Day 1- Dr Livingstoned's journal

Dr Livingstoned • Jan 25, 2009 8:14 am
Image

I have walked for many days. I'm hoping that the others can find me.


I have decided to strike a base camp here, in the hopes that the rest of the party can catch me up.

Yolamba (my pack boy) fell the other day crossing the great river to the east. I was forced to eat his remains, for sustenance and use his skull as a tea kettle to warm myself in this cold environment.

Still, jolly on and all that.

I shall map this location, and look about and see if I can make contact with any of the natives.

It looks to be a barren and inhospitable place.

If I cannot locate the rest of the party I only hope that someone stumbles upon my frozen corpse and finds these notes usefull.

god save the Queen,

Dr. Livingstoned.

I really want more of Doc Livingstone's Excellent Adventures. That was pretty darn funny.

Yolamba made me snort.

Nice to have you on board for all the excitement, eh Livingstone! You seem a straight up sort of fellow.

Well, well, Dr. Livingstoned. I have caught up with you at last! I know you tried to ditch all of us back at that crazy thinkers camp but we caught your scent very quickly. This camp looks like it will do nicely. Would you mind passing the tea. I'm parched from the long trek through the jungle.

You should pray that Uday doesn't catch up with us this time. Lord knows what he'd do to a place like this.

lumberjim • Jan 26, 2009 1:35 pm
Plan of Attack: Brainstorm

"NEWS TEAM, ASSEMBLE!!!"

Wherever we decide to explore, we should have an "intro" thread where we all make an initial appearance. Think of it as the opening credits to our TV show "....And Payne as Dr. Phineas T Poxswattle." *Payne poses*

We'll dick around on the forum, but most of the time, when something relevant is "happening", it'll happen in our intro thread. So as a brainstorm...

we all show up as safari explorers. In our intro thread we comment about the long dangerous trip through the internet, and the awful atrocities we've witnessed (you know like Goatse). We're looking for Dr. Livingstoned, who is lost on the internet. Smalltalk smalltalk adlib, etc

The next day, someone makes an alt of a "native forumite". He shows up in our thread and gives us some clues as to where Dr. Livingstoned is. Maybe he's been sighted viewing some other thread on the board.

Anyway, when we're ready to draw the antics to a close, Dr. Livingstoned shows up in our intro thread and we all shake his hand. Having recovered our teammate, we can leave this god-forsaken place. Then, before we leave, we'll post a link to the next message board we're exploring.

If we meet anyone supercool we'll link them to our forum.

anyone want to riff on this?


what a cool idea. supercool.

I hate that feature myself. Everytime i register a sockpuppet/dual/alt, I have to wait for UT or bruce to notice it, and clear me.
It is the only thing that works for the amount of spammers that come to call though.

How long have you been on safari, Sir John?

::: passes a flask of cellar whiskey:::

How many forums will you visit this trip out?
wolf • Jan 26, 2009 2:36 pm
I hope that the wilds of Darkest Pennsylvania do not prove too much for them. They've already lost their mildly expendable porter, and may need all of their massed strength to confront the dreaded wild beasts that here abound.

I thought that the White Man's Burden was not supposed to include his own luggage?

we are doing back to back safaris this time so some of the blokes will be tired from the travel (bit of whisky hits the spot), we set camp at one tribe of Internet natives at a time and strike out to explore.
this does seem a friendly group i am quite taken with the hospitality and whiskey is always a proper pick me up for an intrepid explorer.

Stopped by natives with shields and spears, no blood drawn, yet.
lumberjim • Jan 26, 2009 4:23 pm
well, when you phrase it 'attempt to flee' it seems like you don't think you'll succeed. anyway, at this point, here around the fire it's much safer than trying to traverse the wild in the dark. You could fall into a pit, or get bit by a snake, or buttfucked in the mouth by Flint if you go out there now.

Sorry, I got a bit lost and then I lost the water bags. I refilled them at the little creek in the jungle... the water was moving, so it's probably good.

Don't mind the color or the chunky bits.

Pip pip, fellows! Quite a lively village this is, what?

Anyone for a bit of egg and toast? I'm famished! However, the good news is that I've managed to retrieve my camera fro Uday. That ruffian was about to pitch it in the river when I caught up to him! I shan't tell you what I had to promise him to get him to turn it over to me, but I'll advise you all to keep a firearm near your cots, if you know what I mean.

What friendly fellows they are here! I've done a bit of scouting and find that this village seems to be extraordinarily altruistic toward one another... rather a trait we could stand to adopt back home, if I do say.
capnhowdy • Jan 26, 2009 5:14 pm

Hallo good Captain! It's a pleasure to meet you! I've been trying to post, but it's most extraordinary... dunno if I'm losing my touch, but I can't see my posts after a moment or so. I'm dearly looking forward to exploring the rest of the village, it looks like rather a charming location.

