Perspective's Sentence Starters; The Tortured Poets Department by Taylor Swift (Part II)
GUILTY AS SIN?
I hadn't heard it in a while.
My boredom's bone deep.
This cage was once just fine.
Am I allowed to cry?
I dream of cracking locks.
Crashing into him tonight, he's a paradox.
I'm seeing visions.
Am I bad, or mad, or wise?
What if he's written "Mine" on my upper thigh only in my mind?
Oh, what a way to die.
I keep recalling things we never did.
Without ever touching his skin, how can I be guilty as sin?
There's no such thing as bad thoughts, only your actions talk.
We've already done it in my head.
Why does it feel like a vow we'll both uphold somehow?
What if I roll the stone away?
They're gonna crucify me anyway
What if the way you hold me is actually what's holy?
They don't know how you've haunted me so stunningly.
I choose you and me, religiously.
WHO'S AFRAID OF LITTLE OLD ME?
You don’t get to tell me about sad.
If you wanted me dead you should’ve just said.
Nothing makes me feel more alive.
Who’s afraid of little old me?
You don’t get to tell me you feel bad.
Is it a wonder I broke?
Let’s hear one morе joke.
Then we could all just laugh until I cry.
I was tame, I was gentle till the circus life made me mean.
Don’t you worry folks, we took out all her teeth.
So tell me everything is not about me, but what if it is?
Say they didn’t do it to hurt me, but what if they did?
I wanna snarl and show you just how disturbed this has made me.
You wouldn’t last an hour in the asylum where they raised me.
All you kids can sneak into my house with all the cobwebs.
I’m always drunk on my own tears, isn’t that what they all said?
I’ll sue you if you step on my lawn.
I’m fearsome, and I’m wretched and I’m wrong.
Put narcotics into all of my songs and that’s why you’re still singing along.
You lured me and you hurt me and you taught me.
You caged me and then you called me crazy.
I am what I am 'cause you trained me.
I CAN FIX HIM (NO REALLY I CAN)
The smoke cloud billows out his mouth like a freight train through a small town.
The jokes that he told across the bar were revolting and far too loud.
God, help her.
I told them he's my man
I can fix him, no, really, I can.
The dopamine races through his brain on a six-lane Texas highway.
His hands so calloused from his pistol softly traces hearts on my face.
I could see it from a mile away.
A perfect case for my certain skill set.
He had a halo of the highest gradе.
He just hadn't met me yеt.
Good boy, that's right.
Come close.
I'll show you Heaven if you'll be an angel, all mine.
Trust me, I can handle me a dangerous man.
LOML
Who's gonna stop us from waltzing back into rekindled flames?
We were just kids, babe.
I don't mind, it takes time.
I thought I was better safe than starry-eyed.
I felt a glow like this, never before and never since.
If you know it in one glimpse, it's legendary.
You said I'm the love of your life.
You took me to hell too.
A con man sells a fool a "get love quick" scheme.
I felt a hole like this, never before and ever since.
What we thought was for all time was momentary.
Mr. Steal-Your-Girl, then make her cry.
You shit-talked me under the table.
I wish I could unrecall how we almost had it all.
It was legendary.
It was momentary.
It was unnecessary.
Should've let it stay buried.
What a valiant roar.
What a bland goodbye.
The coward claimed he was a lion.
I'm combing through the braids of lies.
Our field of dreams engulfed in fire.
I'll still see until I die.
You're the loss of my life.
I CAN DO IT WITH A BROKEN HEART
I can read your mind.
She's having the time of her life.
I can show you lies.
I'm a real tough kid.
I can handle my shit.
They said, "Babe, you gotta fake it till you make it" And I did.
Lights, camera, bitch, smile.
He said he'd love me all his life.
All the piеces of me shatterеd as the crowd was chanting "More".
I was grinnin' like I'm winnin'.
I can do it with a broken heart.
I'm so depressed, I act like it's my birthday every day.
I'm so obsessed with him, but he avoids me like the plague.
