3:22 AM
progress on the magical dream grove thingy
I am considering adding more swirlies to the sky, on the principle that no amount of swirlies is too many swirlies
 
 
1 hour later…
4:42 AM
i love it <3
 
did you see the very subtle gay tree
 
extremely subtle :p
 
i'm going to take a wild guess and say that tomorrow's session will involve poking the mercs
what say you, oh All-Powerful DM?
 
that is indeed an accurate guess, unless you manage to negotiate
 
we made spikies to poke them
 
4:53 AM
you did make spikies
 
because Astrid would like them to just go away
Astrid's player knows this will not happen, but
negotiation sounds worse for tired dwarf brain than fighting
 
Ink is not really up for negotiation with these people... you're going to have to convince him as well ;p
 
And Lae isn't the negotiating type
I think we'll be poking
 
Assuming they killed the dragon, Ink isn't really happy with them. But on the other hand if they can kill the dragon (and they aren't still injured, and the dragon was as powerful as it seemed to be) then it isn't a Good Idea (TM) to fight without any kind of assistance -.-;
(Level Forest-11 -.-;)
 
5:11 AM
so you're saying that thinking annoyed thoughts in their direction won't work
 
5:50 AM
hehe well we can but hope
 
Bold of you to assume Ink's annoying thoughts won't be terrifying enough
 
they have been known to get ppl slightly rattled!
 
 
1 hour later…
6:55 AM
headontailonpaws
 
yawns
I'm going through my audition recordings because my band teacher's like "Let me listen to them at least"
 
7:18 AM
Well I think that is kind of a good plan >.>;
 
Decided not to go through with it
My schedule's already packed as it is, and I don't like to send in anything that's like just "okay"
Even if I do make it, it doesn't feel deserved because it wasn't perfect
 
7:54 AM
tailhugs
 
 
10 hours later…
5:46 PM
Who's ready for battle shenanigans today?
 
'borg said there is a possibility of us negotiating
problem is Astrid is too tired to talk, Ink doesn't want to talk, and Lae can't talk well
 
Hm
Or scaring them away
I am invisible, so I might be able to be like
WHO DAAARRRRES ENTER THIS SACRED LANDS
 
get Ink to do aggressive pan pipe music
Death metal ><
 
Hey, Lae can play the lyre too!
 
druidcraft for skunk smell?
 
5:50 PM
Hehe
 
can you cast an Instantaneous while using Concentration?
 
Yup
You just can't cast two concentration
Do note that once you cast a spell, your ill stop being invisible. You might want to hold off on doing anything until absolutely necessary'
 
ah yes, I ill stop
 
"your ill" vs "you will"
 
5:55 PM
Oh -
 
bobble, the free typo checker
get yours for half-off if you buy today!
the first hundred callers get a 'Borg Bundle with extra goodies!
(yes, half-off free is... still free)
 
So, um, I may not be able to make session time today - my partner's parents came in town and he really wants me to come spend the day with them <3 i might be able to do it if we schedule it later in the evening my time, if Gray doesn't have to work?
 
It's Sunday for him so
No problem! I don't mind having it later in the day, if that's what works best for you
 
how long do you think it would take?
 
5:59 PM
sorry for short notice, i wasn't aware they were here until last night
we will probably be there all day, so i could be back by 9:00ish my time?
 
because i would like to have biking time, but i could conceivably bike before session instead of after.
 
9:00-ish your time is... 6:00-ish bobble time
Oh, and my time :P
 
i know you guys eat dinner so we could push it later, but again it depends on Gray
 
oof
 
i'm really sorry
 
6:01 PM
i can't make 6, will be having Grandparents Dinner
 
@Sciborg Don't stress, you have a life too :D
 
it's fine, you have Life stuff!
 
We should prob re-schedule then. Sunday or Tuesday work?
 
I could probably make 7? 7:30 would be safer
that would be after dinner and shower
 
i can make Sunday or Tuesday if that's okay as our reschedule time
i don't have any Sunday plans besides maybe a quick afternoon thing :)
 
6:02 PM
but then Gray has work
darn timezones
 
I might be able to make 7:00-7:30, but my mom might yell at me to get off the laptop
 
yeah :(
i'm okay planning on either Sunday or Tuesday, so when Gray arrives definitely ask him what he can do. sorry for short notice again
 
we can try 7:00-7:30
 
(as a start time?)
 
which would be 10:00 my time right?
 
6:04 PM
(yeah)
 
that should be fine, we will be done by then unless we grab dessert or something
as long as you won't get in trouble :p
 
Hm, I'd probably only be able to do around an hour or so
if it's 7:30. 7:00 we might be able to do 2 hours
 
partner is coming to pick me up so i gotta run, but i'm gonna plan on 10:00 and just ping me if plans change
 
6:22 PM
Lovely weather today, I just have to say
It’s a nice 76 degrees, sunny, but not hot at all
Cool breeze
How are you freezing in Michigan?
 
