[Network] - [Video]

[deal_me_in]

So! Good news! No more creepy things with mouth-faces running around.

Bad news, we're all out of drinks. Looks like someone went and had a party while we were being invaded and though I don't frown upon being resourceful in ways to burn things up, that does make for a problem when you run a bar.

Now, slightly better news? I may have a few bottles of my secret stash so we're not completely dry here, but we're still limited, so if you're looking to get sloshed, just do everyone a favor and stick to the red juice, should get you there in one, maybe two glasses.

[ What's up, network at large? ]

So, after that disaster, I just have a question: Is anyone here from an actually normal, at least relatively not messed up, kind of place?

[ Honestly a serious question. Brought to you by someone from an absolute dumpster fire of a town. ]

Because aside from being home to everything in every HP Lovecraft story apparently, where I'm from is where dreams and ambition go to die, in the makeshift graveyards of its flat lands and corn fields. It's really great if you're looking for a quiet small town to raise a nuclear family and mind the business of everyone except yourself. Oh, and you'd better have an easily malleable attitude about it and enjoy your new home of a suffocating box, otherwise if you show even a hint of personality that doesn't fit into that idea — forget it, you're so screwed.

[ Is someone finally getting mad enough about her own suffocating box? MAYBE SO. This is how she's trying to light it on metaphorical fire. mic drop, truth bombs deployed, et cetera. ]

Which almost makes me wonder if the cosmic horrors are actually worse than everything else about it. [ It should at least be very close. ]