I cry a lot, but I am so productive, it's an art.
You know you're good when you can even do it with a broken heart.
I can hold my breath.
I've been doing it since he left.
I keep finding his things in drawers.
I didn't imagine the whole thing.
'Cause I'm miserable and nobody even knows.
THE SMALLEST MAN WHO EVER LIVED
Was any of it true?
Who the fuck was that guy?.
Now you know what it feels like
I don't even want you back.
I don't miss what we had.
Could someone give a message to the smallest man who ever lived?
You didn't measure up in any measurе of a man
Were you sent by someone who wanted me dead?
Did you sleep with a gun underneath our bed?
Were you writing a book?
Were you a sleeper cell spy?
In fifty years will all this be declassified?
You'll confess why you did it and I'll say, "Good riddance".
It wasn't sexy once it wasn't forbidden.
I would've died for your sins, instead I just died inside.
You deserve prison, but you won't get time.
You said normal girls were "boring", but you were gone by the morning.
You kicked out the stage lights, but you're still performing.
You are what you did.
I'll forget you, but I'll never forgive.
THE ALCHEMY
This happens once every few lifetimes.
These chemicals hit me like white wine.
What if I told you I'm back?
The hospital was a drag.
Worst sleep that I ever had.
I circled you on a map.
I haven't come around in so long.
I'm coming back so strong.
Ditch the clowns, get the crown.
Baby, I'm the one to be.
The sign on your heart said it's still reserved for me.
Honestly, who are we to fight thе alchemy?.
Hey, you, what if I told you we'rе cool?
That child's play back in school is forgiven under my rule.
I'm making a comeback to where I belong
We've been on a winning streak.
There was no chance trying to be the greatest in the league.
He just comes, running over to me.
CLARA BOW
All your life, did you know, you'd be picked like a rose?
I'm not trying to exaggerate, but I think I might die if it happened to me.
No one in my small town thought I'd see the lights of Manhattan.
This town is fake but you're the real thing.
Take the glory, give everything.
Promise to be dazzling.
The crowd goes wild at her fingertips.
No one in my small town thought I'd meet these suits in LA.
You're the real queen.
You're the new god we're worshipping.
Beauty is a beast that roars down on all fours demanding more.
Only when your girlish glow flickers just so.
It's hell on earth to be heavenly.
Them's the brakes, they don't come gently.
You've got edge, she never did.
The future's bright, dazzling.

TAYLOR SWIFT / EVERMORE
The following is a collection of lyric sentence starters from Taylor Swift’s ninth studio album evermore. Some lyrics have been slightly modified for ease of role-playing. Feel free to change any tense or pronouns. May contain mature content. This has been reposted from my old blog.
WILLOW
I’m rough on the surface, but you cut through like a knife
If it was an open-shut case I never would have known from the look on your face
Lost in your current like a priceless wine
The more that you say, the less I know
Wherever you stray, I follow
I'm begging for you to take my hand
I'm begging for you
I can feel you sneaking in
There was one prize I'd cheat to win
They count me out time and time again
Anywhere else is hollow
That's my man
I come back stronger than a '90s trend
Wait for the signal, and I'll meet you after dark
I'll meet you after dark
Show me the places where the others gave you scars
This is an open-shut case
I should’ve known from the look on your face
Hey, that's my man
Yeah, that's my man  
CHAMPAGNE PROBLEMS
You booked the night train for a reason
Your heart was glass, I dropped it
You told your family for a reason
You dropped my hand while dancing, left me out there standing
Love slipped beyond your reaches and I couldn't give a reason
This dorm was once a madhouse
Well, it's made for me
Soon they'll have the nerve to deck the halls that we once walked through
I never was ready so I watch you go
She would've made such a lovely bride, what a shame she's fucked in the head
Sometimes you just don't know the answer til someone's on their knees and asks you
You won't remember all my champagne problems  
GOLD RUSH
I don't like a gold rush
I don't like that anyone would die to feel your touch
Everybody wants you
Everybody wonders what it would be like to love you
What must it be like to grow up that beautiful?
