Your press the record button for your latest upcoming TikTok. “Hi, I’m {$player_name}. On Saturdays, we do arms. Because if you want a thick chick on her hands and knees…taking your beef where she cuts the cheese… your arms better be FN swole.” whilst doing endless pushups.
recording for TikTok again. “Hi, I’m {$player_name}. On Sundays, we do biceps. Cuz if you wanna take a chick out for sushi…before you cream pie her coochie… your biceps better be FN swole.” and flex as hard as you can for the camera.
Yeah, I went there… I said what I said. Come at me.
Here’s a few that I came up with. Added some jokey options that could be rare or just put into the mix for some levity!
Self-Training:
find a nearby tree and kick it over and over. Your shins are a little sore, but you swear that the tree is tilting slightly more to the side than it was before. You gain {$powerlevel_gain} to your base and lose {$powerlevel_lost} to your current powerlevel.
take a quick jog around the area, working up a nice sweat. Your stamina has increased slightly and your power level grows by {$powerlevel_gain} while also losing {$powerlevel_lost} to your current powerlevel.
grasp onto a nearby rock that looks pretty sizable. You crouch down low and with a slow, controlled motion, lift the rock with your legs and lower back before raising the rock above your head. After repeating this process a few times, you feel your base powerlevel rise by {$powerlevel_gain}, but your current powerlevel also decreases by {$powerlevel_lost}.
jump in place, bringing your legs out in front of you while your in the air. Your core burns, and your breathing is ragged. Yet, your baseline powerlevel has certainly increased by {$powerlevel_gain} and you lose {$powerlevel_lost} to your current powerlevel.

pause for a moment and ponder the moon. Looking at its silvery surface, you notice that it always appears to be the same moon, no matter the time. It has been the same moon since you can first remember glancing at it. If one face of the moon is always showing, what must the other side look like? Does it receive the sun’s warmth?
