Niiiice! That sounds awesome. And I'm the same way. I was in theatre in middle/high school and improv in college. I know I'm not the most talented one out there (maybe partly because I'm not quite bold enough to just not care what people think and act the hell out things, even if it makes me look weird), but I enjoyed it thoroughly. YES please use "clock well" with him. That is definitely a good time pun. Well, let's you and I pray really hard to some god or thing somewhere (or just use the power of our minds/universe, whatever the hell you want to believe in) so that Jotunn goes to tribal, and Titans and Hitorigami can chill out for at least another round.

Happy head: I didn't use "clock well" but I dropped a couple of time puns so we'll see what he says.
I did a lot of improv in college, we had a team that was mostly my friends playing various improv games. It was a lot of fun and i think it helped us get out of our shell a little bit and not fear presentations because we were used to thinking quickly to make them interesting. certainly a useful skill to have.
Angry head: I'm anxious for the results now, it feels like it's been so long since I've done the challenge even though it hasn't been that long at all.

Happy head: Man he's just like "30 minutes until results " and I'm like I just wasted such good pun material on you why do i even bother sometimes

Cool! I never thought about the benefits of improv with public speaking. I can imagine how that would help.
Dang it, sorry that that was all you got out of Kronos.
Well… I’m glad your tribe did well. But now mine is shrinking again. I think we’re voting for Kitsune, but gosh, none of us want to. It feels like being kicked when you’re down, you know?

Happy head: Yeah, it was really helpful in college. We haven't done it in a while so I don't know if we'd be any good at it now, though.
I think i'm going to keep dropping time puns and see how long it takes him to get it...I'll keep you updated.
Angry head: should have thrown the challenge for you...
Sad head: sorry you're back at tribal council. i think it is believed that we'll swap soon and we can get you to a tribe with safety, hopefully.
Happy head: Kitsune seems nice but she didn't PM much during the last round so I never got a chance to know her. Best of luck.

The mods have certainly hinted at a swap happening soon. Honestly, whatever happens, I just want to avoid tribal for a while, no matter who I'm with. My heart can't take this constant yeeting of people!
Yeah, Kitkat has been off and on with activity, and none of us have heard from her in 24-48 hours, which is not good. She's great to talk to when she's here, but that's not enough at this point. We have to make a decision, and she's the most obvious choice. We don't have any good reasons to boot anyone else. I'm thinking about telling her that, to give her a heads-up and an apology.

Happy head: Yeah, that would be nice, we don't like having you in danger all the time! I'm glad you've been off the chopping block but it's still scary. I wonder what the tribe swap is going to look like!
Sad head: i forgot about her kitkat nickname, so adorable...it's sad she's kind of gone awol i guess, she did seem nice but at the same time you can't really do that in survivor. i think you should do whatever your heart tells you with regards to letting her know.
Angry head: it also may be good especially if you're not the first person to let her know to be on the bandwagon.
Happy head: I don't know if the arrows can help save anyone in this situation I honestly haven't been paying attention to them.

Happy head: I said "we cleaned their clocks" to Kronos so we'll see if he catches on to my tomfoolery.

I did send her a heartfelt, honest, and fairly sad PM letting her know that she's the most obvious choice right now, and that I hope she's okay, and that we'd love to hear from her. I've been in her shoes, and it sucks. I wanted to be there for her in any way that I could.
So I have the arrows, actually, and... no. They're not going to help. Because sure, I don't want to lose Kitkat, but I would prefer not to lose any of the others compared to her, if you know what I mean. You can only use an arrow to null a vote towards one specific person (or you could select multiple arrows to void multiple votes for one specific person). If my entire tribe is voting for Kitsune, then voiding any of those votes won't make a difference. It'll just waste an arrow. Which is frustrating. We have no way out of this unless Kitsune has some secret idol that will grant her immunity. I'd be cool with that. She's welcome to stick around. We just need her to be... *around*.

Sad head: i know it's hard but it's nice of you to send that to her. she could have the hammer idol but who knows. it is a tough position to be in but in the end like we mentioned you have to be present to play survivor. that doesn't mean we have to lose who we are in order to proceed or succeed.
Happy head: oh! Congratulations on the arrows! I have no skill at that estimating game so I stopped trying, thinking no one is going to be able to be precise enough for a while. But that's cool.

Yeah, if she has the hammer, that's awesome. I'm envious of whoever got it! I wonder when that happened.
I... I apparently have a bit of a hidden skill when it comes to that eyeball game. I mean, I'm not good at every single type of... what do you even call those... versions of mathematical hell (how's that?) but I've gotten surprisingly good. Now that I've gotten the arrows once, though, I don't know if I'll keep doing it. I get easily frustrated when I mess up on it. Then again... they could be useful later on after a swap.

Happy head: what do you think happens if she uses the hammer? I hope you're safe in that case!
Angry head: for some reason we can do the center of the circle really well but everything else is so damn hard! It doesn't hurt to have control of them but it's up to you. I can't really help but i'll give it a try next round and see where i land.
Happy head: We've got some friends coming over today and we're really excited except we're so far behind in cleaning the house, hope it's going to be okay...anything fun going on this weekend for you?

I'm assuming it's some kind of immunity-related thing... I don't know. I should be plenty safe. I'm very active compared to Kitsune (and the dwarves; they were briefly mentioned as an option). That's really the only thing people are using to determine their votes right now. Yeah, I'm discussing it with my tribe, to see if there's any benefit to using the arrows in any way. There are 7 left, and if I don't use any, one will automatically be subtracted, so the next person will only have 6. Yay! Enjoy spending time with your friends! My family and I are still figuring out Fourth of July plans, but I know good food and laughter will be the main goals of the weekend, haha.

Happy head: That's good. The dwarves are nice but I prefer you stay to them if it comes down to it.
Angry head: I wonder if that's how many rounds until merge? So a 12 player merge if my math is correct?
Sad head: friends are on their way. even i can't help but be excited to see them.
Happy head: We're also going to experiment with miracle berries which sounds like drugs but it really just changes your pallet and makes things taste different, usually sweeter. so we got some bitter and sour things to try to taste with. It doesn't always work but if it does it'll be fun!
Oooh that's good. That could be a lot of fun, save me some cheese if you have a cheese platter haha. we don't really celebrate fourth of july anymore, we use to light off fireworks with the family and it was always fun to smell like ash and fire after a good session of blowing stuff up but it's not something we need to do every year.

Well, Kitsune has gone the way of the fishes. We shall mourn for the fox who was blessed with nine tails but not nine lives... Okay, in their picture, they only had seven tails, but the legend says they can grow up to nine tails, so I went with that. It's infinitely cooler.
Possibly? My brain cannot do math at the moment. Too much staring at the eyeball game, trying to beat my last score. I did (eventually). Oh, and I misunderstood how the arrows work; they stay with me until someone gets a lower score than me. They do decrease by 1 if I don't use them during tribal, though, so I now have 6. (Try all you want to beat my score, but they're mine, precious.)
Okay, whoever named miracle berries deserves a huge high five because that is hilariously great. Do let me know how that goes! I have a somewhat similar treat in my house. No idea what they're called, but they're these super sweet lollipops that have been dusted with a thick, red powder that looks like it might be spicy, but it's actually really sour. Apparently they're popular in Argentina.
Haha if we have a cheese platter, I'll let you know.
Mmmmm the smell of ash and fire in the summer is fantastic. Of course, I prefer the campfire version, especially when it soaks into your shirt or hoodie, so you smell like camping for days afterward...
