Did I tell you guys the story about the RL Tunnel Snakes? I can't remember.

Depending on your location, one of them may have been me.

>>16949866
nnever heard it.

I am positive I heard someone say that phrase here like two or three weeks ago, but go ahead, please.

A drunk guy tried mugging me a few weeks back, but I managed to talk him out of it.

ITT: stories of daily life in aberystwyth

I stepped outside for a cigarette and seriously five fucking snakes fell on top of me at the same time.

I had a lovely chat with my snake-owning neighbor upstairs about the incident.

LARPers need booze

>>16949883
So after about two days at a Fallout LARP, I decided I was really hungry for food other than pretzels and freeze-dried ice cream (Both of which I can get at a great price from a store near my house). After asking around, I discovered that there was a somewhat infamous diner nearby, where people of ill repute tended to gather. I decided to take my chances, and, with some other LARPers in tow, left to get a Reuben.

We arrived at the diner soon enough, and parked opposite a dozen or so motorcycles, careful not to knock any of them over. Myself, two Vault Dwellers, and three Raiders entered the restaurant and sat down in a corner. The stares of the other patrons went unnoticed by the others, but I was well aware of the danger. The choppers out front clearly belonged to the leather-jacket wearing bikers sitting across from us, and I was certain that the skinny college kid in blue spandex would attract their ire.

Soon enough, College Kid spotted the bikers. His eyes met with their apparent leader's, and, for a brief moment, the bikers fell silent. Then the college kid grinned, and looked away, coughing something about the bikers under his breath. To this day, I don't know what it was, but it set them off.

All the bikers got up at once, and approached. Armed with only a plastic plasma rifle that fired beanbags, I knew I would be unable to defend the Vault Dweller from their wrath. So I stood idly by, and watched them pull him to his feet. Pushing College Boy against the wall, their leader spoke.

"Tunnel Snakes Rule."

With that, they left, paying for their food and riding away into the sunset.

reminds me of something that happened to me

I was repairing a friend's air rifle in the kitchen which faces my main door.
Door breaks open and some masked dude stands in the hallway.
He sees the gun in my lap and closes the door.

Funny thing is you can't even kill a pidgeon with it, let alone that it wasn't even loaded.

Cool story, bro.

Alright, I'll bite. My story is somewhat more /x/ worthy, but seing that /x/ is a shithole, here it is.

>Be nine

>The door opens and out comes a really old lady wearing a long black dress. She somehow had golden hair flowing down to her waist and she was wearing those fucking huge, black sunglasses (she was wearing sunglasses inside her room!)
>She starts yelling some shit about how we should go kick the ball somewhere else, how we are spoiled brats etc and goes back inside muttering to herself.
>We dismiss it as typical old lady behavior but decide to stop playing ball anyway (besides, that hag was really scary looking and we didn't want to get into trouble)
>A minute or so later, we go by the pool, which is at the other side of the resort; the weather wasn't warm enough yet so it was empty (both of water and people)
>We start chasing each other around the pool.
>I trip on an iron tube jutting from the ground , in which they put umbrellas during summer, and slam full force onto the next one.

Then you know, the usual shit, blurred vision, immense pain, not being able to breathe for some time but then...
>I turn around

>My parents and my friend's parents rush to help me.
>I look back up, old lady is gone
>3 fractured ribs, vacations ruined, old bitch completely burned in my mind.

>>16950270
Poor ghost lady. She probably thought she had a new friend to haunt the resort with, but you had to go and ruin it by not dying from your injuries.

>>16949973
Wait, wait. I think your notation is off. Surely it effects 1 cubic foot, not 1 cubic inch, at a range of three feet?

Where about are you fellow Aberytwyth bro?

DUDES! Listen. This thread is its own Universe! Can you imagine that! And in this universe all this random encounters is a FUCKING REAL THING as it happens all the time. E.G in Op's example the weird thing that happens in the Thread universe is normal while a story about a guy walking into a bar and to drinks beer is the weird encounter! GUYS IF YOU REALIZE THAT THIS THREAD WILL DIE! BECAUSE WE WILL ALL POST ACTUAL ENCOUNTERS! TURN THIS ON INTO IT SO THAT WE CAN FUCK THE OTHER UNIVERSE!

>>16950489
What flavor were the pop tarts?

>>16950405
Did you...
Fight some more indians with her, if you know what I mean?

>>16950478

So what're you supposed to do at a 'penis' sign?

