Generation X; All

[xp_loa]

Hey-o gang,

I’ve been thinking about holding an activity event weekend in the near future. I know the lockdown wasn’t the easiest, especially the not knowing

I’m pretty sure my plans are cheesy but lemme know what we think of doing group stuff like:
- Movies
- Board games
- Chicken Egg hunt (we definitely have enough eggs)

Please let me know if anyone else has any ideas,

When are the others coming back?

[xp_loa]

We haven't been given a date at this point, but we know they're receiving help at Muir at this time. Once we know, you'll likely also know, Sharon, but I can reach out the moment I hear.

[xp_catseye]

Okay.

I would like to hunt. I prefer prey that can fight back, but I am told this is considered "inhumane" and "sociopathic," so eggs are acceptable.

I can offer my services. A cat's purr provokes the release of oxytocin, which promotes relaxation and calm. My mother told me it was very therapeutic.

[xp_loa]

I’m sure that would be very appreciated, Sharon, thank you.

If others are agreeable, what would you think of a hide and seek challenge, you’ll be the seeker of course and you may “hunt” hiders? No mauling, if it must be said I’ll say it now.

[xp_catseye]

I like to maul. It is Enrichment. But okay.

The fast one is not allowed to cheat, though. If he is found he is not allowed to simply move to a new place too quickly for me to react.

[xp_speed]

Boo. If you’re finding me with your nose that’s cheating too.

[xp_loa]

Very good point, Tommy!

(Though I will also say if you were to get your scent in multiple places due to your speed and confuse the freshest, that’d also be a good plan!)

[xp_catseye]

If you don't want to be sniffed out, maybe you shouldn't use so much Axe body spray.

[xp_speed]

At least I don’t smell like cat.

[xp_catseye]

That was very racist of you.

Being a cat is my birthright. Axe body spray is a choice.

[xp_speed]

I don’t think cat racism is a thing dude.

[xp_catseye]

It's called speciesism, and it implies nonhuman beings are unworthy of the same moral and ethical considerations accorded to humans.

Alani, I am being discriminated against.

[xp_loa]

Oh goodness.

Hmm, reading back, I think this needling was pretty even. And I hate to admit it, but, Sharon darling, sometimes you do choose to roll in things, perhaps enhancing your scents....cat-ness.

[xp_catseye]

That is different. I apply scent to conceal my presence from prey, not advertise it to members of the same, opposite, or undefined sex.

[xp_longshot]

Sharon, that is the most convincing sales pitch for cat yoga I've ever heard.

Felix can help too. He's got a calming presence. Every yoga class needs one participant who is completely committed to the spirit of the exercise while having absolutely no idea what's going on. Encourages mindfulness.

[xp_strange]

Do you plan to some sort of event to welcome back the members of Gen-X who were kidnapped?

[xp_loa]

At this time, I haven’t planned a welcome home, because I don’t have that information. Once it’s available it’d be great to get motions in order!

This was in hopes of helping the students here have stress relief and maybe we can come up with ideas!

[xp_strange]

Interesting.

I'll be sure to check in with them once the deprogramming has been completed.

[xp_talon]

I like the movie options where we don't talk to anyone.

[xp_loa]

We can definitely set up a movie room that’s a strict no talking area! Do you have any snacks you like for movie watching?
