Re: [OT] Story
Chapitre Six
The men walked the safety route of the mysterious and eerie jungle. There were many unusual things in this place such as flies in the shape of macaroni noodles and malfunctioned speaker bugs - bugs in the shape of speakers that sporadically broadcast thoughts and spoken phrases aloud. (NOTE: the workplace got new phones and a new phone system on Friday and on Saturday we were still trying to figure it out and get used to it. Someone kept hitting speaker phone or leaving the hold button on over the intercom so that's how the speaker bugs came to be part of this story. It was very interruptive and I needed another insect to invent)
"This is SO WEIRD!" Kestegs exclaimed. A stick of butter with orange, black, and white colored wings fluttered in front of his face.
"A monarch butterfly. They say when they fly in front of your face they are offended by it," Corax told him.
"Oh, bug off! It likes me."
"Oh, bug off! It likes me," echoed a speaker bug nearby.
A macaroni fly buzzed by Marahumm. As he waved his hand around to shoo it off, Cakes caught itand cautiously said, "Don't hit the macaroni fly! Those are the servants of the Flying Spaghetti Monster!"
"He's real?!" Gorny and Kestegs said together.
"For this story's purpose, yes. Granted, the macaroni flies are the lowest of the servants and the angel-haired bees are the highest, you don't want to kill any of them. Else you get balls to the face. Meatballs, that is."
"Ha! Teabagged with meatballs. How tasty," Gorny snorted.
They walked on and took in the amazing sights: exotic flowers (literally. These flowers pole danced on trees and their branches, shouting vulgar things such as, "Wanna touch my stamen and pistols, baby?"), polar bears ("I told you!"), exploding Death Stars.
"They live for three minutes, explode, try to rebuild, and explode again. Don't inhale the smoke. It will kill you. Here." Cakes passed out black face masks. "This should help."
"I feel like my transformation is almost complete," Gorny said with a nerdy smile.
"I ran out of helmets, Darthsithius." (NOTE: omg, i hope that's right or almost right! It's supposed to be the name of Gorny's Rogue. Sorry if that's not right. I deleted the PM on accident!
)
Time passed and appetites grew. But where was a safe place to eat?
"I know there's a lake or pond around here somewhere," Corax mumbled to himself as he wandered off.
"Wait for me!" Cakes shouted and disappeared.
"Guys, don't leave us! Perfect. What great leaders they are." Kestegs sourly replied.
"Well, they don't seem to be Eagle Scout material," Gorny chuckled. Marahumm gave the Eagel Scout salute. "But we'll be fine. I highly doubt they leave us here in this strange jungle. Don't look at me like that, Mara!"
"Guys, look!" Kestegs held up a piece of sprinkled rainbow cake. "Cake in the jungle! We're saved!"
"Where'd you find that?"
"On the ground over here." He sniffed it. "Smells freshly baked. NOM!"
Gorny was puzzled. "You're going to eat some random piece of rainbow cake that might be poisoned or turn you into a hairy fairy out here in this crazy jungle? Did Noodle not teach you anything?!"
"I'm starving! And while it tastes wonderful, there is a weird back taste and odor. Like, I don't get it until I'm done swallowing, but it sorta reminds me of something. Like, when Chubs and her brother were babies. I dunno why-"
"DON'T EAT THAT!" the two brothers came running to Kestegs. Cakes reached him first and slapped the tasty dessert out of his hand. Corax slapped Kestegs's face.
"OWW! JEE-SUS! What was that for?"
"Mainly 'cuz I wanted to slap you. Secondly, you're eating dung and I was hoping to knock it out of your mouth."
"Beg your ****in' pardon?!"
"You're eating unicorn ****!"
Gorny and Marahumm roared with laughter as Kestegs found a bush to vomit behind. "OH, GAWD! THERE'S MORE RAINBOW CAKES BACK HERE!! BLUURRRRGGHHH (blech) !!"
Corax rubbed his back soothingly. "Silly American. Didn't you know unicorns fart cotton candy and **** rainbow colored cake?"
Kestegs finished, wiped his mouth and said, "Now I know why it reminded me of my kids. It was when I had to change their diapers." He lurched again.
"When he's done with that, we found a pond we can all chill out and eat at," Cakes said. "The water is safe to drink and no rainbow crap around either!"
