You know you're taking Layonara a bit too seriously when...

jjkolb · 08-30-05, 11:26 AM

...you actually feel bad that your ox died. (In real life, not in character

)

I was mining in the Sielwood cave and left my ox in between me and a spawn point (I won't name the creature). While picking away, I see this certain creature advancing toward me and knew that it had slain my ox. The poor thing had no chance. I still feel a little guilty that I left him for slaughter. My new ox just isn't the same...

Maybe I need a little break...

When working in a Heat treatment plant and you gotta load 100 pounds of cobalt into a wire basket to be "cooked". and all you can think is where is the ignot recyceler and how many ingots you'll walk away with.

Also you call that same heat treatment plant "a shrine to Dorand"

I don't get the opportunity to feel guilty over my dead oxen, as it seems to happen quite a lot. Kurgaz must be the only Dwarven Defender who can prepare himself for the possibility of defending a town against a balor by himself, yet can't even keep an ox alive when attacked by Kobold..

I must have spent gold numbering in the thousands on them things...

When you're thinking just what your characters would do in certain situations, and sometimes they shine out loud. I'm really just Key. It's come down to it. A mixture of Key, about a hundred twinkies, and a pack of cigarettes.

How 'bout, um, how 'bout when you dream a lot about it. Like when I had to confirm with IDii that Acacea had not been in the Nameless Dungeon with Remiel and Mettew anytime recently, after dreaming that I was still playing. Or...!

I had this dream last night that Plenarius was "going away" on a ship to somewhere, leaving Brisbane behind, and Acacea was for some sad reason on the boat as well (poor guy), chatting to him as the ship pulled away, about all of the reasons she felt bad for him for having to leave. Like, you know. All of the bad things that can happen to someone while sailing, and how their loved ones would never know, or they could die while they were away. "Boy, it sure would be awful if a storm came up and everyone died and you never saw her again, huh? Good thing I'm here."

And he turned it around, kicked Acacea off and grabbed Brisbane and it turned into a song and dance number. A surprisingly good one, if you could call any of them good. It was seriously freaky.

I guess you had to have been there. I almost died when I woke up.

Dear Lord I am glad I was not eating or drinking anything when I read this.

I would really like to see Key walk down the street in Hlint, licking a twinkie wrapper. Could you do that for me? I would, I don't know. Give you my soul. I've already sold it two or three times for various foodstuffs, but I'm sure it's good for another. They misfile a lot of paperwork, down there.

I dont got much more to say...

I was running a marathon about a week ago. It was in the middle of nowhere in Wyoming. There was no sign of civilization anywhere, just a dirt road through the desert hills. As I was running over one rolling hill, I thought, "Wait, this looks familiar. I've been here before." Then I realized where it was. The road to Fort Llast, with that little hill near the mercenary camp. I was so tired by that point that it didn't even seem odd to me to be having a deja vu moment over a nonexistent fantasy world locale.

Talan Va'lash · 09-06-05, 02:37 PM

When I used to live in boston, and I'd go out late at night, I'd stride out into the streets feeling perfectly secure thinking to myself "I don't need to worry about any street thugs I'll just pull out my longbow."

and then, like 45 seconds later I'd realize I don't have a long bow, and if I did, I probably wouldn't be very intimidating with it... then I'd start looking around suspiciously.

Anywho...

Yeah. I agree. Seriously. Taking of the... *brain mush, played... a jillion games of Creatures with Al today... ugh*

Or when you start to think about what your chances are of succeeding when you approach your boss.

*hands boss a 20 sided die*

Roll for it!

Synpox · 09-09-05, 02:46 AM

Hehe... my boss hates Layonara. Because, in my mind, its an acceptable reason to take off work for a few days...

After a 3 day vacation, all he had to say to me was "That Bloody guy had well better be dead, Baker!"

I was wondering the other day what the arcane spell failure would be for the cast around my wrist....

then I realized I couldn't really throw fireballs anyway. But, yeah....

feniox · 09-09-05, 04:54 AM

I went through this phase a while back of studying the behaviour of the people I know in order to determine their alignments. That was an odd week..

SquareKnot · 09-09-05, 07:38 AM

Hopefully none of you has had the same problem I had a few days ago. I started answering people using the phrases from my character's voice set. My wife caught on after about the second one. I was OK with "And now I will take my leave", but did get a few stares when I stupidly said at work, "Let's sneak up and catch them with their knickers down." I'm trying to be more selective now

ZeroVega · 09-09-05, 10:21 AM

�Yeah, had steak and rolls last night for dinner, and found myself trying to determine the amout of damage I could do to my sirloin with a butter knife...
�Found myself thinking more than once, "I have to have at least fourteen strength."
�Also speculated about what my AC would be with my heavy winter jacket on... gotta be at least equal to padded right...?

So far I have ..... 2 scribing XP!!!
