I’m going back to Cali…Cali…Cali…

[End Master]

Actually not really, since it’ll be my first time there. Assuming I don’t have to deal with the crappy airline cancellation wave that’s been going around here, I’ll be there tomorrow. (Top Secret stuff. Shhhh…)


Anyway, if something happens to me:

Katie gets all my stories and must avenge my death

The rest of you don't get anything, but you must avenge my death anyway.

That is all.

[Usoki]

And we would know if something happened to you...how?

[donteatpoop]

Instinctively, we will know, Usoki. Have fun, EndMaster.

[apotheosis]

If End is offline for more than 8 hours, we know he is dead.


I shall avenge you by adding a Endmaster Memorial to Hall of Infinite Doors. It will have hundreds of rooms and tens of thousands of words.

I'll also call the cops and tell them MRH did it. (killed you)

[End Master]

If End is offline for more than 8 hours, we know he is dead.

Ha ha, not exactly true, but a pretty good fair guess regardless.

Anyway, I'm in Cali, and alive (So far)

If something interesting occurs, I'll be sure to write an amusing story about it, but so far I don't feel any different.

Stay tuned!

[End Master]

Well so far the comic shops out here suck. I can't believe they have significantly less stock than the ones back home.

It's way too sunny out here too. Hot all year round, and barely any rain. (Like almost never) Too much hilly terrain, chaotic layout, the traffic sucks, everyone drives like idiots (Even moreso than usual) and the people are annoying and in the way all the time. (Even moreso than usual)

Not sure why a lot of people think this place is the "place" to be and why the rest of America pales in comparison. Of course maybe its possible I'm in the wrong part of California, or I've missed the point, or it could just be that I'm an anti-social bastard. (That's probably it)

The "Bodies Exhibition" was cool though and I found a bunch of movies I couldn't find back home and they were practically free.

(I thought it was important to end on a positive note)

[Hi! My name is: Katie]

You are enjoying yourself, don't try to hide it. Did you even mention your new friend Guanda the iguana? Because I don't remember you noting it, and as hard as it is for you to make friends, you should really appreciate every new one.

AND, you are going to get to run your toes in the Pacific. That's pretty special.

AND you got some cool movies and stuff, so the trip hasn't been a total bust. Besides, your nature is not to care at all no matter what. So don't fuss, or you'll make people doubt your trademark stoicism.

Bring me a seashell.
~Katie

[End Master]

Grr! You weren’t supposed to tell everyone that! Now you’ve ruined my “rep” around here!

And I’m only going into the Pacific, since next year I’m going into the Atlantic and I have to have symmetry!

Yeah it's okay here, I just like complaining.

[Nappi]

What part of California are you in? Sounds like L.A. by all the complaints.
I feel for you on the comic-book shop situation,I have always thought thats where all the good comic-books lived.If by chance you see Realm #11 volume 1 could you buy it (and we can work out a deal later.)
good luck on the rest of your visit:cool:

[End Master]

San Diego. I’m actually visiting family, so I wasn’t doing anything too top secret.

Yeah, the comic shop stuff is weird. All the ones I visited only had the most recent issues. It’s like nobody believes in keeping back issues lying around. Oddly there isn’t even an “underground” comics section which I would’ve thought would’ve been more prominent around here. It’s mainly just the mainstream stuff and that’s still pretty limited. And everything is wrapped in plastic so you can’t just pick it up and glance through it.

They sell a lot of toy figures and those Anime novels though. One of them was also selling DVDs, but I haven’t seen any selling of fantasy/D&D game geek stuff.


By the way, I bought Pan's Labryrinth and Spirited Away so if I don't like them, I'm blaming you guys.

[donteatpoop]

Hey look guys, EndMaster is human.

Say hi to Guanda for me!

[Usoki]

If you don't like Spirited Away, you should shoot yourself in the foot. That way, you'll have an awkward, freakish limp, and other people will be able to tell right away you're not fully human.

[apotheosis]

Even if you don't like it, you won't be able to turn away. It is one of the most bizarre and fascinating movies I've ever seen.

