Game 140
Who: Anyone
Where: The Arena
When: Day 229, noonish
What: [On the throne today is a smiling youth, face ringed by black curls. He has a harp-like instrument in his lap and a pen behind his ear. It's been a while since any have seen him, but, perhaps, to the oldest and most keen observers here, he seems perhaps a touch thinner than last time. The Arena is not terribly decorated for his appearance, indeed, if not for the statue sitting there, one would not be sure this was really a call at all.]

Good afternoon, duckies, good afternoon! Who's ready for some wholesome (and platonic!) self-exploration and completely non-fatal fun, hmm? I know I certainly am. Yes, I'm sure you've all been having just unbearable amounts of fun, but you know, let's just- . . .

[clears his throat]

Ahem. Sorry, I was saying, let's just slow it down. Maybe, oh, I don't know, talk about our feelings a while.

((Technically, yes, this is a loser game, but anyone can play.))

	I guess so? It's fine if it's just what you want to do. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It is. I don't like it when things are unbalanced. One person will try to take too much weight onto their shoulders that way and become too stressed, and everyone else will begin to feel the strain because of it so it only gets worse and worse. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	This team's flaw is that everyone tries to balance everyone else instead of balancing themselves first. But I think it's been getting more obvious recently. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: [CEPHEUS] fill_the_blanks 2011-04-06 04:57 am UTC (link)
	Exactly. That's why if everyone decided to take care of themselves a little more it wouldn't be a problem. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: [CEPHEUS] sharksong 2011-04-06 05:00 am UTC (link)
	We'd have to do it all at once. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: [CEPHEUS] fill_the_blanks 2011-04-06 05:14 am UTC (link)
	'Cause Cepheus is full of people who wanna look out for everyone else first, right? But everyone just ends up trying to help everyone else and putting off looking after themselves until everyone else is happy. It just becomes a cycle. Doing it all together is one way, but the quicker way is to look after yourself so other people can relax. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I've been trying to, but it isn't working very well, I think . . . or things like—b-bad games happen . . . (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[pigtail pull...] There's always gonna be stuff throwing you off. You just gotta keep at it. Don't worry about if it's working or not, that's not the point. Focus in, not out. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

But I'm . . . I don't know what to do with myself. I couldn't even do anything in the last game. I . . . S-Syaoran had to take over. And I—I know . . . I'm just a normal person. Of course I can't . . . I can't handle that kind of thing. But I'm still mad at myself for it even though I think I'd have hated myself for helping too.

How do I work on something like that?

	[pets] It's fine if you're mad at yourself, or don't know what to do... Probably it's best just to let yourself feel that way for a while and promise yourself you'll move on when you're ready, right? I'm not saying you have to be happy or satisfied or ok all the time or anything, just do what's healthy for you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
