London
0822: On the train, with a little more drama than I would have ideally liked. I got to the station with my railcard, wallet and booking number, only to find that I was missing a digit from my booking number so I couldn't get my ticket from the machine. Fortunately the person at the ticket office was able to pull them up straight away so it wasn't too bad, just a brief panic.
1014: Bored. I've got a chunk of stuff down for the Pargon game weekend after next. Don't think it's going to be spectacular, really. Trying to get a decent combat/thinky/rp ballance is frikkin' hard when you don't know what encounters the players are going to try and talk their way through. I kinda want to write something now, some little ficlet or other, but I'm not finding any inspiration anywhere, and nothing I write that's forced is worth the time.
1220: Hungry. I'm at the pub waiting for food to arrive, though, so that's not going to be a problem for much longer. Haven't had Kate and Sidney pie in aaages. Hopefully it will be good. I did get some writing done in the end, quite a dark story so far, told in short scenes 'cause that's easier, about a young Fenrir/Silver Fang/Wendigo, I think. She could be heading toward the Spiral, but I don't think she'd go through with that. She doesn't even have a surname or a country of origin yet, so we'll have to see. It's left me in a bit of an odd mood, really.
1254: Full. It was a good pie, and it came with a good serving of peas and mash as well. It's unusual fo me to get peas I actually like, but these were good. Couldn't finish the mash, though. I can't say I like the prices at the College Arms, but you do get what you pay for. Good food and plenty of it.
1846: On the train again. Fed and had a fun game. A little annoying that I had to leave a little bit before the end, but I don't think I missed too much. Just finished making notes for my Downtime, and there are quite a few major actions in there. This may be interesting. An amusing conversation came up during the game, with Kath's character, Lucy, asking about my IC relationship.
L:"So how's that all going?"
A:"It's... complicated."
L:"How so?"
A:"You've met her."
L:"I think I've been introduced in passing, but..."
A:"You had quite a long conversation with her. Right after we killed her mother."
L:"Oh... you're dating her."
A:"Yes. It's complicated."
A little later, and after a little time of Lucy trying to persuade my character to pop the question, Mr Mikey, playing Feudbringer, my pack alpha stepped into the conversation.
F:"Da, it is a good thing, for future of pack, and of Nation."
*Me and Kath exchnge looks*
L:"What are you reffering to, Feudbringer?"
F:"Think's Twice's Rank challenge."
L:"That... wasn't what we were talking about."
1959: Tired. Music is currently competing with a wailing child somewhere behind me. So far it's something of a tie. The music is drowning out most of the crying, but not enough for me to not notice or get annoyed with it. Actually... dare I say I think it's stopped?
2003: Spoke too soon.
0722: Well, he didn't cry for the entire journey. Anyway, am home now, slept, had breakfast and am not feeling too bad. Might be able to justify going back next month. Will have to look at booking tickets soon if I'm going to, though.
