And this is where you tell me I'm crazy...

So this weekend, with the Ethereals gone (except Aziraphael) and Door gone and Tom gone...

I had pondered, Saturdayish, for Kassandra to do her freaked-out prophesying thing, when nothing else is going on. You know, delve into the dark, mildewy bits that are Kassandra's Backstory.

...I know there are other classics geeks here... I can tell by sense of smell... ((it's the particular dusty reek of a Large Liddell, a copy of Cato and a side order of the Stoics.))

And I wanted to know what everyone thought. Because, er, the material? Not exactly kid-friendly. And it would be an intense thing to RP (not like I haven't done anything like that recently...) so some participation would be really great.

Thoughts? Comments? Suggestions? Rotten eggs? Half-chewed Milkbones? Chian wine?

Wanted to say, you're rather erudite, for a rattus norvegicus.

When Peter's not being a rodent or a friend-murdering traitor, he reads. A lot. I think you might call him a nerd.

(This is chiefly because I read a lot, of course.)

Pity we can't spar at the moment because I have to... uh... I have a job... dammit.

Darn jobs! Always getting in the way of what's important! Never mind, I'm sure we'll meet up in game at some point. I'm on Eastern time, by the way, but I'm an insomniac, so I'm likely to be on at odd hours.

But I admire your guts for picking a character you probably knew was going to get snubbed, maligned, and bitched at right out of the gate.

Of course I did. But I think the character will be well worth it.

And besides, all the snubbing, maligning and bitching creates conflict and new alliances and new conversations. Which leads to development of character. And changes in characters leads to new plots. Which lead to new storylines. Which leads to more fun for everyone.

Can't wait to see what kind of layers you've got.

Can't wait to meet the selkie either! (I'm of Scottish descent in real life, and I have a soft spot for selkies.)

And thank you for the Brie.

Sushi?