Classic! These men show signs of the early stages of Beriberi, but they don't need a doctor. They just need a good hearty steak with plenty of iron and B-vitamins. I have ordered the chef to defrost some of our finest, and tonight's feast will include green leafy salads in vinagrette, as well as the mash of root vegetables.

Lasagne & fruit salad is weird, admit it. Partly because it's not even planned.

To be fair, I've never had it. It comes from a Cockney song (ditty) my Grandad used to sing. Apparently it was a popular dish back in them days. But from what I can gather, jam might have refered to chutney (a savoury concoction). I like kippers, but I'd rather have a bloater...

well, they're cured by smoking which does make them drier than regular fish. They're very greasy though, it's best ti grill/broil them (microwave works well too). i've never known anyone to fry kippers, perhaps that's a southerners' thing? Dana? i have some kippers in my freezer. i fear they need rescuing and discarding now, though -the one I defrosted the other day was past it's best :(

Dr Livingstoned's Journal:

Week two:

After passing out due to sunstroke, brought on by being out in the noon day sun, I have awoken to find my good friends and colleagues Sir John & Sir Nigel have found my base camp! It would appear that they were chased out of "Free Thinker" territory by a rabid band of crazed Reptiod worshiping natives. . . I only hope that they have lost the scent.

I rejoice heartily, for to stave off starvation, I had already eaten my boots, three of my toes and my left ear!

With them they are sure to have brought supplies of Tea & kippers. I only hope that there will be jam today ...

I feel, that after I have broke my fast, I will strike out to some of the deeper threads here, to see if I can find any ancient temples, treasures or lost tribes.

My colleagues inform me that the natives seem quite friendly, although, they may be predisposed to cannibalism. Good thing I already ate my pack boy.

Today I found and skinned four monkeys, so as to have some serviceable tea cups to go with poor Yolamba's skull. It's not exactly china, but it is bone.

Only on occasion.

And we usually clearly label our indecencies, so they can be found more easily with the internal search engine.

We are friendly and helpful natives. And we shall ply you with whisky.

Through dangers untold and hardships unnumbered, etc., I have finally reached this camp, too. A little bit later, perhaps, than the more experienced explorers among Dr. Livingstoned's honoured colleagues, but forgive me; I am only a beginner in practicing the fine profession of safaris.

Anyhow, I have been wandering around the places here, and your lands don't seem to be near as horrible as many of the things I have encountered during my journeys. I shall ponder the decision of whether I should run screaming away, frightened by the cannibalism and lack of S&M, back into the jungles, or not.

They have the Internet here? How curious.

Oh, I guess I shall stay, but I need a funney hat too.

Journal Entry, Chaos 27, YOLD 3175:

Mid Morning. Having awoken from my morning meditations, I find that basecamp has been deserted. The Mad Philosopher tribe has retreated into the jungle, and the remains of the campfire flicker in the early morning light. There appears to be the decapitated, barbecued, and picked clean corpse of one of the porters next to the fire-pit. An arrow drawn in the dirt points the way into jungle. I can see by the multiple tracks that not all of our safari had left in that direction. I will set out into the jungle after practicing the sword-forms.

The Tengu are reminding me that today is ChaoSloth, the Sloth Day in the middle of the Season of Chaos. I must remember to practice Slack(Wu Wei), while tracking my party in honor of this Holy Day.

Journal Entry, Chaos 29, YOLD 3175:

Early Evening. I have wandered through this choking jungle for two days since the Safari was scattered near the Mad Philosopher tribe. The calls of the Pterodactyls have been growing nearer, and nearer. I do not know if the Safari was scattered due to yet another Pterodactyl attack, if it was a strategy to avoid their aerial patrols, or if Uday had stampeded the elephants.... again, and the crew are out chasing our luggage... again. There have been faint signs of human activity in the jungle for the last few hours, so I may be approaching another tribe's territory. But why would some-one decapitate four monkeys, and then just leave the bodies to the scavengers? I must press on.

Journal Entry, Chaos 30, YOLD 3175:

Early Afternoon. Astounding! I have followed the tracks in the jungle to a large clearing dominated by an immense spur of rock in the center. There appears to be a large, well weathered, oaken cellar-door inset into the middle of the west face. I will conceal myself in one of the nearby trees and sharpen my blade until I learn more about this interesting feature.

