>dumps warm sake all over the fucking cat
SAKE!
>>7883081
...Mae? Do I even want to know why you're here?
>>7883091
Really. You look like a real asshole. Why'd you shoot a flare gun at my window?
>>7883262
Oh. It's one of those parties then. Great.
>>7883276
>Nice.png
>>7883262
How rude... A waste of perfectly good alcohol...
>Shaking her head, Ahri takes a sip of her own beverage.
What's next? Asgore "accidentally" shipping again?
>>7883286
>Autism is resorting to repetitive behavior and not socializing with people. Looking insensitive to issues whilst deliberately seeking an excuse to continue being alone when surrounded by people.
oh shit that's me
how do i not be autistic?
Guys I found a picture of King Knight and Asgore meeting up
>>7883284
Ignore all distractions
>ignores your snide comment while chuggin
>>7883304
A GIFT! For you~....
>pours you a cup of the finest sake I own
>>7883312
You don't
>>7883284
Oh, you know, thought I'd unwind a bit with mass murder. It's the perfect cure for boredom. Doctor's orders.
>>7883333
well
time to fucking die then
>>7883328
>She gasps, accepting the cup happily.
Why thank you.
>One of her tails reaches forward and lightly tickles the underside of his chin.
>>7883284
So you can get better windows. But that's funny coming from a freak of nature.
>>7883312
Socialize. Slowly go out of your comfort zone and seek out multiple hobbies. It is a condition that can never truly be cured only limited.
>tfw you just enter tributes and don't rp
>>7883328
Uh-huh. I'll just let you keep doing that then. Got anything else to drink?
>>7883341
Mass murder? Oh, I get it. This is a big prank right? Real funny. Where'd you get all the lame costumes from?
>>7883358
So you fired a flare that spelled something out just to break my window? Fantastic. I'll call you if I need a new door too. Also I'm pretty sure to some extent I'm more normal than you. Like, a good extent.

AGAIN!
>hands you the cup
>>7883398
same, LF.
>>7883408
LF plays Sam Hyde tho
>>7883312
He just described introvertism, which a huge amount of people are part of.
I know an actual autist that needed his own tard wrangler back in school, it's a huge difference. It's like nowadays everyone that enjoys being alone instead of socializing claims they have self-diagnosed autism, even though they're just introvert, which is not a bad thing.
>>7883417
Hey Aikawa, someone was curious.
Are there any districts that have a higher chance of winning than others?
>>7883417
>Autism was like the ADD and ADHD of its time. Easier to say a kid has something than just look into why they're like that.
>wake up from a nap
>First thing I do is argue with people who never mean what they say
Boy I'm fucking smart.
>>7883406
>She chortles, taking the cup.
You're not letting a girl drink alone are you?
>The cup is empty shortly afterwards.
>>7883417
>Pets the trap
>>7883429
I highly doubt it. Brant tries to make it as random (fair) as possible, and I once made a bit to simulate like 10,000 games or so and log the results, it was all fair.
>>7883417
good point tho
fuck i'm glad i'm not that bad
>>7883441
Shut up Asgore.
>>7883401
Costumes? What costumes? I wear this outfit literally every day.
>>7883468
No, I definitely replied to Asgore.
>>7883481
No, you replied to an easily baited retard.
>>7883454
>This I can actually disprove since I've been chatting in threads and Discord consistently since like 3:00.
>>7883328
You must forgive yourself brother.
>>7883462
I mean these other guys. How'd you pay them to dress up like that anyways? Thought you didn't have a job.
>Guys c'mon, there's literally no need to fight. It's just a bunch of people fucking around and having fun.
>>7883401
Good, Do you know what normality leads to? Average. Mediocrity.
>>7883442
A-again!
>Staggers while trying to pour you another cup

>tfw don't care one way or the other what anyone picks up or does as long as they're having fun
How do I get jaded and bitter like all the other popular avafags?
This place is filled with so much trash.

>One thing for sure, I somewhat enjoy it. Makes me feel like a special snowflake.

>>7883572
Why are you so angry?
>>7883533
Well, I don't, but I didn't pay them anything! I don't even know them aside from "person I killed" or "person who killed me." It's a rocky relationship.
>>7883574

Too bad you are neither of them.
>>7883534
Okay. Sure. If you wanna believe that then go ahead. What's the real reason you shot a flare at my house?
>>7883611
So you expect me to believe that we're in a place where people kill eachother, and that you've not only killed people but have died and come back. That about right?

>>7883437
y-yeah
>>7883453
Don't worry about it, introvert people have advantages as well. They're not a minority and not inferior. It's just that extrovertism is considered good nowadays, so everyone tries to be like that and feels dissappointed when it just doesn't fit them.

Alright then. Let's see if you're telling the truth. They better not try anything weird though, I've got a broken window and a bad mood now.

>>7883687
>going against the entire point of the site
>>7883978
You are way too eager about trying to be killed. Like, scarily eager.
Also, please don't tell my mom about this. She's gonna think I dropped out to become a serial killer.

That she is
>>7884004
I'm having a bad day. Dad's gonna be pissed some guy shot out the window with a magic flare gun and I have work tomorrow.
Only going to tell her if you die right away. She at least needs to know it wasn't entirely your fault.
>>7884025
Oh good I'm with a cosplayer or whatever. That'll be handy. She'll make a good distraction for the other nuts.
>>7884025
Let's go!
>>7884086
You're not immune to killing yourself in the Arena.
I mean, I'm probably not gonna do that, but if I, like, fall into a pit full of flaming snakes or something, then that's my fault. I guess.

Why haven't we got over 40-50 UIDs this week? ;-;
>>7884118
I blame people having lives and interests other than HG.
>>7884118
We can reach even more if people go find some newfags :3c
>>7884117
>>7884114
So I tell her the fire killed you or the snakes? Or the pit?
>>7884117
Jesus christ I didn't hit her that hard.
>>7884117

...Oh Jesus Christ Bea she was just a child.
>>7884055
>I personally wouldn't mind them, but a lot of people here enjoy their anonymity.

>>7884117
Something is wrong with the genders, is the site's fault
>>7884195
Better than telling her you killed yourself. "Oh yeah Mrs. B sorry to say this but Mae killed herself in a fantasy bloodsport world."
That was no kid, I don't even think it was human. That's my alibi and I'm sticking to it.
>>7884230

>Tfw the sum of your ava's voice is a super high-pitched unfitting "Nope!" and "Nuh-uh!"

Better hope I don't see your sorry ass in the next game. I'll have a broken bottle with your name on it.
>>7884904
I'll just bite your face and say the devil made me do it.
>>7884862
Nice one on the win! Thanks for hosting; senpai.
Shame I ended up with my arse on funeral-pyre fire.

Precisely, there's a reason he hasn't shown his ugly face in awhile.

My secretary will write you a complimentary remark for your efforts. You'll probably receive it in 2 months and 12 days.
Hopefully.

Do you WANT me to just kick the shit out of you?
