Neat! Hugh Laurie (House) has a British accent! He's like James Marsters in reverse.

Since it turned out we had three Night Castes for [livejournal.com profile] ecchs's game, I found myself a new concept and I'm playing a Zenith Caste instead. The short description is that Alisa was a popular bard-type in The Realm, who was eventually seduced by a DragonBlooded Dynast. Unfortunately, it was the wrong DragonBlood to sleep with and Alisa had to leave really quickly, matters further complicated by the fact that she Exalted. Thankfully, the Wyld Hunt is not on her tail. She's been in Gem a few months, rebuilding her career. She's even picked up a few followers! Hooray for lackeys! I'm excited to see where this concept leads as the game goes. I don't know that I've ever played a socials primary before.

My last first class today! Yesterday was "Intro to Critical Sexualities" and looks like it will be really, really interesting and occasionally challenging. The professor's aim is to push at our boundaries (I don't think I've ever been asked, let alone permitted to yell words like "fucking" and "cock" by a professor before) and she asked a lot of interesting questions, like "How do you define sexuality?". Which is a lot harder than we all thought it would be.

Hugh hails way back from Blackadder fame. His American accent is pretty convincing, though.

I hadn't suspected he wasn't an American. Granted, I wasn't looking either. I'll be working at it now though!

Sounds like fun! Are you all preachy about the Unconqured Sun? What's your fighting style? Are you going to be a social combatant?

Where is this game taking place, by the way?

This course sounds interesting, something that I'd enjoy.

Not terribly preachy, no. She's just like to go back to life as she knows it (not that that's entirely possible anymore). She fights with a pair of (artifact) flamepiece and uses dodge to save her skin in close combat. The new dodge charms are awesome. I gave her a dot of melee just in case, so she can do neat stunts like block attacks with her guns. The game is taking place in Gem.

A lot of people feel that way about the course. I hope it continues along that thread.

If by marks, you mean participation? Yes.
