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.

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)

Mother, I'm nineteen.

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

*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.
