Amusing...

[lithera]

Last night I had an idea in character. My character in this game has pretty much stopped talking when people aren't speaking directly to her because she's always talked over and so she's stopped saying things. (It's an aspect of the game that is great. I'm not complaining about it. It works well for all of the other character because they're teenagers, for the most part. Catherine is just really different from the rest of them.) The GM had me roll to see if I had a brilliant idea, which I got a critical success on. It was the same idea I'd just had. OOCly I explained to him that I'd had that idea but wasn't saying anything because of the aforementioned effect. It amuses me greatly that it took three more attempts to be heard before people were listening.

I like Catherine. I really do. It's just interesting to sit back and listen to what everyone says and not to participate too much. It is really quite different for me and while it is amazingly frustrating ICly, it's amusing OOCly.

Other than that... I slept... okay. Looking forward to my trip. A little nervous but.. I always get that way before trips. I'll be fine once I get to the airport and start having to take care of things. I'm great in situations where there is something (anything) to do. When all I can do is sit and wait? That's when I'm likely to completely flip out.

Eeeeeee.

Playing a quiet character would be quite a change for me - maybe I should give it a try.

It's different for me as well. I didn't plan Catherine this way. It is just how she's turned out.

Darn, now I'm curious as to who/where this is. :)

It was tabletop. It's entirely understandable that you're a little confused about it.

You get my comment about RP?

I did. I was going to talk to you online tonight about it. :)

Sweet. I'm starting to get into the swing of thigns for Arisia again and there are all sorts of ideas coming to me for playing her. I need to broaden her RP circle some and I have all of these ideas....

Ah, the days when I had a good D&D group.

I find quiet characters are usually the way to go. Too much time spend on bickering about what you should / shouldn't do. First time I ever did any kind of roleplaying in that sense, I just ignored the bickering and did something.

Then again, I played a half orc barbarian who really just only wanted to 'smash' because it made a neat sound.
