Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

I just remembered last weekend by reading one of my friend's journals. Updates following specific events (namely the movie) will follow up sometime in the not-so-distant-yet-fairly-far-off future.

So one of my good friends came down from Utah because of a funeral. He's done this before on several occasions, which results in me planning a movie the weekend he's down so a bunch of us can enter an state of pure jack-assery.

So we saw When A Stranger Calls. Many laughs were made at the horror film. After that was done, though, was when the great fun started.

You see, there was I, my friend (who's on Gaia), his girlfriend (also on Gaia), my Utah white compradre of annoyance (now referred here on out as UWCoA), his sister and much more. So his sister leaves the group with her friend. We really don't care at the moment, though we keep an open mind about the fact in case crap happens, as happening is what crap most often does. So they're gone. Then UWCoA and one of my friend's annoying little sister run off. Because we men have no will power against that of a savage, unruly and fierce seventh grader. While they're off, two of my other friends leave. So it's just me and both my Gaia friends. So what do we do?

We play Mall Tag. It's like tag, except in a mall and very similar to hide and go seek. Naturally I came up with the brilliant plan to ditch the returning people.

So my party of three hide. After boredom and near death sets in, we trek out to find new shelter. Along the way, we meet UWCoA's sister and her friend. We agree we've never met, and move on.

Soon I get bored and start to think hiding place one was much easier to hide in. Naturally it was my idea in the first place to leave, so I manage to get them to head back. But then we run into a Notorious Monster. Our weak party had no chance against this strong seventh grader of a montser. I opted to run and soon the other two agree. But our white mage got attacked and was being savagely beaten by the NM, and since she's our Warrior's girlfriend, he went back to try to save her.

"No you fool! She can just respawn at her home-point!" I yell. But he ignores me. So what does a mage do at this point? He runs like any other good man should do.

So I run. I eventually run into UWCoA. I opt to form a party with him (afterall, he's a priest. Every party needs at least one healer in the group). So he does so. And the the NM refinds us. We run again, this time to the nearest down escalator.

So we get down on floor one. "Where do we go now?" asks UWCoA. I glance, noticing they, too, are heading to the escalator. I head to the up escalator. When we get up, they're just getting down. Such pattern continue a few more times, ending with us up and them about to ascend.

Now at this point, I'm tired of running. It's not worth it for the experience to keep runnin. So I decide to sit and wait until the NM comes and kills us. Best to respawn than to waste time. But she doesn't, and I'm brought crashing down back into reality.

We then loiter around the food court, tossing jokes, having fun, throwing insults. More merriment was had. Twas all good.

But the whole moral of the story is that we had much fun running around a mall in a confused state of merriment. Next time you have a group of ten people, play Mall Tag. 3nodding