I can't dare to dream about you anymore
My mind turns your life into folklore
I won't call you out on your contrarian shit
‘TIS THE DAMN SEASON
If I wanted to know who you were hanging with while I was gone, I would have asked you
There's an ache in you, put there by the ache in me
But if it's all the same to you it's the same to me
You could call me "babe" for the weekend
We could call it even
Remember how you watched me leave
You can run, but only so far
And the road not taken looks real good now
Hear me out, we could just ride around
The road not taken looks real good now and it always leads to you in my hometown
I won't ask you to wait if you don't ask me to stay
I wonder about the only soul who can tell which smiles I'm faking'
The heart I know I'm breaking' is my own
Even though I'm leaving' and I'll be yours for the weekend
​'Tis the damn season
TOLERATE IT
I notice everything you do or don't do
You're so much older and wiser
If it's all in my head tell me now
Tell me I've got it wrong somehow
I know my love should be celebrated but you tolerate it
I take your indiscretions all in good fun
I made you my temple, my mural, my sky - now I'm begging for footnotes in the story of your life
I'm begging for footnotes in the story of your life
You assume I'm fine, but what would you do if I break free and leave us in ruins?
Believe me, I could do it
NO BODY, NO CRIME
He did it
Her husband's actin' different, and it smells like infidelity
That ain't my Merlot on his mouth. That ain't my jewelry on our joint account
I think I'm gonna call him out
No, there ain't no doubt
I think he did it, but I just can't prove it
No body, no crime
I ain't letting' up until the day I die
Good thing my daddy made me get a boating license when I was fifteen
I've cleaned enough houses to know how to cover up a scene
She was with me, dude
They think she did it, but they just can't prove it
Good thing his mistress took out a big life insurance policy
I wasn't letting' up until the day he died
HAPPINESS
I see this for what it is
All the years I've given is just shit we're dividing' up
I can't face reinvention
There will be happiness after you
There was happiness because of you
Haunted by the look in my eyes that would've loved you for a lifetime
Tell me, when did your winning smile begin to look like a smirk?
I hope she'll be your beautiful fool, who takes my spot next to you
No, I didn't mean that
Sorry, I can't see facts through all of my fury
You haven't met the new me yet
There will be happiness after me
There was happiness because of me
I can't make it go away by making you a villain
I pulled your body into mine every goddamn night, now I get fake niceties
No one teaches you what to do when a good man hurts you and you know you hurt him, too
All you want from me now is the green light of forgiveness
After giving you the best I had, tell me what to give after that?
All you want from me now is the green light of forgiveness. You haven't met the new me yet and I think she'll give you that
DOROTHEA
Do you ever stop and think about me?
A tiny screen's the only place I see you now
I got nothing but well-wishes for ya
This place is the same as it ever was but you don't like it that way
It's never too late to come back to my side
You're a queen selling' dreams, selling' makeup and magazines
From you I'd buy anything
But are you still the same soul I met under the bleachers?
I guess I'll never know
If you're ever tired of being known for who you know, you'll always know me.
CONEY ISLAND
If I can't relate to you anymore then who am I related to?
And if this is the long haul how'd we get here so soon?
Did I close my fist around something delicate?
Did I shatter you?
Sorry for not making you my centerfold
What's a lifetime of achievement if I pushed you to the edge but you were too polite to leave me?
Do you miss the rogue who coaxed you into paradise and left you there?
Will you forgive my soul when you're too wise to trust me and too old to care?
We were like the mall before the internet
Were you waiting at our old spot: in the tree line by the gold clock?
Did I leave you hanging every single day?
