Hi, everybody!

All caps, profanity, and Mr. Torgue 

HAPPY EXPLOSION DAY EVERYBODY! IT'S MY FAVORITE HOLIDAY! WANT TO KNOW WHY? PATRIOTISM AND PICNICS AND I'M KIDDING IT'S ALL THE MOTHERF***ING EXPLOSIONS!

Food 

I know breakfast tacos sound really good, self, but we're not going to a taco place on Tuesday.

Need to level Ninja faster! Fuma Shuriken is neat, but I want the other mudras so I can be a Six Demon Bag and summon fire, lightning, that kind of thing!

Just a heads up: we're gonna have a superconductor turned up full blast and pointed at you for the duration of this next test. I'll be honest - we're throwing science at the wall here to see what sticks. No idea what it'll do. Probably nothing. Best-case scenario, you might get some superpowers. Worst case, some tumors, which we'll cut out. 

Happy Easter to all of my religious or semi-religious friends! To my non-religious and/or non-Christian friends: PRAISE HELIX

Benefit of proscribing to a New Game+ theory of the afterlife: looking forward to having the maturity and self-awareness to not be completely self-centered and whiny teenager/college student.

Text-based RPG 

BEGINNING

You are jostled awake at your desk by... actually, you didn't realize you were asleep. It's the middle of a periodic overnight shift, and you must have dozed off to the white noise of the building's HVAC system. You notice that most of the lights are off, which is unusual. You look around while you shake off your grogginess.

YOUR DESK -> This is your desk in SUPPORT BAY 2. There is a COMPUTER here. There is a CABINET here. There is a NERF GUN here.

Hello, I'm Derek.
I work in Information Security.
I write things, occasionally. I'll probably start doing that more (500 characters? Challenge accepted.)
I cook, somewhat more occasionally. I mean, I'm not a chef, but I do sear the chuck roast before I throw it into the crock pot with onion soup mix and but for 8 hours.
My tabletop RPG book collection is by no means exhaustive, but it is extensive.
If I could do anything, I would narrate new Goofy "How To" cartoons.

END OF LINE

I think it's finally time to pick up a planner and start planning dinner a few days a week. I've got enough recipe ideas from Blue Apron (and can raid their recipe box at will, essentially) to put something together on the fly when necessary.

I want Mississippi Pot Roast real bad for some reason, but that will have to wait for tomorrow as it takes 8 hours.

And now, the setting where toots are public but not spammed to the public timeline! That could have gotten awkward.

Greetings, program! My traditional first post on any new social media platform.