>>16950508
Well I know what you would do if it was a Penis X-ing sign, but.

God, I wish this was my story...

>>16950469

> UPS delivery
> not brush the door with a feather then go back to the truck

I'm calling bullshit.

I'm pretty sure I encountered the Flying Dutchman once IRL.

And I got chased by a barghest.

I still have trouble believing it, despite it actually happening. Weird shit just seems to happen to me despite being a complete sceptic. Really really weird shit.

>>16950540
We're not allowed to do that at apartment complexes unless we can get in the front door and leave it in front of the specific apartment it was sent to. We're also not allowed to do it with packages that are obviously electronics, or in areas with a record of package theft occurring.

In all other cases, yes, we can just leave it at the door, breathe heavily in the general direction of the doorbell, and start running back to the truck because I have 260 more deliveries to do in the next 4 hours.

I never told anyone about it. Honestly, it was just so fucking weird and terrifying I didn't want to experience it again by remembering it.

Ah. I know where Winterhaven is. I'm farther north than that. It was probably Ne-Pagans. We get a lot of those here.

I was cracked out of my mind on caffeine at the time and didn't really understand what was going on until the Ocelot-guy showed up and did pretty much the same thing.

If not for the older guy playing it subtle, though, I'd have thought they were a pair of goofballs. The younger one got his ramen and did the hand gesture at the end of the aisle before disappearing into the early morning.

Still not sure what to think of the event, though. I don't remember any kind of anime convention going on in the area.

>>16951599
>see her getting strap-on banged by a chick who's dressed like an elk

fix'd that for YOU.

I've told my stories here before about the time I was hit buy a car and the pizza I was delivering was stolen as I hid under their car and the time I was mugged and the mugger ended up giving ME $4 but I was told several times my stories were a bit longwinded so I'll just let you guys imagine the scenarios.

>>16951585
It is. I tend to understate.

I still want to check up on her at some point, but she has absolutely no means of contact besides her phone number, which I've forgotten, and actually going to her door. It's like she lives in an underground military bunker. Or a camp in the middle of the woods, I suppose.

>>16951551
Don't I know it. Never got that close to her but she seemed like the type that would fuck like a tiger.

Dammit, /tg/, now I'm all wistful. I hope you're happy.

>>16951632

MARRY HER!!!

Well they had to stop giving away candy from the back of vans, so it was the next logical step.

We have an old guy who dresses kind of like Harry Dresden. He has a cane with a silver skull, not a neat walking stick, but otherwise, it's basically the same outfit.

You also sometimes run into things like the local engineering school's all terrain thingamajig, another old guy in our town who is like the Walkin Dude from the stand (but with a set of little drums he plays and does a strange little Cossack dance with).

Oh, and Mennonites. They live in Modoc county, and come here to shop.It's weird, you are just walking around the Supermarket or whatever, and you round a corner and see some thin middle aged woman and her children in 19th century looking clothes and bonnets and such, pushing a shopping cart.

(This is to say nothing of the oddness one can encounter with the local tribes. They are often relatively normal. But sometimes you see guys riding horses in buckskins or wearing some nutty hat that wouldn't look out of place on a colorful extra in a bad western, strutting around with antler handled knives in beaded sheathes, and wearing a lot of feathers and beads generally.)

I used to live with a Ukrainian gentleman who was a generator of awesome. One day we accidentally became a random encounter, once he reversed a mugging, twice stood down towering odds of violence, and then there’s the vodka. But the stories aren’t typed out, which does tg want first?

>>16952047
Don't, actually. Real milk is actually fairly bad for cats in large quantities. Particularly if they're getting it frequently.

>>16952197

How did you two meet?

>>16952158
I'd be scared that a member of the Ordos Chronos was walking around the 21st century selecting who the future neophyte's are going to be.
So either your gene's are damn good... or he may have been crazy.

>>16952197
>reversed a mugging
As in, he robbed mugger?
If so, I'd like to hear about that.

>>16952202 There was a house near campus with three roommates that needed a fourth. I was four. Vadim was not a student. Not of any college anyway. I still have no idea what he did for a living.
>>16952197 Ok, I’ll do that one next… I typed up the thread relevant one first.
The gentleman’s name was Vadim. Vadim was a renaissance man. He was masterful at chess, brilliant at guitar, owned two rats with large testicals, and knew more about life than most ever will. “I can’t teach you how to play guitar, I can only teach you how “I” play guitar.”

