{smiles crookedly}
Again, sorry...
And bye.
Have a good evening...

[the_rabid_snail, Empress of Nightmares]

*sees Chess's other post* Never mind. Bye, Chess! See you next time you're on!

[littleboyblue]

Hi bye Chess!

Heya Snail!

[the_rabid_snail, Empress of Nightmares]

Hi, Demi!

[littleboyblue]

Hey, sorry I disappeared o~o
How're you? ^-^

Also, random question, are we going to do any face claims in this group?

[the_rabid_snail, Empress of Nightmares]

S'okay, I disappeared too!
I'm doing okay. Not great but not bad either. How are you?

[Penelope ~Conversations with my cat~]

I want a muffin...

[littleboyblue]

AH I DISAPPEARED AGAIN I'M SORRY

I want a muffin too.

[Penelope ~Conversations with my cat~]

I don't know why that came up, but I want one.

[littleboyblue]

I have mini low carb blueberry muffins at home... they're yummy and adorable.
but I'm at school.

[the_rabid_snail, Empress of Nightmares]

Hello!

[Chess]

Hey, Snail...!

[the_rabid_snail, Empress of Nightmares]

Hi, Chess! How're you?

[Chess]

Not bad...
Pretty good...

{tilts head}
How about you?

[the_rabid_snail, Empress of Nightmares]

Doing okay. Definitely better than yesterday, though. Plus, my cat kept my feet warm all last night by sleeping on top of them.

What've you been up to?

[Chess]

{grins}
Upward streaks are always good...!

Reading, Writing, and Ruing.
{grins}
You?

[the_rabid_snail, Empress of Nightmares]

Reading, writing, and what now?

Fooling around on here, eating a graham cracker, working on some characters and replies, the usual yadda yadda.

[Chess]

Ruing...
[I love being deliberately dense]
[Oops... I'm not supposed to write that...]
[Or that...]
[Or that...]
{sighs and gives up}

{nods}
Ah...
{gets struck with curiosity}
What's up?

[the_rabid_snail, Empress of Nightmares]

It's okay. *pats Chess* Just give up...

My popcorn ceiling. What's up on your end?

[Chess]

{turns into an achy pile of Chess}
Okay...

It's one of those block ceilings that's made up of foot-long-sided squares.
It's painted white, but it's got a lot of chipped paint, scratches, and putty splotches.
Oh, yeah... and there's a bright, dull-yellow lightbulb screwed into a silver-ish base, with no cover.

[the_rabid_snail, Empress of Nightmares]

*hugs Chess* I've already given up on almost everything, so you can join my club.

Are you in that closet again?

[Chess]

Do you have t-shirts for your club?

{nods}
Yup...
Almost every time I'm on here, I'm going to be in the closet.

{scowls}
Which has given several of the other volunteers who think that they're funny a perpetual joke.

[the_rabid_snail, Empress of Nightmares]

I do now! *hands Chess a black T-shirt*

Is it at least a nice temperature in there?

*scoffs* Pssht, stupid people. I'd like to see them try to write. *frowns* Why does everyone try to be a comedian? *huffs*

[Chess]

{grins and sits up straight again, accepting t-shirt with a nod of thanks}
Thank you!

Today it's a fairly nice temperature, yeah...

{grins mischievously}
Because comedians are funny!
How do I know that this is why everyone tries...?
BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT I DO!
{stands on rolling chair and wiggles chair around in a full circle before calming down and sitting back down like a semi-normal (debatable) person}
Being funny is fun!
Trying and failing...
Isn't so much.
{droops at thought}
I do that a lot...
It's so sad...
{sighs}
{chuckles}

[the_rabid_snail, Empress of Nightmares]

You're welcome!

Okay, good. Because if it wasn't, I'd send one of my characters through the screen to adjust it for you.

Only the good comedians...

I don't think either of us are particularly normal. Normal people are boring, and you're not boring.

I think you're pretty funny. And yeah, being funny is fun sometimes.

[Chess]

Thank you...
On just about all of your above comment...

AND HOLY COW I"M SO LATE
I WAS SUPPOSED TO BE GONE AT TWO>>>
GOTA OG BYE!

[the_rabid_snail, Empress of Nightmares]

You're welcome!

NO, CHESS! DON'T LEAVE ME!

[Chess]

Oop...
Um..
Sorry....

Are you still here?
I'm back..!

[the_rabid_snail, Empress of Nightmares]

Still on!

HI, CHESS!

[Chess]

{grins}
HEY, SNAIL!

[the_rabid_snail, Empress of Nightmares]

HOW ARE YOU? *realizes caps lock is still on* Whoops...

[Chess]

{chuckles}

Doing better now...
I got chewed out for being late, though...
{shudders slightly}
That wasn't fun.

[the_rabid_snail, Empress of Nightmares]

*laughs at self*

What were you late for?

Sorry you got chewed out...

[Chess]

Helping my older cousin move her books, helping move several dozen boxes of food from a donor's house to a storage room at the food pantry, and volunteering at the library.

