I DRAW!
And I just finished drawing my character's headshot so I can replace what I've got going on, and desire to show it off. Dost thou desire character art?

My desired experience is a collaborative improv experience where the players are comfortable with making shit up on the fly about what's going on and about each other. Running NPCs, confrontations, calling the cops on themselves since they're playing the NPCs which include the lady who calls 911 on their hijinx, the mutual confidence and respect where you can just posit, comfortably, that something behind the scenes happened between your characters that you didn't actually discuss but you know their humor and their character well enough to do it. Like you can just say to them (or they to you) in character, "Hell no, we're not going to that party, the last time you took me anywhere you drained the tequila bottle and dragged me on the dance floor!" without pre-negotiating. It's a space of trust and familiarity and creativity that is my desired experience.

ETA, I also really enjoy when people do dumb, irresponsible shit ICly and look forward to the consequences blowing up in their face. Because that tends to require a mindset of trust in the GM, collaboration, and good sportsmanship, so you're on a good gaming experience when you screw up and go "Whoops oh shiiiit" and are excited to see what happens next, rather than dreading how this is gonna screw over your character.

Alright, we gon' have a thread for ... Mostly retail situations, I'm sure, but I have faith in humanity to deliver amazing stories for those who don't or haven't worked in retail but in something else.

I'mma lazily post WineWarrior into here as tale #1.

The woman who stole some wine from the fridge in the Cafe display, opened it and bottoms upped while everyone just watched (I mean what are you going to do, tell her to put it back? Backwash Bordeaux) in one go like a professional kegstander as she strutted outside, threw the bottle straight onto pavement as she marched into traffic across the street and went straight into the gym.

Some random character designs for some women for a comic I never finish

@derp The changes to the color scheme

Happen to be WCAG AA compliant most of the time so congratulations on accidentally appeasing me

@wizz said in Oh, Humanity:

The second week after I began, I shit you not, the same fucking lady came in.

The fear.
Like, the "I need to burn all my IDs, cancel all my credit cards, and buy an emergency supply of amazon gift cards so I can have all my personal belongings strategically mailed on a round robin rotation 10 to separate 7-11s" delete-your-whole-life adrenaline spine drop fear
Of seeing some lady follow you not only out of a state

but to UTAH

@derp Oh lol I was like "Fuck I have a bigger problem than I thought"

My sister's idea of a great snack last night:

Ingredients:
One (1) fish tail deep fried in lemon-salt cornmeal batter
One (1) jar of jalapeño jam

Steps:

• Dip fish tail into entire jar of jalapeño jam
• Eat fish tail
• Fall off barstool

@chibichibi I was thinking much the same thing. Just copy down the pre-made characters in the various books. Voila.

@crawfish Thank you
@TiredEwok Thank you very much!
@MisterBoring I could set up for le koh missyonnaise and smack together a price sheet and all that probably.

@tinuviel Big mood. I love it. So you're welcome to do it to me :D. If I really think whatever was posited wouldn't happen, I'd just OOCly say "Hey actually let's change X detail but the rest of it, 10/10"

I'm on a plane and there are 15 passengers in the entire plane with several empty rows and several empty seats. This lady came in and made some other lady move out of her seat, to the very next seat over.

If it weren't barely over a dozen people I wouldn't side eye thatP but if you wanted and window seat so hard you could have sat in the entirely empty row in front of you or the entirely empty row behind you.

Oh my God look at her little big feets

Darkwater was my very first MUSH! That was you, right?

GLHF in life!

I am ignorant and dumb, why the hell would live rounds be anywhere on a movie set? Snap caps are so cheap and come in colors and materials that are so obviously fake you can see they're fake from the MOON, do they not use them???

Sure, sure, okay, snap caps are just inert little plastic doohickeys that aren't going to create any special effects magic and you're going to need something else to make the special effect of "that thing/person got shot" but

But why the hell would live rounds be anywhere on a movie set???? That feels so criminally preventable to me, what the hell???

@insomniac7809 You have a point! And I get now that it's, "the current safety standards aren't the issue the fact that they weren't being followed is the issue."

Minty boys, hands down, I will fight you for some mintyboys. When girl scouts ask me if I want to buy cookies I just translate into my head do I want some mintyboys. There is no other cookie.