The accidental random encounter was when once, after a robust night of drinking, we were invited to the house of the random group we joined. We continued drinking and enjoying ourselves. At the end of the evening, we were invited to come back the next night for a party they were throwing. We were given the impression they might dress up, so we put on our finest suits. Mine was a sharp pinstriped number, and we went over.
The house was deader than dead. I looked into the window after a soft knock, and saw one guy playing bongos in the living room, alone. So, all dressed up, we went to the bar. Vadim, in addition to playing piano, can also play pool. We chose to splurge on some brandy at a cigar bar with a nice room with a table. We smoked, drank and Vadim played. He preferred playing alone and I was cool with it, since I knew I sucked. And as I sat back, I realized that we looked classic mafia as heck. He was beating down every challenger like nothing, and I was just sitting back, nursing my drink coolly, and watching the room. We got eyed quite a bit. Vadim never notice and got a kick out of it when I told him.

Me and my mates were the random encounter for a heap of people the other week.

>Dress up party
>Me (Julius Caesar) and two mates (Duff Man and level 1 skeleton minion) go on a maccas run at 9 pm
>Maccas is full of people
>Guy at counter can't keep a straight face

>I tell him, not sure what's going on
>He says "Damn, then I'm already three days late! Thank you very much Miss."
>He digs his spurs into his horse while yelling "COME ON LITTLE BROTHER, LET'S RIDE!!!"
>Rides off at a full galop down the street
>mfw

>>16951751

Dude... Awesome


I personally would like to join you if you ever go on an adventure to get your whole clan together.

>>16952259

Now that I’m typing this, I realized I misspoke. It was more an insistent panhandling that got reversed. Still damn funny.
So Vadim and I and several others were out at the local bar till closing time. As we were walking back from the bar, Vadim was in a bad mood because (I think) the bouncer wouldn’t let him back in after he stepped outside to smoke. So as we walked, the guy comes up to us as a group and urgently asked for money. No “please”, just “can you gimmie a dollar or a cigarette?” Vadim flips out. He started shouting “Give you a dollar?! Give you a dollar?! FUCK YOU!!! Give ME a dollar!” He then started grabing at the guy’s coat as most of our group struggled to stop him. Having been in a similar situation once, I ran to get my car. I was not going to reason with an angry drunken Ukrainian. I pulled up, and they got Vadim in the car and I sped off as the guy was laughing on the sidewalk…
…As it turned out, Vadim knew the guy. He had chatted with him on street many, many times. And had given the man the equivalent of several packs of cigarettes over the months.

So the guy gave him a twenty before I pulled up and my friends dragged him in the car.

More Vadim stories for those who want ‘em.

The violence stories are basically two different house parties. One they were jerks and the whole house was on the side of one vocal jerk… versus me, my sloppy drunken friend, and Vadim. But the guy was a poser and Vadim called him on it. As we were leaving the guy said, “You have till I count to ten to leave.” Then the idiot started counting. Some might not get that right away but Vadim saw through him instantly. “Why count? Just go. Come on… why are you still counting? Start already.” I started the car and my drunk friend actually pulled him in and I sped off with the door open. I am sure that other guy would not have won, but police reports are best avoided in my opinion.

The other time, a few party crashers brought a 5 foot tall, 350 pound wall of muscle that wanted to start a fight. And Vadim wasn’t scared. We did everything to pacify this guy, but what he wanted was someone to hit. And Vadim, a thin, wiry, martially trained Ukrainian was willing to step up to the chump. I stepped in to save my friends furniture. I stared the ranting fool down with a big shteating grin on my face until I had his full attention. Then I just stood there and refused give him a reason. He wanted to be provoked so he could feel righteous. Unlike Vadim, I let him say and command, and push, without escalating. Then his friends convinced him we had called the police, and they left.

And finally, the vodka was Devil Springs, 160 proof. I had a huge bottle of it for over a year and only drank a quarter of it. Vadim asked if he could have some, and I said sure. He told me it tasted just like the vodka he used to make. So I let him and his fellow Ukrainian friend drink it as much as they liked. It was gone two months later. On one such night, it was Man’s Day apparently; they invited me to do shots to celebrate. The next thing I knew I awoke the next night at 5pm. I was absolutely fine, proving that vodka for some unknown reason, does not give me hangovers. I took a shower, checked for bruises or other signs of fall, still fine. I came downstairs and the two are there again, cooking. Vadim asks if we are ok, and explains that apparently, I took offense to something he said and we “fought.” i.e.: I lunged, he took me down, and I went upstairs to sleep it off. I said all was forgotten and we were good.
BTW: Devils Springs burns, but never light a shot on fire, the glass cracks when you blow it out.
Needless to say, when I saw the Sopranos episode where they tried to kill a Ukrainian, I predicted what would happen pretty well.

