Flashpoint
Mar. 7th, 2003 09:20 amI'm still a little sleepy, due to staying up a wee bit late last night roleplaying, but not having the late shift today. But it was so worth it. The caffeine in Diet Coke will sustain me til I get home, post-gaming tonight.
And that is what I've been waiting for all week. Excitement and trepidation all rolled into one. SO, I'm going to try the short-form of the story. Local gaming club. On the first week of the month, Eric runs a game. Now, it's Shadowrun, but it's anime-based. The more light-hearted anime, even if it technically takes place in the SHadowrun world. We bend a lot of rules and such, so long as it fits in the theme and doesn't overbalance the campaign. Eric runs lighthearted games. We need more of those. I like it.
And, there's an almost-certain chance my PC in that game is going to be outted from the closet tonight in the course of events. (Involves a kissing booth and a campus Winter Carnival while the PCs try to stop Dark Elves from summoning an Elder Gawd.) Now, Eric knows about my character, because I told him. He's one of the few people there I can trust with stuff like that, since he's not judgemental.
Of course, outing my character means I'm more than likely going to get outed, big time. Some of the people there know, and I bet some might suspect, but most don't. And yeah, I'm a wee bit nervous
At the same time, I'm fucking tired of hiding. I really am. Someone doesn't like it, they can fuck off.
Of course...the scenario can turn one of three ways:
1) SOmeone says 'Hey, so am I!' I don't think this will happen, but there was a new guy there last week I thought was way, way cute. Apparently works at a bank, around my own age, and likes comics, but there's that 'is he or isn't he' thing, all over again. This might eliminate that, but not with the result I'd like to happen.
2) SOmeone gets really upset over this, and starts fighting with me, or putting me down, or tries to kill me or something. Okay...I doubt anyone will try to kill me, but I can see one or two of them going hyper-religious. Good. I can deal with that.
3) "Oh, you are, Kyle? It's okay. Doesn't change anything." This is the most likely thing to happen: No reaction, and it won't change anything. And you know...I'd rather someone try and kick my ass instead of this happening. I need something to change. I need...I dunno, something. I want this to mean something...
But, anyway, even if cute guy doesn't notice it happening, I'll tell you all what happened when I get home tonight. Later.
