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.

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?

[coulee]

ok but mostly pot n turtles, right

[philomathean]

Turtles?

[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?

[sticks_and_stones]

I look forward to our intellectual battle! :)

What a nice way to think about it. And I also just sort of love everything. It's so fun to learn something completely new, to expand your horizons. [...] I think I probably tend more towards the concrete vs. things like philosophy, but I'm always happy to learn anything, honestly.

[philomathean]

We should team up some time! I'm willing to stab Rory and my fiancé in the back in the name of new friendship.

[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!!!

[...] 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.

[sticks_and_stones]

Perfect teammates, then :)

Exactly! Oh, you're bad, don't make poor Rufus do anything. You and I can both try a little bit before we pour Cody and Skittles their [...] goblets? What's appropriate for pet wine?

[coulee]

🤝🥰 and i wouldn't MAKE him i'd ASK him. all nicely.

glasses we taped to the table??

[emulsify]

noted. what's the team name?
