Random Encounter!

[matthias_wave]

Apparently roleplaying games will take over your life. I mean, most everyone who reads this has heard me babbling about the Changeling game I'm in at least a little, but this one wasn't intentional.

Especially since I don't think Changeling normally has random encounters.

Anyway, I was at the bookstore (actually at the bank, which is inside the bookstore for reasons I suspect benefit the store) when I ran into one of the other players - whom I'll call "Fox" here, because her character more or less is. Well, I say ran into - apparently she saw me come in, but I didn't hear her calling.

So what did she do? She snuck up behind me and addressed my character in her character's voice. Given that Fox's voice has a definite dangerous undercurrent to it, you can imagine my reaction to hearing it purring "Hello Dark-eyes" in my ear. Namely that it scared the crap out of me - I think I may have stepped on her foot, but if I did she didn't say anything about it.

We had a pleasant conversation while I waited for one of the tellers at the bank to be free (in which I informed her I couldn't be at game because I was spending Easter at home), but it was just the start that was weird. And about gave me a heart attack.

No, in fact I think this may be the first time she's ever done it out of character that I've seen. Though it does tend to creep into her voice just a little when she's being sarcastic.

Don't get your hopes up; it only worked because I was completely and utterly not expecting it. I had no idea she was even there; Fox are sneaky, both IC and in RL. Sneakier IC, but that's because it's a LARP and her character has fox feet and doesn't wear shoes.

Yay~ You've basically got me Friday evening, all of Saturday, and Sunday morning. I see you finally dragged Mom to see Alice?

Why yes, yes I did. Pete did the dragging, I tagged along. She wowed over the rain drop on the leaf pretty early in the film. Sucker for 3D.

Plz not to mind RP journal

I'll bet. Did they have the trailer for Legend of the Guardians, too?

And what did you think of the one for Tron Legacy?

Yes they did. The feather graphics work is excellent. *eyeballs IMDb* Whoa, nice voice talent on that one.

As for Legacy... I'm not certain the story was begging to be told, but the graphics totes rock. And I'm a serious sucker for Boxleitner. Ask Matthias or Yushi how much B-5 litters up the vid cabinet.

That is me, Mom - like I said, RP journal. I has them. :P

[gritsinmisery.livejournal.com]

I'm supposed to keep track?

Tron Legacy looked very shiny. *stares at glowy rings*
Damn, now I need to learn the original plot of Tron...

I'm sure there's a better than even chance Mom and Dad have it somewhere.

If not you can probably get it on PPV - maybe tonight or tomorrow, when I'm home to watch with you? *big eyes*

Re: Plz not to mind RP journal

[yushi-radishes.livejournal.com]

Heheheh. Mos' likely we can find it, if not on PPV then at a video store.

Correction: sucker for complex graphics rendering. I would have been impressed even if we'd seen it in 2-D (and a hella lot less broke.) Remember, your hausfrau mutter used to develop and maintain computer graphics programs for government contracts. I had a real life once upon a time... *grins*

Don't worry, mom, we know. Oh, and just to keep you from going over and over this every time one of them gets mentioned, no, I have no plans to hook up with any of the girls (or women) in my Changeling group.

You're not getting any younger, you know... (/Jewish mother)

[matthias-wave.livejournal.com]

Mother, I'm nineteen.

And you're not Jewish. For that matter, is anyone in your family Jewish?

[gritsinmisery.livejournal.com]

*scratches head* Highly unlikely. I'm guessing we're Protestant clear back to where you run into an aboriginal ancestor or the English Civil War. Grandma F's side is Methodist as far back as I know, and I'm clueless about Grandpa B's. I never heard anyone mention where your Great-Grandma B or her mom and dad went to church, although there was pretty much nobody that didn't back then. Grandma F would probably know that, though.

My point, she is proven.

Also, Kazie thinks you're cool.
