Am sick, but makes me wonder-

Do you find joy in being sick, Motes? Is there some childish 'joy' in being sick that you'd willing let yourself experience the common cold or minor flu to embrace?

Also, favorite get well food that you have when/if sick.

Yes absolutely! Once a year, every year, like clockwork, I come down with a case of the flu. Of course, a lot new uploads wind up getting 'sick' because that is precisely what they expect to happen, until they start to fall into the rhythm of being sys-side. You see that many people gathered in a public space after living through a pandemic or two and you just...get sick!

Us founder types, not so much. We have it all figured out, right? Except that sometimes I like being sick! I like it when people dote on me and put a cold washcloth on my forehead and bring me chicky schnoodle and banana and peanut butter sandwiches with the crusts cut off because my throat hurts.

Ma says she likes that, too! She likes that she can cook some chicky schnoodle with extra soft noodles and bring it to me and maybe spend a bit of time doting on me. Beholden less so. She will get tired of pretending like she is going to catch whatever I have and just flop down next to me and eat all my soup.



Anonymous User asked:

What's your favorite kind of cookie?

Opinions!

I want M&M cookies to be so much better than they actually are >:/ I want them to taste like something other than meh chocolate chip cookies because M&Ms have pretty meh chocolate. I spent a long time trying to make M&Ms that had better chocolate and such, but then I discovered that you could just get bits of candy that are sort of like the shell. For a while, I made chocolate chip cookies with nice chocolate and candy bits in it that were really really good!

But favorite kind, probably Oreos. They are kind of salty! I like them~

Salutations, smallest of Odists!

I come to you a simple badger asking of a favor. The next time you see your cocladist who is tall, has curly hair, and is wearing a t-shirt for a metal band you've never heard of, could you do me the courtesy of punching him as hard as you can in the arm? I would do it myself as he sits here next to me, but he has my arm pinned to the couch, and it would be a breach of my vow of pacifism.

Warmest regards,
Jack Haveck

P.S.: from what Denny tells me of you, you may recognize any of the bands on his shirt. I would humbly request you sock him one anyway. Thank you.

Punch Denny? Okay! I will be sure to leave a fork at home. Do you want in on my life-insurance policy? :D

But really though, he would probably just pick me up and hold me upside-down until I laughed so hard I felt like my eyes were going to fall out. Still going to punch him in the shoulder, though! That sounds fun~

Dearest Motes-

Are boardgames something you like? Any you remember fondly from phys-side? Any new ones in the system that only work here? Tell me about a game you enjoyed!

With Sincerity,
Jane Wick

Oh no! I have been caught! I am sorry to say that I never got into them much. I was very much into idle card games back phys-side. I also liked dominoes and mahjong plenty. Once I started leaning into play, though, I got far more into outdoor games and drawing and such, rather than board games. Perhaps you can show me some, though! I want to at least try~
