The joys of being a volunteer
« on: October 17, 2009, 11:04:18 PM »
Sometimes, the weirdest things happen.

So, here I am volunteering at a haunted mansion, right now.  I'm currently sitting in a crawlspace, waiting for the little chilluns to arrive.  Someone else and I are going to bang on the walls, to imitate spirits in a seance.  John Brown / Johnny Five-Aces is below us.  He's a zombie, waiting inside a fake couch.  We'll get to hear him yell like an idiot, along with another friend.  Lol.  Yet another friend of mine is going to spray water/"blood" at people from above.

Oddly enough, we have WiFi (if only at 5%) and pizza.  Apparently, we are going to have to wait for long periods of time between groups.  The joys of computers and decks of playing cards.  

Unfortunately, my charge is currently at only 50% and the antenna sucks energy.  So don't expect any updates until later.  (Oh, wait - I'll be on John Brown's IP later.  So nevermind.)

I'll try to get a sound recording - video would be completely useless.

Last year, I'm told a group of drunk college kids came, thinking it would be good fun.  Instead, they got scared s***less.  I'll try to get a list of who comes through.  I AM behind a wall, mind you.

Damn, this insulation itches.

EDIT:  Try using the chat.
EDIT 2: I disconnect about every five minutes.  FFFFFFFFFFFUU-

Volunteer work?

Eww. I'm too poor to do something without a monetary denomination attached.

Well, he's probably already dead, eaten by zombies.

Sounds like fun. I just came back from a halloween thing at a theme park. My friend took me, of course. We don't have money for that.

I'll protect us.  Or at least come any way, since I'm the only one who can play fitting yet incredibly cheesy music.

Oooooh, with a loaded gun, (gun!) and a steady hand, we might make it through this! (aim for the head!)

To the Halls of the Fallen the mighty march.
Their achievements cheat both death and eternity.
Lives filled with honour and deaths filled with glory,
In songs and in poems their heroism lives on.

The story was that a killer was loose in the mansion.  We had a cop car and realistic cop costumes to round it off.

Someone found a dead deer in the woods.  I really don't want to know how they put that to use.

No college kids... we were terribly upset.  They freak out the best.
One kid yelling "Mommy, I'm scared!"
Two kids wailing the entire time.
We did have one kid going around.
"Yup, that's fake.  Yup, there's a guy there.  Yup, there's someone in the wall.  Yup, that's a AAAAAAAAAAH!  A CAT!!!!!!!! GET IT AWAY FROM ME!!!!!!!"  We didn't even have a cat there...

I was hiding in the wall, knocking once for "yes" and twice for "no."
 - 3 people won the lottery, 2 did not.
 - We told seven people they would not leave the building alive.
 - We told them we prefer McDonalds over Burger King.
 - Apparently, we were Michael Jackson and Billy Mays.
 - Also, Arby's was the basement.
 - One kid broke down upon hearing he would never be rich.

I'm going through about an hour and a half of stuff I recorded with my microphone.

But first, I have a sudden urge to kill someone.  Excuse me.

That scares the pants off me.

Not that it takes much for me and my pants to separate...

Now THAT is TRUE horror. Borderline psychological torture really.

"Mmmm, oh yeah.  Gimme that meat... oh I love bacon.  Oh yeah.  Pour that ketchup on me..."

But seriously, it wasn't my turn to answer the kids' questions.  I prefer BK, the other person didn't.
