attempt number nineteen ♓ (dictated)

Mar 15, 2011 00:04

What's the longest somebody's gone without getting smacked by a loss on top of a loss in this place, anyway? I just came up on month five and already I have this feeling like the other shoe is waiting to drop. And, no offense to anyone with especially bad luck, but I'm kind of hoping it isn't bomb-like when it finally does ( Read more... )

I am definitely good with girl time.

Also, I have had one loss in two years.

Girls autophoenix March 15 2011, 07:49:48 UTC

Great. Your room or mine? I figure we can make the other two just come to us and -- wait. Two years? Seriously? Talk about lucky.

Girls halfgoddess March 16 2011, 01:03:23 UTC

Either works. As luck would have it, it's actually clean right now, too.

And yeah, I lucked out on that. Hopefully that lucky streak will stick with me.

Fingers crossed on your account and mine. Let's go with yours, then, because my cleaning habits have been sorely neglected lately.

... You can get more?

autophoenix March 15 2011, 09:19:16 UTC

Well. Sort of. It's kind of complicated. You're new, huh? [ she tries to overcome her fail explanation life and spit one out. ]

Sometimes the castle will curse people and make things really complicated. A friend of mine wound up possessed by a psychotic goddess -- which, I promise, is a totally extreme case. But, the point is, it's just kinda easier to call them losses, since it all sort of falls under the same "crap the castle pulls on us" category.

walkinthruwalls March 15 2011, 09:34:58 UTC

And I'm still figuring out my first. [ okay, she'd been trying not to think about it ]

There's like a period of safety right? Not having anything extra when you're new?

autophoenix March 15 2011, 09:36:33 UTC

I'm not really sure. If it makes you feel better, I've had zilch and I'm five months in? A friend of mine's gone two years with only one.

I've started to lose count. [Okay, he hasn't, but given that he's been here just a little over one year, he's had his share and then some.]

autophoenix March 16 2011, 07:34:10 UTC

Not exactly the confidence-inspiring numbers I was hoping for.

knightprodigy March 16 2011, 21:08:20 UTC

[laughs lightly]

Sorry. The best we've been able to tell is that it varies from person to person.

autophoenix March 17 2011, 07:58:52 UTC

Okay you've officially progressed into slightly more reassuring territory. I mean, five months loss-free (mostly, obviously) is pretty promising right?

[WAIT... WAT.... cue confusion] Excuse me, but... More losses? What do you mean by that? I thought everyone just stuck to one big loss and that was it!

autophoenix March 16 2011, 07:36:42 UTC

I explained to a new girl further up the page ... [ she draws an arrow up to the thread with kitty } here.

girls batfail March 15 2011, 16:53:03 UTC

I'll bring the soda.

girls autophoenix March 16 2011, 07:40:28 UTC

You're the best. Looks like we're gonna meet up in Cassie's room -- because she's next door to me and you and Kara just get to make the journey down here.

girls batfail March 16 2011, 07:50:08 UTC

Sounds like a plan, though you guys are lazy

girls autophoenix March 17 2011, 08:04:58 UTC

Or, we're the majority, and you're just jealous.
