Drow's General OOC-We're Back Babee!~

[Drobabes]

They say that? ">_>

Who is this mad man slandering apples?

 

[Poprockz]

That’s what they say at least. I’ll stick with my coffee and tea, thank you.

Look it up and you shall be enlightened.

 

[Drobabes]

Mm, coffee does sound good right now... Salted caramel

 

[Poprockz]

Mmmmm… Peppermint mocha.

 

[Drobabes]

*rolls into the ooc with a pair of sunglasses on*

I wear my sunglasses at night~

 

[Poprockz]

<.< Such a rebel.

 

[Drobabes]

I'm about to be a rebel...rebel the fuck out a this job >:c

*aggressively searches craigslist*

Anyway, hi! Lol How's the Poprockz? Hopefully the holidays are not too hectic ">_>

 

[Poprockz]

<o< Oh? Job not treating you well lately?

Nope, holidays are going rather smoothly, I must say. Lots of time to just relax and hang out with family and friends, though who knows if that'll change in the future. I'm having a lot of fun with the Lit Dnd campaign Nouh's running. There was just a scene where I rolled a shit roll, so I stride confidently up to someone and promptly trip and knock them over.

How are the holidays treating le Drobabes?

 

[Drobabes]

Yea, just the usual corporate crap and getting minimum wage for it. I'm going to take a chance and ask this old man mechanic, where I'll be dropping my truck off soon, if he ever takes on apprentices. If not, well, I'm going to try and not take a paycut this time at least.

Pfft! Haha, oh my god! XD That's fucking amazing and sounds like so much fun; I'm glad you guys are able to do that. I would have loved to do something like that, but I'm glad I declined because woo, would I be holding everyone up >_>

Glad to hear the holidays are going smoothly The holidays are going alright for me too. Not a whole lot to be able to gift shop with, but that's okay. I got the important things I wanted to get, and everyone else I'll probably get some small stocking stuffers for.

 

[Poprockz]

Ah yes, corporate America strikes again! Any chance of you getting loans to get into a trade or something?

Yeah, it's pretty fast-paced for the most part, so it probably wouldn't be a good fit. Still, someday if you're in a better spot, we may have another campaign or something. I think we're probably going to do the harpy character's backstory next, but that won't be until we've finished the quest of the spectral phallus.

Do you do any baking/candy making? That's always a good gift that's relatively low-cost.

 

[Drobabes]

Honestly yea I probably could get some loans, but I fucking dread that and do so much better learning on the job. I may have to consider it, though... After I get the basics of what I need to do done first. Still gotta get that apartment.

Oh my god XD Alright, I lost it at "quest of the spectral phallus" XD

I do, and I was thinking of doing some baking. Especially with chocolate-everyone loves chocolate

 

[Poprockz]

Hm. There's never enough money, is there? :/

Heheh, I imagine it'll be kind of like an erotic Indiana Jones situation with it sitting on a pedestal, with some booby trap activating when we take it. Lol And then maybe we'll be taken... IN THE BUTT! :O

Everybody does indeed love chocolate. I knew one chick who didn't; I'd say maybe she was possessed by the devil, but I'm pretty sure even the devil loves chocolate.

Eh... honestly, I've been able to work pretty good with whatever budget I got, it's the time and energy levels I've been struggling with. But yea, it wouldn't hurt to be getting a bit more than minimum wage.

Haha oh my god, that would be amazing

This is true. As to those who do not like chocolate...I think their taste buds are broken ">_>

So I put my two weeks in. Fucking done lol. Management started that really toxic shit of trying to get everyone gift cards and calling everyone family, meanwhile upstairs we got residents who haven't had a shower in a week and downstairs we can't get everyone fed on time because we don't have enough staff in the back, even though they could easily pull someone from up front to come back even for just an hour. But naw.

Whatever, we warned them that if our head coworker goes, they're going to lose their whole Noc team and that's exactly what's happening.

I think it's time for me to really scope out the college scene. Still got no clue what I want to do, but I think I want to make an appointment with the person who helps you figure that out.

