Don't bother the techs.

Seriously, don't. I'm not entirely sure what's going on but all I'm getting is that it's the equivalent of being hacked and someone who knows layer theory better than we do is out there screwing things up and tampering with the project.

I don't have a really good update for you guys, but bear with us. Please?

Military history...
That's so grim.
I'm trying to think of something I know about military history and I'm drawing a total blank.
Oh, Frederick the Great, right? From 10th grade World History. (I mean, from Prussia, but you know.)

I'm not really planning to drop out, so please don't worry!
I mean, it's summer right now anyway...

Old Fritz, yeah. Took my parents a while to come around on him, but they grew up in a different time. Weird that they could love him but as soon as their daughter says she's got something in common with him, it's a problem.

Right. Sneaks up on me every year. I was starting to wonder why it was so quiet at the dorms.

oh...
:(
Well, you could try annexing Silesia and see what happens.
(I shouldn't make weird jokes, I'm sorry)


?
Do you live at the dorms?
hauntedsavior: (analyze your apathy)

[personal profile] hauntedsavior 2018-06-10 10:53 pm (UTC)(link)
I tried, but they said I was in violation of the Treaty of Berlin and counter-annexed my free time from my life. (You get one military history joke for free.)

More or less. Got a place in Birch Hills back when I was in college and I just never moved out. It's not bad, even if my roommate's around less and less lately. Starting to think I should just kick him out officially and get someone who's on the app. Well, for longer than a month.

(Good because I don't know enough off the top of my head to make any other ones)

Oh, word! I live at Birch Hills too. I lived on campus until last year, though...
Do you know Minato Arisato? He's my roommate.
hauntedsavior: (caught a glimpse of the ending)

[personal profile] hauntedsavior 2018-06-11 07:15 am (UTC)(link)
Haha, holy shit, you're roomies with Operator?

[don't worry about it.]

Is there anyone on the app who doesn't know him?
floret: (and never make amends)

[personal profile] floret 2018-06-13 07:54 am (UTC)(link)
Wow, you really knew him...
I figured you would, but it's still a little bit surreal...
He really spends so much time just sleeping and hanging out with birds and stuff, sometimes I have a hard time understanding how he can also work like eight part-time jobs and get to know every single person in the city.
hauntedsavior: (turned your back on affinity)

[personal profile] hauntedsavior 2018-06-13 08:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Some people are just like that. There's this kid I talked to for a while who was just trying to do everything at once and, like, yeah, if it works then go for it, but he was definitely on his way to crashing and burning HARD.

Haven't talked to him in a bit. Wonder if he did.

Anyway I don't get that vibe from Minato for some reason. I didn't even know he did all that shit until right now. Maybe he can time travel.
floret: (of my distant friends)

[personal profile] floret 2018-06-14 06:37 am (UTC)(link)
OMG I misread that as "Wonder if he died"

And now I wonder if he died.

Well, Minato is a low key guy... which is why I feel confused about how much he does. It probably isn't eight jobs, anyway. I just know he started at the Tea Kittle without quitting Expressive, and he still volunteers at the vet and with the senior dogs... I feel like there's at least one more pretty major commitment on top of those, too?
But maybe nobody's giving him hours. idk
hauntedsavior: (met your stare with blank expression)

[personal profile] hauntedsavior 2018-06-14 08:06 am (UTC)(link)
Shit, sorry, that's on me. I feel like we'd hear about somebody dying, especially if they're on the app. Feels like it would be a bigger deal than usual.

Maybe he's just not getting hours, yeah. Mine started to drop like a motherfucker after that dome went up, but that's what you get for doing nationwide tech support in a city that's not part of that nation anymore...? Or whatever the hell happened to the city back in February.
floret: (hand on the bible)

[personal profile] floret 2018-06-15 06:31 am (UTC)(link)
But did he die, though?? We should text him just in case!

Oh man, the dome was the worst.
Well, actually, for me December was the worst, even though there weren't any cataclysmic occurrences or anything.
But the dome, ugh. I didn't even mind the total blankness at the start of last month compared to that.
hauntedsavior: (the voice of sympathy)

[personal profile] hauntedsavior 2018-06-15 08:20 am (UTC)(link)
I don't even remember his name. He's the guy who's always screaming about how much he has to do and is definitely ready to go full Locomotive Breath at any given second? (You know, the train it won't stop goin', no way to slow down.)

The dome was my introduction to this whole app. Can't believe I bought the lie that it was an eclipse. I can totally believe they decided to fuck with everyone for the holidays, though. Sorry you had to go through whatever happened.
floret: (bam)

[personal profile] floret 2018-06-16 08:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Uhhh
idk
It's not ringing a bell...
Or a train whistle.

It wasn't really anything in particular "they" did. I honestly can't even remember what weird stuff was going on then... Maybe the thing with blue and green? Oh, there were the mistletoe bats, I guess.
OH
Is that when the flavor thing was happening?? Do you remember that at all? I mean it would've seemed normal at the time, of course.
hauntedsavior: (met your stare with blank expression)

[personal profile] hauntedsavior 2018-06-17 09:23 am (UTC)(link)
Didn't think it would. Not really expecting a lot of fuckin' Jethro Tull references to land, either, so I really don't mind if you sit this one out.

I'm never gonna get used to finding out all this stuff I thought was totally normal was Retrospec's fault. Like yeah obviously I remember this, but it didn't even register? Fuck. See, this is why I get high.

On life, and nothing else.
floret: (where does this mean world)

[personal profile] floret 2018-06-22 03:58 am (UTC)(link)
And for a while when there were colors missing, and I got some really nice gray clothes? But then a few months later they totally turned bright green and blue! But I can't really afford to be picky, so now I just have to pretend that was my aesthetic the whole time.

Anyway, life sounds amazing right now. Honestly, I have to budget that too, though. Because of snacks.

Missed out on anything like that just because I haven't updated my wardrobe in years, but hey, more power to you for committing to a choice that bit you in the ass. You're probably making it work.

Christ, yeah. If my... friend who gives me life ever shows up on the app, I'll have to see if I can get something worked out. To make life a little easier for anyone who might be in our kind of situation.