When I got into the accident the sight that flashed before me was your face
IVY
Your touch brought forth an incandescent glow, tarnished but so grand
I just sit here and wait, grieving for the living
My pain fits in the palm of your freezing hand
My pain fits in the palm of your freezing hand taking mine, but it's been promised to another
Stop you putting roots in my dreamland
I wish to know the fatal flaw that makes you long to be magnificently cursed
Your opal eyes are all I wish to see
I'd live and die for moments that we stole
What would he do if he found us out?
Dare to sit and watch what we'll become
It's a goddamn blaze in the dark and you started it
It's the goddamn fight of my life and you started it  
COWBOY LIKE ME
Dancing' is a dangerous game
I'm never gonna love again  
I've got some tricks up my sleeve
Takes one to know one
Never wanted love, just a fancy car
You're a cowboy like me
I’m telling all the rich folks anything they wanna hear
You're a bandit like me
Never thought I'd meet you here
We could be the way forward and I know I'll pay for it
The skeletons in both our closets plotted hard to fuck this up
The old men that I've swindled really did believe I was the one
Now you hang from my lips like the Gardens of Babylon
Forever is the sweetest con  
LONG STORY SHORT
I tried to pick my battles 'til the battle picked me
I was in the alley, surrounded on all sides
Long story short, it was a bad time
If the shoe fits, walk in it 'til your high heels break
I clung to the nearest lips and long story short, it was the wrong guy
Now I'm all about you
Actually, I always felt I must look better in the rear view - missing me.
If someone comes at us, this time, I'm ready
No more keeping' score, now I just keep you warm
Past me, I wanna tell you not to get lost in these petty things
Your nemeses will defeat themselves before you get the chance to swing
He feels like home
Long story short, I survived  
MARJORIE
Never be so kind you forget to be clever
Never be so clever you forget to be kind
If I didn't know better I'd think you were talking to me now
If I didn't know better I'd think you were still around
You're alive in my head
What died didn't stay dead
You're alive, so alive
Never be so polite you forget your power
Nevеr wield such power you forget to be polite
I should've asked you questions
Should've kept every grocery store receipt cause every scrap of you would be taken from me
I know better but you're still around
I still feel you all around  
CLOSURE
It's been a long time and seeing the shape of your name still spells out pain
Yes, I'm doing better
I don't need your closure
Yes, I got your letter
Don't treat me like some situation that needs to be handled
I'm fine with my spite and my tears, and my beers and my candles
I know I'm just a wrinkle in your new life
Staying friends would iron it out so nice
EVERMORE
Gray November, I've been down since July
I replay my footsteps on each stepping stone trying to find the one where I went wrong
I couldn't be sure
I had a feeling so peculiar that this pain would be for evermore
Guess I'm feeling unmoored
Can't remember what I used to fight for
Can't not think of all the cost and the things that will be lost
To be certain, we'll be tall again
Is there a line that I could just go cross?
And when I was shipwrecked I thought of you
It was real enough to get me through
I dreamed of you
I swear you were there
I had a feeling so peculiar, this pain wouldn't be for evermore  
RIGHT WHERE YOU LEFT ME
Friends break up
I'm right where you left me
Help
I'm still at the restaurant
I swear you could hear a hair pin drop
What a sad sight...
I felt the moment stop
They expected me to find perspective
Everybody moved on, but I stayed there
You left me no choice
You left me no choice but to stay here forever
Did you ever hear about the girl who got frozen?
Time went on for everyone else
Did you hear about the girl who lives in delusion?
Breakups happen every day
I was still the one you wanted
If our love died young, I can't bare witness
If you ever think you got it wrong, I'm right where you left me
IT'S TIME TO GO
He's insisting that friends look at each other like that
The words of a sister come back in whispers
She's a crook that was caught
She was not in fact what she seemed
You know when it's time to go
Twenty years at that job, then the boss of the son gets the spot....
Keeping it how it was will only break hearts worse
Sometimes giving up is the strong thing
Sometimes walking out is the one thing that will find you the right thing
Sometimes to run is the brave thing
I gave my all
He gave me nothing at all
He's got my past frozen behind glass but I've got me
You will know in your soul that it's time to go

I saw this interesting looking ask meme about Flight Rising stuff, but instead of using it as it was actually intended I just answer all the questions without anyone having to send me asks.
