Serpentine's Travel Diary Thingo-Whatsit - Page 8

Serpentine · 04-17-2012, 07:56 AM

That'd be great! I'm going on Thursday. I'm also trying to arrange a go-back-to-Guy's-and-play-lots-of-games thing that afternoon/evening. Guy's willing to drive to Bradford and back once, to pick people up or drop them off or to hang out in Bradford instead.

Dr. Bath · 04-17-2012, 08:04 AM

Dang, I got lectures weekdays. :/

Who is guy and where is he located anyway?

Serpentine · 04-17-2012, 08:08 AM

Evening? Maybe not worth an hour journey, though... Ah well, we can organise something for the weekend too!
Totally Guy, with whom I am staying, lives just outside of Leeds (on the Bradford side).

Weekend would be best for a larger meetup. Thurday I have to be in Bradford for 7pm as I have a rehearsal then.

Serpentine · 04-17-2012, 11:48 AM

Well, wandering around Bradford handing out resumes on Thursday, and playing games at Guys on, say, Saturday (assuming he's okay with that)?

Sounds like a plan!

Serpentine · 04-17-2012, 12:18 PM

Sweet.
Lime, you should come too. Grlump's awesome, he probably won't bite. Dunno about Bath.

CurlyKitGirl · 04-17-2012, 02:23 PM

I've met Bath a couple of times now, and he's not bitten anyone at either of the meetups.
You should be safe, though I can't promise anything.

It's not hard for them to justify it, and at least they aren't making you take an unnecessary trip. After all, if you both tried out, he'd have relevant experience as well as already being trained in their specific procedures. It would be very easy for them to justify choosing him over you

As for Saturday Leeds (it is Leeds I'd be travelling to, right?), outlook is... possible. I'll try to get a handle on things this week, see how my travel options look.

Serpentine · 04-17-2012, 04:46 PM

Yeah, he did specifically mention that the other person's experienced.
You should come! Guy's got a whole stack of awesome games I wanna try playing with more than 2 people...
And yeah, Leeds. If you come by train, you'll get off at... New Pudsey or Bramley? One of those.

Lea Plath · 04-17-2012, 05:59 PM

So here I am! I am up for a meet up, Friday, monday, weekends are all good. I live near Bramley Falls, the kinda Headingly Horeforth Bramley border.

Any objections to me going? And what time/date.

Lea Plath · 04-17-2012, 06:02 PM

And bleh, sorry for double post but my phone doesnt allow editting. I also have munchkin cthulu, which is a laugh to play.

Serpentine · 04-18-2012, 07:45 AM

Oh wow. Good thing I checked whether the forum glitched, cuz it did...

I'd be okay with you coming. Totally Guy gets veto, though, cuz it's his house, and he's seemed a little iffy about having too many people around. But I'll ask!
Hm... I think you might be within walking distance of here

Wanna come over today and watch me apply for jobs?

Regarding general event stuff: what time do you all think is good? Bath in particular, about what time would you be able to arrive?

(also the train stop would be Bramley Station. I just checked)

Depends where and time. If it is in walking distance, I guess, depends how badly work is kicking my ass.

Might be easier if you had a number I could give you a buzz or text on.

Serpentine · 04-18-2012, 07:50 AM

Wait, really? Well not right now, I'm still in my nighty and need to shower... <.<

Well after college and work :P I live on Pollard Lane, by Bramley Falls.

--Lime-- · 04-18-2012, 11:21 AM

I'll be getting a bus in, probably.

Slightly concerned that I haven't seen Guy posting here okaying it all, though...

Serpentine · 04-18-2012, 11:29 AM

He seems fine with it. I just checked that he's alright with Trilby coming.

So, Lime. Between "slim" and "none", what are the chances you happen to be going to York tomorrow morning and so are able to pick up an application form for me? >.<

--Lime-- · 04-18-2012, 11:31 AM

I'll see what I can do.

On MSN, by the way.

Totally Guy · 04-18-2012, 01:26 PM

I'm about, just at work all day. I'm anticipating a few guests this weekend huh...

I don't know whether to prep an rpg or stick to the board variety.

Lea Plath · 04-18-2012, 04:54 PM

Just got back from Guy's. Lovely time, played some board game. Looking forward to seeing you again on sat ^^

Serpentine · 04-18-2012, 05:04 PM

Indeed!

And next time we play, Guy will pay. Oh yes, he will pay =.=

Occasional Sage · 04-18-2012, 09:09 PM

What did you play, and how did Guy earn your ire?

Serpentine · 04-18-2012, 09:10 PM

We played Talisman, and Guy screwed me over a couple of times - most significantly taking away my talisman when I was close to the end.

As in, one step away from winning. We then spent the new few rounds of me trying to run my new character to middle, getting a talismin, and dying just before I could roll to reach the door.

Thufir · 04-19-2012, 09:56 AM

That is how Talisman is supposed to be played. Someone about to reach the middle? Turn them into a frog.

The Succubus · 04-19-2012, 10:23 AM

Yes but that's because you're evil in a very dashing hat, Thufir.

Lea Plath · 04-19-2012, 10:39 AM

Yeah, well, next time I've got a cunning plan. We gang up on guy and cast all our spells on him at once.

Aside from eat a crock of mussels... And a mighty fine crock it was, too.

We.... almost bought you some books in Waterstones, almost bought you some awesome cheap shoes in TK Maxx, and almost had my backpack blown up by the security people. And saw Chronicles. Having failed to coax Dvil out of hiding to see The Woman In White with us. And talked about stuff. It was a good day :)

Serpentine · 04-20-2012, 05:35 AM

Ah yeah, Chronicle. (And it's Woman in Black

)

Sounds good to me.

So, just to finalise: Tomorrow (Saturday) at around 1ish, Dr Bath, GrlumpTheElder, Trilby and Lime are gonna come to Guy's place in Bramley. If you turn up at Bramley Station (I think most of the buses stop near there, too), one of us will go get you.
Yay :3
