Spacesuitmocha,

That's the hard part, isn't it? Be too honest and if people don't respond well to it and you're just left with that, be too careful and people are going to claim you're not being honest enough. People are complicated.

There is something much more unsettling about small animals, this is true. I'd take a bear over a bunch of angry squirrels.

I don't think there are many other magic towns, that's supposed to be the selling point of this place, right?

Future business plan I guess; disaster related business model. Going to have to start developing squirrel nets or something, corner that untapped market.

@sparrowconspiracy

People are definitely fucking complicated.

Yeah, you can at least see something huge coming. Squirrels would just ambush you from the trees or something.

Next shared dream trip: Dystopia where our only hope is Kronk from Chippa's as emissary to broker peace with man-eating squirrels.

Hello,

That is tragic. I am sorry if you knew her.

The whole thing sounds dramatic.

And that makes me feel a little better. lol

Why does Swynlake have a prom??

Regards, SlowCyclone

Sup,

Yeah, I sort of did. She was pretty cool.

Oh yeah, whole thing in a small town.

I have no idea. Small town quirk I guess. It was here before me and it will continue to probably exist as long as people like dressing up on theme.

Hey,

Funny. So am I. Shoot your shot, you know?

Unclear on that one. I feel like I wouldn't be super resistant to anything romantic happening but I also don't find pixels on computers particularly alluring, even if computers themselves are a pretty great technological advancement. Also, to be honest (which I've been doing a lot of), I don't trust extremely easily and there's a lot to hide behind anonymity. So, I think the environmental factors bit of your statement applies to my overall feelings. This is kind of the first contact.

Oh yeah, most businesses participate. I don't know what the deal is going to be this year since Pixie's is not around anymore and they had the biggest party complete with the most annoying glitter canon. But maybe Pierot's will come out with something bigger or better.

Prom isn't half bad either.

-SM

PS-- I respect it. Someone's got to do the dangerous shit so science can advance. Kind of a sign of an adrenaline junkie though, are you a risk taker?

Hello,

Wow, I am sad I missed that party, sounds like a real treat. There used to be another club before Pierrot? Of course, I only know of Pierrot. I haven't been here super long, after all. I assume the change happened less than a year ago?

Prom? There is a prom? You're not in high school, are you? Or reminiscing about high school? (Nearly as bad.)

Regards, SlowCyclone

PS -- Agreed. And yes, when it suits me. You?

@spacesuitmocha

Salutations,

Oh yeah, big deal, ran by a fairy. She unfortunately passed. Sad time for all. And her shotgun wedding husband inherited the place and made Pierrot. Changing of hands happened back around like June/July. Took them a while to renovate.

I am definitely not in high school. It's an adult prom. And you couldn't catch me reminiscing about my high school prom. I don't know why people do.

-SM

PS-- What's life without a little risk.

@subtlemegaminded

I do really like engineering.

New Zealand does look pretty, I get wanting to go there.

I don't blame you, I haven't traveled much in the UK either. I'm not originally from here so maybe it just took me a while to acclimate before I wanted to branch out further. Travel could be in the future.

-SM

subtlemegaminded

hi spacesuitmocha!

that's super cool! is there any specific type of engineering youre into or just a general love of all?

yeah, i think im also just both 1. a scaredy cat to travel 2. incredibly lazy. having to book all the stuff and packing and all the worries of being away from home always make me go, "aaaand what if i just stayed home? what then?" which i know isn't a good mindset rip.

from,

megamind

@spacesuitmocha

@subtlemegaminded

I'd say all engineering is pretty impressive to me. At first I was really just into mechanical but I've also found a pretty nice interest for electrical and computer as well.

A scaredy cat and lazy, selling yourself there megamind. So you're saying you're just extremely type B?

-SM

~SpaceHawk

Habit Hawk,

Yeah, I've learned through this whole e-mail experience that I can get a pretty nice fan club.

I don't know really. Some people are still a little bit of a mystery to me but I think the people I'm most curious about are probably the most promising.

Have you found anyone for your very-serious-done-fucking-around relationship? ;p

-SM

SM,

that doesn't surprise me. You seem like a pretty likable person. So I hope you have brought together a pretty good fan club.

I get that. There are still a few people I've found harder to read or get a sense of what they might want.

