World 2-1: Loading, Please Wait...

I'm definitely not feeling stellar about our food situation. It reminds me of Hardcore survival mode in Fallout: New Vegas, where you take serious stat penalties and HP loss from going too long without food. We weren't able to come up with much of anything yesterday, and we had to eat a huge portion of our rice stock to avoid getting fatigued. It'd be really nice if we could gobble up some pellets, cherries, pretzels... heck, I'd totally take some Romani Ranch Milk or Red Potion right now to keep myself going. If this kind of shortage keeps up, we're definitely going to be subject to some serious HP loss.

I feel like there isn't much going on with the tribe, and that makes it hard to know what to talk about. Nobody's really standing out as a weak player just yet, and that makes me nervous. Right now I'm working on ensuring that my Usefulness stat remains high. I'm investing a lot of ranks in the Survival skill tree, making sure that I'm getting perks like "The food provider" skill, thanks to capturing a very solid snake. Everybody says it was dead when I caught it, but I'm pretty sure it was just using the REST ability to recharge its mana.

In other news, I have captured a rat. I named it Charizard, and it is going to be our team mascot. Charizard bit me yesterday, and I'm pretty sure I've contracted some kind of horrible virulent disease. Some would say that this will probably be a bit of a disadvantage in a game that's all about survival, but I look at it this way: Firstly, I now have access to biological warfare perks. Someone annoys me? I'll spit in their canteen and make them horribly ill. The other tribe tries to poison our food supply? No worries, my immune system is already kicked into high gear from sepsis. Secondly, if Charizard is radioactive, I can gain all of his powers, like Megaman, and lead a new life of crime fighting as the superhero Ratman. Rats have amazing abilities, like treading water for two days, being able to compress their bones to squeeze through holes a fraction of their size, falling from heights of over four stories without sustaining physical damage, and many other things. It's possible that this horrible viral infection will have adverse side effects, but I hadven't nooticid andythning difffffffrennnt we;ioj as4 g'j#@l

Kenny Hoang
Greetings, Alina!
50 mins agoAlina Wilson
Hey Kenny!!! How are you??
49 mins agoKenny Hoang
I'm great! Nice to finally meet you one on one
49 mins agoKenny Hoang
It's always awkward to socialize just during challenges
49 mins agoAlina Wilson
I know what you mean! Or just in the group chat, it's been a little bit of a slow start! I'm happy to finally meet
44 mins agoKenny Hoang
Same here!
44 mins agoKenny Hoang
So how's your family crisis? Better I hope
43 mins agoAlina Wilson
It wasn't exactly a FAMILY crisis, it was my friends. It seems to be better now. Her brother is addicted to some medication and basically tried to kill himself and I just wanted to be there for her. It was rough but it's a lot better now. He seems WAY more fine and I've been home for awhile now. It was just s rough weekend
42 mins agoAlina Wilson
How was hanging with your fan yesterday?
41 mins agoKenny Hoang
It was good
41 mins agoKenny Hoang
Would've preferred to not have to do the challenge on my phone
41 mins agoKenny Hoang
I was so paranoid we'd lose and it'd be my fault for being so slow
32 mins agoAlina Wilson
I am happy it worked out! Why were you stuck on your phone? I was worried what would happen if we lost too. I felt like I was super late
31 mins agoKenny Hoang
I was out at a family dinner type thing
31 mins agoKenny Hoang
I don't see them very often so I decided to go be a good soon
31 mins agoKenny Hoang
*son
31 mins agoKenny Hoang
And, I wouldn't worry about being late. You're obviously making a solid attempt to be a useful member of the party.
31 mins agoKenny Hoang
Right now we've got a few extraneous characters who don't have any unique abilities.
31 mins agoAlina Wilson
It was really nice of you to give up that time from your fam for us.
30 mins agoKenny Hoang
If they were Pokemon, they'd be sixth-string, destined for the Pokedex filing system the second I caught something better.
30 mins agoAlina Wilson
And yes this is definitely an interesting group of individuals. I'm anxious to see the personalities unfold and I feel like such a loser for not knowing much on Pokemon
30 mins agoAlina Wilson
I'm so sorry for your loss
30 mins agoKenny Hoang
What? I didn't lose anyone.
30 mins agoAlina Wilson
I understand the Nintendo ceo has passed
30 mins agoKenny Hoang
Oh
30 mins agoKenny Hoang
Yes
29 mins agoKenny Hoang
I'm playing to avenge him.
29 mins agoAlina Wilson
LOL
29 mins agoKenny Hoang
All the godmode cheats in the world can't stop the Reaper
29 mins agoAlina Wilson
You have my vote to win Kenny
29 mins agoAlina Wilson
He deserves vengeance
29 mins agoKenny Hoang
He's infinite level and has subroutines that let him walk through walls.
29 mins agoAlina Wilson
I didn't know that was possible
29 mins agoKenny Hoang
Several of my Sims have found that out the hard way
28 mins agoKenny Hoang
Although one of them managed to befriend him
28 mins agoKenny Hoang
And he came to her college graduation in a suit
28 mins agoAlina Wilson
Befriend the reaper?
28 mins agoKenny Hoang
Yes
28 mins agoKenny Hoang
I was pretty surprised.
28 mins agoAlina Wilson
Is this true? He showed up to her graduation just to say congrats? And not collect her soul?
28 mins agoKenny Hoang
She was studying Abyssinian poetry
27 mins agoKenny Hoang
So that soul was already loooooong gone
27 mins agoAlina Wilson
OMG
27 mins agoAlina Wilson
Lololol
27 mins agoAlina Wilson
Are you also studying Abyssinian poetry?
25 mins agoKenny Hoang
No, thank god
24 mins agoKenny Hoang
I knew people who did, and they were horrific.
24 mins agoKenny Hoang
One poor bastard, and this is not a joke I swear, had to write an essay where he literally sat down with an epic 3,000 line poem, and had to list every adjective and adverb, and explain their function in the grand scheme of the poem
19 mins agoAlina Wilson
I don't even know what Abyssinian is :X I feel so unintelligent! That sounds like the end of the world thkugh. I read both the Iliad and the Odyssey by choice but I can't imagine analyzing every line
16 mins agoKenny Hoang
Me neither.
15 mins agoKenny Hoang
Don't feel unintelligent. Abyssinian is middle eastern in some way.
15 mins agoKenny Hoang
It's also a type of cat.
15 mins agoKenny Hoang
The more you know! *hums jazzy little show tune*
13 mins agoAlina Wilson
Lol, I thought Abyssinian was like, deep into the abyss, like other dimensional or something that we can't comprehend
12 mins agoKenny Hoang
That would be more interesting, for sure
4 mins agoAlina Wilson
Hey, I'm super sorry to leave this party early cause I was laughing so hard all ready but I'm doIng off and it's almost 3
4 mins agoAlina Wilson
I hope to talk to you soon Kenny
4 mins agoAlina Wilson
Goodnight!
4 mins agoKenny Hoang
Night

