(no subject)
Sometimes I forget how much it really sucks to try to worm your way into prominence in a kingdom. Making yourself visible at events is a pain, especially in hours you waste getting to and from, and the time you put into being there. I blew an entire three day weekend straight to hell to get to the BS Kingdom midreign. And while doing these things gives me a chance to see some of my newer friends and make some still newer ones and I do get a chance to “play” knight (including going to circle meetings). I also get to meet some of the folks we’re talking about giving belts to, which is good. Mind you, there are a few voices on the circle I trust enough to trust their opinion, but it’s still good to get your own.
But all I did all weekend was tend fires for the feastocrat. I did peel potatoes while she judged A&S and did my level best to dry the poor womans shoes, it was still miserable. It rained all weekend. It was cold, and I wound up sleeping in my car because a. I didn’t want my own tent to mildew because I won’t be able to air it out anytime soon and b. I didn’t want to be near certain people fucking guys they just met that night keeping me awake.
It’s not so much that I mind people hooking up and enjoying a good time, but if your going to do such things with another person in a different section of your three sectioned tent, have the goddamned common decency to make sure their sleeping before you get started. This, my friends, is exactly why I now have the Manor. So I don’t have to share spaces with another person and get woke up by them fucking. Admittedly, they were doing their best to be quiet, but when all there is to hear is the wind, the wildlife and the muffled moans of pleasure, it’s not hard for ones hearing to all of a sudden get acute.
But the weekend did give me a chance to think on my persona and the fact I need to revamp a few things. I’m getting close to maxing out Anti-Paladin, and am thinking toward my next class. Now, since Knoblander is in March, right before I go to Japan for 4 month, I’m hoping to be level three Assassin or Scout by then. I’m thinking of doing a cyber-punkesque vision for awhile. Maybe urban cammo or regular forest. I’ve also been toying with black (of course). Definitely going to go for a look I call “urban ninja”. Basically it’s a hooded shirt (like a sweat shirt) but with a deeper hood made of a quilted material for winter wear. Of course there will be the face-covering mask, but a green sash (an actual sash, not a baldric) if I play scout.
I’m thinking Anti-Scout in the woods. It’s time I start getting my brain ready for suffering fools back home again. Too bad this time I don’t plan on suffering them gladly.
11 more months to go, gang, and I have Okinawa between here and home…
