missizzyI think most federal employees are currently at least somewhat surprised that we actually got Juneteenth off. I know I spent much of yesterday waiting for Trump to issue the order cancelling it at the last minute, just to be extra spiteful. But I even got out 59 minutes early yesterday. Which was in fact a little awkward, since I had my first session for the D&D group I've newly managed to join at 6/6:30 in the Board Room, so I ultimately spent an extra hour walking around Clarendon, buying a new pill container and dental floss, and trying not to get rained on too much, before eating at the pizza joint that's has once again become my go-to place for such evenings, and thankfully the rain finally stopped before I went to the Board Room from there.
I wasn't sure going in whether I was going to retrieve my unused bard character or underused wild magic sorcerer character from my newly reaccessed D&D Beyond account, but the latter worked better with the campaign setting. I am now playing a version of Tara IsDrarren, a girl I originally created to come home from school and have an adventure in her native fishing village, that apparently never went home, and probably is not aware of her village's having been destroyed years ago. She doesn't even seem to be aware that the hareton she's currently traveling with (who survived said destruction) is also from that village. I've also made her about ten years older and currently thinking she wants to be a great hero, but I already suspect that dream's going to crash, and crash hard.
So far, I'm actually liking the dynamic at our table. We've already had a bit more inter-character roleplay than my last in-person group went for. There hasn't been too much chaos yet, but I'm sure that's coming in time. Mine's not the only character at that table crafted to stir it.
