Alex: Primordials, if you ever got to them, would eat you
Min: Ah
Min: So not the kinds for "Hello mate!"
Min: and tea and crumpets
Min: and a small parade
Min: Decorations streaming the streets
Min: Four day long concert
Min: Tribute in their honour done in the form of a giant statue made out of some strange green substance not found on the planet
Min: and of course the concubines. Magical ones though who can please the primordials, since I imagine they don't make for the best of bedfellows
Min: Mind you, I don't know this from firsthand experience, but it's a risk I'm willing to take
Alex: XD
Min: Note to self: Primordials don't like crumpets

The aforementioned religious post...

Is not contained herein!

Instead, have a cookie. Also, a note about Saturday's meal, because Pat's dad is still stalking m--reading my journal *cough*.

Dinner was asparagus (fresh from a farm, from the sounds of it), potatoes and steak. Everything was very good, although the outside of the steak was still pinker than I would have liked. Oh well.

Other than that, this was the weekend of roleplaying! Sadly, no Exalted #1 game (The Four Orbs campaign), but Meagan and Brad and I did start Exalted #2 Campaign (aka The Nexus Campaign, for now).

Their characters are the best. Things like "Day 38: she talked about her wives again today. I am starting to be annoyed with them by proxy" = love. Moon is hilariously cowardly sometimes. Meanwhile, Meagan's character is buddies with a Celestial Lion, with a hilarious propensity for referring to Exalted as Celestial Ones. This makes Sunrise v. uncomfortable. Hence, hilarity.

I may have accidentally caused the Sorcerer's Guild of Nexus to be utterly destroyed. Um, oops? Also, I am the best priest ever. "I'm not going to tell them to pray to the Unconquered Sun!"
"Make a conviction check."
"I only have Conviction 2!"
"Oh. ...never mind, then."

However, I now can learn how to summon an Elemental to do my bidding, so maybe I can hit them up for spells...

Vampire (Requiem) was disturbing. It was also CSI: Vampire. Jimmy is now officially dead (sadness!), and we've got a hunter infestation. Crap.

---

Vampire (Masquerade LARP) was entertaining. Pat's character was killed - long live Pat's character. The new one is much better (similar to the IKEA lamp). I say this because I have pervy thoughts when Pat wears glasses, and they get pervier when you add a vaguely high-class European accent to it.

Er. I mean, nothing. *cough*

The character concept seems pretty cool, even aside from my pervy thoughts. I mean, how can you not love a Brujah with Carthage tattooed on his fists? (I mean, there are lots of ways. Esp. if one is a Ventrue. DAMN IT PEOPLE IT WAS A FIGURE OF SPEECH.)

That is all for now, until Mage spoilers 3.1 come out. (Eee.) Then, religion post. Promise promise.

An Arrow is a warrior first, but this isn't as narrow a calling as many suspect. For every frontline fighter who rends the horrors of the Abyss with bare hands and soul, there's a strategist who sees and manipulates the secret patterns of the world. Economic, ecological, and esoteric conflicts are studied, mastered, and beaten into any shape the Arrow desires. Mages see reality as a many-layered thing, full of signs and movements invisible to the uninitiated. The Awakened art of war follows these pattern using a thousand techniques.

...

Only righteous service gives an Arrow's life meaning. After the Fall, the order defended other mages from the new dangers of the Fallen World and swore oaths of loyalty. Today, this is still the Adamantine Arrow's primary role. Their mages defend sanctums and cabals as long as they are legitimate heirs to Atlantis. Some Arrows purportedly guard evil things that cannot (or because of some cruel fate, must not) be banished from the world.

Alright, the religion post. This is likely going to be patchy, since religion is something that I was, well, somewhat patchy with religion.

( This will probably bore most of you. )

I think in the end, it comes down to this: I don't think there is any outside force that can affect my life. I can appreciate beauty, whether in a church or in nature or in the bonds of friendship shared in these places; but I do not think there is any power that exists outside of the physical and mental realm. I am whole as I am; I am not "lacking" in anything. However, there's always room to improve, but that improvement is going to come from me and me alone.

So, yeah. Does that make sense to anyone?