           Ask me things!        
Basics
Dragonhome - What’s the meaning behind your username?
hitodama89 is just the name I use everywhere I go.
Sea of a Thousand Currents - Why did you join Flight Rising?
I had some friends who had already joined and they seemed to have good time, so I just jumped in, too!
The Ashfall Waste - What’s your favorite part of the site?
Bestiary and collecting familiars.
The Windswept Plateau - Have you gotten friends of yours to join FR?
My brother and mother, hahah! Neither of them are all that active, though.
The Southern Icefield - What’s your favorite flight?
Water. <3
The Tangled Wood - What’s your favorite FR deity?
I would love it if the deities were a bit more active part of the game... But as it is I like Arcanist a lot.
The Scarred Wasteland - When did you join Flight Rising?
2014-10-13
The Sunbeam Ruins - What’s your favorite lair aesthetic (doesn’t have to be your own)?
I freaking love Egyptian looking dragons! =0 Haven’t seen a whole lair full of them yet, though.
The Shifting Expanse - Do you exalt a lot of dragons or do you keep them?
I exalt a lot. That is right now my main income in the game.
The Viridian Labyrinth - Do you have a favorite familiar?
Psywurm!
Starfall Isles - Favorite piece of trivia you learned on the site?
I love the idea of Podid Town. =‘‘‘D It is mentioned in one of Tomo’s trivia questions.
Lore
Earthshaker - What role(s) do your progens play in your lore (if they do at all)?
They are the dragons that formed the clan.
Tidelord - Does the element of your dragons’ eyes matter to you in lore?
Well, it just means that they were born in the respective flight’s area.
Flamecaller - How do you determine jobs for the dragons in your clan?
I just think what would suit their looks and possible nature.
Windsinger - Does your clan interact with other users’ clans and does that impact lore?
Nowadays not too much. When I first started I got quite a lot of dragons from my friends and those dragons have a few sentences worth of lore about their origin.
Icewarden - Does FR’s official site lore play into your own?
I try to keep it in mind when designing stuff for dragons.
Shadowbinder - Do you have any lore about how your dragons view exalting? If so what is it?
It is a religious event where the exalted dragon is physically send to serve under the clan’s deity. Usually it is a great honor, but I have some dragons that don’t see it solely as a good thing.
Plaguebringer - Do you keep lore if a dragon already has it or do you change it to fit your clan?
I keep it in some form.
Lightweaver - What’s the story behind your clan?
There isn’t really one. =‘) My progens met each other, hung out together for a while and decided to form a new clan.
Stormcatcher - What catches your eye in other people’s lore?
I am pretty lazy at reading long stories and stuff. I like it when things are clear and compact and don’t contradict official lore too much.
Gladekeeper - Do your dragons’ names follow any themes/patterns and if so does that play into their lore?
It depends on who named them. If it was someone outside my clan the name can be anything, but dragons born within the clan usually have names that doesn’t mean anything irl. Certain families also have their own themes.
Arcanist - Do you like writing lore or reading it more?
Reading, I guess. Writing tends to be a pain in the ass.
The Beastclans - Is there an antagonist in your lore? If so, who?
Not really. My clan haven’t had any incidents with Shade and they don’t have enemy clans or anything.
Breeds
Fae - Who’s your random progen?
Marus.
Mirror - Who’s the progen you made?
Carran.
Guardian - What’s your favorite starter breed?
Guardians, but I really do like them all.
Tundra - What’s your favorite breed?
Pearlcathers. Though I tend to handle their nature a bit differently than what has been written about them in the official article.
Pearlcatcher - Is there a breed you like the pose of one gender over the other?
Many, actually, one of them being Imperials. The pose of female Imperial is pretty but a bit difficult to work with.
Ridgeback - What’s one breed you could never go without having in your lair?
Guardians and Pearlcathers.
