Character Creation
Today's Writing Effort
I've never understood the thing about suburban men who are obsessed with "the lawn". But today I think I might have gotten a little closer to understanding them. I watered all the household plants and was in charge of making sure the lawn got really watered, at least the part that's not getting dug up and turned into a veggie garden. So I figured out a little bit of the timer system, at least enough to bypass it. I moved the sprinklers around and let 'er rip. It helped that later on we had a thunder storm. But I'll get to that later.
Most of the day was spent doing light chores and lounging about. Bastion's Grandma dropped him off just before maxheadwidth went to the gym. Bastion and I mostly just did our own thing for a while. Then when James came back, he and Bastion made a run to Costco for box fans and popsicles.
Then Dan, Gina, and Marc arrived for our Character Creation session for the new game. It probably went slower than Dan would have liked, but I had fun. And next time we play, we can just dive right in. Plus, Dan and I got to go off and make out downstairs, which was super hot and fun.
James seemed to be having a tough time about something, but I don't think it had anything to do with the people in the room. After our guests left, I did the dishes and James and Bastion went to watch a little anime. But Gina called me. Dan was not in a good mental/emotional place after our Character Creation session. Gina said that James' behavior gave off the impression that he was displeased with Dan or the session or something along those lines. So she asked me to talk to James about what was going on.
But I wanted to wait until he and I were alone. And for some reason, as yet unknown, James and Bastion took the truck and left without telling me what was up. Hopefully it's just a run for snacks and they'll be back soon. Honestly, this is not a conversation I'm looking forward to because I don't think I have all the information I need. But I'll just have to do the best I can.
EDIT:
So the conversation was brief and pretty painless. Until later. James wasn't upset at anyone, he was just feeling overwhelmed and like he didn't have enough time to get everything done that he needed to get done. After he did some stuff for this big Hermetic thing he's doing for the next 42 days, we had a longer talk and I want to help more, but we need to get me (and Jenny) up to speed on what needs to be done and Jenny and I need the tools with which to do it. It's not easy, but it's absolutely necessary. Then James and I went to bed.
