I am not the tolkienist, nor a role-player. But my friends are. This weekend I've spent sleeping in the tent under the rain, my jaws could not meet each other because of cold. I participated in a role playing game based on Firefly universe.
Boy, it was awesome because of many things:
Boy, it was awesome because of many things:
- Camping. My first time ever spending nights in tent outside of buildings. Cold, cold, cold. People say that being with guys at night is much warmer - maybe I should check this next time.
- People. Simply hilarious. Costumes, acting, speeches, kindness, enthusiasm, creativeness. Players and masters were absolutely awesome.
- Dungeon. I've been to the dungeon as a hacker (there were lots of locks there that only hackers could open). So freaking fantastic game there. I was cherished as a hacker - comrades protected me, sometimes covered me with their bodies... Dangerous stuff all over the place, dead bodies, explosions, poisonous lianas growing on the walls of abandoned science station of Alliance - fun in the essence.
- Cooking and managing life in the nature. I liked cooking for my friends, making tea etc. It was interesting to solve problems of where to find water, interacting with people re: real life.
- Costumes. If you know Firefly, you might guess what kind of clothes we wore. I did not make anything for the game, just picked my normal brown clothes, plus the white coat of a science worker and a straw hat (it's damaged now due to the rain and mud). But some players were in clothes they sew or in costumes of cowboys or something else and it was kind of crazy to look at them. And yet it was very cool.
- Making friends. I made a few friends at the game. Mostly because I drank alcohol with them. On the last day of the game I've poured in myself around 8 different kinds of alcohol drinks. Coffee with vermouth was the best coffee I've ever tasted (no kidding)! 'Moo' with sweet milk and vodka was surprisingly good. And I've tasted the best whiskey, too. I was a scientist at the lab of FastFix (big corporation) on Silverhold (planet). Our boss (wonderful and talented person) suggested we drank after the game was over, Our lab (me, Vita and Alesten) agreed, so we've spent marvelous evening and night with our boss and his bodyguard, drinking, chatting, playing 'guess' games.
- Socializing. There was no way I could feel lonely, because I've talked to so many people during the day. And everybody were different, interesting, friendly. I've even fallen in love at night of the last day. Well, I was drunk and did what I love the most - listened to stories. The boss of FastFix corp. was amazing. Sometimes he looked like he was 40, yet he is only 2 years older than me. He has lots of interests, hobbies and thus he is a great talker. I was completely lost in his words and his real life. He is one of those unique people you can come across in life rather rarely. Moreover, his hands are just beautiful - long thin fingers. Together with dark eyes, harsh voice, aquiline nose and black curly hair he seemed utterly beautiful after our conversation and bottle of whiskey after vodka. I wanted to touch him desperately, but I became surprisingly shy all of a sudden. He is not from Moscow, so it's possible I will never see him again (except for games, maybe). And it does not matter, he is still a fantastic guy I've met.
- Being with friends. Good as always.
I've found out that I do not get drunk so fast and so erm deeply as my girlfriends. Plus, I don't get sick. But that's maybe because I don't drink much on other days. And I assume that hangovers do not suit me and can't happen because I don't really drink, right?
I did not unzip the info this weekend. And actually, I don't think I need it. I've thought about some stuff from the past, some zipped info came out and it was ok. It sank into my memory. Now it's who I am. And that's my past.
I've got another problem on my mind now - I am not the person, whom people like to touch. It's something subconscious. My friend is completely touchable, by the way. People touch her all the time (though it does not work on me). And I did not get a touch from FastFix president, though he could have done that if he felt like it. It saddens me, because I can find situations like that throughout my life - when I wanted and could have been touched/kissed and was rejected either consciously or not. I would like to find out the reason for that. Maybe I look too grim and serious or it's something else.