America is big
very big
 
Yes I am aware :p
California is obnoxiously large
California should honestly be broken down into four states
 
whaddaya mean it's large. i can cover it on this map with my hand
it's teeny
 
There’s Southern, Eastern, Central, and northern. Each had their own distinct culture and political leanings
Wait bobble does this mean I am smaller than your hand o_O
 
maybe one of those would be Rep. and the others Dems. - Rs don't want Senate balance to be shifted
 
6:33 PM
Oooh true
 
on the same map I can cover where I live with my pinky, so I must be even smaller
 
Well Central and Eastern Cal tend to be more Republican while Southern and Northern tend to lean Democrat, so the balance is still there :D
 
I'm about 95% sure that the real reason Rs oppose DC statehood is because of Senate balance, as opposed to any ideological justification
 
Probably lol
DC is literally one of the most Democratic heavy region of any part of the US that can vote
Also bobble secretly lives in Rhode Island confirmed????
Jk
(Wait what’s Rs)
 
(Republicans, presumably?)
 
6:38 PM
(yep)
 
Well Democrats control the House and senate rn, so diesnt really matter if another democratically state joins >.<
 
"diesnt"
also, it would be "Democratic" or "Democrat-inclined", not "democratically"
"Senate" should be capitalized
"rn" should be spelled out into "right now"
there should be a "it" after "so"
 
Thank you bobble-checker
I am typing on my phone, pardon
 
bobble-checker is the best checker
 
Who needs grammarly
 
6:43 PM
*Grammarly
 
I wonder how bad the inflation is right now
 
 
3 hours later…
9:55 PM
yawns and blinks
 
Session has been delayed, as you can see above
 
Mmm what is the #hrs adjustment? ^^*
 
Usual session starts 2PM my time, proposed other time is 7-7:30
 
Uhm okay... I will be vaguely around, waking up x.x
(tailhugs)
 
 
1 hour later…
11:17 PM
@Graylocke Well, 7:00-7:30 would be like afternoon-ish time for your :P
 
Yeah - I worked that out. :P Don't make fun of me, I give up naps for D&D :P
(I was up late being confused by Baba is You)
 
stares jealously at ability to take naps
 
Yeah - I can't get to sleep but then I never get enough, so waking up sucks -.-;
 
Yeah, waking up does suck
I used to wake up at like 5:45 in the morning to get to zero period
 
I don't quite know what that means, but I hate waking up in the morning... Snow cat is a snow owl...
 
11:22 PM
"zero period" means a period before 1st period, for students who want to start school earlier
 
o.o;
 
Yeah, because I need more classes
School usually starts at 7:45, zero period starts at 6:45
 
... right ...
this seems like not my thing at all -.-;
 
> - Claremont McKenna College
- Colorado College
- Connecticut College
- Grinnell College
- Haverford College
- Kenyon College
- Macalester College
- Sarah Lawrence College
^Email saying "discover the 8 best colleges"
Urm
No offense to those colleges, but that's a bold claim
 
(does not understand US schooling system at all)
But that's okay ^^;
 
11:27 PM
It means i'm getting spam emails from a bunch of colleges who just want to take my money
"Hey, come to our school and also enjoy our free DEBT! Tuition is only $40,000 a year! We provide scholarships to 90% of our students, but we count $100 scholarships as part of that percentage!"
"You also can't file bankruptcy! Enjoy our complimentary SUFFERING for the rest of your life just so that you could get a piece of paper!"
 
... I like having the government pay it out of future taxes >.>;
But like... yanno... I also work for a university now and live "Elswyr"
 
Sometimes they get hilariously desperate
"<name>, have you applied yet?"
"<name>, did you forget to click 'Submit'? We'll extend the deadline just for you!"
 
My favorite is "Am I contacting <name>?" Or "Is this the email of <name>?"
Like
If it wasn't my email
Why would I respond
 
They sound like normal telemarketers and spam emailers... just allowed to target people who are younger than usual >.>;
 
"<name> URGENT NOTICE, DEADLINE APPROACHING - apply now to one of the best colleges in <insert field>"
 
11:31 PM
Oh, get some good FOMO in there.
 
Like, I don't mind getting "solicitation" emails from colleges I want to go to - they're kind of like cool "updates" and whatnot
 
"<name>, why haven't you responded to any of my previous emails?"
 
@bobble Haha yes!
 
"<name>, I'm your personal application adviser!"
 
"Personal". Yes
Hundred percent
 
11:34 PM
I had a long meeting at work about "personalisation" -.-;
 
Though I do have to say, one college sent me a handwritten letter from one of its current students, which I thought was really unique
Like, whether it was a form letter or not, the fact that they got students to reach out to prospective students like that - I'm impressed
I don't think it was a form letter either, which makes it that much more impressive
 
One college sent me a "Future <college name> student!" sticker
 
(and yes, I do work at a university ^^)
 
Here, I'll send you a picture of what they wrote
They also called the admission counselor from what I'd presume was a nickname rather than their first name
Like it's probably 80% form letter, but still kind of cool
 
wow o.o; with your name in the same handwriting?
 
11:39 PM
Yup
 
it's like a form letter with slave labour! ;p
 
still - it is pretty nice in an "wow - effort was made" kind of way :)
 
imagines D&D campaign about going to magic college
 
Hehe
Hogwarts
 
11:41 PM
It was almost that briefly ;p
Though getting Ink and Lae into the College of Pan may have been difficult.
The Sorting Cloak may not have gone all flowery for us
 
Sorting Hat would be like "What dis muggle doing here"
