I had to use that line from Disney's animated Aladdin for the chapter title because I looked up at the clock tonight, all anxious because there were less than two hours left to complete the challenge, so I hurried over to my computer, put on music that would specifically help me focus and not distract me, clicked over to the right page aaaaannnnd.... just as quickly, it was over. So yeah. That was it? And, uh, did I make the right decision? Ugh, I panicked. I was trying to do it really fast to please the djinn, but maybe I didn't think it through enough. Should I have gone really low to make absolutely goddamn sure that we win this challenge or was it okay to have something that could be considered "high" enough to get an immunity idol later on. Was shooting for the middle too high? Have I fucked this up for our tribe? Will we have to go tribal AGAIN because of me??? Mods...  Who wants to be Jafar, the Sultan, and Aladdin? Because I can't stop picturing you guys reacting like this, and it's giving me the giggles. Cool. Now I feel a little better. .... A little. |

Okay... it's whoever scores the lowest *on average*, not added all together... We might still win this.
Please, please, please, please, please...

Okay, look, you didn’t have to split us up to make sure that SOME OF US STILL WENT TO TRIBAL.
*longest sigh in recorded history*
Is there a record for how many times people have gone to tribal? Cuz Bil, Fili, Kili, and I are gonna break it if we haven’t already.
*muttering under my breath* I’m gonna break something.

I like Hades. It's just a hunch because we're obviously still getting to know each other, but I think he's a good guy to have on my side. He seems very intelligent and observant. And yes, I'm still proud that my first sentence to him was "how the hell are you?" I think that won me some points.

Also, I've scored points with both Hades and Bilious for giving them a detailed summary of what I think of the whole tribe upon first introduction.
*smiles and looks from side to side* I'm good at this.

! ! ! ! NEWSFLASH ! ! ! !
Hades and Poppy are allies.
I would say something serious and clever, but my literal only thought is, "ALLIANCE WITH HADES! ALLIANCE WITH HADES!"
Does this count as making a deal with the devil? Because if so, I am HERE for it.

Since Phobos and Deimos haven't messaged me since the swap, I sent a silly/friendly buzz their way. We shall see how that relationship blossoms (or not). I've heard good things from my 'Origami pals, so hopefully it turns into something good.
I could message Odysseus... I probably should...
But I've been Survivoring for a while today, and I just... If Odysseus wants to prove that he doesn't deserve to be voted out, I kind of feel like he should be the one reaching out, you know? Or maybe he's already accepted that he's a goner, and that's why he hasn't PM'ed anyone. Boy, does that sound familiar.

The alliance is growing. I repeat, the alliance is growing.
Both Cerberus and Hades asked me, separately, if I was interested in working with both of them. Together. As in, a three-person alliance. Hades also mentioned Maat and Hathor as a possibility... I'm a little tentative about such a big alliance because I know they can't last forever, but I'm also ecstatic at the potential strength in numbers. And they're all fun people!
It's also worth noting that I am only allying with people that are NOT from my original tribe.
It's not on purpose. But I'm enjoying it.

