Moods, magic, & stuff.

[azurelunatic]

Since we don't have our psychsets tape-fed to us, and they're always in flux, it's necessary for each to find own handles [for deliberate mood-change]. But specific methods for finding handles are learnable, cross-reference Heavy Occult Religious Stuff. (That's pretty much what a fair bit of [the beginning stuff] is about: managing thine own mind and grokking it. Before one may do anything Heavy, one's got to master the tool for doing Heavy, which is mind.)


Which makes me suddenly wonder if there are any azi mages. And if so, I bet they could make and learn tape for spellcasting.


I discovered my mood handle when drunk for the very first time. It governed base mood, and it had been flopped down to depressed, and the alcohol enabled me to notice where it was, because alcohol sets my base mood to "cheerful".

Ghaa.

Evidently my brain has a style sheet.

For some reason this reminds me of the mythical Switch in the bowels of the school, with two settings: "Easy" and "Ass"

(it is currently set to "Ass")

Hot cider sets my base mood to "contented". So does chai. Green tea, when made properly, is blissful.

I have a hamburger. Goodbye!
