is a virtue, but when it's coming from a hulking mountain of a Revenant that tries to come in one of the first floor windows at two in the morning, fails, then picks the lock on the back door and sets off the house alarm (should have checked for tripwires, Frank!), cops a bag of curry powder to the face, and then stops, looks like he's listening to something for a second and then runs away like Vivi's brother just asked him to play mah-jong with him, it's just plain annoying.
So Vivi and I end up standing outside at 5.15am, in our pajamas, watching Frank run off. She looked at me, eyes wide, and I stared back at her.
She went "Bloody hell." and we both fell about laughing hysterically on the front lawn. Now our neighbours think we're a bit..."quirky".
I know sunsets are the typical romantic thing, but I'm partial to sunrises myself. Watching night turn into day.
I mean...we're lucky. The only things that have gone horribly wrong have been the Looped Apartment and the Ruins. I have to steal moments like that when I can because, well...
You never know when it'll all turn to dust in your hands.

I suggest next time you fill it with chili powder. That shit'll burn their eyes to hell, and they'll not be able to go *anywhere*.
ReplyDeleteRevenants are hyper sensitive, correct? Then I bet they're hyper sensitive to having fire thrown into their eyes.
Cinnamon also burns the eyes. I suggest mixing curry powder and chili powder with it for added effect. I use the combination of those three plus brown sugar when making chili it's yummy.
ReplyDeleteWe already have cinnamon, I'll get some chilli powder next time I go to get groceries. Thanks for the help.

Even better, if you can rig it up to spray mace right in their faces, that stuff's made strictly to ruin someone's day. But then again, I've no idea what kind of device you've MacGyver'd, so it might not be feasible.
ReplyDeleteIf its not, the chili powder and other things should hopefully stun him enough to potentially empty a shell or two into him.
Alternatively: If it stuns him long enough, call the police on him and have them stop being useless for once.
...What is mace?
ReplyDeleteWe haven't Macguyvered anything. I just threw an open tin of curry powder at the guy and hoped for the best.
--Vivi
Mace, another word for pepper spray.
ReplyDeleteAnd I figured that you'd set it up so that along with the alarm going off, it shot a cloud of something at him. You mentioned a tripwire, and that immediately brought to mind the death traps of one Kevin Macallister, sorry.
No, although I might get one of those automatic flyspray-dispenser things and rig it up to do that, although I'd rather not in case someone we know (Leah, Max, Vivi's sister etc) comes to visit and come sin the back door.

Its a possibility, just brainstorming right now.
ReplyDeleteI second JediZero's mace comment. Minecraft Creeper didn't take kindly to me spraying him with it. Looking back, it was actually kind of hilarious.
ReplyDeleteYou guys are crazy prepared. I respect that. Unfortunately for me, there's only so many ways you can booby trap a dorm room, and most of them would get me in trouble. >.< Ah, well, I've been getting most of my sleeping done during the day anyways.

I'm not sure how easy it is to get ahold of Pepper Spray in New Zealand, but we'll do all that.
ReplyDeleteI used to like putting gadgets together in my room when I was younger. I made a doorbell and shit. I never thought that would come in so useful...
--Chester
Watch Macgyver, he has all sorts of ideas and suggestions.
ReplyDeleteAnd I have to sleep now. Hopefully I'll survive another morning.
Since I'm not in mortal peril, most likely I will.
Surviving = good. Please do survive.
ReplyDelete--Vivi
I am awake, once again!
ReplyDeleteAny luck on getting that mace?
Dear Chester:
ReplyDeletePlease avoid tempting fate.
It's not done us any good so far.
Also, as always, glad you're both okay. <3
Stay safe?
@Jedi: We've been asleep, Jedi! It's 9:00 in the morning here- we're at work. We're gonna look for mace after it finishes.
ReplyDelete@Jean: Chester has not quite gotten used to this whole "Genre Savvy" thing, but he's on his way. I'm glad you're okay too, Jean <3 We'll stay safe, or at least try to. We're nowhere near badass enough to start throwing ourselves around the way some of the other bloggers do.
--Vivi
Ah yes, that pesky time zone thing.
ReplyDeleteSorry.
How's the day been so far?
ReplyDeleteIt was okay. Until now.
