Synchronic Frieren reference

[Ashley] TFW Alice stalks you.

[Bear] too much walking for bestie and she wanted me to carry her so aparently I can still carry her like a toddler, one armed. What else is there to report? 30 miles of walking as expected, no one got sick this time, gained 10lbs in 3 days, still up 3 but it's slowly coming back down, I'm calorie counting for life now so no biggie. Had fun? Did I? Never talked to the exgf's sister's SO once, he's total aspie or smth. Stayed in the room with bestie mama and bestie, two beds, awful beds, too hard, this is 5☆? Pillows way too thick, I used a blanket as a pillow and it was rough like a towel. My back doesn't like hard beds, felt instantly better when I got up. No problem sleeping though.

[Bear] Idk, shit's expensive, hate spending money, 5k free money didn't cover it like it was insane. Would never do it myself now it's a "tradition" or some shit they're talking about next year. Food was generally awful, I like my own food. Everyone loved it but I was just waiting for it to be over, fun for 5 minutes maybe. Lots of boring mixed in. Eating whatever I wanted got old too.

[Bear] had a little fun in a heated pool, still a little cold though. I'm too thin now apparently, no blubber to stand even 83F water for long. Bestie and I played in the pool two of the days for like 4 hours total. She's 10 now apparently. Time flies. Damn I was so young when she was born. I'm old now. I've been broken up with Exgf for 6 years now, like... she broke me, I don't want another relationship even now. I think about it sometimes like Exgf sis and SO kissing and shit, good for her, she's 8 years younger, I didn't feel anything like no jealousy, she's cute but I knew her when she was 14? 13? I can't think of her as a grown woman.

[Bear] what else, service was ok. Who needs it though. I played a role, tried to be excited and happy for bestie and them all but it was very boring overall. They literally have to pay me to do this, it should tell you something. I'm self-entertained so I could hang but I'm really not into it.

[Bear] bestie is like having my own kid sometimes. Her mama (long time fren) spoils her. She's not ADHD or Autistic but she can get pissy when she's hungry, she was acting out a little pushing boundaries with me and I tried to discipline her but then mama immediately negated it. Fine, don't care, don't have to live with her.

[Bear] the rooms connected so it was like sleeping in a dorm. Didn't matter anyway all we did was crash and get back at it early. Kinda more fun last year as everything was new. Idk man.

I was thinking, the world cannot end, that's too boring, too easy. We're here to experience miracles and terrifying feats. To die is too simple. It's simply boring.

And I've been living my life like every year was my last for six years. I like it this way though, because what do I want to do in my last year? I want to work, I want to strive to fill every moment with something constructive. I want anything other than boredom. So I do and I'm not bored. Vacation is boring, doing nothing is boring. If I must live, I will work every moment because it's fun. Why would I ever think of retirement, that's boring, yet I have these retirement accounts and they're filling up with money I'll never see? Why? So later I can change my mind? What sort of mind would that be? Not mine. I won't spend it either, on what? I have three cars already, I lack nothing. Spending money is boring too.

Maybe just being drunk every moment isn't boring, I remember, but I refuse to do that, so I must fill every moment with work and I like it that way, even to the detriment of sleep. Sleep is also boring, I always thought so.

So the world will not end, but if it does, then I'll be surprised, it'll be funny.

[Ashley] Smh, this guy. Well he's not boring at least. this is when he's at the happiest moments of his life, imagine him depressed? We did, and it's not pretty sheesh.

Whatever comes, let's do this. But I know it won't be a quick end, this is my fate, to live on for decades more, even three times my current age or more. I feel like my life's already been three lifetimes. I guess I'm a cat, three down 6 more to go.

>30 miles of walking
>gained 10 lbs
How do you do that??

>bed too hard
>pillow too thick
You sound like a German. Whenever we read reviews of some places I want to rent for holidays there's always some German coomplaining about the pillows and beds. Some complain it's too hard, others it's too soft. But they must complain. Host never minded but then again he's half your weight.

>5000K for a few days
Why do Americans always have to spend so much money on (((entertainment)))? That's insane. Well, tbh I'd be bored too. I don't like hanging out with other filthy humans for prolonged times, meeting with host's crazy friends or family for a few hours is fine but spending holidays together? I'd also think about the countless wörk we could do on our own.