I don't see what's so strange about that.

Someone probably got their ass kicked that night, but it wasn't me

>>16952858
That can happen if you don't turn it back all the way before taking the keys out, actually.

>>16952858

You weren't armed though, and alone.

Beta testing a game for a club in college
The rules are simple a person from the defending team must live to the time limit or kill all attackers and stay within the zone. Defenders get a minute prep time.
The match starts and its 5v5. I being a 6'1" man with short hair and stuble immediately run to the farthest corner of the zone. I then begin to strip down to my boxers in the middle of campus, while it is sleeting out, and put on a black miniskirt, black shirt, and heels. I then pick up a purse and a book to read (it was a book for english class, which is funny that this is the only time i ever used it) and proceed back towards the start. The opposing team handles the other 4 members of my team and are walking straight at me on the sidewalk. I pull the book towards my face and look straight down... they (all 5 remaining) walk past me. I then sit within eyeshot of the judge and my fallen comrades, on a bench, while its sleeting, in a miniskirt, reading a book that i now realize is upside down. There team continue to search for me and are walking past me more than 2x a minute. Finally the time is up and with one of their members standing next to me the judge calls out "games over". I proceed to stand up and shout "suck it" as the person next to me's face turns into that of utmost horror.

sounds like they were dressed as Aimless Renegade. a character from homestuck.

>>16953300
I have fortunately never actually seen someone cosplay a character from a webcomic outside of a convention. Hopefully she was going to a con and not going grocery shopping or something.

However, I've gone to brunch at Country Cookin' wearing a tuxedo more than once, simply because it was hilarious. Does that count as cosplaying?

>>16953308
Not unless you claim to be dressed as somebody

>>16953308
My buddy once saw a woman wearing a wedding dress to walmart once. It's on that people of walmart website now.

>>16953300
>>16953308
Or she was dressing up as Lady Ga Ga. Which is MUCH more likely.

>>16953438
That would have been a bad idea.

There is the Klan around here and let me assure you, those guys do not fucking play. They might not be as powerful as they were before but every five to ten years or so there will be a white woman raped and a few days later some black guy will be found having been drug to death behind a pickup for ~50 miles. And the police just shrug and push paper until the news forgets about it.

I also have a reliable source that informs me several of the Klan sects or cells or whatever they call themselves in the area have a stock of automatic weapons.

Long story short? When it comes to the Klan don't.

Just don't.

From the third person perspective:

>>16953438
>>16953454
Yeah, my grandpa was in the Klan (Until he voted for Obama and quit, go figure)
His AK-47 was so much fun to shoot. I was never invited to any rally, and he wouldn't take anyone but Grandma anyway. My cousin got his Hood after he died.

> black guy will be found having been drug to death behind a pickup for ~50 miles.

Why do so many Americans use drug instead of dragged? That isn't the correct American English term, is it?

>>16953497

I dunno, "having been drug" flows well to me. Drop the "having been" and I'd change it to "dragged" though.

>>16953497
Because it has less letters and most of us are lazy fucks.

>>16952375
In some parts of the world, people still ride horses to get places. I was given to understand that in Texas most cowboys are actually town folk playing pretend, but there could be some real ones left.

>>16953492
I didn't know Big Black was living in Sacramento now.

>>16953497
People often say "drug" in spoken language, but not usually in written language. Sort of like how they say "sherbert" or "would of."

>>16953497
There are two separate verbs, "drag" and "drug", meaning the same thing. The first is the one that we know and love (drag, dragged, dragged), the second is technically "obsolete" in modern language except for in certain dialects. But you know how regional variations can change things, especially in such an already bastardized language like English.

>>16952375
What I read:
>"Excuse me Miss, but I was hoping I could ask for a date from you?"
And was like "why would you say anything but yes?"

>>16953497
Southern thing.
"Me and my buddy Keith, we drug a gall'n of gas almost two miles just cause we could."