I might have? But it's hard to say without actually meeting them in person as well. There's only so much that emails can do after all.

~ habitualhawk ~

@spacesuitmocha

Habitualhawk,

You know, I'd like to think I'm pretty likeable, but this is a nice confirmation based on personality alone I guess.

Yeah, its hard to really distinguish tone. Is it flirty? Is it friendly? Is there that bouncing off one another in a more than friend way? Hard to figure out over text.

Are you planning on putting some giant wings on and going to that end of letter party then?

-SM

Blink,

Paint dry watching is an extremely popular hobby. Almost as good as repeatedly thudding your head against a wall. Theoretically, if golf weren't so slow paced, I probably would like watching it more. The clapping alone is enough to make me change the channel.

Yeah well, odds are super low of that happening, I'm sure. But you never know what weird magic is around.

Carting forward,

SM

@guardedblink

SM,

I think repeatedly thudding your head against a wall's got a bit more potential to see stars at least. hahahaha. Yeah well there's the flaw with golf isn't it?

Shhh don't say that. Somehow you'll end up speaking it to existence instead and then the two of us are gonna be sitting there gaping like a fish as they duke it out.

seeing stars, guardedblink

@spacesuitmocha

Blink,

That is true. Who would've thought I'd be advocating for thudding your head against a wall.

Maybe if they're scary towards each other we can just slowly back away and they won't notice lol.

Sneaking off,

SM

Dear Mocha,

I know, how disappointing, i just get to talk to you and learn so much more about you and your intriguing personality ;)

Thats good to know<3 I'll keep it in mind, especially if we meet in person 😘

yeah that makes sense. i guess with a date we could plan a place to start and just see where it goes. and see which of our impulsive asses is the first to derail the plans haha

lately, i havent felt like i've had a ton of freetime, but usually what i like to do is hang out w friends or watch tv. sometimes i'll do little crafts while i watch tv like adding patches to clothes or bags or something or just going a little wild with a bedazzler. really any craft there is, i've tried it at least once 😅

As far as a good partner, i feel like what makes someone that is their ability to listen and be there for you, even when they're going through something of their own. And not like, taking on your troubles as well, but just acknowledging that sometimes everyone's got problems and you're not the only one struggling with thing. Also communication is v important too haha.

What about you? Same questions and also if you had to have any wild animal as a pet, what would it be?

💕gossamerbumblebee

@spacesuitmocha

Dear Bumble,

Intriguing personality huh. Is that your way of saying my personality is attractive, maybe even hot?

Ouch, still an 'if'? ;) Thought my intriguing personality was doing a little better than that.

The best route is the one you least expect in my opinion.

I think I've got at least one jacket lying around that can be messed with. So if you've got any fun improvements, I might request something from you.

I have kind of limited free time. I've got a job and I'm doing a few classes as well. Mostly I'll put on some tv or maybe go explore NTO or Besydus. Depends on how much I want to be outside that day lol.

Yeah, I'd say communication is definitely something that has to be there. I'm not gonna lie, I say stupid shit sometimes. I'm not perfect. But if I were to ever say something that hurt my partner's feelings, I'd want them to tell me. As far as listening and being there for you, that's also really important. For me, there also might be some patience required. See the 'stupid shit' above.

But to start, chemistry is pretty important and I like someone who challenges me to think differently.

A pangolin. What does that say about me?

-SM

slowcyclone >> spacesuitmocha

Hello,

I tend to be that person in most of my relationships. Making the first move, that is.

Are you looking for more than just friends? I have made a few connections, but I do not believe this is the best way to assess romantic compatibility. Perhaps for some people, but we are animals in our most base ways and that makes us prone to instinctual likes and dislikes of people based on environmental factors.

Do they have a lot of pride events in town?

Regards, SlowCyclone

PS -- More storm chasing than meterology, not that I've ever actually been. Have been tempted to try it before though. Seems thrilling.

Hello!

I have actually found a few potentials, but I'd love to take this opportunity to explore more connections. What if we meet in person and the person I'm talking to was, like, my bully from secondary school? They still live here. And are still single, I saw on Instagram their girlfriend dumped them about six months ago. Six months is perfect rebound time.

What about you?

By breaking a glo-stick and shaking it out all over it!

~ LS

LS,

Hey, that's pretty great that you've got some potentials.

