(Mike again) When we left off our heroic adventurers were battling the evil dragon and saving some sort of fair maiden or something, no no wait that was a different story this is the one with billboard off highway 100 right? ok so After Elizabeth climbed down from the billboard which must have been 3 miles high (I kid u a little) We took a little trip down to city hall, located very VERY close to the police station. Which I might add, is rumored to actually be the hideout of known police officers. Anyway we checked out the symbolic and patriotic art work hanging on the walls in the front lobby or whatever, and left wondering why we weren't invited to crash on our teachers lawn this summer. (Elizabeth) So from there, we went to the park. The playground at this particular park, Mike pointed out, was designed by someone on drugs. At first glance, all the play equipment SEEMS like what you'd find at any other park, but on closer examination, you begin to realize that everything is slightly off. The planks on the bridge don't connect to one another, leaving gaping holes for children to fall through. The thing that you grab onto to slide on across (zipline?) doesn't really slide. However, as we were approaching the playground, we noticed a ribbon hanging from a tree. I pulled on it, and found a yellow balloon attached to the other end. It was magical, I guess.
Suddenly, a figure appeared on the horizon. We tried to stalk him, but when he sat down on the bench and started to pray, (at least that's what it looked like to us) we got scared and abandoned our attempt. (Mike) His walk we decided was like an overly angry march and he had long legs so it seemed rather cartoonish, also he was wearing a camouflage army shirt and weird "hot topic" like dark cargo pants with huge pockets. As we returned to the car we noticed an old couple who may or may not have been A) friends B) planning a revolution C) drug smuggling D) spying on random people who walk through the park E) having an affair. They did seem to take separate cars we sadly figured E. Then we drove to Nerd Heaven. Yes, Dreamers was packed with magic playing geeks of all flavors, and we admired them through the large glass windows, that is before we joined by a man who may or may not have been homeless/what I will be in a month. He was rather friendly though and seemed particularly interested in the young lady accompanying me. After much wild discussion me and Elizabeth shrinked away feeling slightly uncomfortable (being suburban white teens, so sad, no excuse I know) Then I reversed straight into the side wall of Dreamers. (no major damage I hope) and we went forth into the night to seek more adventure. Tune in next time (later tonight) for the exciting conclusion to the epic tale of woe and mystery or something.
