	So this one time in Mooneschadowe, at the very first Triumphe of the Eclipse, I was granted my wish to Steward a Feast. Or, as I typed too often back then, "Feaste", to Magdelena da Cadamosto's intense annoyance. :-)		So this one time in Mooneschadowe, at the very first Triumphe of the Eclipse, I was granted my wish to Steward a Feast.

	~~'''Key Players:''~~'
	* Feast Steward, or designated appointee: Answer questions about what goes where and what needs to ~~be done next.~~
	* Waterbearers: Unobtrusively clean supplies used during the tournaments. The dishwasher pit is your best bet for this.

First Kitchen Party

	I didn't want to cramp anyone else's fun just because I was freaking out, so I positively resisted inviting people into my personal hell. But Charles told me to sit down on that stool over there, drink this cup of water, and wait for him. After a little more waffling on my part, I let him go do what he had to do. About 20 minutes later, Wookiee (Damon Xanthus) and Rikr came in and asked what needed to be done. Five minutes after them, another handful of people came by, including JP, Pete, Vlad, Charles, Isaac. (I don't remember if Dagr was there that first one but he was definitely at the second or third.)

	And so it went for about a half-hour until all of a sudden, I was chillin' with a nice mixed drink and directing traffic (since I was the only one who knew what pieces belonged where) as a crowd of people were suddenly in the kitchen, cleaning things and having fun! And they were drinking and ~~someone brought out a~~ Redwulf Songbook (and maybe Oxlade's Wrong Book if it existed at that point), and soap suds were flying. It was the most natural thing in the world for the dish-pit guys to take off their shirts. No one wanted to mess up their nice Court Garb, after all! And everyone was moving around so much that as one person would leave the dish pit, another would take his place, so all the guys were shirtless within 10 minutes of the first one losing his.
