===[  1] Lexie: A Note to Laura, my Precious===

My Dearest Laura,<BR>
<BR>
One week ago today, the world lost a beautiful person.  I'm thankful you no longer suffer the physical ailments that limited you and caused you pain, now<BR>
an angel watching over us.  It should comfort me, but I'm selfish damn it, and I miss you.  Over the last week, there hasn't been a day that's passed I haven't<BR>
found myself deleting more than a dozen half-finished messages to you. Whether it's simply asking how your day is going, how you're feeling, or telling you I <BR>
found a new way to torment Cordir on FB (thanks again, Mugen!); gossiping about people, places, and things; listening to your wonderful and sometimes crazy RP <BR>
ideas; telling you my latest plot; discussing our beach vacation plans; laughing with each other throughout the day; and at times comforting each other.<BR>
<BR>
I've been so blessed to have you in my life for over a decade, and as one of my closest friends the last six years.  Your strength gave me strength, your hope <BR>
gave me hope, your laughter was contagious.  You made me smile every single day we chatted, and I'll never forget our marathon phone calls on Skype.  No matter<BR>
the difficulties you faced, you persevered and kept a positive attitude, which I admired and tried to emulate.  You touched so many people's lives.  And, as I've<BR>
read the various messages and notes posted this week, it is clear how VERY much you were loved, how much you will continue to be loved, and how VERY much you will<BR>
be missed.  My life is better having known you, Laura, and you will always have a place in my heart.<BR>
<BR>
Love forever and always,<BR>
Your "Beloved"<BR>
<BR>
I am still saddened and at a loss... I'm not sure when<BR>
I will stop missing DarkClaw....<BR>
<BR>

DarkClaw will be missed, but not forgotten.  DarkClaw is Immortal, and she<BR>
shall live forever within our memories.<BR>
<BR>
Farewell, DarkClaw.<BR>
Farewell, Lost Ones.<BR>
Rest in peace, Laura.<BR>

Temple of the Lost
[Exits: south west]
Once over the threshold, the air inside this massive, cavern-like temple
turns frigid and the howl of the wind can be heard echoing some unknown
melody, remnants of its last refrain threatening the few remaining leaves upon
the large sycamore that dominates the center of the room. Its branches are
various near-barren shades of brown, white and grey, evidence of its previous
beauty scattered over the floor in a haphazard display of their fall from
grace. Twin streams of water flow from the base of the tree and are separated
by a walkway of shallow stairs cut into the rock that lead from a richly
carved coffin to the arching doorway that is surrounded by fire. To the east,
a massive shelving unit holds books and old, faded scrolls, spanning the
length of the cavern wall, making one wonder as to the history of this place.
A large mural hangs from the Northern wall, the color so vibrant that it seems
to liven the dreariness of the temple with its richness. A huge sheet of ice
is set high into the Southern wall, leaving no hints as to what lies beyond
it, its surface littered and marred with odd, shaken sketches of unfinished
tic-tac-toe games. Below lie two additional coffins, both finely-crafted and
magnificently made, one of which is large enough for two.
A large eye hovers in mid-air here, emitting a soft, purple glow.

Temple of the Lost
Area: I.Tiger Temple Area
[Exits: south west]
Once over the threshold, the air inside this massive, cavern-like temple
turns frigid and the howl of the wind can be heard echoing some unknown
melody, remnants of its last refrain threatening the few remaining leaves upon
the large sycamore that dominates the center of the room. Its branches are
various near-barren shades of brown, white and grey, evidence of its previous
beauty scattered over the floor in a haphazard display of their fall from
grace. Twin streams of water flow from the base of the tree and are separated
by a walkway of shallow stairs cut into the rock that lead from a richly
carved coffin to the arching doorway that is surrounded by fire. To the east,
a massive shelving unit holds books and old, faded scrolls, spanning the
length of the cavern wall, making one wonder as to the history of this place.
A large mural hangs from the Northern wall, the color so vibrant that it seems
to liven the dreariness of the temple with its richness. A huge sheet of ice
is set high into the Southern wall, leaving no hints as to what lies beyond
it, its surface littered and marred with odd, shaken sketches of unfinished
tic-tac-toe games. Below lie two additional coffins, both finely-crafted and
magnificently made, one of which is large enough for two.
A large eye hovers in mid-air here, emitting a soft, purple glow.

To: all
Laura, the player of DarkClaw and other TFC characters, passed away after a long illness. 
She was 50 years old. Laura started playing TFC around 1996, and has played regularly since, 
until her last visit on July 10th. She was an avid role player, and led two different followings 
during her tenure as DarkClaw. She was also the president of my fan club.

In honor of DarkClaw, her following will continue in her absence for one month after her last login.
I am really going to miss her, but I am thankful for the time she shared with TFC and myself.

We have lost a dear member of our TFC family.
A wake will be held in her memory in the Temple of the Lost (transport will be provided),
on Sunday, July 23rd, starting at Noon system time. We will be gathering remembrances at
the wake for inclusion in a memorial book, to be shared with her family and added to the
Library. So come and join us. Lift a glass, tell a tale, and remember.

My personal basis is not to mourn death, but celebrate life.

I welcome, to that end, all of us forever remembering and speaking
when something comes up that DarkClaw, Star, or any of her many names
remind us of her.

"I remember being with her when..."
"I remember when we were in THIS zone..."
"She was doing this thing, and I snuck up upon her..."