Hello! It's about time you came back to talk to me, you drunk!  1. I was originally pleased to have Bilious and Fili/Kili with me (but very sad that Eloritu was not, and Jael, Loki, and Hermes, too, since I really liked them). But I loved having Maat because she's the cutest, and I very quickly became ecstatic to have Hades. Oh, and it was nice to have Cerberus on the same tribe, but we would continue talking either way, so that didn't truly matter to me. As far as being least happy... I was neutral about having Radiance and kind of "ugh" about having Odysseus (confession time: I confused him with Oedipus in my head, and I was like, "Who the HELL would pick him as their character?" But then talking to Odysseus (at the last minute because he took forever to PM anyone) and struggling to understand his fancy speak sealed the deal on wanting him gone. And for my old tribe members... I kind of grew out of wanting to be loyal to them for loyalty's sake. Like, they were my old tribe, sure, but that doesn't mean I have to stick with them. (More on that later.) 2. Hoo boy that question was harder to decipher, haha. I am full-on planning on making it to merge and then as far beyond that as I can. I got a little worried about people finding out that I have the arrows during the tribal results, but then again... I've basically told the entire tribe because I'm in alliances with, well, everyone but Radiance now. (Again, more on that later.) (Oh yeah, and Phobos and Deimos. Gods, I keep forgetting they exist.) 3. I plan on not going to tribal, so I could care less. The other tribe can deal with the DI. 4. Okay, that's a very well-timed question, because the Fourth was the first time that I truly gave alcohol a try. I've sipped it before with my in-laws, who are very supportive in my partner and I trying new things now that we're all in "faith transitions" and changing our beliefs on different things. So they were excited to try out some drink mixes with us so that we could all get buzzed together. It was hilarious and thrilling and also very intriguing (because me, the writer, is always studying EVERYTHING I experience for fun new knowledge). Strawberry margaritas are okay but not really my jam (ha, strawberry jam reference), pickle-juice martini tasted gross (I'd rather just drink pickle juice), but the gin/tonic/ginger-ale combo was AMAZING. So that could be a new favorite for me. (Wait, can I say it's a new favorite if it was my first time?) |

! ! ! ! DOUBLE NEWSFLASH ! ! ! !
Maat and Hathor have joined the Hades-Poppy-Cerberus alliance. Maybe we should call ourselves the Life and Death Brigade/Alliance or something. Anyway, that was pretty set in stone already. And then, this came along... Fili, Kili, Bilious, and Poppy are now in an alliance.So Fili/Kili created a group message essentially telling, "Hey, we're in an alliance now, because even if it's cliche for old tribe members to be together, we might as well be allies so that we can feel secure and all that jazz." Which I'm not going to argue with. I feel very well cushioned now. And... *drumroll please* I have the potential to be a spy. Now, who would I actually be spying on? Well, let's see. Of the people in my last tribe, who was I closest to? Duh, it was Eloritu. But he's on a different tribe now. I still consider that alliance to be active, and hopefully Elo feels the same and we both make it to merge so we can work together again. With Fili and Kili, I have enjoyed working with them but have also wished they would message more. With Bilious, I have also enjoyed talking to him, sometimes more than other tribe members have, but I am getting suspicious of him. He has an idol, which he only opened up about once we were in the obligatory alliance (in fact, before that, he made it sound like Radiance might have it), and I swear he's the one that voted for Radiance last tribal but now he adamantly denies it... I don't know, I get the vibe that he might not be trustw.orthy. And he only found out I had the arrows once I mentioned them in the alliance group chat, and I said that I swore I told him... which means he could realize that I definitely have told more than one person, and THAT means I'm probably in an another alliance...... So I expect him to turn on me at some point. Maybe he won't. That'd be cool. But it's whatever because I have the arrows. (I probably shouldn't have told him what my score was on the eyeball game, though, because he might try harder to beat me now so he can take the arrows.) So, with all of those rambling thoughts being said, I feel closer to my new tribemates than I do the old ones. So... I have a potential plan. I can spy on the Hito alliance. The Life & Death alliance is much stronger, and they have no idea that I'm in the alliance with Hito (nor do I plan to tell them that because I don't want to be seen as a traitor to *anyone* or they might suspect I could betray them, too), so I can try my absolute best to be seen as trustw.orthy to my Hito peeps and then pass forward any important details to Life & Death so that we can remain the strongest alliance on the tribe. Now, what does that mean about Phobos & Deimos and the Radiance? If they become closer to Fili/Kili and Bilious (like, in the situation where F, K, and B no longer trusted me), that would make the tribe perfectly split down the middle. That could be interesting. Maybe... maybe P/D and Radiance should be my first go-to's for votes, if we do indeed go to tribal again in the near future. Yeah, cut out the people who I haven't connected with as well because they also won't benefit my game from what I can tell, and I certainly don't want to give them time to try and hurt my game. The biggest question for me is whether I can actually pull it off. Or will I get caught? And with all of that being said, it's time to start Chapter 5.
