Art imitates life...

And in a record, two characters from our game were disabled before they could even be sent on their first mission, as their plane was struck by lightning (and the wrath of Nyarlohotep, the Crawling Chaos), to plummet to the ground in a spectacular crash that was, actually, the result of random dice rolls. Both characters barely survived. It sucks to piss off a Dark God, but hey, that's what Guardians of the Light tend to do.

Meanwhile, another character fought the Colour Out of Space and managed to shred it at great cost to herself--her statistics now have heavy minuses, ranging from Strength and Constitution to her very appearance, as it dessicated and tried to simulataneously burn and freeze her.

You just have to love Call of Cthulhu.

Anyway, the game master has to be happy; three different characters--one for each player, actually, disabled in one game. And I very much think he killed off an non-player character on the ground during the plane crash. He's crafty that way.

Other than the game I haven't really had much of a holiday...I worked most of Saturday and then got called in for an hour or so Sunday when no one else showed up. Today I'm pulling part of a shift for one of those someone's, who is now no longer working at the gas station. Tomorrow, between both jobs, I'm working 11 hours. Gah.

Well, that's all for now. Hope you are having a better holiday, for those folks in the US, and for everyone else, I wish you a good day.
