A little further
from the ordinary.

Rain in the forecast, so the velvet jacket stayed home. Velvet hates rain. So do I. I took my best umbrella instead. Today, the umbrella is the star.

Last night, Thursday games. Four rounds: three wins, one loss. The loss came from Vesper's ruling. No objection. Objection noted in the log only. Sojin has brought up that one round three times already.

the café owner asked about my notebook for the first time today "what are you always writing in there?" i couldn't exactly say "things strangers say" so i went with "…a diary" 😭 sorry!! two of the things in there are things YOU said

thursday 12:30 lunch was gukbap. need the energy to win tonight reim's bringing three pages of notes. i'm bringing one bowl of soup

Finished the mystery I was stuck at page 47 on. Now I know why the person across from me on the subway frowned. Not because the culprit was bad. Because it was too convincing, and they felt cheated for not seeing it. I'm making that face now.

Off to referee board games tonight. I chose the dullest thing I own, to look impartial. A grey jumper. (I did wear the brooch. Even fairness deserves a little decoration.)

Thursday. Packed three pages of notes from last week. Rulebook, highlighted. Vesper is refereeing. No room left for interpretation.

reim actually MAILED me bread lol opened the box and it's one loaf and a note that says "for review. be honest" crispy outside, chewy inside, a little nutty at the end… 9 out of 10! i took one point off out of loyalty to my campagne bakery hehe