Kenny Hoang
Good evening, Morgan!
Jul 13, 2015 11:57 PMMorgan McLeod
Hey there, Kenny! How are you doing?
Jul 13, 2015 11:58 PMKenny Hoang
Pretty good
Jul 13, 2015 11:58 PMKenny Hoang
Feeling a bit weird because I can never seem to catch our tribe online
Jul 13, 2015 11:58 PMKenny Hoang
Makes me feel antisocial
Jul 13, 2015 11:59 PMMorgan McLeod
Aww, don't feel too weird! You're the first person I've talked to since we won immunity.
Jul 13, 2015 11:59 PMKenny Hoang
I guess we're all just quiet people
Jul 13, 2015 11:59 PMMorgan McLeod
I guess. Also, I guess there wasn't too much to talk about since we didn't have to attend Tribal Council.
59 mins agoKenny Hoang
Yeah.
59 mins agoKenny Hoang
I guess nobody's really feeling the alliance vibe yet
59 mins agoKenny Hoang
For whatever it's worth, I feel like you me and Erinn are the hardest workers
58 mins agoMorgan McLeod
I totally agree! You and Erinn are the only two people I really click with at the moment.
51 mins agoKenny Hoang
Same. I think we're all pretty stellar
51 mins agoMorgan McLeod
For sure!
51 mins agoKenny Hoang
But the others just don't have... personality
51 mins agoMorgan McLeod
Yeah, talking to them is like talking to a wall.
44 mins agoKenny Hoang
Exactly.
44 mins agoKenny Hoang
In some video games, talking to walls can have interesting results
44 mins agoKenny Hoang
But it's very rare
43 mins agoKenny Hoang
And in this case, you never find anything interesting.
41 mins agoMorgan McLeod
Haha, yeah. The game of Survivor is a bit different from your typical video game.
41 mins agoKenny Hoang
Very true.
41 mins agoKenny Hoang
But I'm excited to learn
41 mins agoMorgan McLeod
Me too! We'll learn together.
40 mins agoKenny Hoang
Exactly! I'd like that
38 mins agoMorgan McLeod
So would I
32 mins agoKenny Hoang
So what are you up to today?
31 mins agoMorgan McLeod
I'm not quite sure yet. How about you?
30 mins agoKenny Hoang
Well, I think I might take a walk down to the water hole
30 mins agoKenny Hoang
It smells awful, but I'll do anything to beat the heat
29 mins agoMorgan McLeod
I'll probably end up sleeping all day like I usually do
28 mins agoKenny Hoang
Want me to get you anything?
28 mins agoKenny Hoang
Fan you with palm fronds?
28 mins agoMorgan McLeod
That would be great!
27 mins agoKenny Hoang
Awesome. I will go find some.
27 mins agoKenny Hoang
I just hope I don't cut myself with the machete again.
27 mins agoMorgan McLeod
You have to be careful with that machete!
27 mins agoMorgan McLeod
We don't need you getting medevaced.
26 mins agoKenny Hoang
I'm just lucky that after hitting myself in the leg it rebounded and killed a snake.
26 mins agoMorgan McLeod
I thought the snake was already dead to begin with?
25 mins agoKenny Hoang
That's what it wanted us to think.
25 mins agoMorgan McLeod
Oh, gotcha.
24 mins agoMorgan McLeod
It was playing dead. Smart defense tactic.
23 mins agoKenny Hoang
Exactly.
23 mins agoKenny Hoang
Ekans and Arbok develop that ability around level 6
21 mins agoMorgan McLeod
Your knowledge of video games is rather extensive.
21 mins agoKenny Hoang
Well
20 mins agoKenny Hoang
While all of my friends were out getting to know girls, I was getting to know video games
20 mins agoKenny Hoang
Most of them got dumped
20 mins agoKenny Hoang
But I still rule at Tetris
20 mins agoMorgan McLeod
Do you have a deep emotional connection with video games?
20 mins agoKenny Hoang
So who's the REAL loser?
20 mins agoKenny Hoang
