waiting for tomorrow...
i got woken up by Peter this morning. There was a lot of noise coming from outside my room, and it surprised me because i forgot we were invading the factory, and thought maybe Roger was kicking me out. That's happened before, me getting kicked out of places i lived in for no real reason. One of my girlfriend's even kicked me out of my own house once, and then locked herself in it. I had to get the police to come and everything.
Peter shouted 'Get up boy! Today's the big day! We're hitting that factory hard and we're hitting it fast! We'll be a three man tornado filled with dynamite and the factory will be the poor guy whose stomach we are erupting from! HOOO WEEE!!! I haven't felt like this since we blew up those invisible tanks in that invisible factory hidden in that peculiar empty field! Are you listening yet!? Get up boy!' And then Roger ran in wearing a curtain as a cape and he was carrying this big old elephant gun and he said 'Damn it Peter! I told you not to wake the muffin bot! Well, nothing we can do about it now. Give him the electric power slap 3000 and come over here and help me get your cape ready!'
So we got to the factory, all of us dressed in curtains and old stackhat bike helmets and i was given an old spatula (a really big one) as a weapon because Roger didn't trust me. Roger carried his old elephant gun and Peter had two water pistols filled with a substance he called 'instant kill juice super acid', which he said would send people packing quicker than people forget the villainy that slaps them in the face every day of every week of every year. We all looked at the factory from the top of a small hill and Roger said 'you go in first, muffin bot boy, they know you,' and i said 'but they'll know something's up the minute they see my helmet and maxi safe cape,' and Roger said 'that's why you'll go invisible the moment they think something's wrong. Duh! Now get in their, quick, and remember the signal!'
As it turned out, i didn't need to use the signal (three quick waves followed by me spreading my arms out like wings, and then a squat and then a 'Hey Hoooooooooo!'), because there was no one in the factory. We all wandered the first floor a little confused. The elvators weren't working anymore, so i couldn't go down to the dorms, and to be honest, it looked like they would not work then or ever. It was like the whole place had been abandoned in a single evening, and all that remained were a few dusty tables and some triangles sitting on top of them. Peter said he had heard of this happening before, giant teleporters sending people from factory to factory the moment they knew an attack was coming, and then Roger noticed reinforcements had arrived, in the form of a black cat. He ran over to it and said 'Any news to report?' then turned to Peter and said 'calibrations must be off' and then turned back to the cat and shouted 'ANY. NEWS. TO REPORT?!' We all left a little dejected when we realised nothing was going to happen.
I found a note on my way out though, and it said 'please meet me at the bar tomorrow night', but it looked kind of old, so i couldn't tell whether it was for me or for someone a long time ago who i didn't know. In any case, i thought it might be a good idea to go to the bar anyway, to see if any of the workers showed up. I would hate to think that Lanks and Grung left before saying anything to me, but i feel confident that if they did they would have had good reasons, because they seemed like good people.
Roger thinks the teleporter idea is rubbish, and that the factory workers were all turned to dust instantly, which is why the place looked so old. I thought it was a little gross that i was breathing in Sumael and Lanks and Grung, but i didn't say anything.
So i guess maybe sunday will be my last day here, and then i will head off to wherever it is i might be headed to.
Fingers crossed for tomorrow.
Blake out.
PS. fifteen chin ups this morning, but i felt a little slack about them.
