40 - Brawl in the parking lot.
[email protected]
And so I borrowed Pete's truck again to drive Del
out to Obern, where there are still some open
clearance warehouse stores. Del's shoes are worn
out and they're really picky about shoes. I wait
in the truck while Del goes in. And just when
they're getting back, that's when things start
up. Didn't see who first said what about who, but
there's these five elfs standing by a red sports
car who start cussing and screaming at the top of
their lungs at these centaurs in the row across,
who are cussing and yelling right back. And it
goes on and on, and everyone else who's in the lot
is like whoa. And I'm just sitting there in the
truck, watching all this go on from across the
other row. And Del gets back and is like what the
hell, and I'm like, I don't know. Because you see,
all this is going on in some Olds tongue that we
can't neither of us understand.
And then it really busts open. And the elfs whip
out these slingshots and start whipping stones,
and they have pretty bad aim and are busting
windows and lights on all the nearby cars. And the
centaurs charge at them, and try to run down the
elfs, and from somewhere a bunch of goblins have
come out and jumped on the back of the centaurs
and are flinging poop at the elfs. Poop-throwing
goblins riding centaurs? Didn't know that was a
thing. It's just bonkers, and everyone else now is
running away and screaming. Except this one woman
wearing a ninja turtles mask, an employee who
comes out to collect all the returned shopping
carts from right in the middle of all this, and
she doesn't even look up or miss a beat. Another
day another dollar. I really want to meet her.
Anyways, soon it's just this mad chase around the
cars which are all getting wrecked by centaur
kicks, so Del and I are like, let's get out of
here. And as we're pulling back onto the road, we
see one of the Braxon chieftain's trucks is racing
up and pulling in. That's never good... And as we
drive off, we hear that pop pop... pop. And we
just drive home in silence, and I'm feeling
sick. But at least Del got some shoes.
