thistlechaserFunny when you forget about something, then encounter it again and it hits you hard.
For around a year I ran a storyline for a PC on the MUSH. (Tommy, mentioned many days ago, was a character in it.) The whole plot was fueled by this ep of Six Feet Under. The main character in my plot was named after the dead guy in tonight's Six Feet Under, Jesse. Much of the feeling of my-Jesse's gang came from the way the gang acted in this ep. They're gone and now I'm watching the ep -- it's almost creepy and it's more than almost sad.
It was hard running a plot for that long; we RPed a good 5+ hours every day, sometimes 10+ a day. We almost never missed a day. Imagine that for a year, the same set of NPCs and a PC. They became very, very real characters. Kinda odd to now see what almost seems a part of them on TV. It's also sad that we weren't able to play some of the last scenes I had intended; Six Feet Under was all about the funeral the bikers had. I had intended for us to have one (a number of the NPCs ended up dead), but I burnt out before we got to that.
Sigh. I feel guilty about it, but not even just to the PC involved. I feel like I let Jesse's gang down. So silly, feeling bad about NPCs. I seem to do that a lot...

Jesse's Gang
Date: 2002-11-03 08:50 am (UTC)The RP was intense, and we covered a hell of a lot of extremely difficult, dangerous subjects - and even now, two months and more later, I can still find myself in tears when I think about them. I'm not surprised you burned out. We both did. I just bounced back faster.
Relax and enjoy yourself while I'm away on holiday. I'm still finishing recovering from my burnout, I'll be doing just the same. Standard thingy applies when I get back - if you want to RP with me and I'm around, just yell - or we can go inflict ourselves on other people, seperately or together. I've some NPCs to run for you and a few evil ideas tucked away for if/when you want them...