>Chef laughs as well, says something in Japanese, and tosses him a small bottle
>Homeless guy bows and leaves

I've lived in Sacramento off and on for a few years now, and I have yet to figure out how the hell this city works.

Entertainers in California are fucking bizarre.

Wasn't there a story about how some WW2 re-enactors got captured by some LARPs so they had to get rescued by a bunch of wehrmacht soldiers attacking a LARP base camp?

>>16953497
They're both correct, they're used in different situations. There's some overlap, though, and which you use when is sort of a regional thing.

That's English for you. Just use "dragged" always and you'll be fine.

Picture related, moments after that. I make sure to come back home and visit that crazy bastard at least once a week.

Hell, I've got more stories is anyone is privy.

I've seen those in Cologne before. Never seen one in SF despite going there way more often. I do regularly see a guy wearing a sparkle suit, and I once saw a bunch of dudes in drag with veils and harlequin makeup. But they were at fairs.

That statue is pretty much the least bizarre thing in the parts of CA that aren't holes in the ground. Have you been attacked by a hobo disguised as a bush who makes tens of thousands of dollars per year by being a professional crazy attack hobo disguised as a bush? Have you encountered Pink Umbrella Man? Or gangs from The Warriors, for that matter.

>>16953752
The fuck? How are there even different past tenses so that applies?

>>16953803
It's sort of hard to explain. It's like sink/sank/sunk or think/thought/thunk

This anon here. I remembered another story from the same town.

I was walking around in a different patch of woods a good ways away from my neighborhood, taking some pictures for my on-and-off photography hobby, when I came across this thing. I stared, took a picture, and kept walking.

There are no buildings, residential or otherwise, for about half a mile around this.

>Haven't had 'em for a while.
Suppose it's fine that I left, then.

>>16954069
They stopped because you left. They were doing it to make you happy. They were crushed when you left them.

I haven't really seen many odd things. A while ago I saw a guy dressed up as the devil walk past me, which wouldn't have been odd if it weren't 2 months before Halloween and almost half a year since there was a con or something. Ques somebody was having a costume party.

I've probably caused some random encounters myself, since whenever there's a con I walk form my home to the bus station while wearing my costume (most of the time I've dressed up as a comissar, but next year I think I'll make a cultist costume). And a few weeks ago some of my friends stood outside the door of the university clubhouse wearing traditional Japanese clothes and bowing to people who entered.

Thanks for the response, but it turned out not to be that game. The one I'm thinking of has a cleric that's more covered in armor I think. The search continues...

You're lucky you went inside. The creaking trampoline was making irresistible dog mating calls. They were coming for you.

Dude was completely lucid and very well-spoken. He'd just decided, fuckit, modern life is shit, or something.

Here's my first story-worthy one:

Now this takes place in a country were I don't even speak the language (Czech Republic) and english-speaking isn't that spread out.
>Guy speaks perfect english
>Explains that it's not a costume, he works as a blacksmith and just got off work
>Out of fucking nowhere an old lady comes up and smacks me with an umbrella across my back (remember my size?)
>Starts rambling in czech
>Guy translates
Czech people don't celebrate halloween and she thought my clothing was indecent, with the kilt and all.
>Chat with guy for a while on tram, invite him to club since he's a cool guy in general, tell him he doesn't even need to get changed
>Random guy on tram sparks up a conversation
>He smells funny, eyes are blood-shot
>Says he's Irish and comes from a long family of farmers
>He's apparently an architect and keeps rambling on about his job.
>Go to club with random blacksmith, get quite drunk, have an awesome night, come home at four in the morning, toss claymore from balcony

Doesn't count for much I guess but it was a rather eventful night.

>>16949908
ah Toronto.
My roommate is the cause of the "no fake firearms of ANY kind" at Sennica/York.
- Although the cop that wrote up the call wrote it up as "Zombie attack with complications"

So... bus is doing a short turn due to commotion past the intersection.
My girlfriend and I get off and walk towards home.
Up ahead are 4 cruisers, a firetruck, a fire department van and lots of police tape and some portable barricades. Inside the tape are firedudes in full kit (including having respirators on) as well as 4 guys wearing hazmat suits.
They are just sort of standing around and occasionally poking the mailbox for the apartment there. The ground around the mailbox in a pool of milky liquid. Take a few pics. - they don't seem to care.
Later there is NOTHING on the news and when I call information for the area police dept they say nothing of the sort happened that day. - but I have pics.

- wat?

