green_dreamsI feel like a rubber band that's just been snapped. It was hell getting to and through what brought me to this point, but right now I'm very calm and not stressed at all.
Given what's going on in the office and in Ohio, this confuses the hell out of me.
(Office stuff has escalated to a new level of "You did the fuck *what*?" Ohio has Marcon, which is infinitely better. You guys all have fun for me, I'd be there if I could.)
Last night was cool. Bank robbers should not be armed with Gatling pistols, and should not make their getaways in steam wagons that are equipped with flamethrowers. This absolutely *requires* investigating. (I don't know why Curious is considered a flaw rather than a given. I mean, PCs. PCs are the sort that you need a restraining order against to keep them from poking around in something.)
Also, I melted a horse. Accidentally. Ish. Without witnesses, thank god.
The smell of ferret has been almost entirely evicted from the apartment. They are incredibly cute, and they do cause mild hiccups in the brain--I still cannot quite believe they *bend* like that--and it was funny watching the cats react{1}, but I would not keep one. Still.
X-3 tonight. Yay.

{1} Hm. Small animal. Like a squirrel. Prey? Maybe. Moves funny. Might be prey--ohgodohgodohgod it's coming towards me it's gonna *touch* me! *skitters backwards down hallway*

As for cat reactions...have you ever seen a cat meet a hedgehog?
Freakin' awesome!!

Date: 2006-05-26 05:41 pm (UTC)Hedgehog: Lalala, I am out and about, and looking for a place to burrow.
Cat: WTF!!!
Hedgehog: wuffle wuffle sniff sniff, minding my own business, eating spiders from under the cupboards...
Cat: I think I should be able to eat you. Or something...[attempts to whack hedgehog with paw, first swipe is deflect by flattened spines, which are pretty armor-like even when not puffed out]
Hedgehog: Oy! What are you doing!? Pfft! Pfft! [spikes puff out, eyebrow ridge covers eyes, wandering about continues...hedgehog resembles walking sea urchin]
Cat: Hmm...that's weird...I will try again...[whacks hedgehog, this time, spikes are out, so I imagine is is like trying to smack a cactus, but without the clingy bit]...Oh christ on crutches what the HELL!!
Cat then steps back and rests for a bit, watching the hog the whole time...hedgehog continues his promenade, mostly oblivious. After a couple of minutes, the whole thing repeats.

Usualy the curious flaw in games is less "Hmmm... I wonder what's going on with that bank robery, I shall investigate once I take care of this mess", and more "I must jump into that APC thingy NOW to see what is inside!!!".
It's all about the exclamation marks you see.

Date: 2006-05-26 05:10 pm (UTC)A PC and a Curious PC see a big red button. Both want to know what it does.
A PC will try to find someone who can tell him what it does. He will try to find and read a manual, or get a schematic of the device with a big red button.
A Curious PC will push the big red button.
Curious is a flaw, for PCs, because it represents a *reckless*, *dangerous* level of curiousity.

Date: 2006-05-26 05:31 pm (UTC)Similarly, I want to find out who the hell is equipping mooks with weird tech, but I'm not going to find out by stealing a horse in front of the Sheriff and charging off into the desert to follow the tracks so I can stand in front of the flamethrower and yell "Hey! Who does your gearwork?"
It leads to you being recklessly and dangerously intrigued with what you're curious *about*, but it doesn't define you as being stupid about the world you're being curious *in*.

Date: 2006-05-26 07:02 pm (UTC)Basically I believe our shared point is that PC's however curious they are still have the basic sense of self preservation.

Date: 2006-05-26 09:06 pm (UTC)The difference, as I see it, is this:
The Curious PC is incapable of *not* looking up when he's pretty sure the tree is drooling on him.
