Estate of Purple Thought

peaseblossom and I have been playing, for a while, long road to when, our Nobilis game. A bunch of things have happened --go and look at her write-ups if you are interested.

One of the many things that happened during the game was her character gaining a secondary estate so here's the write-up.

The estate of the Purple Thought covers a deep reverie of decadence that leads to renewed energy, vigor and life. This estate covers a senescence so deep that from it comes a deep and true creativity so powerful that it can penetrate the secrets of reality. This estate covers aspects of sexuality, inspiration and the arts.

The Imperator of this estate, Itari hails from the world of the Ten Thousand Orchids. This world is inhabited by a graceful race of intelligent, humanoid, flowers. As such this is an understanding of life that can be very difficulty for outsiders to grasp, most can only understands two of its aspects: the decadence and the naked sexuality; and the inspiration that forms community. But to truly understand the Purple Thought one much capture the inter-textuality between the two.

There may be something wrong with my brain

There may be something wrong with my brain when I read a post about:

A new census conducted in the Republic of the Congo suggests that there are about twice as many western lowland gorillas in the world than previously thought.

And I think about an old game.

I've been having trouble doing a story with this character, and I just realized it may have to do with my not successfully articulating to peaseblossom what I had in mind. Maybe this will help.
