Roleplaying.
Last night was the hardest, most emotional roleplaying experience I have ever endured.
In the face of two incredibly Earth-destroying events, one of which had already begun taking effect and one that was about to, Candy took the power of an elder God into her body and made her stepbrother kill her.
I've had player characters die before, but never in such an affecting way. Not with my stepfather shouting "No!" and my mother running to stop me, screaming her head off and her step-brother holding her and crying because he didn't want to hurt her. Morgue said I could still talk so I told him "Do it. Save the world, Zak." and he did, and afterwards Scott and I were both crying and he was shaking and everyone else was completely stunned and man.
I'm glad I trust this group so much, even if I was a bit embarrassed about crying in front of them. There is just so much love and support, and once I/Candy realised that the only chance the world had was if I did the ultimate Heroic Sacrifice thing, just like Buffy.
I'll probably write more about this whole episode, but not right now.
