egypturnashOn our way to the toy store, we passed the massive pile of ostentatious stone and spikes that is the Boston Public Library. Now, when I visited last July, I learned that this building was the inspiration for Puzzlebox's library in Strangewarp. We joked about kissing in front of it again, little realizing what was about to happen: the Library lured us in with an innocent sign for a book sale.
Rik wanted to check it out, so we went in. The library is large and ostentatious - it's full of dark murals and marble columns. Kin decided to give me a bit of a tour. After looking around the reading room, we got a little lost, and that's when things got strange: I had a better grasp of where we were, after a little wandering around, and took the lead in trying to find where the book sale was. We started making a few jokey references to the metaphorical dimension of this... and I started slipping a little into character. As Inhatti, the noisily self-destructive salamander, one of the more coherent aspects of my horrible bloodplay character on Puzzlebox.
It was playful at first, but it started to feel somehow serious, and rather like a Bad Idea: it was hard to get out of character, while we were still in the library. Even when Kincaid started trying to hurt her by deliberately misfiling books.
Ultimately we went out, and I was reminded that I am now a much happier person, who gets to be bouncy and beloved, and I'm glad for this. Still, it might be a while before I go into the Boston library again.
PS: Mirrormask, 4:50 tomorrow.

Date: 2005-10-02 02:48 am (UTC)I'm getting used to being loved, but it still feels weird now and then. And a role runs away with me sometimes. Ultimately, I went back to being a bouncy raccoon again, in the layer of silly roleplay that's fairly constant in this relationship. It felt good.
