Every once in a while one of my friends will send a group text with a string of emoticons, and the rest of us are tasked with interpreting the story they tell. I thought it was pretty fun so I decided to try it out here.
Please be sure to quote the smiley story you are writing for! Also, the game my friends and I play has tons of random emoticons, so I'd recommend searching for others to mix things up a bit. I'll start us off with just the smilies from this site. I tried to create something that has a bit of cohesion for the first round, but honestly some of the best rounds I've played were completely random!
First round:
Example (quick and simple, they can be any length):
I love bubble gum and whistling, which is not the greatest combination. One day I was doing both and my gum flew out my mouth and landed on the person next to me. Unfortunately they had a rare allergy that makes Bubblegum a strong hallucinogenic. They promptly overdosed.
