Hey everybody. First of all, I've got Lazarus. Can't complain so far and it's nice to not have to worry, so thanks for the tip Dariush. I've got about half of the racial turn done today and managed to make some pretty decent archival notes yesterday, but I just received some great family news. My brother is getting married! Silly schmuck had the whole proposal mapped out, whole giant romantic setup for the end of him and his soon to be wife's holiday visit to London, was carrying the ring around for days in his pocket beforehand when he suddenly cracked, got down on one knee in the street and asked her (needless to say, she said yes). Anyway, that's putting a bit of a dampener on me finishing the racial turn today, as I'm heading out to do family type things now (it's early evening and I have a feeling that I'll be drunk before midnight
). Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, for all those of you who have abandoned or never excepted the Gregorian Calender. That's either going to mean I stay in, filled with hate at the overly commercial celebration of the arbitrarily defined end of one year (for fuck's sake, why can we do it on the Winter Solstice like sensible people?) and get out the racial and next main turn, or someone I know is actually having a party. The second isn't that likely, as for some reason just at the age where everybody is starting to get their own places no one seems to want to host festivities. Still, we'll see.
Also, how do we get aligned with a sphere? Just by using it a lot?
Basically. It helps a little if you created that Sphere/thing that defines that sphere. You can also get them as an unintended consequence (Xantalos gaining violence springs to mind).