[End Master]

Home again! Yay!

[donteatpoop]

Home again! Yay!

Damn it. Those hitmen better give me a refund then.

[apotheosis]

DEP, did you get one of those 3 dollar an hour Mexican hitmen? I hear they aren't terribly reliable.

[End Master]

There won’t be a refund, after I dispatched the assassins I took what remaining money they had on them.

Found geek book that Apoth would probably be interested in: The “Book of Erotic Fantasy”. Talks about how to go about adding tons of sex in your RPG. Gives a bunch of sex related spells, charts concerning STDs, etc. and goes on about how each of the fantasy races approaches sex.

Unsurpringly Elves are a bunch of bisexual hedonists while Dwarves are rather conservative about the whole affair.

Half-orcs like the rough stuff and don’t waste time with weirdo fetishes or deviant behavior. Halflings are all tender about it, and Gnomes are the sex toy makers of the fantasy world.

And having sex with a zombie IS necrophilia, but apparently having sex with a vampire isn’t.

EDIT: Whoops, I guess doing a vampire is still considered necrophilia, BUT because they are intelligent, it can be consensual sex and therefor "okay."

Illuminating!

[apotheosis]

Oh, I didn't notify you guys. I've effectively quit RPG's. I've decided they severly limit my chances of getting laid. I'm going to focus more on physical exercise and a social life come college and try to shed my cloak of nerdom.

Though I will still of course keep writing infinite stories... I've actually got a major project starting up which I'll write more about once I get a significant chunk completed. Suffice to say, it is such an undertaking that I may not be able to compete in the tournament.

[Usoki]

Pssh. Considering that one Beastiary story you wrote...I'm pretty sure that cloak of nerdom has been fastened onto your shoulderblades. Literally on your shoulderblades- pierced onto your skeleton.

How would RPGs limit gettling laid? Just don't tell 'em. It's not like they'll leave a tracer for weeks after you've played much. I can't this new you lasting very long, assuming the old you was based heavily on your natural personality. At least, that's what I've always noticed. College may be the perfect time to reinvent yourself, but I sure as hell could never do it. XD

[End Master]

Shedding your nerdom? Is such a thing possible? I think it’s a condition you’re born with; you can’t get rid of it completely. There will always be that dark part within you calling for you to put down the weights and pick up the latest game module.

You can try to suppress it, but you’ll be unable to. While talking to head cheerleader at some frat party, you will accidentally make a reference to mind flayers. Fortunately she won’t pick up the reference at all, but your inner nerd will already be creeping in.

Soon you’ll make more apparent slip ups and during a casual conversation about mainstream movies, you’ll mention how the orcs in Lord of the Rings should’ve had more hit points and go on about how the Trolls should’ve had regeneration.

At this point even all your most dimwitted new jock buddies will catch on that you’re really too passionate about this subject and will know what you REALLY are. “NERD!” They’ll all belch in unison and then grab you, strip you to your underwear and give you the infamous atomic wedgie before throwing you into the dirty college fountain. Of course someone will also have a cell phone to take pics of this inglorious moment and post your humiliation all over the web.

At this point you will have no choice, but to return to your nerd roots and take up gaming again. Fortunately nerds are a forgiving lot and you’ll be accepted again. Plus you still probably got more muscles so you may be able to bully the rest of them and have your pick of the few nerd girls in the pack.

[Usoki]

...

Wow, what the hell kind of social clique is this? Am I missing out? I know you're exaggerating with dramatic flare, but...damn!

Is this sorta like how I always went to the wrong Summer Camps and Band Camps? I've never known anyone to have a story worthy of the "That one, eventful week of Summer Camp" or "This one time, at Band Camp..." intro phrases.

[apotheosis]

Well, to be more honest, I'm not trying to eliminate it completely. I'm just trying to limit the amount of time I spend on such things. Plus, the college I'm going to does not have fraternities, so I will have to receive cheerleader head somewhere other than a frat party.