No matter the story...tell the tale. Always, always, let us reminisce.

I cannot think of a better way to honor those that pass than that.

[ 1] Lexie: A Note to Laura, my Precious

Fri Jul 28 01:34:43 2017
To: all
7/22/17
My Dearest Laura,

One week ago today, the world lost a beautiful person. I'm thankful you no longer suffer the physical ailments that limited you and caused you pain, now
an angel watching over us. It should comfort me, but I'm selfish damn it, and I miss you. Over the last week, there hasn't been a day that's passed I haven't
found myself deleting more than a dozen half-finished messages to you. Whether it's simply asking how your day is going, how you're feeling, or telling you I
found a new way to torment Cordir on FB (thanks again, Mugen!); gossiping about people, places, and things; listening to your wonderful and sometimes crazy RP
ideas; telling you my latest plot; discussing our beach vacation plans; laughing with each other throughout the day; and at times comforting each other.

I've been so blessed to have you in my life for over a decade, and as one of my closest friends the last six years. Your strength gave me strength, your hope
gave me hope, your laughter was contagious. You made me smile every single day we chatted, and I'll never forget our marathon phone calls on Skype. No matter
the difficulties you faced, you persevered and kept a positive attitude, which I admired and tried to emulate. You touched so many people's lives. And, as I've
read the various messages and notes posted this week, it is clear how VERY much you were loved, how much you will continue to be loved, and how VERY much you will
be missed. My life is better having known you, Laura, and you will always have a place in my heart.

Love forever and always,
Your "Beloved"

I am still saddened and at a loss... I'm not sure when
I will stop missing DarkClaw....

[ 6] Tynian: Not Forgotten

Thu Aug 10 19:31:29 2017

DarkClaw will be missed, but not forgotten. DarkClaw is Immortal, and she
shall live forever within our memories.

Farewell, DarkClaw.
Farewell, Lost Ones.
Rest in peace, Laura.

Laura was an incredibly sweet and kind person. I have many fond memories of her both on TFC and off. I am very sad to hear of her passing. The world is certainly a little darker without her.
Darren Laver (Ghazkull)
07/15/17

When I first returned to TFC after many years absence, DarkClaw took me under her wing and taught me the basics of playing again.
She geared me up and watched me lose it all over and over, she never tired of trying to help myself and many, many others in the realm.
I remember when I was going through a really bad patch in RL, she was there every night on MSN, chatting to me, letting me vent my anger
and frustration and get it all out of my system. It's sad that I never got to meet her personally but I will never forget the memories I have of her.

Geert van den Heuvel (Noctus)
07/16/17
Damn, she will be missed by many. DC was one of the kindest people at TFC. I will try to make it to the wake.

Plaque 40: Room of Records

Thousands of people have contributed to the world of The Final Challenge over 
its many years of existence. Few have had the longevity and blazed as fiery a
trail over its colorful history as Laura (Longberry) McIntyre, known here by
a number of identities, but primarily as DarkClaw. Laura began playing in '96
and was quickly drawn into intrigues and roleplay. Losing herself in a scene
was her greatest joy. In later years, it was an escape from difficult times, 
one that she oftentimes would comment on to friends and family. Second only to 
her love of RP was her joy in giving assistance to those who were new to TFC. 
Many newbies got their first welcome to TFC from Laura. 

As DarkClaw, Laura found her home in the Kindred Vampyric, already Turned by 
Dalamar. The dark, gothic tone of this heavy RP-based following suited her to
perfection. Many were lured into the darkness of Khore's cave, either by her 
friendliness and help, or her wicked wiles, and she stayed with Khore until 
his promotion to God+. In the Kindred, Arcanes, Coven, and Dark, she learned 
the delights of evil and chaos. In the Chosen of Fate, she learned of ritual 
and mystery, requesting (but not completing) a Trial of Triat Mastery. There, 
she also served as an Ordained, bearing the title, 'Goth Princess.' During 
that time, she created the "Tynian Fan Club" which amused the Founder so much 
he granted her a classtitle for a day of 'Implementor.'
 
Encouraged by several of her Deities, she petitioned for and was granted the
responsibility and trust of Immortality in 2007. Many bemoan the duty, but 
DarkClaw truly enjoyed her time as an Ambassador. When she was promoted to 
DemiGoddess, she became the leader of the Keepers of the Elements. During this 
time, she contributed to the development of the Outland Frontier by writing the
North Sava River. In 2008, she was promoted to Lesser Goddess. For another two
years, she led the KotE, retiring in April of 2010. In 2012, she returned to 
TFC full time and asked to be an FLI again. She was restored to Demigoddess on 
June 2, 2012, creating the Lost. The following year, she was promoted to Lesser
Goddess for the second time.  At the time of her loss, there were 77 individuals
on the roster of the Lost - the largest following on TFC at that time.
 
Laura was also a prolific writer, her favorite medium being poetry, which she 
shared on the mud and via Facebook. Many of these works can be found on her 
wiki page and in the Grand Library, to which she contributed several pieces of 
content, and planned to write more.
 
Due to very poor health, Laura was unable to work or travel the last several
years of her life. Her many close online friendships became especially precious
to her, and she referred to them as a lifeline on more than one occasion. She 
had friends around the globe and in many different online environments. As a 
mortal she was faithful to her friends and respectful to her enemies. As an 
immortal, she inspired loyalty and love from her many followers. 

She will be missed.