Snapper - Is there a breed you like the hatchlings better than the adults, and if so what breed?
Not really. Hatchlings are cute and I would even love to have some permababies, but there isn’t really anything that would look a lot better as hatchling than as adult.
Spiral - Do you make breeding pairs for a specific outcome?
Very rarely. Usually I just buy individual dragons and at some point realize that some of them would produce nice babies together.
Skydancer - Do you like to make mates match?
Once again very rarely.
Bogsneak - How often do you impulse buy dragons?
Never really. I am darn picky with my dragons which isn’t all that good considering how poor I am, too, hahah. That’s why my lair is so tiny.
Imperial - What’s one breed you just don’t like for whatever reason?
I know it’s a cliche but Snappers. They are okay and I would never wish to see them for example disappear from the site, but they just are a bit too non-dragon looking for my taste.
Nocturne - Do you collect gen 1s?
Nah. Still poor af.
Coatl - Which dragon breed has your favorite lore, regardless of how much you like/dislike how they look?
Guardians.
Wildclaw - Do breeding cooldowns frustrate you?
No! I’m a patient person.
Flights
Light - What flight did you choose and why?
Water, because that’s my favorite element.
Earth - Do you have flight ambassadors? Why or why not?
No. Tbh I find them pretty boring as nearly every clan tends to have those.
Shadow - If you could change flights for a single day and go back to your own after, what would you switch to and why?
I would love to visit Plague to see what the heck they do to make their dom pushes so devastating. =‘D
Plague - What region of Sorneith is your favorite?
I love the nature of Windswept Plateau.
Water - Do you want your dragons’ eyes to match their colors, and if so does that impact what dragons you keep/breed?
It is not something I require from my dragons, but of course in some cases (Spirals and their huge eyes) it might affect my decisions.
Ice - What’s your favorite flight aesthetic (if you have one)?
Thiiiis was asked already.
Fire - What are your thoughts on dom pushes?
They are cool communal events! Too bad Water is pretty bad at them. => But we try our best!
Arcane - What’s your favorite thing about your flight?
I have never met a single rude or otherwise annoying person in Water.
Nature - Do you like finding newbies in your flight?
Naah; why would I..?
Wind - If you were to summarize each flight into three words, what words would you use for which flight?
Ggggh too much work.
Lightning - What’s your favorite familiar from your flight?
Maybe Seaweed Scavenger.
Customization
Primary - What are your favorite gene combinations on dragons (primary, secondary, and tertiary)? Share your faves!
Poison or Ripple, Toxin or Peregrine and Smoke or Runes.
Secondary - What’s your proudest gene project, if you have one?
Maybe Uppo. He has gone through way too many genes but now he is finally perfect.
Tertiary - If you have a dragon with poorly mixing colors, what is your preferred tertiary gene to try and compensate?
I just leave tertiary to basic if I can’t make it work at all.
Apparel - Do you prefer to dress your dragons for their roles or what you think looks best on them?
A mixture of both.
Accent - Have you ever seen an accent/skinscent/skin that you wished existed for another breed or gender?
Hmm, don’t at least remember.
Skinscent - What is your favorite skin, accent, or skinscent?
Accent: Magic Erosion. It just makes Lienn so pretty.
Skin - What’s your least favorite skin, accent, or skinscent?
Some trypophobic things that make my skin (haha) crawl. Haven’t taken down their names because why would I?
Original color wheel - List your top five favorite colors and why.
Teal, robin, abyss, pistachio aaand any blue/green. But what “why”? =‘D I just like them, that’s all there is.
Color wheel expansion - What’s your favorite gene and color combination (i.e. orca glimmer)? Share a dragon with that combo!
Haven’t spend too much time thinking stuff like this, but abyss Crystal is pretty badass.
Scrying Workshop - What is your dream dragon?
Don’t have one. It’s better for poor to not dream too big. =‘D
Trading and Socializing
Forums - What’s your favorite forum game and why?
