Serenidad
So Serenity LRP was this gone weekend. Bit of a surprise, really: I've been mooky crew for the last four years, and on the way up to help with pre-event set up (I thought putting player packs together) I was first asked to rules-ref the science plot, and then to write entirely new plots for one group on the spur of the moment. Chaps, let me beg you: yes, it's cool to have fleshed-out character and group backgrounds, but please, 23 pages for 10 guys is WAY TOO MANY. Concision and succinctness are virtues. I am such a fan of the 100 word statting 'system' we unvented for Martell - and not just because I am a lazy bugger (though for sure I am).
The event went as well as it could given the fact we had six inches of snow on Saturday night and I had some kind of horrendous mouth rash of extreme pain and caffeine-imbibition-prevention. Newsflash: Lizy cannot run without caffeine.
Still, the plot that I wrote (in a pair with a[nother] newb ref, Delwyn) went off, or at least, one of them did pitch-perfect, one went mostly-okay and the other turned into a slowburner. Because of the EXTREME BUSY, I only got to take one NPC out, but she was someone-else's-plot integral and funtimes. Hilariously it was written by a lecturer (and not-quite-nepotist <3) at my first choice uni, and thus I got to be a surgeon for the weekend - there's some cool pictures of me assisting with in-character renal surgery that I really need to make sure don't get seen and unfortunately misinterpreted by any applications people. XD
Really chuffed that I've got a couple new chaps recruited for Tuillé Traders at the first event this year - the aforementioned Delwyn and also a_place_to_fall, who introduced me to RP but is new to LRP.
#Classified, the current Oxford society game, remains intense and awesome on a weekly basis, but getting there is becoming increasingly tricky. This may prove awkward now I've been asked onto the GM team for the next game, Disjunction. I'm still taking driving lessons every week, but my instructor says I'm at least a couple of months away from test-taking, and Dad is too busy to take me out for separate practise - also I'm not confident with him since I went over a big roundabout a few months back, the only time he's taken me out. I really should take jitson up on his offer to supervise me again, since the driving we did waaaay back (oh man, that was the day we booked Martell) was really helpful. I don't feel like I've hardly progressed since, though. Gah.
The job hunt has stepped up apace recently - been applying for a bucketload of temp work and things. Frankly I need to get out of the house for a reason that isn't LRP. I have also been exploring the non-parental cohabitation options, but things are looking a little grim on that front. It is currently a choice between returning to Norwich or some equally far-away place, or staying where I am, and frankly that is looking... uncomfortable. I'm a bit stuck.
