the <^> game | v. twenty-three

[viles]

• my cat is like,, sort of a (very) micro celebrity?? he's been on tv and everything
  
  ^ broke a cs rule once *gasp* how could you do such a horrid thing?? i could never do anything that would go against cs rules, ESPECIALLY not accidentally including a link to a website which had a swear word in it on march second two thousand and nineteen
  my voice is a bit nasally. also, i'm constantly switching between high-pitched customer service voice and thirteen year old in an xbox live chat attempting to deepen their voice so they sound older,, while when i'm by myself i have a decent amount of control over my pitch, i subconsciously change the pitch of my voice in conversation ALL the time,, v annoying sdkjhfdk
  
  ^ good luck with finals
  i do draw but i'm kinda...just stuck with my default style, if that makes sense? idk i'm not very good at it so i couldn't even change my style if i wanted to
  BUT if you mean like,, favorite style like of other people's artwork,, i love like,, cartoon-looking drawings with distorted proportions and bright colors,, idk if there's better terminology for that but yeah sdfhksf
  
  ^ needs to clean her room. same.
  > nihil novi sub sole.
  v what's on your mind?

[pandaa]

a lot tbh, I had a really fun day today but now I’ve got a sore throat, and finals are coming up soon, and so’s Christmas, like it’s just a lot rn but im excited and hopeful
^nothing new mm
> my mom made me some tea!! I kinda want to play some Minecraft/or Pokémon hmm
v what’s your favorite videogame, or game in general?

[trilli]

If I had to pick something…

Control. I find the gameplay and storyline extremely satisfying.

^ You have an upgraded profile. You and I share a zodiac sign.
> I own a hamster.
v If a creature landed here from outer space, what would you want it to look like? Would it be in a ship? Inside of a capsule of some sort?

[nyctophilia]

I'd want it to accidentally crash in on like an asteroid or something. Somehow it survives. I don't want an advanced technology spaceship driving megabrain alien to pull up because I don't want us to die, so preferably like a really hardy but harmless little guy with a tough shell and big funny eyes. I'm thinking space armadillo

^ Yooo I have one too! Named Greg. They're awesome
> Dead by Daylight queues fr taking 5+ minutes rn this is wack
v What's your greatest life achievement so far?

[skyline]

generally ik it sounds sad but. /almost/ winning a big contest for my costuming w a friend. we got second place but were later told we were supposed to win. then also, seeing ghost live.

^ NO ACTUALLY. they're either instant or take 12 years it's insane. then you end up getting a garbage killer anyway. but killer queues are fast at the very least. i don't really enjoy playing killer anymore either. it used to be all i played. been awful ever since the existence of mmr. we were Fine. not perfect by any means but fine. just made it worse. anyway, i wish you sanity.
> packing is so stressful i want to leave but i don't yk. i barely got anything done today besides one shelf because i'm so anxious about seeing my walls bare in my safe space for the first time in years. i just have to keep reminding myself i have a much bigger safe space and it's actually my own now instead of being shared. that concept is still so weird to me in such an odd way i feel like i don't even deserve it.
v do you have any traditions? like in general, doesn't have to be for a specific holiday or it can be. anything

[viles]

• the closest thing my family has to a tradition is not wrapping our christmas presents until christmas eve and staying up all night to wrap them together. it's usually only a few of us who do this but :shrug: once i live on my own, i'd like to start my own traditions, like picking one day out of the year to visit this one trail i love. but that time is obviously not now so i will be patient until then
  
  ^ having difficulties with packing up her safe space. that's understandable. it's difficult to leave a room you've lived in, even if you're upgrading your living quarters. i wish had some like,, Solid Advice or something but i do not, i'm sorry
  > imaginary friend came back this morning to make fun of me. they popped up, said an insult, and then left. very strange but it's good to 'see' them // i was hesitant to put any stickers on my laptop after my last one broke. i had made stickers (well, found images to print out on label paper (which is apparently not the correct thing to use for laptop stickers, just a heads up for anyone who tries it themselves,, but it was all i could use ykyk) and cut them out,, wasn't like i drew anything ALTHOUGH my friend cs user navybluechilipeppers drew me a squirtle squad sticker which i printed out,,, it was very cute <33 here it is for anyone that wants to see ^^) for my old one but then it broke and i had a breakdown because i had gotten attached to it kjdshfksfh so yeah i didn't want to put stickers on this one because it's Not Good (even worse than my old one even though this one is like,, the exact same type of laptop tha tmy old one was,,, idk how that works but it definitely can Handle Less than my old one skjfh rip) but idk then one of my siblings gave me some cat stickers so now my laptop has three stickers on it. they're cute but every time i see them i worry about feeling attached to this one
  v what's on your mind?

[pandaa]

im stressed about having school tomorrow and being sick, bleh,,,
my cough is really bad and I’m so worried about coughing during a lecture aaaa
and I would stay home but i don’t wanna miss any work esp this close to finals :,(
^ I totally get that, I get attached to random objects really easily and struggle with things like stickers for that exact reason although I do love them,, and that squirtle is cute omg,,
> im gonna just try to rest some more before dinner and maybe play some Minecraft to cope,, I can’t regulate my body temp so it’s hard to sleep rn
v how do you try to make yourself feel better when sick?

[Kayara]

I was sick recently and honestly, nap and drink tea i liked. When you feel awful like that and are always coughing or blowing your nose or just plain feeling the effects of being under the weather, there wasn’t much I could enjoy on the worst days. Besides, I needed plenty of liquids anyway, hot water was the only thing that felt good and soothing going down my throat, and I knew I wasn’t going to get much sleep at night anyway so may as well take a short nap.

^fun, Minecraft! I can see how that would be a nice past time, I’m glad you have that // good luck in class, bring a scarf to cough into maybe, no coughing into the air, absorbs some of the sound and keeps your throat warm
> I miss talking to my friend but also I’m tired but also kinda lonely n excited about stuff and nervous and frustrated and ugh- I always have to think about stuff before I can talk about it with people. I feel like if I don’t go through what I want to say before hand I won’t be understood correctly because I didn’t even check what all I had to say. Idk what you call that but I enjoy it and hate it at the same time.
v if you had to go everywhere with someone for a week, who would it be?

[noch]

my s/o!! i only see him when i travel to him so. would love to spend more time together :)

^ i overthink like this a lot too :( it'll be okay! when you mean the best, people usually pick up on that. i hope everything is well :)
> just had my sister & dad's bday party !! was really fun. they are so old LOLLLLLL (>sister is younger)
v how often do you visit new places? when was the last time you did/where did you go?

[montmorency]

somewhat often? i took a drive to parts of the county i hadn't been before today. on a bigger state scale, maybe like once a year or something? i think it really depends on how far out you define somewhere as being a "new place."

^ totally not older than their sister... definitely not
> today i took a really nice long drive. i think i am really a midwesterner at heart, there's something about driving by all of the farm fields and through the woods. i tried to go to the northeast and tell myself i needed to leave, but i'm glad that didn't happen the more time goes on.
v what are your thoughts on your hometown?
