A few words
For those of you who don't know me, my name is Steve McDonald. I played Theodorus in the campaign.
I hope that those of you who took the time to read these boards also had the opportunity to read the chat sessions that went on with Jessica's character and mine. Like so many roleplaying characters, Theodorus was essentially another version of me, accenting my arrogance in an attempt to cover the fact that I constantly fear what other people will think of me.
I, as a person, find it very hard to trust people, I'm not very open that way. But it was impossible not to trust someone like Jessica from the moment I met her. I was a stranger to her, and she took me into her home and life with nothing but acceptance of the oddities that make me what I am.
I have never had a friend (or anyone close to me) die. I cannot stop feeling empty . She was one of the few people in this world that I loved, and with the exception of my wife (who has been a pillar of strength for me in this time), I had no one else like Jess that I could just be myself around.
There is nothing else I can say, other than to beg whatever god there is in such a world that she and her beautiful, beautiful children know some peace wherever they are at this time.
