Norwescon Sunday

[elfs]

Well, Norwescon day three has come and gone already. I never did get to see what Alexander James Adams looks like. That's okay. I performed the Ritual of Coffee, and then we all went over to the hotel for the buffet. Omaha took Kouryou-chan to the egg hunt while I went to the panel "Characters are People Too," where we went over all the ways that you can accessorize your character to make them seem more human. Things like tics, habits, different personalities in different roles, different drives, what a character pays attention to, so forth. That was a really good panel.

I found Omaha down in the Amateur Medievalist Group room. She was relaxing with a book while Kouryou-chan and another child shot padded arrows at hobbits. I took a few practice shots myself: I shot Sam in the head, Merry took one right in the crotch and Frodo took a leg wound so he won't be gettin' far, muahahahahah.

Omaha then took Kouryou-chan to some kid-friendly thing while I went to "Maintaining a Long Running Series," which wasn't as useful as it sounds: it was really a "buy our books, please" panel by Mike Sheperd and someone whose name I can't now remember.

We left after that, drained, disconnected. It's been a crappy weekend. We need some better luck.

Seemed to me that you found some good things to experience while you were there. I know that overall you seemed to have a horrible time, but at least you'll have some good memories from the whole experience.

Or I'm wrong, but I've been told lately that I am entirely too optimistic.

*grins* He has a mullet. And biceps. And some very nice pecs and abs, too, come to think of it ...

I'm not sure about the mullet. But I can forgive it, because otherwise? Hott.

I understand tics, kinda. I have no idea what causes them, though.

I didn't think of the "different personalities in different roles" concept. Clearly I must ponder this further.

Care to say something about drives and what they refer to? Are they like overwhelming goals, or fetishes? Can a single person have more than one?
