Heh. That was more me not wanting to sound like an idiot. Sometimes I forget to ask questions, I tell people stuff without being prompted to do so, and I forget not everyone does that. 

Oh, wow. That sounds super cool, to be honest. Are they all the different types off stuff you worked on yourself, or did you have, like, specific things you did?? Where did you work?? Like what city? That sounds like a lot of hard work and brain power, you know? I totally get why you were admiring the layout of this place now. The dots are connecting. That dude who created the place, maybe you can talk shop with him!

But then you say there were a bunch of words you don’t understand?  But yeah I get that.  

Bridges.  I love bridges.  Living outside of Atlanta though, I worked mostly on overpasses and freeway exhanges.  Not really true bridges.  But I used to pick my vacation areas based on bridges.  Hmm, maybe.  I wonder /who/ designed it.  You know?  Considering where we supposedly are.

benjijohnson​:

Guys. I have a little dog . Don’t ask me what breed she us, cause I don’t know. I think I was told, but I couldn’t pay attention; she wanted all my attention. She’s sooo cute. It was love at first sight, and I’m super happy. She’s called Luna and she’s the best. Wherever Benji goes, there Luna will be. We’re a duo now.

I got a headgehog named Pipsqueak.  That Emma would probably be able to tell you what kind of dog you got.

She stopped and looked at him “oh hi I don’t really know what to take pictures of?”

“The interesting animals at the pet fair would be a good start.”

@thesebastardsmythe

Bring this to me, I need to see it in person.

You will. At some point I'm sure.

[wildecadence]

Meet Pipsqueak the Hedgehog my apparent soul pet.

madison-hummel​:

She decided to go practice and she grabbed the camera and started taking pictures “I’m really good at this” @thegleeplacestarters

Cade was on his way out to the town square for the pet fair. He’d never had a pet before and it was a little excited at the idea. “Oh, hello Madison.  Are you heading down to the pet fair to take pictures?” he asked nodding to the camera?

benjijohnson​:

Dude, I didn’t blow it off. If I would have blown it off, I would have just completely ignored it??? Me saying I didn’t understand it was me acknowledging it but not knowing how to respond - but I didn’t wanna ignore it cause that’s rude. You didn’t try and explain it, so conversation over. Apologies if you thought I was blowing it off.

I read ‘or my brain doesn’t want to take in’ as the blow off.  The words weren’t really that complex and you didn’t bother to ask any questions.  If I’d used technical jargon or had an idea about what specifically you didn’t understand I would have clarified. 

Here is the break down.   A Civil engineer is like an architect.  But instead of drawing up blue prints and designing a house, they deal with all types of infrastructure such as business, condos, roads, bridges, highways, and overpasses.  A city planner civil engineer, like I was before here, is responsible for planning out a city or a neighborhood or a development within the city.   So I was just admiring how well laid out this place is when it comes to what is necessary that way.  

[wildecadence]

benjijohnson​:

Wow, you’re super chatty and really know how to keep a conversation going, I’m so glad I started up a convo with you, dude. Thrilling experience.

You literally blew off everything I said to begin with.  Then explained how you’ll ramble on, on tangents, because that’s apparently okay for you.

And then act surprised I have little interest in holding an actual conversation.  

[wildecadence]

madison-hummel​:

“I’m really sorry, I’m just using what my father taught me about being polite”

“I appreciate the politeness but since I’ve given you my name, twice, now, it’s equally polite,” Cade relied.  “If it’s because I’m considerably older than you, then please,  call me Mr. Wilde.”    

[wildecadence]

madison-hummel​:

She smiles and curtsies “it’s nice to meet you sir”

Cade looked at the young girl.  “It’s Cade.  If you call me sir I’m going to think my father, or my grandfather, is here.”   Although he was probably old enough to be her father.

[wildecadence]

benjijohnson​:

Dude, I wasn’t asking you ‘cause, like, you also just said you didn’t know. I was just agreeing with you. We’re in a weird situation, dude, we’re dead and have all the time in the world and my little brain can’t handle that, to be honest. 

Yes, yes it is. I have thoughts and I just let them out, I don’t really know when to stop. You could say one thing and I will link a million things to it and end up going on a tangent. If it ever gets too much, though, you just gotta tell me to shut up. I won’t even get offended cause I get it.

Mhmm.  Alright.

Interesting.

reginaldberry​:

Eh, nothing solid. We’ve got some things in the works- people teaching classes, getting something like an education system together. Kind of. We had a meeting about starting to set up classes and group activities and such but…Right after things got a little weird, and we haven’t circled back around to it yet. That’s a great question. I’m still tryin’ to figure that out myself. 

Thanks for that. So, how are you liking things so far?

Things got a little weird?  Like what?  

So far so good.  Can’t complain.  Certainly don’t miss punching the clock at work.

notsogoodaaron​:

I’m sure I’d have a different opinion if I was in the Bad Place but spending all of eternity here can’t be too bad. 

Not much, danced, sort of. I mostly just lived off of my inheritance, forked around, stuff like that.

So it would seem.

What kind of dance?  An inheritance?  I’m definitely enjoying not having to punch a clock around here though.  

[wildecadence]

dorseyrose​:

Yes. Yes, I do. My love for astrology is basically the only thing I’ve got. No stars, no personality. 

I get that...the love for astrology.  I always enjoyed the planetarium.  

[wildecadence]

thesebastardsmythe​:

Another Pet faire; riveting.  I assume everyone is going? The fresh meat, at least. Anyone turning in their pet for a new one?

The idea of being responsible for something else in the Good Life for eternity is a little daunting, not going to lie.  But something original might be fun.  What about you?  Trading in your pet?  Or keeping?

[wildecadence]

dorseyrose​:

The next full moon isn’t until the 5th but I could swear I can feel it already. That makes me sound like a werewolf… but maybe it’s just Penumbral Lunar Eclipse.

Do you study the phases or the moon or something?

[rickcosnettcentral]

So perfect!