I wouldn't say it's emotional. We're just friends.
20 mins agoMorgan McLeod
Obviously not you! You're the video game champion.
20 mins agoKenny Hoang
Daww
20 mins agoKenny Hoang
*blushes*
19 mins agoMorgan McLeod
Maybe when this is all over, you could teach me how to play one.
16 mins agoKenny Hoang
I'd like that!
16 mins agoKenny Hoang
I can think of several co-op adventures you'd be great at
15 mins agoMorgan McLeod
Aww, you think so? Well I'd be interested to find out!
15 mins agoKenny Hoang
Certainly.
15 mins agoKenny Hoang
So tell me about cheerleading
15 mins agoKenny Hoang
Do you guys have to be happy all the time?
15 mins agoKenny Hoang
Is it possible to be an angry cheerleader?
14 mins agoKenny Hoang
For that matter
14 mins agoKenny Hoang
Are there are any cheerfollowers?
14 mins agoMorgan McLeod
Our goal is to maintain a high energy and perform to the best of our ability.
13 mins agoMorgan McLeod
Don't tell any of my teammates that I said this, but they are all pretty much my cheerfollowers.
13 mins agoMorgan McLeod
I'm the leader, obviously. I'm the HBIC.
13 mins agoKenny Hoang
Huge boobs in charge?
13 mins agoMorgan McLeod
Exactly!
13 mins agoKenny Hoang
I knew it!
13 mins agoMorgan McLeod
Well, something like that.
13 mins agoKenny Hoang
It was the same way in my high school
12 mins agoMorgan McLeod
I'm sure I would've ran your high school as well.
12 mins agoKenny Hoang
Probably
12 mins agoKenny Hoang
We didn't have many hot girls
12 mins agoKenny Hoang
You'd have been prom queen
11 mins agoMorgan McLeod
Of course I would have <3
10 mins agoKenny Hoang
Were you prom queen at your school?
9 mins agoMorgan McLeod
Obviously
8 mins agoKenny Hoang
Zomg
8 mins agoKenny Hoang
That prom king must've been a lucky guy
8 mins agoMorgan McLeod
He was my boyfriend <3
4 mins agoKenny Hoang
Do you... umm... still have a boyfriend?
4 mins agoKenny Hoang
I'm asking not for myself of course
4 mins agoKenny Hoang
Colby told me to ask you
4 mins agoKenny Hoang
...Except he's gay
3 mins agoMorgan McLeod
No, him and I broke it off before I came on the show.
3 mins agoMorgan McLeod
And you know, I always thought Colby was gay...
3 mins agoKenny Hoang
That's awes
3 mins agoKenny Hoang
ful
3 mins agoMorgan McLeod
Not to mention his mother's name is literally Gay.
3 mins agoKenny Hoang
Awesful.
3 mins agoKenny Hoang
What an awesful thing to have happen.
3 mins agoMorgan McLeod
Awesful?
3 mins agoKenny Hoang
Yeah. It's like awful, but... worse. It's awesful
3 mins agoMorgan McLeod
Ah, gotcha.
2 mins agoKenny Hoang
I totally wasn't saying awesome and then changed it halfway through, hoping you wouldn't notice.
2 mins agoMorgan McLeod
I'm sure you weren't.
2 mins agoKenny Hoang
Nope! How awkward would THAT have been?
1 min agoKenny Hoang
*nervous laughter*
1 min agoMorgan McLeod
Very awkward
1 min agoMorgan McLeod
...for you
1 min agoKenny Hoang
Yup.
1 min agoKenny Hoang
Good thing it didn't happen, then.
1 min agoMorgan McLeod
Yeah
just nowKenny Hoang
Anyway, I'm going to go... umm... look for palm fronds now
just nowKenny Hoang
But I'll talk to you again soon
just nowMorgan McLeod
Alright! Don't forget to fan me with them once you find them. <3
just nowKenny Hoang
I could never forget!

[Ken]

Pretty sure I nailed that convo with Morgan, not gonna lie. I wouldn't be surprised if she and I are going at it like characters in a Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas easter egg by the end of the game.