>>16955264
>have pics
upload them, if nothing else we can be having conspiracy theory time

>>16955233
as soon as i saw "czech republic" everything made sense

2 years ago at a film festival..
I had gone with a friend and we were in line.
(I had fooled around a few times and had some hopes in the romance dept.)
Old lady in red winter coat with black fake fur (it was August) stumbles out of the falafel place talking to herself. She sort of re-orients and then heads straight for me. She grabs me by the shoulders.
"You will never be together. She's just wrong."
and stumbles off.
My friend had heard her say *something* but for some reason couldn't make out the words.
(her description of the event sounded a bit off as well.) The next year and a 1/2 with this girl are a train wreck... for a lot of reasons a lot of them being my friend being.. well "just wrong" .
It made me really value another close friend even more though and we are going out.
I dunno if it was a curse or just perception.

>>16955297
on my girlfriends computer.
if the thread is around this afternoon I'll try and get.

I met General Martok at Subway last week.

No, I mean the actual General Martok. In costume. J.G. Hertzler. There was a con going on in my city and he was a guest.

Not sure if this can be described as a random encounter, but it felt quite odd.
>Living in Armidale, a medium (for Australia) sized town
>Week night, sitting on the computer doing graphic design assignments at about 3 am
>Hear a dog nearby start howling, then another and another
>Sounds like every dog in the town is losing it's shit
>Lights dim slightly and I hear a roar that literally shakes the house
>Stare hard at the ceiling for a few minutes, trying to figure out if it happened or not
>Move a year later, never hear anything like it again

>>16955375

If it's Australia then it doesn't count as random encounter

>Hear awesome random encounter stores in /tg/
>Nothing awesome like this has ever happened to me
>Vow to change this
>Start exploring the city whenever not otherwise occupied, taking long walks to nowhere in particular at all hours of the day and night
>nothing yet
Damn. This place is boring for a college town.

>New vow. BE a random encounter.
>Not quite sure how.

>>16955449
Dude, it's RANDOM. You can't control it and you shouldn't try to.

>>16955297
It's not always like this though. This was the first time I've had an experience worth sharing.
Decent country tbh, apart from the racism.

I got one.

>Bunch of kids in our neighbourhood are all friends. We run around together building forts, having water balloon fights, ect.
>Our main fort is at the entrance to a lot which leads further into the woods. We decide to map the wilderness.
>One knife, ball of yarn, one bottle of water for seven of us.
>itsgotime.jpg
>After two hours of travel, we stumble upon it.
>A huge, lush, verdent field of the most golden and soft grain ever known. Vines hang in careless swaying forms from the trees. In this clearing, the sky opens up as bright as the brightest day, contrasting starkly from the dark of the forest.
>Don't even remember how much time we spent there. Laying in soft grain, drinking from a large pool of the clearest, tastiest water ever drank by seven stupid kids, hanging off the huge and ancient tree branches that hung over the field.
>Sad to leave for some reason.
>GoogleMaps many years later. No fucking field.

>>16955661
>Google maps
There's your problem. According to google maps, I don't have a fucking house.

also take into account 'many years later'

development is a bitch

>>16955375

Way to freak me out man. I'm in Armidale right now.

This happened 3 weeks ago.

>Walking down Royal Street heading back to where my car is parked just after dark
>Jackass in Mercedes has his headlights shining in my face
>Suddenly, out of nowhere three guys run out of an alleyway and start beating on the Mercedes hood, chanting weird tribal shit.
>All of them are wearing shirts and vests, but are fucking absolutely bare below the waist
>All are wearing creepily old looking voodoo masks
>After putting about $2000 worth of dings into the guys car, they run screaming into the night past me.
>One stops and hands me a small box.
>"Da boss man says we be even"
>Open it, it's full of tiny jewels. Real fucking jewels. Had them checked out by a jeweler last week.
>Runs after his friends and disappears into a dark alley, dick slapping against his thighs.


Fucking Halloween weekend in New Orleans man.

>>16956169
As a resident of southern Louisiana, this seems possible. New Orleans gets strange around Halloween.

>>16956187

That's because it's true...

>>16956226
Dat cat's eye.

>>16955200
Who's the guy taken the hit out with? Do you know the fellows assigned to kill you? Can you take them?
It might be wise to show this ex of hers why not to do things like that.

>>16955304
Make a new thread if you need to.

