the <^> game | v. twenty-three

[marciplier]

my dad caught her on the couch like this after coming back from the vet. this was the only time she ever blepped.


^ YOU MONSTER give them little a wet food as a treat
> watching a movie with my dad. im sitting across from him watching him eat a fruit pie, i called him bobby and he didnt like that LOL
v do you have any funny nicknames? if you dont, have you given anyone else funny nicknames?

[LittleMaple]

SO MANY my dad calls me pook/pookabear/bug and YOU call me Mapie :3

^ I'VE NEVER SEEN THST RIVER PIC BEFORE..... look at her. Crying so hard.
> ready to go home and die or. Something LOL. Only 2 more weeks of my internship.... I'm gonna miss my coworkers ngl especially James and Carrie and Cathy. Also I love doing repetitive tasks you guys!!!! Maybe I'll work on my spreadsheets to bring myself some joy
v what's something you enjoy doing that most others do not? (Ex I tied up holes in a mesh net for bats today and had the time of my life)

VVV I DO TOO!!! I don't think I could collect wet specimens but my bone collection may be expanding (for FREE!!!) soon thanks to one of my coworkers :333 she offered to just. Give me some. YIPPEE

[emgore]

hmm, i've noticed that a lot of people are somewhat put off by the fact that i collect animal bones and wet specimens, even my coworkers. i'm always on etsy looking mystery boxes and currently i'm fixated on saving up for some sphinx kittens (who passed humanely, of course), but my prized possession is a deer femur i found in the front yard of my parents' cottage.

^ good luck on your last two weeks! internships are always hard to let go of once the contracts end, especially when you find yourself having a lot of fun working with the people around you.
> celebrating my first night living alone by curling up with a good book and stalking the cs pages to grind out this event. life is sometimes so simple, in a good way of course:)
v what do you enjoy doing when you have some alonetime?

[montmorency]

i like to draw and listen to some youtube in the background. that's what i've been doing a lot lately

^ omg congrats!! living alone can be So nice, it's awesome to just do whatever you want
> such wacky adventures lately. bit by a barn owl, chased by a black vulture... thus is the life. volunteering gives me some hope that maybe one day i'll have a career that i actually enjoy
v what's your dream career?

[Chevalier]

I would like to mix the parts I enjoyed about working in a restaurant (high-paced, good banter, enjoyable drinking culture, don't have to wake up early) with working in an office (my feet don't hurt, don't have to talk to people if I don't want to, actually makes a livable wage). Unfortunately they are at completely opposite ends of a spectrum. I would also love to draw for a living but only what I want to draw in my comfort zone lol. No idea what I'm gonna actually do right now.
^ Sounds very exciting!! I love birds as well :). Volunteering is always a good step to getting into careers too! Good luck!
> Finally the weekend, and I get all of next week off as well :D Gonna get a commission done and then do some traditional painting for myself. I've been able to paint in the garden as well, since the weather's been nice and warm.
v How have you decorated your bedroom/house?

[brundlefly]

I live with my parents still so the way they’ve decorated the house is very reminiscent of a house in Texas where they’re from… kind of mid century modern inspired, lots of tropical and western themes. my room is the complete opposite, a lot of blue and black, cds and figurines and candles everywhere, warm low lighting and a lot of celestial theming and posters everywhere… I want to paint my walls a nice mellow purple and get more horror memorabilia too. it’s my “goth cave” XD

^thats so amazing! I hope you enjoy the relaxing week and I hope that your art pieces turn out to what you want them to be
> summer is almost over!!! :(
v what is your favorite summer activity?

[Dawgs4Life11]

I love reading, so hopefully I'll get to spend a lot of time outside in the Australian sun, reading my books, swimming at the beach and drinking smoothies (it's winter in Australia right now so I have to wait another six months ugh)

^ your room sounds really cool im not gonna lie (and its funny how different it is from the rest of your house)
> im nodding off as im writing this its 11:42 and i have work tomorrow TOMORROW IS SUNDAY !! ugh, well money is money
v what is your favourite tv show or book? (pitch it to me i need stuff to be obsessed with)

[lug]

Nobody would ever guess this but Transformers: More than Meets the Eye is probably my favorite book (at least as far as comics go). It just makes me happy when I read it besides when some of my favorite characters get literally obliterated bc this is Transformers after all and someones gotta die.

It's a ship full of misfit Transformers that set out on a quest to find the legendary Knights of Cybertron. It's got a found family thing going for it but with giant robots (half of which should probably be in jail rn), it's all very cute. I can go on for hours about why I enjoy this book but nobody wants to read 200 pages of straight up nonsensical rambling.

^ you just like me fr fr reading >>> literally anything else. I also I hope you get that bag
> Was starting a new series and found out my favorite character thus far dies so idk what point is. I've known Chambers for 5 seconds but he means the world to me. Nobody else in that anime matters like yawn yall boring. Idk if I even wanna continue watching it. Life just isnt the same without a sentient robot...
v Least favorite song you ever listened to?

[trilli]

It would have to be "Breathe" by Jack Jones. The vocals are horrendous. I have no doubt there is another one in my memory, but that's the one that comes to me first.

^ Maybe you can cherish the scenes he is in? I know that sucks. It's one reason why I don't really get into television anymore.
> I now have two water bottles.
v How has your day been going?

[•°• Hwinior •°•]

I horribly misjudged how hot it is outside. Almost passed out while on a walk, but I made it to the Wendy's at the top of the hill. Right before the pandemic started, I asked how buying fast food worked because I wanted a frosty. I never got to actually do that until now. I'm sitting in a cool nearly entirely empty Wendy's with a large cherry Sprite and large triple berry frosty right now as I type this. My first ever time in a restaurant by myself was successful and I am proud of myself. I'd say that's somewhat worth nearly fainting in front of the half-abandoned crumbly shopping plaza, haha. So... Good. I'm having a good day.

^ Did the first water bottle have a baby, or are they unrelated to each other?
> Other than needing to ask how to use the drink fountain, buying fast food was much easier than I thought it would be. That drink fountain is a funky touch screen blob that made me a bit nervous. Doable, but eeek.
v Do you like this year's summer event theme? (I'm hoping that we get train items since there's a railroad there, I love trains.)
