I had a bit of a meltdown before game today. It wasn't particularly pretty, but it wasn't an awful one either and while working through it, I avoided a hell of a lot of potential physical pain. (Pain flares bad...) I have pretty much come to the conclusion (again) that trees are the most comforting thing on this planet and possibly others. I've been super stressed out for weeks and I'd had no idea why; I'd forgotten how stressful it is simply to be ill.

I also decided to stop playing Felicia! I don't have the energy to play someone young and perky and attentive and I can't even pretend to play mental games when the brain fog has taken over (and these days, by evening, that's almost a guarantee). After my extended walk about campus, I sat down and spent the rest of the game in character generation. I will now be playing the Widow Hainsworth, who is both more sedate and rather stupid, which gives me an excuse on the nights the fatigue turns my brain off. (If When the fatigue improves, I may invest some experience into bumping that stat up just a bit.) I conferred with Roman on how I might possibly make her punches do lethal damage, but as it turns out, I'd need to split my pool between Brawl and Weaponry. So I'll stick to bashing. Hainsworth is both Nosfetaru (her skin is more or less detached from the underlying tissues) and Ordo Dracul and I have a whole lot of backstory to write up. Hooray!

Did anyone else see the new Torchwood? I found it all a bit lack-luster except Owen, who was A+.

When isn't Owen exceptional. I must admit though, I do so love Ianto.

Owen isn't so exceptional for most of the first season, when he is busy being creepy. Creeeeepy. He has won me over, though, and is probably one of my favourites in this second season.

Ianto has really grown on me this season! I think I would have enjoyed his back story more if he hadn't already been able to divine so much of it. Torchwood One seemed fairly certain and Lisa and Jack's eventual "Yes" were obvious factors.

i think that making characters is my favorite part of (my limited experience in) rpgs.
hooray for getting to do it more!

xoxo.
i miss you.

I have written a page of back story and I haven't even gotten to her Embrace yet. So much fun!

I miss you too! Give Glendon lots of love for me.

Well, one thing is for sure. You won't have to act stupid playing Hainsworth on the days that fatigue is bothering you. It will be so easy just to sit there and zone out. I zone out everytime I'm tired. I never know who is saying what to me. :0)

Hope the fatigue is not too bad. I sprained my right ankle today and am completely frustrated that I now can't do anything but sit in one place. :0(

Real bummer.

Hope Easter was fun for you. I think I got a little TOO excited.

Take Care.

Loves,

I will still have to pay attention, but if all I do is react or suggest very straight-forward courses of action (hit the problem!), then that's in-character and alright. It's a bit of a relief to be simplifying, to be completely honest!

Sorry to hear about your ankle! Ouch.

Easter was good, though I have probably eaten too many Peeps. I hope you had a good one too.

Detached skin? Gross. I'd love to see you come up with makeup for that.

[akeyoftime.livejournal.com]

It would be awesome if I could, or the reactions to it won't be roleplayed properly. You've got me thinking, now! I'll be sure to post pictures if I can make anything work.

Sweet, I love creepy Nos flaws. I've many times wished for something that lets you do lethal through brawling! I mean, there's always gangrel claws that let you do aggravated, but that comes with its own issues.

in ur citys, creepin out ur pplz

There's also merit, but it's the fifth up a tree, which makes for a super expensive ability. Roman thought maybe punching knives, but Angela ruled that as Weaponry only. Sadface.

You would be dangerous if you could do lethal with your hands.

Hi,

I'm trying to build awareness of my new blog. Hope you'll check it out.

Thanks!

Thank you for the gesture! I keep forgetting to friend the journal (simple disorganization - I am a pro at it), but I'll treat this as my reminder.