>>16955449
Being a random encounter is easy. Keep doing that "exploring" thing, but do it in a silly outfit, and say unusual things when you meet people.

>>16955233
Oh, man, I know this guy. He opens up smithery shop right on Wenceslas square on most holidays.

>>16955449
To be a random encounter
1: strange clothing (thrift stores/garage sales are great for this)
2: Be out and about at strange hours, stick to the side streets, make your own path on wooded areas.
3: Memorize/learn some profound/random statements.
4: Give people great stories to tell to their friends.

I can say I've been a random encounter more times then I can count, but I also have a pile of old costumes and live in a college town. Had fun once walking around in my penguin costume with a watermelon. Acting like the mellon was an egg. Also dressed as Santa on Halloween passing out Christmas cheer and candy canes.

First time getting questioned by college cops, 3 of us dressed as pirates riding in/pushing our shopping cart pirate ship around.

One time had me dressed as barney rubble, my buddy dressed as fred flintstone and his gf dressed as a a box of Pebbles get questioned by college cops when we were chasing her around campus.

>Walking out of coffee shop after getting my drink
>One of those religious convert everyone guys is talking to a group of girls about his awesome religion
>Hear one say "I'm not religious but I'm spiritual" (people actually say this?)
>Turn to her and ask "Have you accepted Roboute Guilliman as your spiritual liege" and walk out

be about 13 years old.
going to the cinema with friends
on stairs up to street from trainstation
random viking (with runes tattoed on arms and face and full battle dress, even traditionel viking haircut) grabs me by the shoulder points behind me at my at that time sweetheart, and says that girl is goodlooking i will ask Odin for your succses in laying with her
afterwards he just turns around and walks away without a word... i did get to lay with her the folowing night

>>16957599
>tattoos
>traditional viking
but they look cool so I''m chill

I have this idea

To gather a group and turn ourselves into a viking warband

With shields made of kevlar and traditional viking battledress, we'll wander throughout the city performing acts of justice and protecting the rights of the innocent

>mfw

>>16957855
>With shields made of kevlar
This is stupid. Traditional vikings didn't make their shields out of chainmail, why would you make yours out of kevlar?

>>16957872
I agree. Make them out of steel instead.

>>16957872

because wood or chainmail can't stop boolits, still a stupid idea

>>16957880
Should be made of whatever the fuck riot shields are made of.

>>16957855
>walking around, minding own business
>hear woman screaming down road
>being assaulted by two dudes
>see van haul ass around corner
>back doors open and a group of vikings come out screaming
>guys gets beaten half to death by angry nords
I WANT THIS TO HAPPEN

Random encounter? Being one, got that.

Couple of college kids decided that it'd be fun to blow up mailboxes on our street with M-80's and such.

Neighborhood kids decided after about half a dozen wakeup calls at 3AM, this had to stop. One of them was our "arms dealer"- his family always drove down to the Carolinas and came back with all kinds of fun stuff we usually used to blow up GI JOE tanks and such.

Cue mass "campout/sleepover". Parents all down street happy we all get along. Set up shop and prepare. Sure enough, around 3 AM, car comes down street with lights off, three college guys inside.

>>16958093

Three guys get out of car, start stringing up a bank of mailboxes with a long fuse. We light up a few punks, pass them around, and open up just as they're getting ready to light the fuse and drive off.

Firecrackers lobbed by slingshots. Bottle rockets, Roman candles, those little rocket batteries that pop off like strobes when they hit their limit, covering them and the car in a hail of pyrotechnic fire.

They freak out, pile in the car, hit reverse just as a dozen mini-rockets strobe on the front window and an M-60 blows off a windshield wiper, smack the car into the curb and stall.

We continue to light the place up, punctuated by a stray shot setting off their little prank and spraying plastic shrapnel into all directions, including the front of their car. Then someone bloops a roman candle ball right into a window. Into the back seat. Where it lights the foam on fire just as they get the car started and peel out, thick black smoke gushing from the rear windows.

We follow, leaving our weapons behind on dirt bikes and skateboards. The police find us half a mile down the road, watching the car burn down to the tires. We explain that we heard a big bang while camping and saw the car streak off on fire...and the box full of detonated and rather illegal junk in what used to be the trunk confirms that once they put it out. Plates tracked to local college, guy gets busted for having a few crates of illegal fireworks, vandalism and abandoning the scene.

Officially, it was three college kids pulling stupid shit and fucking up with fireworks. We know better.
