[QUOTE=What Exit?] Hi, hosts. I don’t think you want to be here. That wouldn’t be very nice, would it? . . . . . . . My guess is that \*\*fachverwirrt \*\* must post angry. [/QUOTE] Spoiler space: darling hosts, please read no further. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Not really. It’s sort of an aspect of what I’m doing, but not necessary. ---

spoiler space . . . . . . . . I’m enjoying having a quirk which can be subtle–but I fear I’m being a little too subtle. (well, too subtle and too obsessed with food which is weird but not too weird). I shall have to ponder before I post again, how to hint a little more strongly about my quirk. I’m willing to make it obvious enough that I get guessed–just not today. ---

[/QUOTE] I think you’re doing a great job – though the food thing is a little weird. It’s hard when someone picks up on some minor point you make and runs with it, though. I thought your search for the family pix was a nice touch. ---

Hosts, why are you reading this? Go away. Now. Yes. That. Means. You. Which is all irrelevant since it took three posts to guess me. That’s one better than last time - I only lasted two in P2 - though I think I’m quite possibly the quickest to fall in terms of time between first post and guess. A mere 36 minutes. ---

z z z z z z z z z z z z z Sorry about that **MHaye** – not the best quirk, I’m afraid. ☹ I find it easy to come up with wordplay ones, but didn’t want to have nothing but – and both of my “board-based” ones (you and **Kat** , who thought she was a Mod) were too easy. My apologies. ---

No problem. 🙂 It won’t put me off playing again, and I’ll continue to cheer the guests on. From a safe distance. (I didn’t believe those two pictures of the maroon Chamois. They could easily have been of my first car. Nostalgia, it bit. Hard.) ---

Spoiler space Go away! No hosts! Ppbbbbtttthhh! **twickster** , you were right, mine is fun - but I know very little about it, so I’m having to research it on the fly. Ya know, I signed up to play Party so I could take a break from research and I end up having to do research for my quirk. 😛 ---

When I got my quirk I was told I could be an individual Looney Tunes character. I briefly debated being Foghorn Leghorn but I wasn’t that mean.
