I'm there, obviously, and so is Wellsie. I'm not telling you our Castle Marrach names, though. I told Karen because she's one of the writers and she invited me there, but the rest of you can just guess if you are up for it. Of course, if you were ever on the Sprawl you'd have an unfair advantage because that's where I developed the name I'm using at the Castle.

I just love this game so far because it's all intrigue and theater instead of fighting and acquisition. I have never stuck around an RPG for long, strongly preferring to be myself online as well as off, but this looks like it could be really fun. I wonder if I've overcome my reluctance to play at being someone else? In the past I've gotten terribly upset when I've discovered the players I was interacting with were acting parts instead of being themselves. I loath being fooled. I don't like finding out "Gina Delacour" is really Donald Fnord of Rearend, Idaho. It just ruins everything. But that's not the way it works in virtual reality. In fact, it's one of the liberating aspects of online interactions. You can be anyone at all and no one has to know the truth.

Which is why at Castle Marrach I am tall and slim. Vanity, thy name is Lucy.
