Some sketches of the three characters that have joined aegbalk. From left; Captain "Bloody Scarlet" Brown, played by me, Serafiem Appius, played by my good friend dea_kun, and Shanielli T'lis, played by rudiichuu.

And a quick note to those in/interested in the game; I'm going to go ahead and start it sometime this afternoon. Hopefully some activity will encourage others to join.

So, I'm back from my sister's graduation. The ceremony itself was nice - her college is just about twenty miles from Four Corners, and was originally opened for the Navajo res, so its got a huge diversity of students. At the ceremony, half the students had eagle feathers instead of tassels, and one guy had a coyote skin and a blanket instead of the black cap and gown. The food we had at my sister's party was good, and her friends were rather cool.

There was a downside, of course. My sister is manic depressive - a trait she inherited from my mother's side of the family. (I just got acute anxiety) She'd been procrastinating on finding a place to live for the summer, and her lease ended today. She was worried about needing grad school. And, of course, she'd been drinking pretty heavily the past few weeks. There was a lot of shouting, and a lot of crying. I just tried to stay out of that mess. (She has got a place to stay now, though. A woman in town was renting out rooms and my sister got one.)

But more on the plus side, I got some cool stuff down there. Three hats - an indie/punk black one with a white rose painted on the side, a gray and red plaid one, and a tweed paper boy hat (sis gave me the last one). I also got a very nice burgundy corduroy and wool jacket from my sis. And in the local bookstore, I got a copy of Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere. (Both the novel AND the comic. JOY)

I'm doing pretty good, now. I need to go look for a job, and maybe get DQ ice cream. And start that rp, of course.
