[11:55] <Flail> msg distraction THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE PRIVATE

[11:55] <distraction> first question

[11:55] <distraction> shhh

[11:55] <distraction> first question

[11:55] <distraction> Why did you choose the name flail?

[11:55] <Flail> name i could grow into

[11:55] <distraction> Were you trying to be fail and just misspelled it?

[11:55] <Flail> didn't i get asked this last interview?

[11:55] <Flail> double fail i suppose

[11:55] <Flail> but no

[11:56] <Flail> was supposed to describe my actions when i started

[11:56] <Flail> and then describe what i resembled when i got gud

[11:56] <Flail> (a ball o' hurt)

[11:56] <distraction> rekt

[11:56] <distraction> I was waiting for a long story about wormy

[11:56] <distraction> but with flail

[11:56] <Flail> no

[11:56] <distraction> ur face

[11:56] <distraction> ok

[11:56] <Flail> did i ever tell you the story of wormy btw?

[11:57] <distraction> yeah i red it in traffic on my phone one time

[11:57] <distraction> it was dum

[11:57] <Flail> oh, that piece that hootie posted?

[11:57] <Flail> that wasn't the real story

[11:57] <distraction> yeyeye

[11:57] <distraction> duh

[11:57] <distraction> GO

[11:57] <Flail> ok

[11:57] <distraction> !STORYTIME FLAIL

[11:57] <Flail> the actual story of wormy

[11:57] <Flail> so i was in middle school

[11:57] <Flail> and in marching band

[11:57] <Flail> i played the keyboard, and the director hated me

[11:58] <Flail> wait, wasn't marching band, that would be dumb

[11:58] <Flail> it was just an orchestral thing

[11:58] <Flail> but anyways

[11:58] <Flail> the director hated me

[11:58] <Flail> because other bands would come and go between rehearsals

[11:58] <distraction> mhmmmm

[11:58] <Flail> and they would mess up the keyboard area (put cords where they didn't belong, move chairs, whatever)

[11:59] <Flail> so i'd have to dig around in his office to find whatever happened to have gone missing

[11:59] <Flail> anyways, that's a bit beside the point

[11:59] <Flail> well

[11:59] <Flail> it matters later

[11:59] <Flail> so i had some friends in band

[11:59] <Flail> and we decided that we would do something for the upcoming talent show

[11:59] <Flail> specifically, we would start a band and play it

[12:00] <Flail> we chose the song 'don't fear the reaper' as it was popular at the time due to the SNL skit

[12:00] <Flail> and we thought it would be funny

[12:00] <Flail> we weren't taking it that seriously

[12:00] <Flail> so we met up a couple of times before the show

[12:00] <Flail> everything was going well

[12:00] <Flail> we paid homage to the skit, while also making it musically not terrible

[12:01] <Flail> i mean, we were in middle school, so of course it sucked

[12:01] <distraction> duh

[12:01] <Flail> but we pretended we had standards

[12:01] <Flail> the night of the talent show comes

[12:01] <Flail> we're setting up our equipment in the auditorium

[12:01] <Flail> and i can't find my cables

[12:01] <distraction> D:

[12:01] <Flail> it's annoying, but it's happened so many times, i just sigh and start looking for them

[12:02] <Flail> i get to Mr. Millard's office

[12:02] <Flail> and it's locked

[12:02] <Flail> i see the drawer with the cables through the window

[12:02] <Flail> but i can't get to them

[12:02] <Flail> i start to panic now

[12:02] <distraction> ono

[12:02] <Flail> part of the whole skit is my playing a cowbell on the keyboard

[12:02] <Flail> since for some reason our school didn't have one

[12:03] <Flail> i start to look around for a school official

[12:03] <Flail> someone who can get me in his office

[12:03] <Flail> there's no one

[12:03] <Flail> we're act three, so i have a bit of time

[12:03] <Flail> i try to call my parents to see if they can pick up a replacement cable on the way over

[12:03] <Flail> or even a cowbell

[12:04] <Flail> it would suck, because i did more than that in the song, but whatever

[12:04] <Flail> the cowbell was the important bit

[12:04] <Flail> no answer

[12:04] <Flail> they've already left

[12:04] <Flail> i'm starting to freak out

[12:04] <Flail> i go back to the auditorium

[12:04] <Flail> my band mates are there

[12:04] <Flail> they start panicking too

[12:04] <Flail> some of them decide that it's not worth it

[12:04] <Flail> they're going to sit it out

[12:05] <Flail> it's just me and Blake (the bassist) who decide that we need to put SOMETHING out there

