29 The dread witch Alice whos domain is the constructed, synthetic and artificial. her magic is still yet immature. She sits with palms upturned and hands and fingers bent back in unnatural angles, her legs are crossed first at the thigh, then at the calf and then again at the ankle and she stands taller than most mortals.

What I’ve realized is that I believe that the matter of gender is practical and relational. It’s not about who you are inside, it’s more about how you would feel most comfortable in the world. It’s not ‘Who are you?’ but ‘How do you want to live?’
Had that been the discourse when I was coming up, I would have breathed a sigh of relief. I don’t have to figure out who I am on the inside, I just have to figure out how I want to live.

President Biden to hold press conference today to discuss the findings of an Army Corps of Engineers team sent to probe the mysterious, apparently natural structure discovered under the floorboards during fumigation of the Lincoln Bedroom. "It's just a moaning wound in the earth; it's disgusting and unsanitary and it needs to be sealed quickly" reported one staffer; "They're not gonna play the tape they recorded inside of it, and if it ever leaks, don't listen to it" suggested another.

Rumored contents of the hole - internal dimensions much, much larger than the White House itself - include human remains, blind white spiders of unknown species, a slanted gouge in the earth too narrow and treacherous to investigate further, and a "biomechanical chrysalis" stated to be over six feet long, contents unknown

Ok so the game had to be pushed back a few days so we can figure out scheduling so heres the gist of it.

The more people you have for this game, the better. It has to happen at night. The people get into a straight line, and begin to walk in that line all around the area. They cannot turn around and look at each other, and cannot speak; with the exception of the person at the front of the line.

That persons job is to begin the role call. They simply say, “Role Call!” And their name, then each person down the line says their name in turn.

Here’s the kicker: there’s one person not included in the line. The Taker. They have the job of stealing away the person at the end of the line as silently as possible. The game’s sole purpose is to instill a sense of fear and paranoia in whoever is in front, because as more people get taken, there are less and less people to say their names during the Role Call.

The front person decides when they want to start the Role Call. Obviously, the more often it’s said, the less scary it is. But as more and more people disappear, they become Takers and can then do more damage than just the one.

Some Takers can replace the person they stole, making the person directly in front of them either incredibly paranoid or safe. At least until the Role Call. Takers cannot say anything during it, so it usually ends up more terrifying to know that the person behind you is silent. Again, everyone in the line cannot make a sound except responding to the Role Call.

The game is over when the person in front is taken. There is no winning, only waiting. Waiting for your turn to go. Imagine the fear that person in front has, when they softly announce “Role Call” only to find that everyone behind them is gone.

Not exactly a game for the weak willed.

My reactions to this, in order 1. What The Hell Kind of Creepy Horror Movie Punishment Game Bullshittery is this?

2. I want to play it Right The Fuck Now.
