2nd Check-In; Dictated

[holyrabies]

Okay, so, I'm starting to notice that some of you guys... Don't know what a zing is. Which makes me kind of sad, really, because everyone should know about zings.

So, for those of you who don't know, I'm gonna explain when a zing is.

A zing is when you see someone for the first time, and they see you, and you feel... Something! This feeling... It's like... Well, a zing! I really don't know how else to explain it. But being someone's zing is, like, really important and special. Zings should stick together for life, especially because you only zing once.

I guess it's... Kind of like a soulmate? But it's not. It's a zing.

Have any of you ever zinged?

Okay seriously. The more you say that word, the weirder it sounds.

[holyrabies]

I think all words do that.

[bezazzled]

True! But I think this word moreso has that effect because it starts to lose meaning and just sounds like you're making sound effects.

Is it seriously called a "zing" where you're from?

[heloise]

Does life not start with a zing?

[holyrabies]

How so?

[heloise]

It isn't life until then.

[huffythedragon]

...So what happens if you zing with someone but they don't zing with you?

[Because unrequited love? SUCKS]

[holyrabies]

I... Don't know. I thought that happened to me, but it wasn't like that. Maybe just give it time?

[huffythedragon]

I don't think time will change her mind.

[molotov]

Is that what you call it, then?

[holyrabies]

Yeah! What do you call it?

[molotov]

I do not quite know that we have a word for it. "Love at first sight", maybe?

[deterrence]

[oh no

why...does this make sense...even though it sounds like complete bull...]

[deterrence]

Why the differentiation between it and a soulmate?

[holyrabies]

I'm not really sure how to explain... A zing is just different. It's not just the feeling, it's the knowing.

[quarterelf]

I've never heard of a word like that before. I don't think I understand...

[holyrabies]

Well, okay, say you see somebody, and it's just like... ZING! You just have this feeling, you know?

[imalwaysright]

... So something bigger than a crush?

[holyrabies]

Definitely bigger than a crush.

[luthored]

If you only 'zing' once, how is it different from a soulmate?

[holyrabies]

Zinging isn't just feeling that way. It's... Knowing, right away, that you do.

[takethat]

...I love it!

[This term now has the Phoenix Seal of Approval.]

[holyrabies]

Awesome!

[telemysticist]

A "Zing" ya say...?

[The young southern-accented boy, who at the moment sounds a little weak like he might be a bit ill, thinks about this for a moment... before realizing he doesn't even have to think twice.]

... So that's what s'called!
Why yes, a'most certainly have!

[holyrabies]

Really? That's so great!
