[ And, for those living at Bonnie's, you can now hear the above playlist being blasted from Jeff's room. Desperate times call for desperately passive aggressive measures. ]

[He hasn’t been blowing up Jeff’s phone but he can’t not respond to a direct question about it.]

It’s fun. Have you even tried it?

[cacophonish]

NO AND I'M NOT GOING TO!!!

[ You can tell it's serious because he's using capitalization and exclamation marks. The more capitalization and exclamation marks there are, the more serious he is! ]

[aelwyn_aberration]

Awwwww. Are you mad because you can't play for shit?

Nobody likes a sore loser, sweetie. 💖

[That's just what she assumes, anyway.]

[cacophonish]

[ Et tu, Aelwyn? ]

jokes on you i already KNOW i cant play for shit so i didnt even open it!!

[abrightboy]

I’m not usually into these things either, but it’s honestly great.

[cacophonish]

the only game worth playing is Rampage

is this Rampage? NO. its a stupid game about a gross fucking WORM!!!

[abrightboy]

It’s a cute cartoon worm.

[Attaches screenshot.]

[aelwyn_aberration]

Oh, you poor thing. Well, don't worry about it, we can't all be successful.

If it makes you feel any better, everyone else in this entire office fucking sucks at it too.

[Couldn't be her. The worm champion.]

[cacophonish]

its stupid

and ugly

[ Attachment: truth-hurts-bitch ]

[cacophonish]

yeah well i have better things to do than play that stupid game!!!

you used to be fun. everyones so BORING now!!

[abrightboy]

Oh. Sorry.

[The music video cut him a little, ngl.]

[cacophonish]

sorry, i don't mean to be a dick. its just really annoying man! it's like everyones suddenly into this stupid thing and won't stop talking about it and I JUST DON'T GET IT!

[abrightboy]

You don’t have to like something just because other people do. It’s probably a little bit the timing. The holidays are coming.

[cacophonish]

good because i already dont like it and im not gonna like it no matter how many times people bug me about it

are you bummed about the holidays?

[abrightboy]

I haven’t thought about it. But maybe that’s kind of what this game is about for all of us. A little harmless deflection and distraction.

[cacophonish]

oh. i guess that makes sense

[ Now he feels a little guilty for blowing his stack over the game...

...but not guilty enough to play it. FUCK YOU, HERMY. ]

[abrightboy]

Does your family usually get together for the holidays? I usually show up for the obligatory Christmas dinner at my mother’s house. Though I don’t really know what everything would look like this year, after stabbing my father.

[cacophonish]

yeah i always head to my parents house for a couple days around christmas

or as we called it... our totally secular winter holiday celebration

not to be totally insensitive but wouldnt your family be even happier after you stabbed your dad?

imagine having a quiet neighbor

[JEFF, YOUR FIRST AND FINAL WARNING]

[cacophonish]

i'll stop playing music if everyone stops talking about the worm game

[ SORRY, WANDA, THIS IS WAR. ]

[carmesi]

there is a *hole* on our shared wall

i do not even play the game anymore and i am the one suffering your temper tantrum the most.

[getting treated like her twin at this point]

[cacophonish]

[ He has a LOT of experience being a deeply annoying sibling, so this kind of familiar territory. HE CAN TUNE IT OUT--

okay, no he does feel a little guilty about the innocent collateral damage. ]

help me with the worm problem and i'll let you pick the music?

[carmesi]

you are basically saying that if i don't help you the music will not stop? and even if i do help you the music will continue?

[JEFF!!]

don't make me come over.

[cacophonish]

ok when you put it like that i guess its a shitty deal...

help me and i'll turn it off! maybe with our magic combined we can curse everyones phones and blow up the stupid game

[ Because this is how technology works! ]

[ this is mature and not an overreaction. ]

Threatening others for enjoying themselves isn’t a good look.
