[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
[12:19] <Flail> is the true story of wormy
