real important announcement, some new residents moved in today. like this one. she's cody, she lives on floor 3 with me and miss christopher now and so far she likes hoodies n snacks so i reckon she'll fit in good. don't take it too personal if she's all "whoa who's that idk what i think about them yet" for a bit seeing as she missed orientation last month.

anyways this is all i'm gonna talk about for the next half year so like. fyi.

Oh! In Wyoming? I had no idea that was named after Buffalo Bill. [...] Was Bill his last name? Is that a stupid que

Fingers crossed! I don't know why Skittles is being so rude about her.

[coulee]

yeah!!! you been? and cody was.

idk it's not like she RSVPed, maybe he thought it was bad manners

[sticks_and_stones]

Never, but I memorized a bunch of 'notable towns' in high school, but clearly facts about them! Cody makes more sense as a last name than Bill.

There are no manners required when there's a storm!! But maybe they just need time to warm up to each other.

[coulee]

and you STILL remember all that????

from real far away. real real far away.

[sticks_and_stones]

I do! A lot of things stick in my brain. Mostly school stuff, though.

Yes, we shouldn't force it!! But maybe we can get them to slowly become friends!

[coulee]

fuckin impressive bro

it WOULD be cool if i can just like walk in, flop on your couch, n let miss chris loose

[sticks_and_stones]

It's Oh It's nothing, really. I can be pretty good at trivia, though.

Wouldn't it?? We could like... have a little wine night! There's cat wine!

[coulee]

[...] DIBS @p.starling SHE'S ON MY TEAM

oh fuck i'm SO into wine night.

[philomathean]

AUGH! NOOOOO!!! Congrats!

[sticks_and_stones]

??? Are you into trivia, too?

[philomathean]

Every day that passes where I don’t learn something new, a little piece of me dies. And an angel loses its wings, while we’re at it.

So, that’s a yes.

[coulee]

bro how've we ever gotten along

[philomathean]

Probably the mind control. Hard work and perseverance?

[sticks_and_stones]

Isn't learning fun?? No, that sounds lame. Well, it sounds like we'll definitely get along, then. Even if we're on opposing trivia teams. In high school especially I just read everything I could get my hands on. What's your favorite area thing to learn about?

[philomathean]

No doubt! Don't worry, I am very sportsmanlike.

That's a great question. I don't know. I'm honestly interested in everything. I guess I would say that I like to ... wonder ... the most? It's not in my field, but I read a lot of philosophy and just sit around like 🤔💭

What about you?

[rainbowfish]

Who were you about to axe?

[philomathean]

Not you. Dynamic Duo :)

[rainbowfish]

Choosing to believe this is true because I need the ego boost.

[philomathean]

Raine, you are so smart! And a kind friend! And your brand is so cool and mysterious!!!

[sticks_and_stones]

[sticks_and_stones]

[...] Oh! There is trivia at the bar, isn't there? Do you go a lot?

I think there's dog wine too. Maybe we should start with a Skittles and Cody wine night.

[coulee]

sometimes yeah, crowds aren't usually my speed but i like watching everybody know their stuff. i'm not good at it though.

how close does it taste to real wine

[sticks_and_stones]

It doesn't matter if you're good at it as long as you're having fun, right? I'm not really competitive.

Oh, I've never tried it. [...] If it's fine for dogs it must be fine for humans, right? [...] I'll order some cat and dog wine.

[coulee]

aw yeah THAT's my speed.

like how dog food's fine for people! i want to see if rufus'd drink it and tell us if it tastes like a real wine but i also want him to keep talkin to me. so i probably shouldn't.

[emulsify]

noted. what's the team name?
