The sky is a really bright shade of gray today and it silhouettes the blackbirds perfectly. You can just see your breath, and everything looks still and heavy. This is the kind of day you take hours to wake up for, and where it's possible not to say anything and still be relatively upbeat. I love days like this. Needless to say, I'm in a better mood.
While my mood has changed, my resolve has not, and I still plan on carrying out what I said I would in anger. My frustration is still there, and I'm fairly sure most people don't see the situation in quite the same way I do.
This is not a bad thing. It's simply a difference in perspective and opinion. I'm not sure I'm completely in the right here, but that doesn't matter at this point; I do believe it's time to move on.
Despite what it looks like, yesterday was a pretty good day. Ran Changeling with Lazarus, where not much at all happened. Still, I managed to get the characterization of a few folks down and bonds between "Justin" and his friends were strengthened in the downtime, if only a little bit. Now that my Sunday Changeling game is toast, I can focus a lot more on this one for a little while, and bring Eliahn back into the swing of things.
On a slightly unrelated note, I really love it when my players develop names and theories for things. :) Lazarus tends to call Justin's 'arch-nemesis' Mister Mestopheles, which fits much more than what I've been calling him (The Cat). Not only does the name bring to mind images Satanic and evil, it's also a reference to T.S. Eliot's poem, which is about as whimsical as you get. Good call.
