Happy Holidays everyone!!!

I was so looking forward to my first Christmas in Sweden (which is celebrated today, on the 24th the way people celebrate New Years on the ever before) but I came down with a really bad flu or maybe even Covid (lost my sense of taste and smell) so now I'm just chilling at home haha

I hope everyone else is having a much lovelier time than me ❄️

as much as it hurt me, i don't want to change a thing

respawning is a skill that one isn't meant to get good at. dying so much is not healthy, and back on the island it happened less as time went on.

but in purgatory? it's all different. every one started from nothing again. scraping by, starving, a new thirst for blood (and water lol)

to be fair all teams have suffered a multitude painful deaths. but,, red team arguably had the worst start. being spawn camped the first day. repeatedly spawned camped the following days.

if there's one thing bolas can do is get back up. it's a testament to their characters that they've managed to win two days in a row!!

but,,, they seem to get up faster then the others. respawning unnaturally quicker. sometimes before they've healed.

how terrifying is it? to lock blades with one from the gas mask cult? win by a small margin, try to collect yourself only to be met with the same mask? revived, with the injuries you just inflicted still bleeding?!? they're movements still suggest they're injured but the pain can't slow them down anymore.

can they feel that pain? or has the insanity gone too deep?

dying quickly, just to respawn faster, is a new skill many on the red team have practiced to perfection. a useful tool that got them a third win.

one an angel of death, a man of the skies, clocked in black. the other a totem of undying, from the depths of the ocean, with gilded skin. both of them wise and experienced in war and death beyond their usually goofy and lax exteriors.

both of them in perfect synchronicity as they build up to green base, sneaking arround, shooting to cover eachother, building in different directions, one distracting while the other gets in. and then both sneaking in, covering eachother's back. both begining their silent attack, not only once but instead AT LEAST three times. all of this without BARELY SPEAKING TO EACHOTHER.

one of them is attacking and the other uses blocks to stop the enemy from getting to them. in the few moments when they can, both hit in perfect sync. when foolish sees that they have someone else inside with them, no hesitation he drops a bucket of lava, and philza notices immediately and takes a cider and tea and goes back to work.
