So, Not Ready...

...let's go through the list of what I have neglected to get my ass sufficiently in gear to come up with in time for Winter In The Willows this weekend:

The business trademark, a group-specific coded language, campfire stories, blood, baked goods, more than 100 words of bio, impact strategy, sense of purpose, half the sheathes for my daggers, working knowledge of the rules, membership of the LJ community (which now seems a little pointless), the song I started writing, the poem I started writing, the stories I started writing, trinkets for trading, an alchemy kit, a teapot, a tea caddy, tent dressing, IC writing material, glasses, sunglasses, and the remote belief that I will achieve more than making an abject nuisance of myself and getting myself killed in the first five minutes.

When put up against the list of things I have managed to do, I think it's fair to say I might be a tad underprepared.

This feels like the Maelstrom affair all over again, the only difference being that this time I'm well aware how epically I'm going to fail.

Unsurprisingly, since we have both Malevolence and Calamity kit, we have tons of fake blood in the house. I can put it in with the rest of my kit if you like (and remind me tomorrow.)
My knowledge of the rules is shaky as I learn by doing and I was going to improv any stories because I like testing my ability to think on my feet.

BTW, don't forget you're going to lend me a tent.

I remember I owe you a tent. It will be in the car so you can check it's there, and possibly a little fake blood wouldn't go amiss.

And thank you.

I should have got the more IC bits of my charcater sorted by now, so many thanks, but if I have people doing hand-outs left and right, I'll never sort myself out.

Sorry you can't make it - next time, hopefully?

I can add teapot and tea caddy to my shopping list in town if you'd like? I'm heading in after badminton. Also, I think we're all bringing baked goods, so I'm sure it's not the end of the world if you don't! I'm also making trinkets for trade, which I'm guessing I won't be using - so you can have mine!

A teapot is useless without some method of heating it - besides, I know which pot and caddy I want, I just haven't had the time to prepare to use them. Many thanks, but no need.

Fair enough :)

As I said in my text, I have a burner you're welcome to use if you bring charcoal - it has solid fuel, but charcoal would look better.

Also, the difference between this and 'Strom is that this time there's a whole bunch of us going, and we can back each other up. It'll go fine, you'll see.

Could trinkets for trading include rough gemstones? Cause I've got a bunch that I will never get round to polishing, which you are welcome to have. Could send them with Caroline.

I hadn't even considered half the stuff above...
