I went for a walk in the park. I climbed a tree and laughed at the swiriling leaves below me scrambling about like so many NIKIs trying to grab to reach my high Pony and I pretended to type insults over their futile efforts at base defense. Then I spread my arms, jumped out of the tree and ran as fast as I could to extend, leaving the scrambling NIKIs far behind.
I saw a poor old burnout from the 60s reciting cryptic poetry to an audience of squirrels, who I believe were more attracted by the popcorn he periodically dropped from his long greasy fingers than by the sheer beauty of his prose. When he talked about "butt tards" and "cancerous noodle growths on yer crazy ass" I was reminded of Creamo of the O'Club and I squelched him, spread my arms and WEPed away from this pathetic dreg of humanity as fast as I could. I love flying Ponys.
As I ran through the park with the wind whistling through my ears it made me think that Mitsu may have cheated in his soundpak and recorded REAL sounds from nature. I knew they were too good to be real but had forgotten how they sounded, it has been so long. I closed my eyes, sprinting through the park with the chill of the Autumn air on my potato-white face when I tripped over a sprinkler.
"Ostwind!!!" my mind screamed as I fought to regain control of my spinning self and avoid crashing into the ground. "Damn, I should have been watching for GVs!" I stumbled several steps, regained my balence and continued running, albeit with a noticible limp.
Pressing Ctrl-D I discovered all I had suffered was a badly- stubbed big toe and could limp back to the bus when I noticed a full fledged assault taking place- several Jesus Freaks were handing out literature at the bus stop, and me, damaged and having to land, would surely be picked of by these leafleting vultures.
I cut my power back to 50%, diverted my course and grabbed two blocks away to avoid their vulch fest, and landed on the bus stop bench just in time for the bus to take me safely back to the tower. I may not have gotten any kills, but at least I didn't crash and burn on this mission. I should get out more often.
