*snerk* d8, d20+
Despite the subject line, this is not a gaming post. I am not a gamer.
I am, however, at least somewhat of a mage, and today, it was recommended to me that I re-do my shields, something that periodically has to be done.
So I did.
The outermost layer of my shields is the exact shape of one of those lovely fluorite crystals. It's the shape that's most popularly known among gamers as a d8.
This is not news to me. I've known that my shields have been this shape pretty much since beginning the LBRP and thinking about it. Those are the corners, and the shape forms itself around that. It's tidy.
Perhaps two years ago, I had a vision. It was a strange shape: a multisided shape, three-dimensional, like a many-sided die, d20 or more. It was connected by a broad tube to a d8.
I wasn't thinking about that vision. I was just focusing on what I was doing, namely reinforcing my own shields. I made sure that the link to Darkside was still functional, then took a "glance" to see what kind of shape his shields were. After all, his and mine interlace...
His shields, the outer layer of which somewhat overlapped with mine, looked like a large, faceted sphere.
Connected to my shields by a large tube, which would be the outer layer of shielding on our link.
Sudden Realization. No. Yes. Oy. Yep, him all along.
