Thank you to everybody for the awesome birthday wishes! :D

Camping was wonderful! It was relatively low key, as this was more a romantic getaway than anything else, but we got one damn good hike in and a few smaller ones. Mostly we just hung around the campsite, talking and being silly and enjoying our very comfortable tent.

And spontaneously LARPing.

No, really. Freeform, spontaneous LARPing. (Live Action Role Play, for those who may not have heard the term before.)

I used to LARP a lot. And honestly, what I did (and we do) isn't even really LARPing, it's just that sounds so much better then 'playing pretend'. No system, no rules, just whatever we feel like.

We ended up doing this from afternoon Saturday until...well, we don't really know when we finally passed out but it was probably between midnight and three. Man, I haven't done that in years. When we first started, I didn't even think about it. All of a sudden, Danni's calling me by a character name and the crazy loud family across the way with a dozen kids and hardly any parental supervision were...you know, I don't think we even decided what they were. Just some sort of unknown threat and there was an epic battle outside and we were hiding in the tent.

By the time we fell asleep...well, we'd broken like three worlds and plunged everyone into chaos. Good times, good times. And she realized that the way to get me back into this without feeling self conscious or awkward was to just start with no warning or preamble.

We got in mid-afternoon yesterday, and I kind of crashed. I wrote a fuckton in bed, and then had pizza and watched Zombieland with [livejournal.com profile] nijawial. Good movie! I was honestly impressed with it. I see what people mean about the gore in the beginning, but where this was a very dark comedy, I didn't mind very much or consider it entirely unnecessary. It was a pretty good set up to get us introduced to the main character, honestly, and set up exactly what the world is like after the zombie apocalypse.

I randomly feel like I seriously need to write some HBC fic today. I've been neglecting Valyn terribly, and at this point he's nothing but a shiny ball of angry jealousy. Silly Valyn, you haven't been replaced. You'll never be replaced! I just keep adding to my ever-growing stable of pretty, blond, young noble heir-types with emotional problems, daddy issues and an inability to deal with women normally.

...that is such an insanely specific type. O.o

THEY ARE! And they're both tall, slim, trained in both magic and sword, with long pretty blond hair and extremely aristocratic features.

Hahahaha, that is always a good way to cheer Valyn up!

Shana says the thought of Valyn having a twin out there somewhere is rather terrifying.

And she agrees. And says she'll try not to turn into a shiny ball of angry jealousy to take his place. ;)

It kind of is. But he totally has an inter-dimensional twin! (And the whole thing is terribly ironic, since Valyn's canonically a twin!)

Valyn says she can come, too. He's very depressed and needs lots of cheering up.

Yes but his twin is sadly FML. XD

Shana says Ooooh, threesome? She's all in on that!

That's because Valyn got all the good genes. There wasn't anything decent left over for poor Ardeyn. All he got was an epic love of boobies.

Valyn says yes, that sounds like just what he needs. Preferably a few rounds.

Shana suggests celebrating Fey's birthday with sex. one round for every year she's been alive, hahaha. ;)

[identity profile] cross-the-sky.livejournal.com 2010-04-12 11:13 pm (UTC)(link)
That's...a lot of rounds! Valyn's not sure he could survive that much!

[identity profile] chaneystarr.livejournal.com 2010-04-12 11:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Shana says oh, she's sure he could. XD

[identity profile] cross-the-sky.livejournal.com 2010-04-12 11:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Valyn would like to know just how much stamina Shana thinks he has! He's more than happy to try, of course, but he'd hate for Shana to find herself let down.

Shana says between Valyn and Shadow, being let down is the last thing she anticipates being. She has faith in them. ;)

Valyn says perhaps he should take a quick detour to the library to refresh his memory on potency spells. :D

[identity profile] chaneystarr.livejournal.com 2010-04-12 11:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Shana looks intrigued and says ooooh, they HAVE those? We could go for a dozen MORE then! :O

Valyn says he assumes so, since he had to end up a twin somehow, and it sure didn't happen naturally. There's bound to be magic to...increase virility. Or something along those lines. It simply wouldn't hurt to look into it, at least.

Shana glees and says she'll help him search. XD

Valyn says that if that's the case, he doesn't imagine they'll ever make it out of the library!

She says they can take advantage of all the surfaces there? ;)
