Felt very lazy today.

Work was productive. I accomplished more tonight than on Friday, and I feel like I'm getting the hang of it all, to start. There were only a couple things I did wrong tonight, and it was confidence building. Colorado's not a bad state to work on, it's fairly straightforward.

Home now watching Harry Potter for the umpteen millionth time. It's a staple in this house. Spent a lot of the day discussing the psychological development of our characters in Lumos Nox and that is the part I find most fascinating. The people I work most often with are completely into that, so I'm happy.

Hungry, hungry me.

Nice to know I'm not the only one thinking on such matters, in The Game That Consumes Your Life and Mind (as I now affectionately know it ;)

To me, it's the best part of the game. I tell people my character has managed to screw up the great love of his life, and is starting a new relationship with someone whom he previously causually despised. Usually they scratch their heads at me. But if you read through the notes, to logs, the journal entries, there is a clear progression of character. They are not static beings, that are always changing, rewriting history.

Encouraging words, not least because I'm playing a character (Filch) who would seem, on the surface, to be possessed of character traits not normally condusive to, err, such a social role-playing game. However, nothing is written (to steal a line); already he's giving up his secrets to me, and in turn, to others in the game.

BTW, I have indeed been going through the major characters' logs, and I agree completely that you have given your character an emotional arc that is both true to the spirit of Rowling, and to the needs of the game- I loved the dinner with the Indian food :) t

Well, Filch could be a many of many secrets. Who is to say? I think people forget that something crucial to these books is that they are written from a child's perspective, and as Harry grows older the world and people grow more complex. So I think you have lots of room to work with Mr. Filch.

Hehe, the dinner scene was fantastic and so bittersweet to work through. Those two drive me to distraction, as does any interaction with our esteemed Potions Master. So many levels, so much history. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
