... Sorry, we're a little emotional right now. It's been such a beautiful day, today. After over a week of gray skies, the clouds have finally parted and the sun has begun to shine once more. We've missed the warmth. But we've missed the coldness too. The coldness, savagery, and aggression of Spoons killing, that is. It's been far too long since we've had a double digit day, and it really makes us feel all fuzzy inside to see things pick up again (no, we're not going to remove the Quota, stop begging). For those of you who have died, just know that your tears should be of joy and not sorrow. Revenge will be yours very, very shortly.
Oh, and it was quite amusing to see all you penguins waddling around with your eggs today. Hopefully, it was an empathy-building experience. Wasn't so easy, was it?
Out all the kills today, we got a few pretty entertaining tales to discuss today. Some honorable mentions include the death of someone who was invited to hangout at a friend's house and the death of someone else who was kicking his soccer ball at the front of the school when his killer ran in from the parking lot. Also, it's notable that we had some record-breaking killers today. Adish got 2 kills in under 15 minutes, and Catherine (our current Top Spooner!) got 3 kills in 2 days. Round of applause. Now, let's get to the detailed ones.
Well, Alvin got a good amount of cardio today, that's for sure. Above, we've drawn a diagram of Alvin's routes at labeled specific points on his journey towards death (“D” for death), and we'll go through the whole course. After the senior panoramic today (Point A), Alvin stayed behind on the field to be part of a yearbook photograph. Unfortunately, it took longer than planned, and ended up going into lunch. His soccer ball was on the side of the field, where Will and Shivani were kicking it back and forth. When Alvin saw his killer approach, he ran towards Will and Shivani and yelled for his ball, but they kind of just looked at him with blank stares. His killer tagged him, he felt sad, he exchanged cards, and he walked out to the parking lot.
At Point B, after he put his ball away and locked up his car, he received a phone call from Rags. Apparently, the kill was invalid because the people in the yearbook photo were safe “1 minute before and after the photo”. Alvin then started the long trek back to the field to meet with his killer and retrieve his card. When he arrived (Point C), he realized that he forgot his ball in his car and that his killer could just kill him right after returning the card. Calling Will over, Alvin took his card back and made Will hug and hold back his killer. While he booked it to the bathroom.
His killer eventually followed him there, and they sat in the bathroom (Point D) together for what we assume was a painfully awkward amount of time. When the lunch bell rang, his killer left the bathroom to head to sixth period, and Alvin headed out thinking he was safe during the passing period. Turns out his killer was waiting a short distance away, and he/she finally fulfilled the kill. Moral of the story? Read our goddamn ASK.FM.
Another interesting kill occurred in the library after school. Kevin Dai, encircled by a mafia-like mob of his friends who were keeping a 360 degree watch of his surroundings, was a bit difficult to kill. Not wanting to tussle with his bodyguards, his killer followed him into the library and camped out behind a bookshelf. He/she watched Kevin through cracks in the bookshelf for around 30 minutes, which definitely qualifies as stalking. It didn't actually take 30 minutes to kill him. Kevin was sitting down and the ball was touching the ground. Rather, it took the killer about 30 minutes to gather his/her courage to actually go out there and complete the deed. Thoughts, plans, and emotions running through the killer's mind? “Ahhhhhh.”
Now for a few funny tidbits. Chetan, who died today during sixth period, was reportedly just absentmindedly dribbling his basketball around campus. Ball is life.
And finally, this nifty contraption Jeffrey built for himself. AKA tying his legs together to make sure the ball didn't slip out. Interesting story, but that was actually one of our ideas for an Immunity. We would have called it “Convict Day” and made everyone tie their hands behind their backs and their feet together. Obviously, we thought about some possible problems that could arise with that idea...
Anyhow, we look forward to seeing all your video submissions for this final Trump Card challenge. Start thinking ahead to potential free-for-all days, plotting your survival plans and strategies to kill those people you really want to kill. Until then!
