I received a jury summons once, about twenty years ago.  I went downtown into a room full of people because that's just how we were doing stuff back then!  I felt their hot breath on my neck.  Well, not really.  But I have a lot of memories of things like that, onces I have to pause in the middle and be like, "that's what was normal most of the time."

Dreams are a weird place to have these realizations too.  At some point, I'll be like, fuck!  My mask!  Where is my mask.  This typically clues me in to the fact that I'm dreaming, and once I know that, I can basically do whatever I want in a dream - but the weirdest thing is that it never occurs to me to just not have any COVID.  The first instinct is to manufacture a mask.

Anyway, I went downtown and answered their questions and however I answered them must have been bad because they didn't call me back.  The same thing happened to Brenna!  There is something about us that keeps us from being rich, pure jury material.  I suspect that Mike won't get called back either.  I was the most reasonable version of myself possible during their interrogation.  No way they don't perceive the starveling black tendrils that reach out from him in all directions.

Hey!  I hope you're enjoying the adventures of Dr. Francesca Void in the Mage game we have put together for you!  I love everybody at the table, but I never get to play with Kiko in games like this so that really stands out to me.  Also, I guess I've never actually tried to model anything close to my own bewilderment at social interactions, so that's kind of fun also.  Mage was the first RPG I ever played with Mike, and it would be something like ten years before I was able to pull him into D&D.  You probably know that part of the story.

It's a me,
