I don't like that, it makes my string shape look horrible.

Let's play a bit more cat's cradle shall we? I need a bit more pawns and string! I want to make a more interesting shape. Can he also join me in my game?, it'll be fun for sure!!

A tangent with another person. Then another round of the game! It has been so fun to play it, i-it hurts but I don't care it's fun!

Maybe I should stop. Maybe I should just relax once in a while. Well gentlemen, thank you for playing this game with me, it was fun.
