·•¤ What is YOUR element? ¤•·

Iffn you say so...

It's been a very long day. My energy levels are about as low as I can ever remember them, and when coupled with the soaring pain levels it means that Ellie's not getting diddly/squat done today. *soft sigh* Truth is, I hurt so badly that even typing requires focus and effort... and as such, this won't be a heroically long entry.

I did stumble across something interesting last night. I've already shared it with Rowan, but there're some other gamer-geeks amongst my friends: D6 Role-playing in the World of Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere.

Laundry's running. When it's done, I'm going to lay down on the sofa for a bit, I think. Maybe totter back to my bed, so Megan can poke me iffn she needs me.

*hugs*

The ideas behind Neverwhere make a great RPG - but I fear the number of people who'll try to recreate London Below without having ever actually been to London.

Many American cities are too new to have much of a 'below', I think... I could very much imagine an Edinburgh Below.

I was actually talking about this with

ringzero after he read Neverwhere. He couldn't find any reason why something like London Below couldn't exist... and he's a science geek...

Agreed; most of the real -cities- here in the US are nowhere near old enough for a 'below' to exist as it does in London. Washington DC, for instance, is built on a -swamp-.

But there are still areas that take the place of the 'below'... I've lived and worked and played in some of them, being one of the 'Twixt that are mentioned. Because of my ample-even-for-a-technical-mundane mechanical skills, I manage to at least give the appearance of living a normal Above life.

But beyond that (beneath, if you will), are the folk sthat work the 'fringe' occupations: rennies, carnies, roadies, hobos, & gypsies... just to name a few. I've the blood of the latter, and lived the life of the first three at various points. 'America Below' is not in a cavern or tunnel under a city; it migrates about, existing in campgrounds and quiet off-the-road spots and disused warehouse districts. While it lacks in age, it's just as vital... and just as invisible to the by and large populace.

*hugs and stumbles off to sleep*