If that does happen and it doesn't end well. I can't stand bullies, so if you need me to fight them I will. Hands ready to be thrown.

Also, unless you're American, and even then, it's a pretty big country, you don't have to worry about be being your secondary bully.

I've talked to some people. Hard to determine if I've found more than friends, definitely some cheering section friends though apparently. People being on "my side" or in "my corner" so that feels not too bad.

Ah a good thought, didn't immediately think of that one. I knew a kid once who bit on one of those trick or treating, no idea why, and he just exploded it all over himself and started crying. Lucky it was nontoxic. On second thought, probably not a great story to tell. But, hey, you know, those are the kinds of stories I tell. I won't delete this bit.

I was thinking more like that screaming seagull meme but instead there's like a beam of light opening from its mouth. Maybe that shows that I'm a little too chronically online.

-SM

~SpaceHawk

SM,

That's true. They can be pretty intense. Either way, you've got one person rooting for you guaranteed.

Have you had any other interesting match ups?

Luminous-seagull,

Hey, guess we've been paired up. Figured I'd make the first move.

Did you not find what you're looking for yet?

Also, how does a seagull become luminous?

Blink,

Yeah, you gotta be a little weird to accept everything in living here haha.

Close, think you missed an o there bud. A confused story arc huh but not due to interests. Interesting, interesting. Golf is pretty boring to watch, I do kind of like the physics behind it all and I've smacked the shit out of a ball once or twice at one of those 'we try to make you drunk and snack so you buy more food with us' driving range places. Took a lot of tries to do it but you know, if Happy Gilmore can do it.

Or its like amplifying soundwaves and we all perish.

It is clear I'm ever the optimist.

Realistically,

Mocha

Mocha,

sooo true. Gotta embrace your weird for real.

Eh it's close enough. I mean I guess if you want to like hit golf balls off a roof or something dumb like that it might be fun. But real golf is like watching paint dry. Probably. I don't really spend time watching paint dry either.

Ahh... you know fair point. Painting a bleak picture here, but you know what? felt. And a real possibility.

Embracing the weird, Blink

I think so too. I'm happy to continue to support you getting out of the funk no matter how things turn out. You'll have me in your corner. Your supportive hawk so to speak.

Hello,

I am reaching out as we were matched for the Swynlake’s Got Mail Event. We both requested more matches. Have you not been making many connections?

I admit I cannot answer the prompt today, as I am still quite new to town, but I would be interested if you had any suggestions for events to attend.

Regards, Slow Cyclone

PS -- i like your name. are you an astrophysicist or just a fan?

@spacesuitmocha

Hey,

I appreciate you for reaching out, someone's gotta make the first move.

I've been making some connections but I don't think any of them are more than just friends to be honest at this point. Just the vibe I'm getting. So I figure if there's more out there why not try.

Have you also not been making connections?

Truthfully I haven't been to a ton of annual events. I've been here a couple years. Pride is always a good time though.

-SM

PS, not an astrophysicist but I can definitely appreciate some great feats of engineering

PSS-- Are you into storm chasing or meteorology?

@slowcyclone

~SpaceBlink

SM,

you know, if our minds aren't a little bit strange in some way, idk how we'd last in this quirky little down. Unique minds are made for this place.

yeah I know, I'm a conniseur?? of high art? idk how to spell that word sue me. I might have had a mild confused little story arc, but not cause of the sports taking over. Golf courses are probably safe tho. That's the most boring sport in the world.

Ahh that bad huh? Man, we really do have some intense relatives. May they never meet. Or if they do maybe they somehow counteract their intensity and it becomes neutral or something.

neutralizing, guardedblink

~SpaceHawk

Spacesuitmocha,

Right. I agree with you there. It really doesn't take much effort at all to not be an asshole. I do think so, but you are welcome to make your own judgement if and when we meet.

It is what it is. Hopefully it's all starting to trend upwards for the both of us. I'm glad you've been pushed out of the funk somewhat. I think involving myself in things recently has kind of done the same for me. So that's good. Maybe we're both making some progress.

~ habitualhawk ~

Habitualhawk,

You know, even if this isn't ending in Romance. I do think we vibe as friends. Especially since we kind of have been following the same personal path of digging ourselves out of this funk.
