First, here's that clip I saw yesterday: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=deoOTqT-SMI
It's cool, it has him beaming in...
Anyway, today was the start of Haymaker Gotcha. It's a game where everyone signed up gets a target to kill with a Nerf dart, as well as being a target for someone else. I awoke this morning to find my assignment in an envelope by the door, and a letter from my "killer" was taped to the door as well. He had done some extensive research, because he had found my deviantArt page and was commenting on it. Meanwhile, I pondered over who Raano Mabetlr could be...
So anyway, in order to stay "alive," I took the stairwell at the end of the hall to avoid the lobby, a place that is open for attacks, unlike a dorm room or the hallway. I did that pretty much all day, and then before I left to meet Megan at the mall, Ethan came into the room and said there was someone in the lobby wanting to talk to me. Now, I could definitely tell that was suspicious. So I went all the way to the stairwell and out to my vehicle...
Coming back after going to work, I braved the lobby, but kept my hat brim low and head down. All clear coming in. So I went about my life in the safety of my room. Then several minutes ago, I received a text, from an unknown number. It said 'Hey chase this is mike can you meet me down stairs?' Suspicious, I know. I responded by asking 'Y? I need specifics or I may "die."' Response from "Mike" was 'I dont know tayler needs to talk to you but his phone is dead'. So, with my curiousity getting the best of me, I went downstairs, changing jackets first to slightly alter my appearance, detouring the stairwell and going through the 2nd floor lobby to emerge from a better vantage point... There was nobody waiting in the lobby, so to look like I had come with a purpose, I went for the mailboxes and picked up the mail. Then on the way back, I noticed someone following me. I paused, then continued, and he called my name. Instinctivly, I reacted, turning around, and was darted...
We took the elevator up and I gave him my target slip. It was after we split that I realized the name was jumbled... My target was supposed to be Aaron Lambert, who happens to be an easier directory search than Raano Mabetlr...
In retrospect, I realize that it could've been avoided. After all, I have Mike's number, as well as Tayler's. And if one of them needed to speak to me, they could come to me. But I was curious, and wanted to know who my attacker was... and looks to me like curiousity killed the cat... But now I know more for next time, and I will definitely play again. The anxiety of it all was fun, but I just wished I could've lasted more than 24 hours... But my killer kept the promise he left on the note on my door: you will be "gotcha'ed" within the next 24 hours.
