A Tale of Paitence and Love

Hello! For those that don’t know the real me, or visited my CoHFaces, my name is Marcus. I’m 22 years old and live in Plano, Texas. Have a degree in pastry arts and spend my nights working as a bread baker from 2-10 am.

I got this game after much pestering from my friend Travis, who used to play this game as @General Winter, and only after moving from PA to TX about 4 years ago I decided to give it a go since I was pretty bored. So I went with Triumph since he told me that is where his main toon was, and thus my journey here began. The game itself is awesome and merited keeping it a few months, but the real draw here was all the awesome people I met on Triumph that really made me want to stick around and play more.

So a year goes by and I’m still enjoying the game, and I happen to bump into this really awesome person in Atlas named Kay Parfait, she just started playing about 2 months ago and we quickly got to talking more and more and became friends. Her name is Kristina and lives in Nebraska going to school for photography.

Fast forward another year and this shy quiet guy decides to pursue this young lady further and one day in early November asks about going steady, and to his surprise she felt the same way he did. And it was great, being able to talk almost everyday, getting to learn so much about each other. We talked about visiting each other that March after my birthday, going to Europe together with her Mom’s class, visiting in July when I had a vacation from work. Unfortunately for us all these plans kept being smashed before us for a variety of reasons. Mostly due to her parents going through a much needed divorce so they could get away from her Dad. Then Europe Trip got canceled cause not enough were going. Then after that they were moving into their new place and getting all settled in. 10 long months roll by and we’re absolutely losing it not being able to see one another.

So finally after getting all moved in, scored away with her Mom about visiting, and MUCH excruciating waiting last Thursday, September 24th I drove 10 hours up to Nebraska to see her. Let me tell you, it was everything we ever imagined. An instant connection that I just felt the moment I saw her face to face, to the moment I held her in my arms, to the moment our lips first touched. The next 5 days we hardly let go of each other spending nearly 80% of the time on her bed just snuggling one another. Pure magic is the only way I can describe it, and I knew this was the girl I wanted to be with the rest of my life. I love her so much. =D

So why tell you this tale, other than I want to freaking shout on top of the highest mountains how much I love this girl and want the world to know. Because it’s the awesome people of Triumph that made this possible in the first place. If you guys hadn’t been so helpful and funny and had awesome parties/events and so many great vet players I would never had stuck with this game, let alone this server which led me to her. So I want to thank everybody from Triumph so much for being as awesome as you are (especially Syndralina and Pride), from the older players that have been here forever, to newer ones I’ve just met recently and every single one in between, if I was your friend in game, or you just know of me, or hell even if you don’t like me! =P

THANK YOU!
(and if you want some adorable overload, she uploaded like 10 pictures of us on her CoHFaces page =P)

Yo Magenta, I'm really happy for you and Kay, I'ma let you finish, but Triumph has some of the best players of all time! So I've got to throw the thanks back in your court, because you and Kay make Triumph just as much as anyone else here.

Congrats, and you two get nothing but best wishes from me.

Gratz Magenta and Kay!
