Racouol Posted June 2, 2009 Report Posted June 2, 2009 The door to the common area flies open allowing dirt to fly in with the wind. A figure quickly walks into the room and attempts to shut the door behind him only to have the door overpowers him and pin him to the wall. After struggling for a few minutes he manages to get the door shut. The figure take off his coat and gives it a good shake filling the room with dust before shoving the coat into his pocket. He then walks over to a corner table, sits down, takes off his left boot, and shakes it upsidedown. While shaking his boot all sorts of rock, tree branches, thorn bushes, lizards, birds, insects, and a rabbit falls out of it. The figure lifts the boot to his face and looks in it, "Ahh, that is what was giving me that nasty blister." He reaches into his boot and pulls out a tiny grain of sand. Satisfied, he puts on his boot and takes off the other one. Shaking this boot dumps out several hundred gallons of water and mud, several frogs, and a few annoyed scorpions. After putting on his other boot the figure takes a dirty rag from his pocket and wipes off his face, revealing that he is Racouol. OOC: Hey everyone. It has been a while since I was last here. Just poking in to check to see how everyone is doing. I am fine and I am proud to say that I am about half way done with my journey.
Peredhil Posted June 2, 2009 Report Posted June 2, 2009 *hugs!* Welcome back. I'm envious that Patrick got to see you and I didn't.
Wyvern Posted June 4, 2009 Report Posted June 4, 2009 "Terribly sorry about that, Racouol." Racouol raises a brow at the sound of an unfamiliar grainy voice, and turns his head only to step back with a start. The door he had passed through, which now had a growing puddle of boot juice advancing towards its floor cracks, appeared to be speaking to him through its fancy keyhole. The door creaks open a little more so that the copper doorknob is directly facing Racouol, then continues in its eastern European accent. "Didn't mean to overpower you like that, I mistook you for someone else. You see, Woody the Office Door summoned me to... oh, wait a minute, here he comes now." "Racouol!" Wyvern barges down the hall towards the Cabaret Room, waving an Almost Dragonic Brand Geld Mining Travel Guide in claw and gesturing enthusiastically. "You jussst gotta see this guidebook!" The door silently creaks open, ready to execute the perfect timing of its Triple Splinter Overpower Pseudo-Slam... OOC: Glad to hear your journey is going well Racouol. :-) Fill us in with more updates when you can!
Racouol Posted June 19, 2009 Author Report Posted June 19, 2009 Racouol winces as he watches Wyvern walk into the Door's attack. He then looks down at the guidebook and sees the Almost Draconic logo on it. Ignoring Wyvern's cry for help he decides that the "guidebook" needs to be placed in a safe location so he shoves it into his pocket. "Peredhil, Gwaihir....how have you two been. Let me buy you a drink." Racouol then turns to the bartender, "Bartender, get me a mead and these two whatever they want." Racouol winces again when he heard another almost draconic yelp come from the door, "And should Wyvern manage to escape the door's wrath, get him what he wants as well." Racouol fishes in his pocket and pulls out a bag that is dripping a greenish goo. He fishes in the goo for a moment and pulls out several ooze covered geld and an angry snapping turtle. OOC: Thanks Wyv Peredhil and Gwaihir. Luckly for me the trail is going to be running through towns more often so I will be able to log on more often. However I still will be hiking until August 20 so it will not be as often as I would like and I will not have IRC access until then.
The Portrait of Zool Posted July 6, 2009 Report Posted July 6, 2009 Good to see you Racouol! Hope the rest of your journey is smooth, and that you may be checking in more often! My goodness, seems we have been seeing a lot of returns lately - and in the middle of summer no less! Most interesting.
Racouol Posted July 22, 2009 Author Report Posted July 22, 2009 Thanks Zool, I will do my best to pop in every once in a while.
Racouol Posted August 17, 2009 Author Report Posted August 17, 2009 Well I am officially done with the AT. I was not able to complete my hike but I was able to hike about 1450 of the 2178 miles. Will be back home in HI on the 25th.
The Portrait of Zool Posted August 17, 2009 Report Posted August 17, 2009 (edited) 1450 miles!? That sounds... adaquate... Hope to be seeing more of you! Edited August 17, 2009 by The Portrait of Zool
