>looks 30

I feel for John. People who make noise are even worse than window-closers and should be shot at sight. But host is far too timid to throw a tantrum like that. Also he looks like 30, not 70. And not bad I must say.

TL;DR
While host refused to go back to the gym for a few days, I finally dragged him there yesterday - as expected all windows in the gym machine room were closed, awful air, Karens around. But the gym has 3 other rooms, two for floor gymnastics and one for open weight training. So we went there where the cool kids go and it was good. Few people, no Karens, window half-open not perfect but decent air. Host has already used his manipulative superpowers to forge an open-window faction and we have 3 of the most notorious gym regulars on our side. Karens very rarely go there and if they'll have to put up with far less agreeable people than host. So yeah, it's not ideal as I'd like to do a few things in the gym machine room, especially pull and leg, but we'll manage. It's time to move from the machines to using dumb- bar- and kettlebells anyway.

There's a new coach who looks like Sasuke, never seen him smile but he's chill. Taught us a few new kettlebell exercises. He pushed host to his limits and - what surprise - he can do a lot more that he usually does. I like the man! You know, host has this routine thing where he always does the same and hence easily hits a plateau. And unless you yell at him he won't go out of his comfort zone Lazy. I think he'll benefit from exercising with the coach and one of the regulars. Doesn't hurt learning from and being pushed by others.

And of course The Bear was right, machines suck and doing everything with weights is far better. It was good at the beginning to get a feel for it and avoid injury but it's been almost 2 years since we started and I feel we wasted half of that on machines. So actually we have to thank the Karens, it was a revelation.

>Summer child bride

Alone? Or with Cat?

It was near the apocalypse, only Ulla(Summer) and I knew, and we were in Alaska to start, traveling South, going all across the country, staying in ultra-rich lodgings, mingling with celebrities, waited on hand and foot, enjoying all the niche luxuries of the billionaire lifestyle. A very long dream, we had spent several nights, stayed in mansions, eaten extravagant foods, watched only for the rich shows, etc.

We claimed to be newlyweds though Summer was obviously a child bride if true, it wasn't true. One scene after another of just royal accommodations and foods. It was hours of this in dream, very very long, lots of fun.

8.5/10 pretty cool. Been a while since the last system dream.

Cat feels slightly disheartened the baiting plan failed and 10lbs of meat have been lost. But there' the prospect of octopus in return!
Nyaa sometimes you win sometimes you lose Nya!

With pity, Cat helps to tie Nixie to the rope and properly fasten it to a pillar. Laying in wait, Cat enters rage and charges as soon as the octopus grabs Nixie and is grappled. She bestows temporary HP on Alice and moves N of the monster. In a flanking position, she attacks the octopus with her Greatsword using HEAVY.
If the octopus is down, Cat will retreat 30ft East again.
