Description:

Attending an arts school is a pretty inopportune time to discover incredible athletic talent. Fortunately for the eight members of the table tennis club, this doesn’t happen to them. They’re abysmal. While they all suck, that’s okay, because sucking together is what it's all about. The concept even extends to aspects of their lives outside of extracurriculars— most notably, their pact to remain single, pathetic losers together forever. Because honestly, there’s only one time a year when the rest of the student body remembers the table tennis club even exists, and it’s during the club fundraiser, packed with horrifically embarrassing, cursed merchandise of each other. But this insultingly lucrative fundraiser covers the cost of their annual weekend getaway to a luxurious, secluded rented house. It’s all worth the terminal loserism for an extended weekend of expensive grilled meat and bonding.

It’s worth it, right? Surely no one would betray the unit by hiding a relationship, effectively destroying the foundation of the group.

But they all underestimate another important core value of this scheming friend group— as far as the table tennis team is concerned, dignity is subjective, and most importantly, optional.

Notes:

This silly goofy series all began because my sister and I stayed up way too late watching old 2 Kid Room videos while way too caffeinated. There was a conversation about a piece of very specific SKZ lore (you’ll know what it is when you read the series, I promise) and then the next thing I knew, the sun was rising, and I had each part fully planned out ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Anyway, there are little easter eggs in each part, so please read in order for the maximum amount of joy. Obviously, this series is ongoing and will be updated as new parts come out. There will be one part for each SKZ guy, plus a bonus part!
