Enoch pissing everyone off with ridiculous questions to make us question everything (pt.1)
"do you think fish can see air? We can see water but can't see air, could it be the opposite?" - Enoch "That's not how that-" Horace
"Why do churches ask for so much money when they think money is the root of evil? sounds pretty hypocritical" - Enoch
"How many people do you think are breathing at the same pace as you at this exact moment?" - Enoch *Horace starts panically breathing* "Honey is just bee throw up" - Enoch *Hugh screaming from the room over, Wyn holding Fiona back from tackling Enoch*
"If every day resets, how do we keep the clothes we stole during raid the village?" - Enoch "Honestly that's a good point" - Millard
"There's no possible way to stand backwards on stairs" - Enoch *a loud crash as Jacob falls from the stairs* "Mirrors don't break, they multiply" - Enoch "I swear if you keep saying these things I will multiply mirrors all over your hommunculi" - Emma
"A baby is the quietest or loudest thing to drop- just depends on who else is in the room" - Enoch "Were you dropped on the head?" - Jacob
"Why are prisoners given food, water, and shelter while homeless people aren't?" - Enoch "Uh- good point" - Miss. P
"What if oxygen is poisonous and takes 75-100 years to kill us?" - Enoch "I hope you get asthma" - Hugh
"Mosquitos are like dirty, already used needles" - Enoch "EWWWWWWW" - Claire & Olive "Nothing is truly on fire, fire is just on things" - Enoch "Enoch why don't you come over here" - Emma, pressing her hands together and generating heat
"Deaf people don't understand why farts are so funny" - Enoch *no one reacts* anyways, these are the sillies being silly. we are fed up with him, but we love him
Daily life in a Loopᡣ𐭩 •｡ꪆৎ ˚⋅
Hello! I thought I would post a day in the life of living in a loop, specifically the September 3rd 1940 loop located in Cairnholm, Wales 🤭
(yes I will be going into the nitty gritty and using time stamps)
7:30 am:
Wake up
Make beds
Get dressed
Head downstairs for breakfast
8:00 am:
(Each ward is assigned a day to cook meals, instead of having a seven day week we made weeks designated for the amount of wards we have in our loop, currently there are 11 (before Vic died, before Jacob arrived, and including myself))
This is how the week goes:
Day 1: Horace
Day 2: Eleanor
Day 3: Fiona
Day 4: Emma
Day 5: Hugh
Day 6: Bronwyn
Day 7: Millard
Day 8: Enoch
Day 9: Claire
Day 10: Victor
Day 11: Olive
9:30 am:
Breakfast is over, normally the older kids help with clean up
10:15 am:
We head out on our morning walk, usually stop off at the local library to pick up some books we are interested in for lessons
12:30 pm:
Classes begin, each class is around half an hour, we have the usual mathematics, literature, sciences, human history, health, home economics, and of course peculiar history, blending in with normals, fashion trends in the present world, how to escape from situations, and basic peculiar criteria
Each day the schedule for classes change, so we might have 3 “normal” classes and 3 peculiar classes, the next day we would have different classes etc etc
1:30pm ish:
We have a later lunch/snack
3:30pm ish:
We would finish with classes for the day and have the rest of our loop day to roam, do as we please, or work on homework and projects that we are assigned
6:30pm:
We have dinner, it normally lasts a while since we have a lot of discussions and we all work to clean up afterwards unlike breakfast
7:45pm:
We get ready for bed and come back downstairs to prepare for reset, we find it entertaining to watch and we look forward to it each day
8:30pm:
Loop reset is finished and we head inside to the living room where we read from The Tales, read our own stories (my favorite is Bronwyn’s series that she’s writing, it’s story about a human girl falling in love with a spirit of a witch, the title of the book is called Clairvoyant Love and it’s so cute) and perform our little acting skits for each other, it’s quite entertaining watching Horace and Millard act out Caesar’s death 🤭
9:30pm:
We head to our rooms, lights out is 11:30 so we can still hang with our loop mates or take showers or do basically whatever but we have to stay in the house
11:30pm:
Lights out and sleep for another day in the loop
We do have days where we don’t do classes and do training, we also have a theater class where we practice modern literature as well as practice acting like modern normals in case we have to leave the loop. We make small scripts and our Ymbrynes rate our performance based off of how susceptible we are to being caught as peculiars
Living the same day over and over again has its advantages and disadvantages, one being that you can master a lot of skills, while also battling insanity, thankfully we find ways to make life fun and exciting
if you have any questions or wanna know more I’d be happy to write more about this! It’s one of my favorite topics about my DR, since the mundane portion of my Dr is one of the main reasons I shift there, other than being with my found family, having ridiculously cool powers, and plenty of adventure for a life time, it’s nice to be able to have a schedule and relaxed time
thanks for tuning in!! See you next time :D
