Man.
I was going to do a post, I think, talking about travel--I don't do it very much, and honestly, I don't think it counts, because it's basically flying back to Texas to see my parents. The interesting thing for me, though, is that every time I go back to Austin, I am more and more certain that I don't want to live there; it doesn't really feel like "my" city. After fifteen-plus years, I still don't really know the streets and the neighborhoods and the directions except the MOST famous, and Austin is a city where you have to drive--public transportation is pretty damn laughable. Whereas in Seattle, I know where places are, I know where streets are, and I can navigate comfortably in this gray wet windy pacific northwest place.
But. I don't actually mind leaving Seattle--and coming back isn't very exciting. There's always this little part of me that perks up when we land at the airport in Austin, and part of me that deflates when I have to leave. I blame it on my parents--because I know they'll be waiting when I arrive, and they stand and wave at me until I've gone through the security checkpoint when I leave. I talked to Mom a bit about whether they'd move, and for her, Austin is her city. She likes it there, hot summer weather and allergies and everything aside. They've talked sometimes about moving back to Korea, or moving closer to me, but after last week, I'm not sure. Mom says she'd like it if I could inherit their house, which I have mixed feelings about--because it is the house I grew up in, and I love it, but it's in Austin and it's that horrible sinking feeling of knowing your parents won't be there forever. There is going to be a point where I will go back to Austin and they won't be there and I will cry in public even though I hate it. W-wry.
Then I got sidetracked! Life rolls on--I'm back at work again for the first time in nearly two weeks (in a display of the worst timing ever, I got miserably sick for a week, and THEN I went to visit my parents for a week o lulz) and it is madly busy. Some people even noticed I was gone and expressed concern and relief that I was not, in fact, dead. :|b I am also running my first game of CFUW ever, and it's the whole IC CARRYOVER KILL GAME and ahhhhhhhhhh I'm so paranoid. XD IT IS A LOT OF FUN BUT I kind of wish I could've gotten some practice in first, but oh well. Dive in headfirst to the deep end, me! You can do it! Or die trying!
On that note, I thought about doing the "I always wanted to say ..." meme, but I figured I'd do the super-lazy version and leave it in my journal.
ANON COMMENTING IS ALWAYS ON IN THIS JOURNAL and I made sure it is this time |D SO PLEASE TELL ME IF THERE IS ANYTHING YOU WANT TO SAY.
Technically IP logging is on but I'm bad with tracking that sort of thing.
A-and if people in CFUD can tell me whether I am overdoing it with wolf or if they're enjoying it or if there's anything I can improve, please please do. ;o;

I don't know if I'm making any sense, so I will just repeat: I do not want to make a Micro spinoff, nor do I want to ask the mods to.

On the other hand, if Bonten helps, maybe I'll just go for it and do a non-game-specific multifandom mafia thing. This thread got me looking at the wiki again and thinking about the variants that I really wanted to play with-- especially the ones that CFUW's rules really don't allow experimentation with.
From:

See, I do think that would work out--question, though! When you say non-game-specific, would you still allow people from other games to join with those characters? Say I wanted to throw Kantarou in, would I be allowed to carry him over from CFUD, or would I just use the journal and none of that particular version's backstory?
From:
no subject
I'd be aiming for the former, but allowing people to choose the latter if they wanted to? And if there are multiple versions allowed, where's the fun if they're all from the same point in game canon or whatnot? But I know that I've used Riff's journal as a CFUD journal AND as a blank slate AND as an AU journal, so it'd really be up to anyone who wanted to play. :x

I think the thing in my head I'm really picturing is something like the IC secret comm. WHICH IF THAT IS ALSO NOT WHAT YOU MEAN IS COOL I will look forward to seeing what you come up with. /o/
From:
no subject
YEAH, THAT'S WHAT I MEAN. :(b W-we'll see what we can come up with; hopefully it'd be at least somewhat open to whatever people wanted to do with it-- like if one person wanted to run a game with no duplicates, and another person wanted to run a game with duplicates, etc, etc. …Now I really want Bonten to come online so that I can whine on her.

As I said to her, I think a game run entirely of different versions of the same character could have the potential for amazing hilarity. :|b
From:
no subject
Yeah, my main problem is WHERE WOULD WE FIND THAT MANY PEOPLE WILLING TO PLAY THE SAME CHARACTER? but hopefully eventually it will be done. If we get this working. I would want that game to use the Lovers twist and call it Narcissus.
