Man, what a beautiful day! The sun is shining, the breeze is gentle, and being stuck indoors sucks.
It’s time to get out and throw the ball around.
Time to jump off the swings and see who can go the farthest.
Time to prove you CAN cross the monkey bars without falling.
It’s time to head to the playground.
Only one problem. Bullies. Not the kind that sit at the computer and spam your wall with “Butthead!!”. No, these are the kind that knock you down, sit on you and make you pick your own nose in front of everyone. Then eat it. These are the mean bullies, and they can ruin your day year.
Normally, you just avoid them, since they use fear, while you use speed. This time, something is different. Usually, each bully has staked out their area, and you can spot them at a glance. But this time you don’t spot them. It seems they have blended into the general kid populace, and plan to take over the whole thing. Meanwhile, some kids are playing normally, but some seem to be taking charge and organizing more fun.
Is that a real live kickball game going on over there? Are the bullies just gone?
Suddenly, a girl runs screaming to the Parents Table, slapping herself all over. Her mom grabs her by the hand, and begins brushing her off while dragging her to the car.
The Grapevine providers the scoop, she had an anthill thrown on her.
Wendy, Vanilla Town, has left the playground.

1. I send out role PMs. Once they have all been sent, the thread will be open for confirmation.
2. Once the thread is opened, all players will have 60 hours to confirm.
3. Anyone not confirmed by then will be replaced.
4. Day1 will start, and last 21 days.
And before anyone bitches about me highlighting PoD's 437 when I replaced in and called everyone on my wagon communists, I remind you that communism is not alignment-indicative
I'm willing to play so this is a tentative /confirm. But as the game hasn't started I have no issue passing if LLD cares enough.
