This is a perpetual game, to be played in-character or out.

It starts with a question. When someone replies to this question they must ask the next question, starting with the phrase 'That last time you...?' (Yes, questions may repeat.)

I will begin: "The last time you felt the weight of the world upon your shoulders?"

Probably last week, when I was asked by a certain blonde to switch places with somebody. A few hours in, I realized I may have not been given a fair and complete overview of the situation.

"The last time... you were anxious about something otherwise completely normal?"

Right before leaving for Harbin, I had to feed Carmine. I was anxious because I didn't know how she'd take to being left behind again. I was lucky she bought the 'it's too cold where we're going and you don't like the cold' reason I gave.

When was the last time you experienced great happiness?

I was in Spain, my contact had me on a schedule of a siesta at 6 PM, waking up at
9 PM, then having dinner at 1 AM. I had 3 days to prepare for it, then 3 days to readjust back to normalcy after the mission.



The last time you felt like yourself, in your own skin?

Not too long ago, someone apologized for something without prompt. I didn't know it was needed, but the weight that was lifted afterwards surprised me. I had to reevaluate everything else up to that point.


The last time you did something only for yourself?

Honestly... I can say it has been a while. Maybe last year? I lost track haha. I tend to put everyone before myself. I am hoping to try and unlock a part of me that says it can be alright to be a bit selfish in a way.

The last time you saw a very interesting movie that changed how you view things?

I recently saw /lived through a hallucination that felt like a bad gangster movie.
It made me realize that a passive non-lethal stance won't be able to protect us.
We can be non-lethal, and mostly non-violent unless provoked, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't have certain tricks up our sleeves to help us flee or incapacitate certain foes....but let's not get into that right now.


When was the last time you rebelled against authority?

(OOC For myself that was in high school, the admin did nothing for kids being picked on, or gave less than helpful advice. So I set about to change that, picked way to many fights, and got in less trouble due to an angelic reputation. Things did change in the end, but if I could go back I would find a better way of doing it. I dont regret any of it, if someone does not stand up for us, nor ourselves how can things change. I admit I had leaned a lot, took a lot of miscalculated risks and all. )

'That last time you just enjoyed learning something new, ?

(When I decided to move across the country for my job.) The day I accepted the offer to come work for ACME.

When was the last time you did something for the first time? (Sorry, I've had that song stuck in my head since I first read the title of this)

Seriously though, when was the last time you did something you instantly regretted?

Moving stuff in is gonna be a struggle (wall outside main door is like a 60-degree angle)... big desk (mine), big entertainment center (the folks), "things" are gonna be weird (no privacy). The folks want it (gas stove in an apartment, claw-foot bathtub)... not all of our stuff comes apart nicely))

    ((IRL: @Lucy2... You may have to just start a new account (if the system lets you)... we don't know who all has admin access, so 'password recover emails' might not get seen or dealt with. If you do, I'd suggest a new account, and a series of posts linking to the old account. Keep in mind, we're in Minnesota, so cold is a thing... if you wanna trade, we're open to place tickets! We can't really do anything until we hear from the appeal guy... anytime between the 19th and December 5th, so in theory move-out could be end of December (unless it gets here before the end of this month) or maybe they can stay... no idea. So, the other place door... that's what we'd have to fit everything through.))

    ((So... the latest is that the woman who reported the folks to the police, called the guy who handled the appeal (after we left the room) and told him that if he doesn't make sure to get the folks out of the building, she'd make things difficult for him. The property manager told ma a few days ago, and ma told me today. So, anyone know what that would be called? Coercing, bribery, influence peddling? Would that invalidate the eviction? This is Section 8 housing, so low-income housing. The appeal decision should in theory get here next week or maybe Friday, and they can appeal again, maybe this one would be in real court... don't know. I will advise the folks contact legal aid and see what they say.))

    ((Correction: the parents are caving, they are planning for the move ON January 1st, without waiting to hear what the appeal decision is, and not willing to fight it. I stormed out of their place tonight (punched the call button for the elevator... they may have heard it), because I know they could win the second appeal hands down (they don't want "more of the stress from all this", they would discuss shit when I went to the bathroom tonight). I reminded them they may not get the entertainment center through the door to the apartment, we probably will have to take the claw legs off the table for the first time ever, but they have their heart set on it. ))

Once we leave this place (section 8/low-income housing, the waiting list is over 2 years), that's it... the building manager retires later 2025... she pulled a string to get me in here))

    Did you know.....The original candy canes were straight sugar sticks that were often used to decorate Christmas trees. The first historical reference to the cane shape was in 1670, when the choirmaster at Cologne Cathedral in Germany bent the sugar sticks into the shape of a shepherd's staff. Candy canes remained white until the early 20th century when red stripes and peppermint flavor became popular.
