cattitude -- Are you going back? Are you considering joining?
I haven't been back ... well, it's just the next morning. I have no particular plans of going back, nor any great plans for not going back.
I suppose I should be more cold and calculating about this. Very well, let me calculate.
The club is for adventurers. I am not quite sure whether or not I am truly an adventurer. I mean, I can be a transaffectionate or an adventurer, and my ~mother~ probably won't bite my left ear off, but if I do both? In the same year, yet?
More likely, I am in denial. Still, it's been plenty of work to get used to being traff this year. I do not want to do the same work about adventuring until much later!
More practicalities: the advantages of the club are thus:
Advantage | How That Applies For Me | Cold Calculational Score |
Social Contacts in the adventuring life | Well, I'm not particularly looking for help at adventuring, and I've got plenty of advice thrown at me in my "Sorcery in a Present Time" class. I suppose that it might, at some point, be vital for me to go find someone who can spellweave something to cure my tail being turned into a miniature model of a fern bar in the middle of the night without asking any questions. The club is good for that. | +1 |
Lending adventuring equipment | It's all sized and shaped for people much more bipedal than I am. And much larger. Except for a very nice set of lockpicks which I could use. Well, I could use them if I had a single clue about how to pick locks. | -3 |
Finding adventuring jobs | I do not need adventuring jobs! I have more than I want! | -3 |
Finding adventuring companions | My adventures don't currently require companions. Except that stupid one with about the doilies. I suppose I might need more companions later. I think I'm more likely to be acquired as a companion for someone else's purposes. I rather want to keep that to a minimum. | -1 |
Adequate food | I can get better food at better restaurants closer to home. | -1 |
So, coldly and calculatingly, it doesn't look terribly promising for joining the club.
Which means, I probably will do it if a sufficiently nice Orren asks me.
