I got an e-mail from the barrista/office admin job, so I'll give 'em a call tomorrow morning and set up my interview appointment. The first one was phone-based, so this is basically my second/in-person one. As long as I do well, things are promising. I'd really like this position, since it looks like a real, honest living wage, which is something that I'd punt a baby to get. Anyhow.
I put together the Gristlegrinder that'd been floating around in my head for a while, and have no idea if I plan on using him or not. A character really sort of came together for him, and a combination of Merits and Skills really set him up for me mechanically. Contracts were straight-forward. Stone 3, Fleeting Court or Hearth 2. Hearth for general purpose, Fleeting for Glamor. I did a mechanical experiment for Wintermute the Manikin, but I tend to keep in mind that Artifice is really not a high priority for that character, and remembered seeing a Metal or Steelskin thing somewhere, even though I'm not really sure. In any case, Artifice is kind of in character, so I'm not sweating that.
Truth is Wintermute is a 'broken' character compared to the more attempt-at-self-realization kind of guy the red cap I was thinking of. The Manikin is a device who'd rediscover parts of its humanity. The red cap is someone who'd be running away from it at the start. So. But I think it'd work. The shut-in? Honestly, I stopped trying. That was never really fully realized and I just want to play other concepts way more.
Outlining some more Mage stuff today just because it was a slow day. How hard to other people work on one-shots? I really don't know. I did a short list of bios for characters that were referenced in my prep material. So far there are eight people, without the lists of some of the 1917 murder victims, abyssal spirits, and the original architect of the house. This is stuff that'd never be found out by players without severe tangents. I think I'll hand out the info like DVDs have extras. Want to know who that hanging spirit was? Well, now you know! Really, I'm just doing this shit for fun now, though. Brent and Frank already gave my prep write a thumbs up, so I'm not as gun shy as I was. The new stuff is a lot better, so the old stuff might actually go through a re-write process. I'm such a nerd. ^_^;