Journal Entry, Chaos 31, YOLD 3175:

Early Morning. I have partially deciphered the runes upon the boundary marker and have used the directions provided to find my way to the local settlements. Upon arriving I have found a small group of our party has made it into this new territory. Basecamp has been established with only one tea related incident. This surely seems a good sign. I have noted which of my fellow explorers have survived the stinking humid trek through the jungle here in my notebook, and will send a report back to the Academy soon.
.....
[Section Torn Out]
.....
Lunch. While sipping brandy with Sir Nigel, one of the natives has approached our camp waving a torn piece of journal paper. It seems someone had approached him near their latrine grounds (and remained anonymous by hiding within the trenches). This nefarious character handed our native friend my list of Safari members... torn from my VERY JOURNAL, and began spouting filthy lies about our people. Horrible accusations of theft, rape and pillaging.

Our native host has told us that he doesn't believe these horrible slanders, as they fly in the face of our behavior while we have been guests here. He seems concerned about what this theft might mean to the relations between our groups. Sir Nigel seems to have calmed the poor fellow's nerves and thanked him for revealing this theft. This development will require quite the deliberation from the Safari. I shall break out the whiskey. [End Journal Entry]
--------------------------------------------

Sir Nigel! [Offeres up a small cup of whiskey.] This recent theft has me suspecting the porters we hired on at the last town.... Or could someone be shadowing the Safari? Could this possibly be one of the Pterodactyls agents? Could they really have caught up to us while most of our party remains scattered in the jungle? How shall we approach this new threat?

It appears I have wandered into your camp by mistake. I hope you don't mind if I stay for a bit, I'm horrendously tired from my last exploit. And I had a slight run-in with a polar bear and a couple of penguins, but that's all sorted now.

So, have you discovered any local places of interest as yet? I understand the locals have a predispostion to rather rudimentary methods of communication, which could prove to be a challenge.
But we shall endure, wot wot!

No penguins in the Arctic, not polar bears in the Antarctic - no wonder he's tired if he's been travelling pole to pole.

I fear we may have to leave this charming locale, soon. The cries of the vicious pterodons draw near. Come, my Safari friends. Let us open the last can of kippers, and break the seal on the last of the scotch. The porters are restless, and we shall be gone within days......
sir john • Feb 1, 2009 11:43 pm
the dreaded pterodactyls!! i will put my kit in order, in case a hasty exit is required. strike my tent porter and make ready for the journey ahead.

Oh. Oh, I see. Running away, eh? You yellow bastards! Come back here and take what's coming to you. I'll bite your legs off!

Well, I fear my stay may have been overly brief, and for that I apologise. I also fear it may have been my arrival that brought these blasted beasts ever closer.

I have been tracking these foul and inhuman creatures for the past 4 months. The hunt has taken me all across these vast lands. However, for the last few weeks, I have begun to postulate that these strange beings may be cleverer than we think. At my last camp point, I began to see the things approaching at night. As they have never even approached me directly before, I was quite frankly terrified. However, they did not actually enter my camp, seemingly afraid of the fire and torches I had cunningly laid out, for that very purpose. At first light they flew off, and I quickly packed up camp and moved out here.

I guess they must have tracked me here, and I fear that they will continue to do so, wherever we move onwards to.

That, however, is out of my control to change. What is in my control to do, is to thank our native guests for their excellent hospitality, and then all that is left to say is a simple, "Toodle Pip!"

What I don't get about kippers is- the people that come to a coffee shop in Northern New Mexico and ask me for them.

Look around. What about this place says we would have kippers? Is it all the burritos and cilaquiles? The coffee maybe? wtf?
The funny part is, the people asking know we don't make it but every time, think we will just for them.

Do any of the waitresses have intimate hygiene problems?

Dr Livingstoned's Journal Day ?

I have awoken, after a binge on the local mushrooms, to find the camp empty.

My head hurts, my trousers were down and I had a ten pound note rolled up behind my left ear and a sore arse ....

Such are the dangers of the jungle.

The tea has been spilled, the supermodels bones picked clean by the dreaded pterodactyls and my splendid skull tea set has been shattered in the disarray.

I fear that, once again, the party has moved on without me.

I shall have to re provision, on tea, muffins, kippers, although, being a dam sight away from New Mexican coffe shops, I am not holding out much hope for obtaining any.

I shall press on duly.

Dr Livingstoned out.
Sundae • Feb 8, 2009 6:33 am
Bye, bye Doctor.
Sorry your lovely teaset was smashed. Not sorry you were ;)

That ten squid was from me, for a taxi home.
Don't say I never buy you anything.
capnhowdy • Feb 8, 2009 10:30 am
Good thing you're not from Georgia, Sundae Girl. Else you may get dissed for such inhospitable comments. Especially since they were so warmly receptive to our adventurers on their site.
