I have been encouraged to continue inventing words. Just see if you can stop me now!!
Heh.
Roleplaying last night was good, although it left me feeling sort of dissatisfied, at the time I thought it was because my character was a screen presence of only one and therefore didn't have any major developments. After thinking about it some more I actually think it's because not very much time in game had passed. The Jo part of the story probably took about 20 minutes "real time" and although the others were stopping angered slayers from storming a building and escaping madness to become super-demonic...those things would have only taken about twenty minutes.
I don't know why this is an issue either, although I think of Buffy episodes as covering at least a day in most cases and sometimes several days. Maybe I felt we weren't being very true to genre?
Steve pointed out that I didn't get the conflicted emotions interactions that I normally do, so that probably compounded it. (Although dude, if I don't get fucked up relationship stress I feel disappointed??? Way to roleplay healthily, Jenni!)
On the positive side of things (and my own random reaction aside) there were some truly amazing moments in game last night. The one that sticks with me, and probably always will is the invisible girl moving through a huge skyscraper full of bezerker slayers trashing everything and everyone they meet, smoke is everywhere and that's how we can see the invisible girl. The song Mad World is the only sound over the chaos.
Seraph's description of his slayer Charlotte becoming demonic was quite frightening and the image of her loping with giant mystical claws over the roofs of London is truly chilling.
We also had some hilariously terrifying boyfriend/girlfriend stuff with Jo kidnapped by an evil version of the empath demon and the evil double of Svend's Rebecca kidnapping Jo's boyfriend Randall. She made him listen to Celine Dion! She stole my $800 leather pants! So evil.
