eveglassSo tonight was character creation for a French live-action game I'll be joining. There were about 10 of us in Yan's living room, and I was (I believe) the only anglophone. Most of the people there spoke quite decent English, decidedly better than my French, but most of the night was, in fact, spent speaking French. I needed to switch to English occasionally, but I'm hoping that this game will give me some good practice in la belle langue. At the very least, it'll definitely help my comprehension. I was able to keep up with most of it, anyway, and this fact pleases me.
Of course, all bets are off once the game actually starts and people start speaking in affected accents and voices (and often whispers).
Oh, and for the record, my character is based on a real historical personage, the granddaughter-in-law of Benjamin Franklin. (The game is set in 1807.) My character's name is, I kid you not, Margaret Hartman Markoe Bache Duane. How awesome is that?