[12:05] <Flail> we'd been talking up our performance to our non-band friends

[12:05] <Flail> and it would be humiliating if we didn't do SOMETHING

[12:05] <Flail> suddenly, we're up

[12:05] <Flail> we have no clue what we're going to do

[12:05] <Flail> Blake freaks out

[12:06] <Flail> drops his bass and runs just as the curtain opens

[12:06] <Flail> i'm alone on stage

[12:06] <Flail> behind a non-functioning keyboard

[12:06] <Flail> the audience is silent

[12:06] <Flail> i'm just staring

[12:06] <Flail> i have no idea what to do

[12:06] <Flail> for some reason

[12:06] <Flail> i get a weird idea

[12:07] <Flail> my older brother was in a break-dancing group in college

[12:07] <Flail> and i was at the age where i worshipped him

[12:07] <Flail> but not so much that i'd let him know

[12:07] <Flail> but i'd been practicing break-dancing by myself in my room

[12:07] <Flail> because i just thought it was the shit

[12:08] <Flail> some part of me decides that this

[12:08] <Flail> breakdancing

[12:08] <Flail> is what i'll do

[12:08] <Flail> so i step out from behind the keyboard

[12:08] <Flail> towards the open space in front of the band setup

[12:08] <Flail> and flop on the ground

[12:08] <Flail> it's at this point that i remember that i suck at break-dancing

[12:08] <Flail> i'm halfway through doing the worm when the laughter starts

[12:08] <Flail> i panic

[12:09] <Flail> i can't remember any other moves

[12:09] <Flail> i'm just laying on the ground

[12:09] <Flail> flopping like a worm

[12:09] <Flail> while a third of the whole school is watching and laughing

[12:09] <Flail> i can't stop

[12:09] <Flail> my response is to just keep going

[12:09] <Flail> i wet myself

[12:09] <Flail> it's absolutely embarassing

[12:09] <Flail> at some point

[12:09] <Flail> i don't know how long later

[12:10] <Flail> time sort of dilates when you're utterly terrified

[12:10] <Flail> i stand

[12:10] <Flail> covering the wet spot on my jeans

[12:10] <Flail> and bow before running off

[12:10] <Flail> it was a disaster

[12:10] <Flail> i hoped that it wouldn't become widespread knowledge

[12:10] <Flail> that i put on such a performance

[12:10] <Flail> but the next day at school

[12:10] <Flail> there were flyers in the hallway

[12:11] <Flail> someone had taken pictures of my performance and post-act bow

[12:11] <Flail> and fashioned a crude poster (in duplicate) of it all

[12:11] <Flail> "Behold, the incredible Wormy!" it proclaimed

[12:11] <Flail> i was mortified

[12:11] <Flail> i took down one poster

[12:11] <Flail> but another was on every bulletin board in school

[12:12] <Flail> the announcement that came through the speakers that morning didn't help

[12:12] <Flail> "Please children, do not post personal items on school-use bulletin boards."

[12:12] <Flail> everyone knew it was form e

[12:12] <Flail> for me*

[12:13] <Flail> i felt sick to my stomach left school early

[12:13] <Flail> fortunately it was a friday

[12:13] <Flail> i hoped that it would all die down by the next week

[12:13] <Flail> on monday, i walked into school

[12:14] <Flail> "Hey Wormy, how you wiggling?"

[12:14] <Flail> i turned

[12:14] <Flail> it was Blake

[12:14] <Flail> i couldn't believe it

[12:14] <distraction> fuckin blake

[12:14] <Flail> he had abandoned me, and now was mocking me?

[12:14] <Flail> a group of my friends were around him

[12:14] <Flail> they were laughing

[12:15] <Flail> it was terrible

[12:15] <Flail> i had no one in school

[12:15] <Flail> i was an outcast

[12:15] <Flail> i resolved myself that one day, i would make them pay

[12:15] <Flail> that one day came a few months after i found TagPro

[12:15] <Flail> i could use this, i thought

[12:15] <Flail> a smile came to me, seemingly the first smile in a long time

[12:16] <Flail> i set out to design the map that would bring tears to their eyes

[12:16] <Flail> after several sleepless nights and thousands of iterations

[12:16] <Flail> i succeeded

[12:16] <Flail> before me lay the perfect torture chamber

[12:16] <Flail> bombs that led to spikes

[12:16] <Flail> blind boosts into cramped bases

[12:17] <Flail> and a shape that would render a single tagpro utterly game-breaking

[12:17] <Flail> my craft was expert, my subtlety, nuanced

[12:17] <Flail> i submitted it and prayed

[12:17] <Flail> a few days later

[12:17] <Flail> it was in

[12:17] <Flail> my plan was nearing fruition

[12:17] <Flail> i got on facebook

[12:18] <Flail> i found blake

[12:18] <Flail> i sent him a link

[12:18] <Flail> tagpro.gg

[12:18] <Flail> blake, if you're reading this

[12:18] <Flail> it's all your fault

[12:18] <Flail> you had a chance to be a friend

[12:18] <Flail> and you pissed it away

[12:18] <Flail> i hope that your torment is even a fraction of mine

[12:18] <Flail> but somehow, i doubt it will be

[12:19] <Flail> justice is oft elusive

[12:19] <Flail> and that
