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.

I sorta did that to a uni friend, some... *counts on fingers* nine years after the last time I'd seen him. We ended up at the same professional conference, and I spotted him during a speech. I walked up behind him during a break and used a line from a play we did in uni together. He jumped half a mile high, then gave me a big hug.

Oh, he had to hug you too -- you were "on board" and definitely making your presence known.

I haven't seen him since. Which is probably just as well, since your father hated him for being the rival for my time and affections that he was.

Is Fox the not-in-school female?

That would be rather creepy. Does she tend to do that out of character?
PS: Do not give me ideas. You do not want to give me ideas.
On a more upbeat note, yay for you coming home for Österpause!

It's always fun to meet the players in person. Although in my case they were all planned, no random encounters. XD Back during the Econtra days, Kane-mun, Meilin-mun and I had coffee together... and we ended up just talking about the modplot. XD;

PS. *giggles while reading all those comments* I think your mom is cool. :D