 

[Poprockz]

Congrats! Leaving a toxic workplace is always the right choice. You’re still young- I’m sure you’ll be able to get a good degree in something that’ll be worthwhile, or even a trade school or something.

 

[Drobabes]

*puts on her battle robe and hat to come into work*

Let's do this!! D:<

I feel good tonight

 

[HornyIsh69]

*drives a white coupe in a suit of armor*

Don't even ask, this shit was hella expensive

 

[Drobabes]

>fires
>Earthquakes
>Floods
>Massive second wave covid outbreak at work that made me take back my two weeks notice and stay

Fucking shit California, we get it, you hate us with the same passion of the devil's fat cock-it doesn't mean you have to try and kill us ">_>

 

[Poprockz]

@ish: well if you’re the knight and Drobabes is the wizard, I suppose I’ll be the healer. Lol

@Drobabes: <_< Perhaps you and your entire family should move further north. Oregon and Washington are a bit different from California but they’re still technically west coast states.

Hmm. Are you going to leave after the outbreak ends?

 

[Drobabes]

I'm pretty used to earthquakes but that one was freaking huge. Killed a few people... They're houses were very old though, and collapsed

No, I'm actually going to stay for a bit. This whole time (last two weeks or so), our Noc team has been talking to the wrong person to change things. And the person who actually got their ass in here and helped us through that earthquake was the actual executive director, who seems to give more than a single shit. So I'm going to give him a chance to see what he can do.

 

[Poprockz]

I heard about that. I think it was like a 6 on the scale, right? That shit’s real scary. :/ I live my life in fear of Cascadia.

Hmm. Well, hope that works out. I’m a bit cynical since all the shit was going on while he’s supposed to be managing it, but I suppose he deserves a chance.

 

[Drobabes]

It was a 6.4, definitely a big one. Knocked TV's and shelves over, and we had a lot of little ones after that.

I'm cynical too and I even told him when I decided to stay that I'm completely willing to bounce if they can't prove to us that shits going to change. In all fairness though, there's been so little communication going on that, while we've all been running ragged for months now, this guy just got here only three, maybe two, weeks ago and I didn't even know who he was. Only officially met him twice before in the hall but I thought he was with maintenance or corporate or something.

So, so far so good but we'll see.

 

[Poprockz]

As the executive director, I think it’s disappointing that he didn’t know what was going on with the staffing/managers. That seems like a bit of negligence on his part. My bet is that he’s just making sweet promises to keep you guys around because they’re in desperate need of you. That’s my take, but only time will tell. Part of me hopes I’m wrong for your and the elderly’s sake.

 

[Drobabes]

That is a very real possibility and why we are still kind of walking on eggshells, but yea. I really hope for the residents sake it's not all another game.

So anyway, how's Popz? looking forward to Christmas?

 

[Poprockz]

Yeah, I’m excited to spend time with my family this Christmas. Work’s been tiring lately, so it’ll be good to relax a bit. I tell you what, I am ready to get jolly as fuck.

How about Drobabes?

 

[Drobabes]

haha, maybe I should Jolly the fucking ooc up I'm glad you've been getting time with your family, I'm excited to see mine too.

I'm good! Putting my mental health first, relationship dynamics changed a bit and turned more casual because we all got so much shit on our plates. Which I'm finding is kind of what I need right now. Having that unsaid pressure of actually dating someone, when there's that expectation of a relation having steps and needing to lead somewhere, is something I think I really need to wait on for a bit. I need to live by myself for a while and get comfortable being single and figuring out myself. You know, the shit that's been said a million times about discovering yourself, but it's true lol. And I'm really lucky to be with peeps that are mature enough to recognize that need with themselves as well, and not shame anyone for anything.

Funny enough this whole situation has given me writing inspiration. I want to try and incorporate a bit of this feeling into Quint's character, when we get there. Cora's had plenty of time being single, and Quint has not, so I think I want him to slowly discover he's not comfortable being single
