and farewell. My heart shall weep until until it sees thee again.)

Elen sila lumen omentilmo. Tenna’ ento lye omenta, quel esta, quel kaima.
(A star shall shine on the hour of our reunion. Until next we meet, rest well, sleep well.)

I am certainly shocked at this! Kiri was the first player that motivated me to lvl my character to 100 as fast as possible, after having killed me in the dorm when i was just a newb to HW. She was the first and always will be the most familiar player to me because of that. I thank her, because she was the original one that initiated my drive to give HW a chance and without that, i wouldn't have come to know the great players that make up such a fine community.

Kiri contributed much...in and out of HW on a personal level. Her music was beautiful. Her legacy will carry on not only in our hearts and memories, but in her contribution of her creative music as well.

P.S.
Hopefully no one minds, but one day in the Inn we were all talking about music etc. and i happened to fortunately save a link of Kiri's music that she shared.

Enjoy her musical expression

I'm feeling stunned and completely gutted. I don't really know what to say or describe how I feel at the moment.

I've known Kiri for a long time through this game, and we became close friends through this game despite living thousands of kilometres apart.

The characters of Emichra and Kiri weren't that close, but the tie between Emichra and Ani was well knit. Claire always felt that Ani was one of the least understood (or comprehensible) characters in HW, yet Emichra knew and inspired her. In game we were very involved and keen to assist or inspire development within the game. Kiri's second reign in knighthood was the result of planning and strategy on both of our parts, an accomplishment we were very proud to achieve.

Outside of HW we shared a lot with one another, whether it was related to religion, family, music or everyday activities. The last time I spoke with her she was working on a song with Dante and asked if I could develop a melody (Sunset, link provided by Dragonstrafe). I only got about halfway through writing it.

I'm currently working on a composition for four percussion players and symphonic wind band; a nine section work based on the exploration of colour and human emotion. While I didn't complete that melody for Sunset while it was still in the works, I would like to dedicate one section of my composition to Kiri when it is completed; the fourth section titled "Affetuoso". I would also like to add the last line of Shae's post to the composition as well, if that is alright.

God bless you, Claire.

That is more than all right. Kiri would have loved to have seen this project completed, and I'm honored that I'll have a bit part in it.

The artist in me is biding her time. That poem came directly from my heart yesterday, and took only a few minutes to fine-tune. The images within my mind that form and re-form when I reread it, though ... I will be making a visual piece to accompany it as soon as the emotions let me, and though I currently haven't got a working scanner, as soon as it is completed, I will find a way to host it someplace to share with the rest of you.

As many of you will know, one of Kiri's many loves was Final Fantasy.

I was asked this evening to share this with you and I am sure she would have loved for you to have seen it.

Wow... How'd she go? As I recall Kiri was a younger player. Not like, teenager young, but certainly not old enough to be passing away. Perhaps that's not information anyone here was given privy too, or allowed to expose.

This news really sucks, and it's too bad she's gone. I didn't know her godly well, but we shared some decent RPs together from time to time.

At least I know why I haven't seen her on msn in awhile, now.

This is really, sad to me. I and Kiri weren´t the bestest friends... or well she disliked me even though I openly said the opposite. Well... this maybe can show how much I appriciated her and her comments, what she was doing as a valueable charachter in our community. I didn´t cry when my mother died, she was old and died from smoking ( A way of longterm suicide) I didn´t cry when my grandfather died, he was a even older man, another who only could blame his problems. neither any of my deceased relatives or friends. When I came on her, early before work, I cried. My prayers to you Cherry-pie, and to your son.

I am lazy.

Kiri.

It's funny that as each day comes,
we wander through like mindless drones,
oft too quick to pass others by,
living in our melancholy tones.

Ants marching and following instincts path,
sure as the sun an island are we,
one small speck lost among crashing waves,
solitary in our own personal sea.

As they seem things oft are not,
with each breath this truth be told,
let not the masses guide your hand,
let not your feet follow the fold.

Thank the one who breaks you free,
shakes you from the tireless race,
touching you from distance great,
though eye may not have seen their face.

So remember well the one who passed,
with inner fire that never waned,
in my life you shall live on,
imagination strong but heart so pained.

Rest In Peace, Kiri. Thank you for being a friend and an inspiration.

-Zach

I think I'm in shock.

Shit...I don't quite understand this. My heart goes out to ...everyone who knew and appreciated her, really. Her poor boys.

6/17? Lord...I didn't even know.

That's not fair at all.

See ya later, Kiri.

She was kinda like a big sister to me a couple years ago. We talked every single day for hours on end. She taught me a lot.

I still don't believe it.
