She wouldn't come to me again. She'll come to my roommate, or my neighbors, or most of Boston. But she turns her head when I slide under the sheets. She has a headache. Whatever.
Half a Dramamine later, I'm waiting for her to arrive, confident she will be there. And she does show up, some time around 1:30. No words are exchanged, I relax into her arms and sleep...
BLAM! crash, click SLAMrattlerattlerattle. There's a numbing breeze on my shoulder, turning the skin clammy and sore. The wind has slammed the back porch door shut so hard the doorknob fell off. Shuffle out of bed, trip over clothing. Reattach the doorknob and bolt the door shut. Downstairs I can hear footsteps. No doubt our landlord was awakened too. Closing the kitchen door, the one separating the kitchen and den, causes a great breezeway between the kitchen and my room. During the summer, this will be invaluable in keeping my room cool. Now, it's a creating a wind tunnel that wakes up the entire house. It can even penetrate the haze induced by drugs. I stumble through the darkness, and close the window directly over my bed. I slide next to sleep and mutter heartfelt apologies. She curls into me, muttering platitudes back to me, and we become one again.
Well, killed a nice hour at work today writing down my thoughts for my Mage game. All the thoughts were in my head, and now many more of them are on my PC. I am pleased. Most of it is back story information, things that I can let the players uncover, which helps create the sense of mystery and drama. It also helps me to link the events together, so when the full truth is know the players can blanche appropriately. There are a lot of ideas there, and a lot more waiting to be written down. I've got material for a good YEAR of gaming. If I had any fears or doubts about being able to pull this off, they are banished. With the big background out the way, that will let me focus on putting together vivid scenes, snappy dialogue, and exciting action sequences.
Unlimited budget.
Cast of thousands.
Director... me.
