Hey, so. Between those Amphoria Pods showing off our memories of home and Valentine's Day coming up next month, I have to admit I've been thinking about something a lot lately, so why not let's make a game of it?

What's the funniest, wildest, or most embarrassing thing you've ever done in order to impress somebody you liked?

It has to be something you actually did! I mean, I know there's no good way of keeping somebody from just making something up, but that'd ruin the spirit of the game, you know? Oh, and don't say something really mortifying or awful or indecent, okay? It's not supposed to be THAT kind of game. Here's a good rule of thumb: if it's not the kind of thing you can laugh about now, it's probably not the kind of thing this game is getting at!

Mm, I feel like I should offer up some kind of prize for playing, too, so...how about a free extra drink with your next purchase of table time at Beans! Cat Cafe? You already get one drink for free with your table ordinarily, so with an extra, you can bring a plus-one along with you! A cute date gift in exchange for a meet-cute sort of story, courtesy of Beans! Yeah, I like that a lot.

That must be kind of strange, using something like joining the army just as a way of getting out of your town. Though I guess it's not that much different than any other job doing the same thing. And I guess in the American army you WOULD have the opportunity to go a lot more places...

Haha, yeah! You wouldn't believe how many people come in just to take a nap with the cats. It's the reason we have those big pillows on the floor at all! And it's good for the cats, too, socializing them to be better housecats someday. Because it lets them be around people and all.

It was sold as a solution to a lot of people. Probably still is. For me, I thought it would be the easiest way to make a difference. Figure it out as I go along, right? I was with Delta Force but didn't travel too much since my Army career wasn't long. I settled in a small city where drugs and crime were becoming rampant. The idea was to have a specialized team of people who were especially experienced to help prevent it.

I believe it. I imagine it helps the adoption numbers if they feel like they bond with them, too. People coming and going probably especially helps their temperament.
