iFlu

[thessalian]

Still half-dead from flu. I am surviving predominantly on Imperial Spice tea (thank you, tithenai) and stubbornness. This is not your average flu bug - I never had vomiting with the flu before. I could take the rest of it, but this ... not so much. I absolutely have to be into work on Friday to tidy things up before my boss returns from two weeks working in her GP practice, so dear gods I hope I'm feeling better by then. The throat's shown some improvement, anyway. Now I just can't breathe through my nose and nausea has me. I have had tea and meds, so I'm thinking back to bed for a few hours and see how I feel.

I may try to set up iMisc so I do not have to sit in the study chair to surf and chat and stuff. But it partly depends, I think, on whether I decide Sims 2 might distract me from the misery. It's good and mindless, at least. And I have a commoner's freehold to design, as well as some thinking/planning to do with Islington on JusNoctis. Apparently, with the old head ST gone, we're supposed to 'make the game our own', and since it's not really feasible to have a bunch of Redcaps just clear out of an area after they've made a stand, I have to think of something scarier to put in their place. I think I have an idea or two, but ... it's going to be interesting. I may have to save my first plot idea for when I'm not about to throw this kind of crap at players. It wouldn't be a worry if the new Pooka didn't want to go explore Islington after being repeatedly told not to by one of the local knights...

Anyway. I will now take to bed with various sourcebooks and see how I feel later. Whee.

"It wouldn't be a worry if the new Pooka didn't want to go explore Islington after being repeatedly told not to by one of the local knights..."

That reminds me - how friendly is Jus Noctis towards new players? I'm kind of jonesing for online roleplaying at the moment, you see, and.. ummm..

Well, depends on the players. Most of them are really great and would make you feel more than welcome. There are ... exceptions, but if you ignore them, or complain to STs or the Admin about them, generally you will be well-defended. (Case in point: R) In short, I think it's safe to say that you would get a warm welcome, particularly if you chose to play a Seelie Pooka, as Unseelie seems to get all the attention from the Pooka players at the moment. Or an Eshu. We're low on Eshu. And Trolls. And Boggans. But at least we've capped Sidhe...

Knowing me, it'd be likely that I'd play (a) a Seelike and (b) a Pooka. I'll spend the next day or two puzzling out the finer details though.
