Maelstrom preparations

[smokingboot]

I am almost ready, i.e, wig is rolled up on itself, derringers are waiting for me on site and kit is in a neat pile beside the case.

People are saying Maelstrom is the best LARP system out there. I am astonished at the reviews it's got. Oh strange sad irony that a system packed with excellent chums, merchant ivory costumes, player-led plot, real money and a visible lack of bloatyhead disease comes at a time when I have no energy to appreciate it. My own only occasionally bloaty head is full of insomnia, work, writing, plans I should be making and Scotland (told you I wasn't getting over it).

I know what will happen. I will hate the journey and get less and less enthusiastic until I am in costume. For the first night I will wander round haplessly trying to find the craich and understanding nothing. Then I will stop trying to understand and just enjoy it.

I suppose I ought to read the system next. Groo.

You "ought" to lie down someplace relaxed and get a certain chap to drop soft kisses over your forehead, eyelids and shoulders.

Sez I, and of course I know everything me.

You do! You do!

...And frankly, it is a great plan:-)

Which leads me to thinking, mostly mischevious thoughts featuring yourself and, in this case trailing our toes in the stream, talking nonsense and watching the willow leaves fall.

It seems you are away this weekend, apalling timing as ever since we are in Manchester this weekend.

Love and Kisses

Well, poo de bleugh

What rotten luck!

Look forward to seeing you both sometime soon...
