So Maryland was awesome. Hiking plus doggy plus kitty plus poker plus kebabs plus nintendo (mario? streetfighter!) plus soulcalibur plus family guy movie plus good company plus no capitalization at all in this sentence. Rob has a great family.
What's also awesome in the amount our game progressed in the car trip to Arlington and back to Richmond. We have decided that there would be a certain kind of character whose specialty was linking. Imagine for a moment that you are a Fireweaver, adept at shaping the flows of fire into ribbons and coils of flame. You're not so good at the actual summoning of the energies involved, perhaps, but that's usually okay, because the little you can summon you can twist into all sorts of patterns.
Now, consider another character. He's a kind of Seer, able to see the weaves of force that comprise the world. Most open to the elemental forces of fire, he has learnt to generate massive amounts of energy inside himself, calling forth auras of brilliant flame as defense against sword and arrow. More importantly, he can see the weaves of fire as other people are weaving them. That means, teamed up with the previous character, they would be a nigh unstoppable force. Second person calls up alot of fire energies and feeds it to the first person, who shapes it and releases it in the form of multiple lances of flame. The second person then feeds those weaves again, resulting in BURNINATION!
Now imagine 8 of this second kind of character teamed up. Those aura fires are gonna be insane.
/nerd off
Back to this thing people call "real life". Lammermyre is leaving for LA on August 4th, and I can't go down to Florida until August 7th or 8th, because 1) the house wouldn't really be available, and 2) the train tickets for any earlier are really expensive. So my options are:
a) Keep staying at his place with his dad till the 8th. Problem with that is, it's kinda weird, and his dad is scary. Ask Beth. And food might be an issue, since he's not within walking distance to ANY food.
b) Find someone else to stay with, maybe in Charlottesville. Problem there is that train service from Cville is much more expensive than from Richmond, for some obscure reason. However, I DO get to see old friends and such.
c) Join the Polish mafia. I hear they offer accomodations to Family.
Option C is looking more and more appealing.
