Welcome to Night Vale

I could use a distraction and an excuse to keep drinking so who wants to play Never Have I Ever? Rules are simple: grab a bottle of your favorite liquor and when you've done the thing, take a drink, then pitch a scenario. I'll start with...

Never have I ever gone to college.

I am not a contest person. I am barely even a watch contest person. They make me anxious and I always end up thinking that the wrong person won.

So it's strange that I ended signing up for a baking contest. One that I only sort of remember signing up for.

I'm pretty sure I'll be laughed out of the competition. Maybe I'd be better off learning to fight and joining the fight club.

Well, that was fun while it lasted. Jon officially has smitedsmote my icebat. It was pretty calm at first but then it got nasty. I don't know what happened to it. Luckily no one got too badly hurt. I just got a black eye when I tripped over a chair leg.

I am not an athlete.

Definitely not where I expected the metro card to take me.

I kind of thought the afterlife was going to be something different Something familiar maybe

But it could be worse, I guess.

I'm Quentin. Quentin Coldwater. Nice desert you've got here.

Where’s the best place to go for birthday drinks? This is a milestone for me and should be celebrated.

Okay so like.. there's this fun game to play with friends to get to know each other better and stuff, it's called two truths and a lie. Basically the rules are you get to say three wild and crazy things about yourself in any order; two are true and one is made up.

The goal of the game is to guess which one is the lie for other people while hoping it takes the others a few rounds to guess your lie.


I'll go first as an example:

🕸️ My first Halloween trick or treating I went as a unicorn astronaut space princess.
🕸️ I still own a bunch of Beanie Babies from my tween years.
🕸️ I once hopped dimensions just to get a pair of handcuffs off.

I stopped by the bank and honestly...I've never identified so strongly with an ATM in my life.

Does anyone need help with their horrible egg abominations? Because I can probably smite them if anyone's in a spot.

I can no longer thrive in this household.

a) Please...just please stop shouting my name across the flat, followed by the most inane question possible. No, Tim, I cannot tell you what opinion fish collectively have about ska music. I'm not an Alexa. Also an Alexa probably couldn't tell you that either. Sasha, please stop asking me how to make a meringue. Just use your smartphone. Or ask Martin. He's the one who can bake. I can cook. I cannot bake.

b) Why is this our fridge:
( cut for image again )

That's not even true.

c) Martin, this does not apply to you, you've done nothing wrong.

d) Same to Georgie.

[ PI OFFICE ]

I forgot how much I hate suspected infidelity cases.

For the record: she's absolutely sleeping with the pool boy. And I am never going to get that image out of my brain.

"I missed you," he mumbled. "I really did miss you."

With more free time on my hands than I'm used to, even with working, I'm trying to figure out some new things to learn to keep myself busy. What's a hobby you've (the general you) always wanted to take up but never got the chance to or what's a hobby you already love? Just gauging ideas here.

[archives crew + georgie]

I like to think I'd know the answer to this already, but have any of you gone into the Institute yet?

[tim stoker]

Lunch with me soon?

So, first of all thanks so much to everyone who reached out when I was stuck in song lyrics land. It was a pretty frustrating day that got turned a little better.

Secondly, if people have any sort of personal bits of weird and or spooky lore they find interesting, or have any personal knowledge of that of their world I am always happy to have a co-host for my show. Of course, you don't need to talk on air if you find that uncomfortable.

Back when I was in the last place I was stuck at, there was a local theater where we'd put on musicals once a season. I was in two of them, and they were a lot of fun.

Is there anything like that here? Or is local theater here like weird plays where we all stand on the stage and chant things?

Or would people be interested in putting something on? I'm still getting familiar with American musicals, but I've really liked the ones I've been in.

[Bakugo]

If I find a play, you should try out with me. Or sign up to build sets or something. Now, before you tell me it's stupid just think about it, okay? You said you wanted something to do, and it's something new.

...Maybe it'll be something that requires special effects and they'll let you blow things up.

I hate this so much, Tim.

Right, so. I've realised I've been rubbish at meeting new people around here since I arrived and it might do me some good to broaden my horizons. In an attempt to get to know some more of you, I'm going to post a selection of silly ice breaker questions below, so please feel free to answer however many you'd like!

1. If you were a potato, what way would you like to be cooked?
2. What song describes your life right now?
3. What/where is your favourite place from home?
4. What's the worst pick up line you’ve ever heard?
5. Do you prefer books or films?
6. Describe yourself in one word?
7. Who would you want on your team in a zombie apocalypse?
8. Name one thing still on your bucket list?
9. What would your entrance theme song be?
10. Did you ever have an imaginary friend?

Sasha said she'd go with me to the Station today, but I can't seem to find her? She's not answering her phone either.

I don't want to ring any alarms, but yes. Bit worried.

If a curry is food on top of starch...just, as a general category.

Is a loaded baked potato a curry?

Thoughts?

Does anyone have any horrific experiences of a supernatural nature that they would be willing to discuss at length?

I'm legally obligated in that my boyfriend said I really should to tell you that if you do, there is a not-insignificant chance you will have strange recurring dreams about the incident in question.

If you're interested, please do let me know.

Well, that was certainly a choice that I made.

Does this technically count as self-care?

Would you like to sit in if people give statements?

You can be a mug if you'd prefer.
