Put ice packs in between all your layers, Beckie!

long road 02-06-2023 05:12 PM

Do you have any ultraa thin jackets or jumpers Beckie? Would a baggy t-shirt go over the dobok?

I understand not wanting to be stared at and I know they aren't really changing facilities there. Take a drink with you!

Cacoethes 02-06-2023 05:15 PM

Alas, i have no ice packs!

I do have a thin jacket that I've been wearing lots lately.
A baggy t shirt might work!

It's 6 hours, i will be taking 2 drinks and even that wasn't really enough last time! XD
And it will actually be over 6 hours, because travelling.

long road 02-06-2023 05:17 PM

Hopefully baggy t-shirt works, a t-shirt has to be thinner than a jacket even a thin one.

Ah I forgot it was all day training tomorrow I got mixed up and thought you were going to a regular class tonight. Do they have a tap there where you could refill one of drinks with water?

Cacoethes 02-06-2023 05:20 PM

Yeah probably!

Nah, normal training is Thursdays.
They only have the taps in the bathroom.
It's a sports hall building at a school, separate building to the school, so no real facilities apart from toilets!

long road 02-06-2023 05:29 PM

That's irritating. Anyway you can carry extra water or would it make your bag too heavy?

Cacoethes 02-06-2023 05:38 PM

I don't have any other fluid receptacles!
And if i did, it definitely would make my bag too heavy!
Because i have my lunch to carry too.

Just gonna pop out to post something i sold on vinted. So i can get it over and done with!

long road 02-06-2023 05:50 PM

Maybe try and have a big drink before you leave the house then.

At least you don't have to wear your dobok tonight! Hope posting goes well and payment from vinted is speedy.

Cacoethes 02-06-2023 06:16 PM

Then I'll just need to pee for the whole journey XD

Yep it's all sent off absolutely fine!
Got there, sent, and back in 22 mins!

And just realised i can't wear a baggy t shirt because doboks are long sleeved. And unfortunately very thick!

long road 02-06-2023 06:24 PM

Well it wil give you something to think about other than being too hot! XD

Avast. I hadn't thought of that. Jacket it is then.

Cacoethes 02-06-2023 06:32 PM

True! But i don't want to risk missing a bus due to needing the toilet!

Yep, looks like it!

long road 02-06-2023 06:41 PM

That is fair. I didn't realise you had multiple buses to catch

Just about to have dinner. We are having Bolognese from the freezer that we have thawed out and then reheated with some pasta.

Cacoethes 02-06-2023 06:47 PM

Yeah, only 2 though. Could be worse!

Lovely! I hope you enjoy it!
Do you have cheese to go with it?

long road 02-06-2023 06:56 PM

Yep we had cheddar cheese. It was a really good Bolognese as well, some turn out a bit watery.

Now about to attempt to rest so I can roleplay shortly

nonperson 02-06-2023 07:01 PM

Evening folks.

Mmmm bolognese.

Cacoethes 02-06-2023 07:03 PM

Lovely!

Hello np!
How are you?

long road 02-06-2023 07:29 PM

Hello NP!

I am just starting my roleplaying game just chit-chatting while we wait for the last player to arrive.

nonperson 02-06-2023 07:31 PM

Hello!

Did I read something about disturbing an alien nest?

I'm ok. Tired as usual. And a bit cold o.O

long road 02-06-2023 07:36 PM

We have invaded a ruined alien temple to stop the big evil robot alien waking up and destroying the universe. And just accidentally interrupted a meeting between his number 2 and a load of his alien friends/underlings

Cold in this weather? Is it a diabetes thing?

Cacoethes 02-06-2023 07:42 PM

Have fun jen!

Cold??

The boys keep arguing.
Well, Merry keeps antagonising poor pippin for no reason

long road 02-06-2023 07:46 PM

Poor Pippin!

nonperson 02-06-2023 07:49 PM

Goodness, I hope you can get out of that exciting mess, Jen! =P

Yep, cold! I don't think it's a diabetes thing (might blame it on that though). It's probably a "been out in the hot all day and now inside in the shade" thing.

(I can't seem to stop using brackets tonight...)

Merry needs a time out.

Cacoethes 02-06-2023 07:54 PM

Merry can be such a d*ck sometimes!
He does need a time out!

Tbh, I'm a lot cooler in the house than i was when i went out.
(Brackets ftw!)

long road 02-06-2023 08:02 PM

I will keep you posted on if we can get out of the exciting mess! However my first shot missed so that is not a great omen!

nonperson 02-06-2023 08:12 PM

But that's why you have a team of people to help!