Doodle the dragon above. It made me draw last year more than anything else.
Coliseum - Do you like to do coliseum?
Well, no, but I do it anyway when I need to.
Fairgrounds - What’s your favorite Fairgrounds game?
I hate them all. XD Or yes they are alright, but there is so little variation that you have to grind all of the games long enough to make you hate them if you plan on getting anything out of them.
Auction House - We’ve all done it, what one thing did you not notice a misclick while selling that still haunts you to this day?
I sold one of the Fox Rat familiars for treasure instead of gems. It still hurts.
Marketplace - Are you saving up for any big purchases right now?
For once no, I’m not!
Crossroads - Do you ever check in on dragons you’ve sold to see how they’re doing?
Yes I do. =D More often than you would think.
Dominance - Have you ever bought fodder, only to get attached and keep it?
Yup!
Trading Post - Have you made friends through or because of FR?
Naah. I’m not good at making friends.
Festivals and Events
Crystalline Gala - Do you like to participate in the holidays?
Of course! Gotta hoard me some new items.
Trickmurk Circus - Do you hoard elemental currency after the events are over or do you sell it off?
Neither, I just stack away the stuff I have and use it next year.
Mistral Jamboree - If you have elemental reps, do you dress them in their element’s holiday apparel?
-
Wavecrest Saturnalia - What’s your favorite elemental familiar?
Maybe Fire Sprite just because it was such an achievement to even get one of them.
Greenskeeper Gathering - Have you ever gotten an elemental egg?
A couple times. Never hatched one though, as I have pretty rotten luck.
Brightshine Jubilee - What was the first elemental holiday you ever participated in?
Riot of Rot. Back then I thought it was Riot OR Rot.
Thundercrack Carnivale - Are there events that you participate in on FR outside of the official festivals and events (secret Santa, trick or treat, etc)?
Yeah I took part in Secret Santa last Christmas!
Flameforger’s Festival - What do you do to prepare for an event?
Rest from Coliseum so I have what it takes to grind there during the festival.
Starfall Celebration - What’s your favorite elemental holiday?
Our own WaveSat.
Riot of Rot - Do you have any retired items or familiars that you want to come back for a holiday?
All the first year big apparels! I have no idea why they were so perfect but nearly everything after them have been pretty unusable for me. Also Light Sprite, haha.
Rockbreaker’s Ceremony - Does your flight do anything to prepare for events, if so what and do you participate in that?
During the already mentioned WaveSat we do some stuff, and I try to help as much as I can (which isn’t a lot though).
Week of Welcome - What do you think of the change in registration windows?
Good that the site can handle regular windows now!
Night of the Nocturne - What’s the coolest thing you’ve ever gotten in an event?
I won some boss familiar in a raffle once. It was the best.

How To
11 Best Hypothetical Questions
Always start with the best, right? These hypothetical questions allow for some great conversation about all the best speculative topics.
Here are the 11 best hypothetical questions:
1. You’re walking in a forest and you found a black suitcase. Inside it, holds 1 million dollar and a piece of paper stained in blood with a single word “Don’t”. Would you take the suitcase home or leave it?
It’s the start of a great story, if people make the right hypothetical choices.
2. You are at war. Deciphering an intercepted code, you learn two things about your enemy. A single spot in their defense will be at its weakest in ten days, and they will attack on of your cities in five days. What do you do with this information? What is the most efficient course of action?
Is victory or defending others the most important thing in life and war?
3. If you could really sell your soul to the devil, what would you sell it for?
The oldest bargain on offer, but what would actually make it worth it?
4. You find a book and begin to read only to discover that it is your life. You get to the point that you are at now, do you turn the page knowing that you will not be able to change the events to come?
Would knowing the future be exciting or spoil the adventure?
5. If you were really a robot, would you want to know?
A deep question about how we define ourselves.
6. If you got to choose between fifty years of being incredibly happy or to live forever and be unhappy what would you choose?
What price would you pay to be immortal?
