2025-05-31 - Ball Pit Dreams

[TXT to Chase Elmo Leon Dylan Ravin Carl Zack Ash Jake Rhea Cooper Alexys] Asher: Ok, my friends, acquaintances, and folks who haven't decided if you hate me yet or not! There are some life updates.

[TXT to Chase Elmo Leon Dylan Ravin Carl Zack Ash Jake Rhea Cooper Alexys] Asher: Update 1. New place, who dis? We've got a 4 room in Silver Fox, 205.

[TXT to Chase Elmo Leon Dylan Ravin Carl Zack Ash Jake Rhea Cooper Alexys] Asher: Update 2... We've realized bunk beds mean we have more rooms than people.

[TXT to Chase Elmo Leon Dylan Ravin Carl Zack Ash Jake Rhea Cooper Alexys] Asher: And that brings us to update 3. I'm going to need some help, and a little slight of hand. Who's in to help me acquire a few spare balls from the midway whenever folks aren't looking?

[TXT to Elmo Leon Dylan Ravin Carl Zack Ash Asher Jake Rhea Cooper Alexys] Chase: I could lend a hand. Or four.

[TXT to Chase Elmo Leon Ravin Carl Zack Ash Asher Jake Rhea Cooper Alexys] Dylan: Do you mean Silver Brook or Fox Run or did you shack up with a hot older dude? Whichever one, I wanna visit.

[TXT to Chase Elmo Leon Ravin Carl Zack Ash Asher Jake Rhea Cooper Alexys] Dylan: Anyway, if you promise to play AC/DC's Big Balls when you open up the pit, I'm on board with grabbing them.

This sounds like my kind of shenanigans. I'm in.

[TXT to Chase Leon Dylan Ravin Carl Zack Ash Asher Jake Rhea Cooper Alexys] Elmo: Balls? Hell yeah.

[TXT to Chase Elmo Leon Dylan Ravin Carl Zack Ash Jake Rhea Cooper Alexys] Asher: @Chase - That's my girl! The goal is to figure out how many balls we need to pilfer to turn a spare room into an actual ball pit. I figure if it's not just the same face every time, and we only take one or two every few days... Should be feasible.

[TXT to Chase Elmo Leon Dylan Ravin Carl Zack Ash Jake Rhea Cooper Alexys] Asher: @Dilly - Silver Brook. But if you know anyone looking to waste some sugar without wanting follow through... But yes. We can work up a soundtrack!

[TXT to Chase Elmo Leon Dylan Ravin Carl Zack Ash Jake Rhea Cooper Alexys] Asher: @Everyone - Our missions, for those who choose to accept them, is to get enough balls to at least be able to flop into at the end of a long shift sans pain on hitting the floor. If this is achieved, anyone who pitches in gets an invite on the last Sunday of every month for pie, drinks, and disappearing into the pit until the terrors subside.

[TXT to Chase Elmo Leon Dylan Ravin Carl Zack Ash Jake Rhea Cooper Alexys] Asher: Also. If any of you know other folks who you think would be useful in this endeavor, feel free to invite 'em to the group chat. The more the merrier, and the quicker we get to stop borrowing office supplies and can hang out and lounge in them instead.

[TXT to Chase Elmo Leon Dylan Ravin Carl Zack Ash Asher Jake Rhea Cooper] Alexys: I'm in. But fair warning I will cave under any kind of interrogation. It's not out of lack of loyalty, but more an entire lack of poker face.

[TXT to Elmo Leon Dylan Ravin Carl Zack Ash Asher Jake Rhea Cooper Alexys] Chase: @Everyone - FYI, to make a ball pit that is 10x10x3, we'll need about 18,000 balls.

[TXT to Chase Elmo Leon Dylan Ravin Carl Zack Ash Jake Rhea Cooper Alexys] Asher: Ok. Chase. You're our number person. I refuse to make that many tally marks. But like. I believe in us. We can do this.

[TXT to Chase Elmo Leon Dylan Ravin Carl Zack Ash Jake Rhea Cooper Alexys] Asher: But seriously, tag in your friends. We're gonna need the backup.

[TXT to Chase Elmo Leon Dylan Ravin Carl Zack Ash Asher Jake Rhea Alexys] Cooper: Lucky for you guys, I am a ball exper.t

[TXT to Chase Elmo Leon Dylan Ravin Carl Zack Ash Asher Jake Rhea Alexys] Cooper: Interpret that as you will.

[TXT to Elmo Leon Dylan Ravin Carl Zack Ash Asher Jake Rhea Cooper Alexys] Chase: Yeah, there are so many inappropriate things I could say right now...

