no little boxes

Ariadne Cardin, 21, linguistics or something major at UNLV/WNMU. Not that it actually matters. I guess you could say college is more of an obligational hobby. I like abbreviations, wordplay, and fun.

[thefuckedup-rae]

One month in and I wanna drop out already.

College is clearly not for me.

[ariamygawd]

Or you could just be taking gen eds. College is less awful than high school. Objectively.

[ariamygawd]

I... Well, I graduated.

After a transcript mess and all. So I guess that means that, well, I should probably leave?

[pornshopparker]

Apparently. Guess I’ll stick to realism with a dash of mild pessimism.

Hey, that’s my home you’re insulting. May not mean much to you, but it’s been my home for almost fifteen years. I’m a bit attached to it.

[ariamygawd]

Well make sure not to get your attitude spiked further... Sorry, that was rude.

Well I'm not, and you can feel free to shit on Vegas if it floats your boat.

[alba-lisbon]

"I’m sorry, but if this heat keeps up I’m going to be at least 80% naked this entire summer."

[ariamygawd]

Then you wouldn't be naked. Besides, more of you is covered than you think when you wear clothing.

[pornshopparker]

No, well, I mean, maybe. I was just doing a poor job of reminding you that the glass doesn’t have to be half empty, apparently.

So, what are your summer plans here in Silver City, then?

[ariamygawd]

Uh huh? Well this optimism thing is overrated and you really shouldn't bother. Apparently.

Get educated? Try not to be stifled by the shitty state of this sad excuse for a city?

[pornshopparker]

Better than the alternative, being stuck in a foreign country away from your family, friends, and having to work 50 hours a week.

[ariamygawd]

Well, uh, there's always alternatives, but that one didn't actually sound possible for me. You seem a little pissed at the world, yeah?

[tristanlithorn]

That makes two of us. Cheers

Silver City is just booming with excitement. Amirite or amirite?

[ariamygawd]

So what are we toasting with?

You're so right. But let's not be stating the obvious or people might think you're gloating.

[trent-lawrence]

I’m sure I’ll piss my pants in excitement, gad-fucking-zooks. 

[ariamygawd]

What are you planning on doing with your joyous summer? Sun-watching?

[trent-lawrence]

Oh yeah. Who doesn’t want to spend their entire fucking summer in SCENIC Silver City, right? Fucking kill me now god.

[ariamygawd]

Our tourism is booming this time of year. Our famed tumbleweed festival draws dozens each decade. Excited?

[ariamygawd]

Stuck here for the summer. Such fun. Right?

[camillasgrace]

That’s not cheating, Ari, that’s like— it’s part of the game. It’s an enhancement. But fine, no Free Parking. I’m still gonna win.

[ariamygawd]

It's an inane way to keep the game going artificially and without skill. And you'll win when cats fly.

[camillasgrace]

I haven’t been practicing. I could have just been having a really bad day that time we played, play me again, I bet I’ll bankrupt you.

[ariamygawd]

Oh, yeah? You're on. And we're not playing with Free Parking. No cheaters' way out this time.

[camillasgrace]

That was a really long time ago. I could have gotten way better.

[ariamygawd]

You could have... Or you definitely didn't. Who practices Monopoly? It's an innate thing.

[camillasgrace]

Super happy to announce that I can still double dutch with the best of them.

[ariamygawd]

At least you're better at that than Monopoly.

[tristanlithorn]

Right? Once, I counted three in the span of an hours. Can you believe that? Three. It was cuh-raaaaaazy.

Highlight of my summer, yo

[ariamygawd]

Whoa. Once I happened upon a colony of the little suckers. They got away before I could do anything about them. Little pests.

Where'd you find all that energy?

[tristanlithorn]

That was good ol’ American, yeehaw.

But to be serious, I did not suffer any injuries to the head or otherwise, I’m merely excited to be back in the super exciting town of Silver City where everything happens.

[ariamygawd]

All right. Just trying to pick up on where you hail from with all that.

It's entirely exciting. Have you ever played the tumbleweed counting game? Sick and tight.

[tristanlithorn]

Whaddup, SIlver City? Anyone miss me too badly?

As y’all nerds can see, I’m not lying dead in a ditch from too much weed intake I wish or locked up by the popo and all I’ll say is that I’m back and ready to partaaaaay

[ariamygawd]

I'm not even sure that was English. You didn't get hit upside the head, dd you?
