. . . there was a bathroom at the Haven.
I went there last night to hang out, and stayed until closing time, playing Vampire: The Masquerade. That was fun, even though I was kind of clueless. The last time (which was also the first time) I'd played was back in high school, when Kelly E. and Chris M. invited me over to Kelly's house to join their game. We got through character creation and half of a session before my dad called and said it was time for me to go home. So I really didn't have much experience with the game last night.
One of the other players has been playing the game for years and years though, so she helped me some by making her character ask my character for help contacting the primogen.
I had "purchased" a snack with my Haven store credit around 7:30 or 8, because I was starting to get a bit woozy. By 8:30, I seriously had to pee. Earlier in the day, I had been talking to one of my co-workers who is also a member at the Haven, and he told me that there was no bathroom, to which I replied that I usually didn't have a problem with that.
It seems I jinxed myself. By closing time (10pm) I could barely hold it. I walked the three blocks back to my car as steadily yet quickly as I dared, drove home as quick as I could safely, then got inside, only to find that the toilet in the half-bath wasn't working properly (the flusher wasn't flushing--I'll have to see if I can fix that when I get home today). So I went up to my bathroom on the third floor.
After that was taken care of, I surfed the 'net for an hour or so, looking for blank character sheets to copy my character information on. I found the first page in a PDF, plus two different character generators for keeping track on a computer while playing. I also looked up the core rulebook online, and found new & used copies at Amazon for $7-10 plus shipping. I might get a copy later, and that will definitely help me be less clueless while playing.
Tonight is lab night for my astronomy class, so I probably will be home by 9pm at the latest--labs are easy.

I've always wanted to play Vampire, ever since I found out the short lived television series "Kindred: The Embraced" was based on Vampire: The Masquerade. Nifty.
ReplyDeleteAnd I think it's rather odd they don't have a bathroom. How can you not have a bathroom? Isn't it sort of a necessary thing when you create a place where people gather and consume massive amounts of caffeinated beverages?
On second thought, maybe they save themselves on the cleaning bill by not having one.
The place isn't that big--just three rooms and a courtyard. The main room is only about the size of my parents' living room and dining room together.