[TXT to Chase Elmo Leon Ravin Carl Zack Ash Asher Jake Rhea Cooper Alexys] Dylan: Everyone should have their skills. Unrelatedly I'm in Fox Run 402.

[TXT to Chase Elmo Leon Dylan Ravin Carl Zack Ash Asher Jake Rhea Alexys] Cooper: I feel like I've made a horrible (but accurate) first impression.

[TXT to Chase Elmo Leon Ravin Carl Zack Ash Asher Jake Rhea Cooper Alexys] Dylan: I generally find that saves a lot of time.

[TXT to Chase Leon Dylan Ravin Carl Zack Ash Asher Jake Rhea Cooper Alexys] Elmo: That's a lot of balls

[TXT to Chase Elmo Leon Dylan Ravin Carl Zack Ash Jake Rhea Cooper Alexys] Asher: Many hands. Light work. All that ish. We've got this, MoMo, it'll be fine!

[TXT to Chase Elmo Leon Dylan Ravin Carl Zack Ash Asher Jake Rhea Cooper] Alexys: Not to be a party pooper, but don't you think they'll miss THAT many balls? Maybe we can get some from a store or online and then have some that are from the park? We can specify them with graffiti?

[TXT to Chase Elmo Leon Ravin Carl Zack Ash Asher Jake Rhea Cooper Alexys] Dylan: Depends how long-game this is. Ash, you planning to use this before 2043?

[TXT to Chase Elmo Leon Dylan Ravin Carl Zack Ash Jake Rhea Cooper Alexys] Asher: Lexy... That's not the spirit we're going for. Way more balls than that are already accounted for in shrinkage just due wind alone? Dilly, oh ye of little faith.

[TXT to Chase Elmo Leon Dylan Ravin Carl Zack Ash Asher Jake Rhea Cooper] Alexys: Or maybe we can fill it with something else! Like pudding. Ok bad example, but still.

[TXT to Chase Elmo Leon Ravin Carl Zack Ash Asher Jake Rhea Cooper Alexys] Dylan: No, no, go on

[TXT to Chase Elmo Leon Dylan Ravin Carl Zack Ash Asher Jake Rhea Cooper] Alexys: I'm in the spirit of not going to jail. Or worse. Getting fired.

[TXT to Chase Elmo Leon Dylan Ravin Carl Zack Ash Asher Jake Rhea Cooper] Alexys: Ok ok Operation: Ball Pit. I can get behind this. Is anybody else getting clammy?

[TXT to Chase Elmo Leon Dylan Ravin Carl Zack Ash Jake Rhea Cooper Alexys] Asher: No one's getting fired if no one gets caught. But it's ok. You can stay at home and be in charge of heist snacks and always maintain plausible deniability. We've got this.

[TXT to Chase Elmo Leon Ravin Carl Zack Ash Asher Jake Rhea Cooper Alexys] Dylan: Seriously, though, yeah, I do think they're going to notice approximately 300 cubic feet of balls disappearing if it's too quick

[TXT to Chase Elmo Leon Dylan Ravin Carl Zack Ash Asher Jake Rhea Cooper] Alexys: I do make good stacks...but I refuse to be the stick in the mud. Wait Number Person (sorry keeping track of all of the new contacts is hard) how many balls is that per person?

[TXT to Chase Elmo Leon Dylan Ravin Carl Zack Ash Jake Rhea Cooper Alexys] Asher: That's why it won't be quick. We've got a dozen of us... But. Surely you folks have friends I don't. If everyone only takes one or two a week, right now we're at two-dozen, weekly. Growing from there. With that many face for that few pilfered?

[TXT to Chase Elmo Leon Dylan Ravin Carl Zack Ash Jake Rhea Cooper Alexys] Asher: Unless one of us (Momo, kiss his head) other than the cute one isn't another rat, as long as no one talks about Ball Pit Club it's just too anonymous and random.

[TXT to Chase Elmo Leon Dylan Ravin Carl Zack Ash Jake Rhea Cooper Alexys] Asher: And that's before all the ones folks are floating off on that wind with powers, or popping into shadow, or all the other stuff we've got going on?

[TXT to Elmo Leon Dylan Ravin Carl Zack Ash Asher Jake Rhea Cooper Alexys] Chase: Okay. If we can get 20 people on board, and each one grabs 4 balls three times a week, it'll take about 75 weeks to get what we need. If we can recruit 40, then it's only 3/4 of a year.

[TXT to Elmo Leon Dylan Ravin Carl Zack Ash Asher Jake Rhea Cooper Alexys] Chase: Sorry, got a pad. Doing the match.

[TXT to Chase Elmo Leon Dylan Ravin Carl Zack Ash Asher Jake Rhea Cooper] Alexys: This level of math requires more than fingers and toes so I'm no use
