Unplugged! - "Sasha Award"

AWARDS UNPLUGGED: Where we take the Summer 2008 awards & break 'em down to "Tribe" references so you can see what each award refers to, then the defining moment that resulted in a character receiving this award.

Sasha Award

Ok, I'll admit it. There were a lot of things I didn't like about the character of Sasha from Season-1, but we won't go there. I'll focus on something positive instead, which is what this award is about. Sasha brought laughter back to the Mallrats - clean fun & pure enjoyment. Music, dancing, singing, games ... things that were sorely needed, good for the spirit. In a world with precious little entertainment or diversion, Sasha brought that all back.

In our game, that distinction goes to JENNA & TELLER. Jenna is an old-school bard, traveling from place to place bringing news & stories of what's happening in the outside world. Without cell phones or radio or TV, there's not very much can serve that purpose except for good ol' human determination & the power of walking. Teller is what his name implies - a "teller" in the River Rats Tribe. His role is to teach new generations about their roots, their mistakes & their heroes. Lately he's been taking those stories to the streets of Fort River, because the River Rats are very much connected to the life of the city itself. Now our storytellers are in a friendly competition at Home, sharing stories for 5 nights with all who want to listen. Their storytelling is one of the few civilized forms of entertainment in Fort River these days. Definitely better than school for teaching history lessons!
