Beware of the Teacher Stare

[first_in_time]

Mundane,


I can see you looking, you know. I am perfectly aware of the amount of time you have at this moment but it won't last. You and I both know that, so what would be the point in joining a new game?


Oh, for heavens' sake. Stop being so childish.


It's still a new game and all of that CR building takes time. That won't change in any new game you decide to join. Besides, you're doing perfectly fine and it's only you who thinks otherwise. What other people do or don't decide to do is not a reflection on you as a Mundane player. Remember that.


Please, just think very carefully before you burn out again.




Regards,


B. Wright

You always were exceedingly sensible.

[first_in_time]

I do try, however Mundanes tend to not listen to sensible advice. I'm hoping it will work just this once.

[bonnypiperlad]

Aye, well, since when do they ever listen to us anyway? Even if ye make all the sense in the world, it'll not change their minds once they're set on something.

[first_in_time]

I am hoping for a change. Just this once!

It is good to see you again, Jamie.

[bonnypiperlad]

Aye, maybe you'll be lucky. But if your mun is anything like mine, the next thing ye know you'll be running around someplace new and trying to figure out how ye got there.

Although I'll not say this place is so bad. It's good to see ye again as well, Barbara. Is Ian planning on going with ye if ye do go?

[first_in_time]

At least new friends will be made soone enough, I suppose. Which will be important if Ian doesn't come. I don't know if he will, my Mundane hasn't contacted his yet because she hasn't settled on a new game.

[bonnypiperlad]

I suppose that's true, although I'd not worry so much about making friends if I were ye. You'll not have any problems there. What sorts of places are ye looking at?

[first_in_time]

She was looking at something entirely different to Winter, or Guardian or even T9, but she's unsure that I'll go. Which is a relief, frankly. Having to re-explain my story half a dozen times is growing rather tiresome, but that doesn't necessarily solve the problem of too many games and not enough time once classes start again.

Where does your Mun have you?

[bonnypiperlad]

Mine thinks it works if you've got games that are a wee bit slower or let ye do that back-taggy stuff, whatever that's supposed to be.

One of the places she's got me in is due to close soon, but there's the Plane or that haunted house she's got me at, the one with some French name. I'd not recommend the latter, personally, even though she seems to think it's grand. It's not a very nice place. The Plane's not so bad, though, and Victoria's there with me.

[first_in_time]

'Back-tagging' is pretty much the only thing we do, not that I mind - and neither does she, for that matter.

Oh! You've got Victoria. How lovely. It's a shame that one of your games is finishing. Much like Transmigration and its unfortunate end. Not to worry, for it sounds like you're quite busy anyway.

[bonnypiperlad]

'Back-tagging', aye, that's it.

I'd not fret too much over the one game if I were ye. It was always supposed to end at a specific time, so it's not as though I'd not expected it. Now, that's not to say I'll not miss the people there, but the other places will keep me busy enough.

I'll say as I'd not mind seeing ye somewhere again, even if we'd have go through that whole story thing all over again...that is, if you're not able to talk your mun out of taking ye somewhere new. If you'd like, though, I can give ye the information so ye can take a better look?

[first_in_time]

I think that would be very nice, thank you, Jamie.

[bonnypiperlad]

Well, then, let's see...the Plane would be realityshifted and that house would be maisondeportes. Ian'd be welcome too, if either place suits ye.
