Someone kick her out of Gaming Club

[gwenniepop]

Between Dyngus Day and spending first half of break at Sandy's place (an ISLAND), I'm kinda all watered out. So who wants to check out my new and improved Trivial Pursuit game? It's 100% positive this time. Not like that bourgeois capitalist pig game, Monopoly.

Also, Sandy is best and most patient swim instructor ever. Also cutest. I have to kiss up to him after what I put him through

is "watered out" an actual state people can accomplish?

i don't believe it

it's against my religion

[gwenniepop]

I'm pruney. Is that a word? Also, my hair can't handle this amount of constant moisture. It's frizz-central.

[peanutbuttercup]

Between the humidity and the level of stress I'm under mine is just out of control.

[gwenniepop]

I don't think either of us are seeing as much a difference as we think we are.

[peanutbuttercup]

Or we look like poodles and everyone's just being nice to us.

[waitingforsuperman]

"pruney"?

i mean, i think so

we're speaking english

any word can functionally act as nearly any other part of speech

you're the most delicious plum, gwennie

[gwenniepop]

English is bizarre. But you haven't heard Gaelic yet.

Aww. Much better to be a plum than a poodle. Sandy.

i give you

[peanutbuttercup]

What does "improved" mean?

[gwenniepop]

IT MEANS BETTER.

Come and see, Reece. Only way to find out.

[peanutbuttercup]

Okay, but don't make me answer the geography questions.

[gwenniepop]

I can't control what spaces you land on, Reece. This is a game of chance. Pure, random chance.

BUT it will be nice to you now when you play it.

[foxpaws]

Oh, can you swim like a regular joe now?

[gwenniepop]

Ha, I wish. I'm still in the hand-holding and shrieking phrase, but at least I can go in now!

[foxpaws]

Awwwwwwww that suuuuuuuuuuuuucks.

Poor Sandy can't work miracles, I guess.

[gwenniepop]

It definitely sucks for anyone nearby.

He's trying! I'll probably shamelessly beg to do some more weekends there when it gets to a reasonable, human-tolerating temperature. Plus then I get to hold Mimi. Not that I don't love my familiar, but falcons aren't the cuddly sort.

[sandyowsley]

Noted. Not understood but noted.

And it’s no big deal, Gwen. You were a good student! And it was nice having some company over the break apart from Sterling and gram.

[gwenniepop]

Temporarily watered out?

It was fun! I mean, not so much all the times I freaked out in the water, but other than that...

[sandyowsley]

I think you’re safe for a while, at least.

I’m glad! I did too. And don’t worry about freaking out a little. You gave it your best attempt and you made progress; that’s the important part!

[gwenniepop]

Yea, I think you hit me like two dozen times on Dyngus Day. There's a limit, you know!

I think you are being generous, but I'm willing to keep trying.

[foxpaws]

[taxation_is_theft]

No your game made fun of me by trying to be motivational and shit fuck yo game

[gwenniepop]

It said you were doing a very good job arguing with it, Quentin. That's very nice of it, don't you think?

[taxation_is_theft]

yeah but like

how can you trust something that can’t get mad

that’s suspicious af

[gwenniepop]

Look, I tried to make Monopoly more interesting and everyone got mad when it called them names. And now the flip side is worse? No fair.
