So yeah, gaming.

The battle royale was Friday night, and I think everyone got their fill of combat and chops. I can only hope. Personally, I didn't do much. I played a Daughter of Cacophany, because I really liked the idea of being able to give five people the derangement of my choice, and bidding 21 traits when doing so. Yeah, sick and wrong. It didn't work as well as I wanted it to, and while I was the first to act in that combat, the first round then went on for an hour and forty minutes, during which time I did nothing else... well, I played errand girl, but that was cuz it involved walking (and driving), rather than standing in one spot... :)

Sabbat game on Saturday was really good. I'm thoroughly enjoying playing Ember, and it's not just because I finally got to wear my super cute Lip Service dress (found at Goodwill for cheap!). She's definitely much more outgoing and team-player oriented than Paz ever was, so this means that people are much more likely to like her. It also helps matters that Tzimisce are rare in this game (just not that many people play them!), and once summer rolls around, she'll likely be one of two Tzimisce in the city... so yeah, very useful talent. :)

That, and she's just fun to play. Even though my southern accent is crappy as all hell, it's fun to play a character with an accent. It makes it much more clear when I'm IC. And it's always fun to see the reactions I get when people ask me what I do. Cuz granted, it's more about what I did prior to my Embrace, but it means I assembled a lot of useful little talents... :)

And I'm finding it far easier to go in the direction of Death and the Soul than I did going in the direction of Power and the Inner Voice. I know Death and the Soul. I've already started acting like I'm there, in large part... so this will make it far easier when the time comes to make the test to go on the path... :)

In other news, my office was an oven yesterday. It's much more reasonable today. And if it gets warm again, I'm dressed for it, and I have a fan. And while I was mostly joking when I told my boss we could just douse our heads with water and run fans pointing directly at them, it would work... :)