>had a little fun in a heated pool, still a little cold though. I'm too thin now apparently, no blubber to stand even 83F water for long. Bestie and I played in the pool two of the days for like 4 hours total
Children are insanely tough. And hyperactive. They can spend hours playing in ice-cold water that would make host body faint in a few minutes. Well he has no insulation whatsoever. Bad surface-volume ratio. Froze to death even with a neoprene suit while scuba diving.

Well anyway cherish it, Bestie will soon hit puberty and stop playing with Uncle Bear. Because you're old. And boring.

>How do you do that??

[Ashley] Don't underestimate the power of a hungry Bear left to eat everyone's leftovers because "this food is expensive". There was a buffet and trust me, no buffet will tirn a profit the day Bear is given carte blanche.

>sound like a German

I'm 1/4 German

>That's insane.

I'm fucking telling you god damnit

>hanging out with other filthy humans

Without bestie, I would have died.

>Gundren, you mentioned you experienced something like this before? Do you know anything about dragons?

Gundren looks at you with a sparkle in his eye and a smile on his face, more talking to himself than anyone. "Eye though I might appear to be youthful and spry, I've been kicking around Faerûn for many a year. It was the time of the last flight of dragons, back then many a horse or ox was taken. In the beginning we just thought they'd run off or met their end with a large owlbear but what was something that might have happened once a season became a matter of lottery every trip. Boy do we not need that again, but it ended as most things do, with a slow decrease until well, just last night. It was ages ago though lass. Back when a young dwarf's heart turned to fancy every lass he laid his eyes on. Though these old eyes don't see so well, and fancy is reserved for dreaming of the profits from an old mine." He continues in more of a nostalgic mumble to himself as he saddles his horse.

"Ready for just you and me Nell?" He says to his horse.

"Decide who you want to drive the cart, the horses know where to go, it'll scarcely be different from yesterday." He then talks your ear off about ruts and repairing the cart.

Yulya yawns and unwillingly gets out of her comfy warm bedroll and gets dressed.
Good morning!
As promised I will hand out one candy to everyone for today!''
Yulya gives a candy to Alice Ashley and Cat and eats one herself which instantly fills her with energy''

>>4466
>"Decide who you want to drive the cart, the horses know where to go"
I would like to drive the cart. If things get rough Cat can take over.

>"it'll scarcely be different from yesterday."
Without mountain lions and dragons I hope...
Yulya laughs nervously

Ashley where do you want to be in our formation? Cat will be in front and Alice in the back.

>I'm going to be the lookout or something. I'll hop up top for a while to start
Perfect I already wanted to suggest this!Tell us immediately if anything even feels off!

>Gundren trots up to Yulya, "feels powerful don't it?
Yulya feels intimidated by the power of the horses first but quickly gets used to it. They know what to do and almost no steering is needed. Driving the cart is much more fun than riding in the back.

>Ashley finds a small patched backpack with a steel buckle, and inside is:
>Clay pot of salted herring in good condition, weighing in at 10 lbs and valued at 18sp with 10 servings of delicious fermented preserved fish!
>A large thick-walled glass jar with a cork stopper in new condition with a weight of 2lbs and a value of 10sp capable of storing 20lbs of raw dry goods or liquids.
I wonder how this ended up here its not something you just lose. We better be careful this could easily be a trap. But food and a glass jar arent a bad find at all! Good work, Ashley!

>Ashley looks down at the road and easily finds two sets of hoof prints heading East, "That-a-way!"
Yulya doesnt even have to steer the horses know the way and turn east on the triboar trail. She doesnt stop but addresses the others''
This crossing looks like a good place for an ambush. Stay alert everyone!

>>4466
>Gundren then talks your ear off about ruts and repairing the cart.
Alice listenes with great interest. This man knows a lot!

>>4468
>Yulya gives a candy to Alice
Delish!
Alice happily munches the candy and then follows behind the cart as rear guard, carrying her bow ready to shoot anything that approaches. The spear is tucked in her obi and carried on her back.

At the road fork, Alice watches the continuing high road to prevent ambushes from behind.
