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?

    ((OOC: So, I am still here (at least, while ACP is still a thing, then I have to tether my phone to my laptop, send it's internet to Ethernet to my router and setup my other laptop to access that... I managed it once totally by accident)... updating stuff I'm working on is not a fun process (if anyone checks my stories folder on my Google Drive) anymore... the laptop at my desk is old (Core 2 Duo, 2Ghz, 4 gigs RAM, Win7 Ultimate)... Chrome won't update, Drive won't work... I'm stuck using FreeFileSync to keep stuff up to datep things synced. I have plans of getting a job and having money to have something better (a doorstop is better)

    [continuing] I'm sorry if any of my posts are/could be inflammatory or anything... some of them are stuff I've had in the pipeline for a while, and I messed with it enough to get it postable... that's why there are dates showing when I started working on stuff... I'm not, and never have been, trying to step on anyone's toes or say "this is how it should be"... I have no say here, not sure who does these days (like I posted... maybe this is a test to see if we devolve into chaos). Posts like Hierarchy were started long ago, and meant as a guideline and not because I'm the voice of Sauron.

    [continuing] I don't have the time to be here a whole lot, I don't have much beyond mom to help with my rent (and once I have a job, that'll take up more time, though I will keep working on stuff (both for here and not) as often as possible, and post when possible on here. I have a question that needs some clarification... being that we are supposed to get permission from the person if we use their character in an addition/story/post, how would that apply if the character is core to the universe (like Carmen... I can replace @Chase, maybe cobble someone into @Ivy's place... but, like @Carmen, being that she's a major character, as long as I don't have her acting or write a major part for her, would that circumvent the rule at all?

    [continuing] I'm just curious... the absence of the major's leaves a gap that I'm not sure what to do with anything... we (the Left Behind) could do a story together (or some stories separate), and that'd be cool, but without being able to use any major's, I'm not sure where to take anything. And, yeah... you can probably guess what my typing is like here (or anyplace else)... I type here or in Word, I type something (or notepad), and 15-20+ seconds later it shows up, so I have to stay on top of my grammar and spelling. I have to keep on top of all that, because I'm working on the big Carmen story at the same time, so I can't slip off my game.))

    @Jon Eckart Not exactly sure if I understand all your computer probs. I hope you get those resolved soon. Yes, I have many probs with my basic Google Chrome, too. I think it's fair to say we all have a love/hate relationship with technology. 😆 As far as your stories are concerned, you can use any cannon character you like, whether there is a person playing that role on here or not. Say the story is a fanfiction; and that the version of Chase, or Carmen (or whoever) from the computer games, gameshow (or whatever). We don't do Netflix Carmen, mostly because of the violence. And because it is fanfiction, you can also create other characters and situations to suit your story. Now, Chase, Carme, Ivy (or whoever) were here, of course, you would ask their permission; tell them your idea; and if they like it they might write it with you. 🙂

    @Jon Eckart Now, if you for a friendship with someone on--and off-site, you might form a partnership with them, and write stories together (like Chase and Carmen; or Chase and Ivy; or Lucy and I) and then you will just put a statement saying that this story is a co-write with whoever. In fact, if you collaborate with this person a lot, people will just assume they have your permission; although you should always say it anyway, just as a common courtesy. In fact, ironically, the only people whose permission you must always ask to use their characters are "original" characters, who are creations of their individual writers (which most of us on here, are) specifically because we are not cannon. I hope that makes sense. 🙂

    @Jon Eckart Now, if you want to write something, but don't have a lot of time, I would suggest posting a status; or replying to someone else's status. Or you could start a guessing game. Look under Forums/Guessing Games, and look at some things other people have done, to give you ideas. I hope that helps. 🙂
