Roleplaying last night was very dramatic and lots of fun. Afterwards, I had this refrain running in my head: "We got her back!" and Mash would counterpoint to that: "And I didn't get shot." The final scene from last night went roughly as follows:

CHARACTERS:

DOMINICI: A youth
ESMERELDA: A young woman
INES: A young lady
ISTHIAN: A lady
SEBASTIAN: A gentleman

SCENE: A carriage is standing at a fork in the road. DOMINICI is sitting on top of it. Galloping up to it is ISTHIAN, with a wounded SEBASTIAN in front of her, and INES, with ESMERELDA, leading two other horses.

IST: We got her back!
DOM: Is everyone all right?
ESME: I didn’t get shot.
IST: Sebastian is wounded. Everyone else is fine.
SEB: groans
IST: Help me get him into the carriage.

DOMINICI helps SEBASTIAN into the carriage

ESME: We need to return the horses.
IST: Are you capable of returning all of them, Dominici?
DOM: Uh. I don’t think so. Sorry, milady.
INES: I could return them.
ALL (but SEB and INES): NO!
INES: I only wanted to help.
IST: You’ll forgive me if I do not wish to let you go off on your own just yet.
ESME: You’ll have to go, Isthian. I have a spare set of clothes you could change into. They might be a bit tight, but they’ll pass muster.
IST: And these are all over blood. Very well. Dominici and I will return the horses. We’ll meet the carriage at the coaching inn.

EXEUNT ISTHIAN

Played Ultimate Frisbee this evening, and was taken out by friendly fire. The frisbee hit the right lens of my glasses (I think), and smashed either the frames or the frisbee or both into my face. I'm getting a nicely dramatic black eye already. I've put ice on it, and arnica, so I'll see how it looks tomorrow morning. My glasses are knocked out of alignment, making it hard to see even with them on, so they're off, and I'm dealing with the headache. I took advantage of the nifty camera feature on my phone, and the bluetooth device, so a picture is available.