I like that Merry and Pippin have such different personalities =P

Cacoethes 02-06-2023 08:32 PM

Oh no jen!
Don't get killed my aliens pls!

They really do.
Pretty sure Merry is a sociopath. Because whenever pippin freezes or runs away from him, he starts popcorning! (A sign of happiness/excitement)

I'm gonna go to bed.
I don't even care that it's only 8:30! I'm shattered and took meds early.
So.i bid you all goodnight!

long road 02-06-2023 08:32 PM

Only one of my teammates as has hit so far. However we all dodged the reality breaking *beam weapon

tamobhuuta 02-06-2023 08:37 PM

I'm off to bed too. Night all!

nonperson 02-06-2023 08:39 PM

Nooooo, you're all leaving D=

Goodnight and sleep well Beckie and Tamo!

Keep at it Jen.

long road 02-06-2023 08:56 PM

Ooh we have put two of them down. The problem is this type of alien can regenerate!

Don't worry Beckie even I did get killed it's not the real me thats dead just my character.

Night guys! Sleep well xx

nonperson 02-06-2023 09:03 PM

That is a relief to know it's only your character that could die. Phew!

I know right XD good thing I am not playing something like squid game XD

Currently we are a slight impasse as we knock them down but they get back up again.

nonperson 02-06-2023 09:31 PM

I know someone has explained squid game to me before but I cannot remember what it is!

Hmmmm there must be a secret weakness that you are failing to find?

long road 02-06-2023 09:40 PM

I haven't watched it but have gathered it's a Korean fictional netflix show where people compete and children's and other games to try and win a load of money but if you lose you die.

We have identified the weakness one of the leaders has a magic orb but we can't get through to him right now. Depending on how this round of shooting goes I either charge in through some temporarily down guys or rin round through the back door! To try and take out regen orb thing

nonperson 02-06-2023 09:50 PM

Righto. I'm glad you mentioned that it was fictional.

Sounds like a plan!

long road 02-06-2023 09:54 PM

I thought it was an important clarification!

The shooting opened a gap and we have advanced up to the leader dude.

What's occuring with you?

nonperson 02-06-2023 09:57 PM

It was! Although I'd probably have believed it was a Korean reality show.

Omg, this is tense just reading about it!

Nothing much. I'm bored, just eaten a very odd dinner and am watching Venom.

long road 02-06-2023 10:07 PM

I think the fact that it is semi plausible as a Korean reality show was part of the plot point.

We are on tenterhooks. The bad guys are reflecting bullets back at us with their forcefields! But we have managed to dodge nearly all of them.

I finally saw Venom at Christmas. I really liked it. Colour me intrigued, wat was your very odd dinner?

nonperson 02-06-2023 10:13 PM

I love Venom. Still haven't got round to watching the "new" one though!

Samosas and onion rings, because that seemed more acceptable than samosas and chips, or samosas and hash browns. =P

long road 02-06-2023 10:30 PM

I also have not watched number 2. Would like to though and I have Disney plus courtesy of family so maybe that's my next movie night.

Hey it's food. It's like you went to a buffet! And samosas have veg in them. And onions are veg.

long road 02-06-2023 10:30 PM

I do think chips would have been acceptable though Welsh people do half and half with a curry. Half rice half chips. And samosas are filled with curry.

nonperson 02-06-2023 10:33 PM

Chips just seemed wrong somehow! But I am not Welsh so maybe that's why.

long road 02-06-2023 10:36 PM

To clarify its an option in Wales I don't know if all people chose this option. Some may concur with you.

long road 02-06-2023 10:36 PM

Also pasty and chips is a thing down here in South west and samosas are the Indian version of a pasty.

nonperson 02-06-2023 10:39 PM

I'd have pasty and chips! I like your reasoning. Feel I might've made the wrong choice now.

long road 02-06-2023 10:40 PM

We have survived! Defeated the alien robots in this encounter. But the big bads number 2 did teleport away.

Well now if the choice occurs again you can make that choice. :P

nonperson 02-06-2023 11:01 PM

I will definitely make that choice next time!

Wooo! That is a relief and an epic achievement. When is the movie coming out? =P

long road 02-06-2023 11:15 PM

No movie but I have made extensive notes during the campaign and could potentially make a book. We have been playing since May 2020. Barring a few months off when I was hospitalised and a month off when another player was hospitalised. (We have not had the best luck) (Although fortunately GM and player3 have avoided hospital time!)

Ooh brackets!

Cacoethes 03-06-2023 05:16 AM