[the_rabid_snail, Empress of Nightmares]

Wow, that really sucks. You are way busier than I am.

[Chess]

{shrugs}
My cousin is family...

Volunteering is about the only time I get to meet/make friends, plus it's fun...
{scowls darkly}
Unless the head librarian at the library you volunteer at has it in for you...

So my days are split up between Goodreads/Library/Food Pantry/School, unless we stay at home... where my time is split between Cleaning/School/Reading/CLEANING/Helping Mother plant...
I don't particularly enjoy planting plants...
Or most plants, for that matter.

[Chess]

How about your days?

[the_rabid_snail, Empress of Nightmares]

I would never do that for any of my cousins, but then none of them would want me around anyway, even if I was helping.

I do as little volunteering as possible. I'd rather be writing or working on something, but I also hate meeting people irl, so... *shrug*

Me neither. Chloe hates plants. I guess she got it from me...

[the_rabid_snail, Empress of Nightmares]

My days? Mostly just school, goodreads, my writing (although that hasn't actually happened in a while), and various other shit I waste time on. And then, there's rehearsals in the evenings for company, coop once a week, and our church.

[Chess]

{nods} This one only likes me when I'm doing or giving her something... {shrugs}

I've found that me being alone for long periods of time breeds long, sometimes loud conversations with myself. I'm not all that bad at a few accents, and I'm apparently able to win every argument I have with myself. Unfortunately, sometimes my voices plot horrible deaths for those around me... Or act out said deaths.
In general, it's better for me to be around others (even when I'm on a I-don't-want-to-pretend-to-be-in-a-good-mood day...).

{chuckles}

[Chess]

{tilts head inquisitively}
Rehearsals?

[the_rabid_snail, Empress of Nightmares]

*grins* I'm almost always talking with myself when I'm alone. Either that or to someone who's not really there. I find it more fun than having a conversation with someone irl, unless it's with my one good friend.

What accents can you do? I can't really do any...

The deaths and plotting them happens to me too sometimes. Especially when my siblings are involved.

[the_rabid_snail, Empress of Nightmares]

Rehearsals for company and dance and stuff.

[Chess]

{chuckles} It's a bit like RPing in 'real life'... more or less... only it can be perfect and go the way that you want it to, and not get twisted around by other people's imaginations.
I enjoy not knowing what other people will say or how they'll react; while it's nice holding all the cards and having all the power, it makes life more interesting to talk with other people.
Not to mention, being able to find out that there are other people like you... it's one thing logically knowing that it's a fact that you are probably only slightly original, seeings as there are several billion other people out there, and another to talk to someone who is similar to you.

Irish, British, Texan (obviously, {grins}), Scottish, sometimes German, and New York... if I think really hard about it.

{chuckles}
I think one of my earliest writing projects (when I was five or six) was writing out a murder scene to get it out of my head... I still have it at home, but it's one of those things the parental unit will never find out about, if I can help it. It wasn't a particularly good murder scene, but...

[Chess]

Crud... I've got to go.
I doubt I'll be on over the weekend, but who knows.
Have a nice evening, a nice weekend, and a nice time in general!
Good-evening, good night, and good bye..!

[littleboyblue]

Heyo~

Wow, you guys are really busy...

@Chess Lol xD I have to admit, closet jokes can be funny, but all the time would piss me off. It's also incredibly funny because I'm SO not straight and I think my best friend thinks I'm joking... x'3 I just try to avoid those conversations in general, most people aren't terribly openminded where I live.

[the_rabid_snail, Empress of Nightmares]

I don't. I'd rather control everything, but then, I might just be a control freak. Although, my *suspected but very highly likely* Asperger's comes into play there, so... *shrug*

I love Texan accents...

I have a lot of those. More torture scenes than murders, though.

NO, CHESS, DON'T LEAVE ME!! DON'T GO! TAKE ME WITH YOU!!!

*calms down* Next time I'm going to jump out of the computer screen. Then you can take me home with you.

[the_rabid_snail, Empress of Nightmares]

DEMI! YES, I'M NOT ALONE ANYMORE EVEN THOUGH I WAS ONLY ALONE FOR ABOUT 0.01 SECONDS! Oh, wait. Caps lock is on. Crap...

People are very closeminded where I live too... That's terrible that your best friend thinks you're joking. I hate it when people don't take me seriously.

[littleboyblue]

XD SNAIL! NO YOU AREN'T ALONE! It's cool cx

Yeahhhhh.... she's super religious and innocent though, and though I've never heard her say a word about politics or at least not much I'm pretty sure she's conservative. And I'm not completely sure but yeah pretty sure she thinks me and other best friend are joking. *rolls eyes* If I say I'm not straight, there's probably a pretty good chance I'm not straight... ugh. I have four friends, and two of them are in the same boat I am. *shrugs*

So how're you? ^-^

[the_rabid_snail, Empress of Nightmares]

I'm okay. How are you?
