@Totalanimefan: I'm definitely not used to not being in walking distance of things, or otherwise not having great bus access. There is, I recently found out, a bus that goes around the county, but it's like a call on demand thing which I'm never organized enough to do. If I lived on the other end of this campus, I could walk to like a CVS and stuff (the grocery store if I was really dedicated), but I live on the north end, on top of a huge hill, and so it doesn't end well trying to walk into the village lol

@MoodyB: This is so off topic but what MV is your signature from? I see it all the time and it looks so familiar but I can't place it. BTS right??

@Amber Lynne: yes! i just joined a few weeks ago lol

@Kairu: understandable! i live by myself and buy my groceries in pretty small & consistent 2 week increments, so I don't waste much at all.

@totalanimefan: When I was with my parents my mom was going out anyways for work, while my dad and I were both home either WFH or laid off, so she just did it and worked to stock us up, so we usually only needed milk or eggs and a few other things. Now I'm out in Ohio on a pretty tightly contained university campus, on top of a hill without a car, so unless a coworker is making a trip and I need something specific, I usually just order delivery. Plus, since it comes from one of the bigger towns near by, there's a better selection. :)

I figured out the puzzle, but couldn't figure out how the game wanted it formatted, so I had to check a semi-spoiler for that.

@Amber Lynne: thank you!! i'm still fairly new so i love experimenting with all the items hehe.
@Totalanimefan: Ah, today's a stretch what I have lol. I do grocery order with everything going on, and they usually stop delivering same day if you order after 4 or 5-- so I'll probably do takeout tomorrow & order groceries to be delivered Saturday.
@Kairu: oooo that's always the mental math battle of figuring out when i can ball out on delivery and when i need to be responsible and cook lol.

i like the event so far!! last night's threw me for a while until i figured out what exactly it wanted from me lol

@Amber Lynne: ope just saw you reply, howdy! Just got home from work haha

@Kairu: hey kairu! what's up?

@Totalanimefan: I'm good! Just got home from work and threw some laundry into the washer & just cut up an apple to dip in some caramel lol. Trying to decide / figure out what I can throw together for dinner, as I'm running low on ingredients and need to do a grocery run this weekend. How are you?

oh hello i got summoned last night and didn't see

how are y'all?!

i got it on the second try, but a pop-up blocker i didn't know i had (must have gotten accidentally turned on ugh) blocked my grant.
so, third time will hopefully be the charm! i should be a-maze-ing at this point
(lol)

This is so well put together! I'm excited to see how the rest of this event goes!!

hello hellllloooo

I'm excited for this event, and for a distraction lol.


my milk has gone bad before i could finish it for the second time >:(
i'm procrastinating taking the trash out because it's so cold in the evenings now.
i might just give in, and take it out on my way to work tomorrow.

p is for pumpkin!!

sorry i cheated my last few lol

n is for nasty candy

bumping this real quick-- i had a busy few weeks and hadn't been able to be on voltra much

the university i went to for undergrad had a few ghosts!

two of the residence halls were haunted. one was the oldest hall on campus, which had residents living in it during ww2.
the story goes that one of the students went to fight in the war, leaving his sweetheart behind, and came back with injuries that included a facial difference. his sweetheart had either rejected him and/or found a new man, and the legend goes that he ended his life on the fourth floor of the residence hall (there's no historical record of his death at the campus, but, YMMV). if i remember right his name was george, and when i worked desk in that hall, residents would occasionally say that they'd hear him up on the fourth floor, punching the punching bag or just generally hanging out. he'd also occasionally close the patio doors.

there was also helen, who haunted one of the first year halls. she'd often redirect the service elevator up to the unused, maintanence-only 9th floor because she was lonely, and she was also kind of a protector of the first year girls.

there might have also been one in the library, but there's much fewer stories/belief in that one!
