The best Kingdom of Loathing quest EVER: 

Ah, good, just the Adventurer we wanted to see. We expect that, by now, you've noticed all the temporal rifts popping up around the Kingdom. Well, in our historical archive, we found an old medical journal dating back to the Cola Wars. Apparently, many soldiers on both sides of the war were infected by a mysterious plague, contracted from some of the many unexpected reinforcements that joined the two armies during the battle for the Nearby Plains. The symptoms described sound eerily similar to the plague that's been infecting our population in the present time.

The bad news is: the journal says that, left uncured, the Gray Plague turns those infected with it into mindless, slavering zombies. The good news is: the military doctors were able to formulate a vaccine for the Gray Plague. The other bad news is: the primary ingredient for the cure is a certain gland found in the heads of the aforementioned zombies.

However, we've been able to come up with a solution. Don't ask how, but we've managed to create a rift that leads to a temporal location of our choosing, to wit: the Seaside Town, 28 days from now, after the entire population of the Kingdom has transformed into zombies. We need you to travel there and collect the ingredients for the cure, and then bring them back to the current time so that we can figure out how to immunize the citizens of Loathing against the infection.

Oh, and don't try to leave the town while you're in the future, as the rest of the Kingdom is highly radioactive. Apparently, one of us decided -- um, decides? Will be going to decide? -- that nuking the Kingdom from orbit would be the only way to be sure. It probably will have sounded like a good idea at the time.

...doesn't that imply you failed?

Well aren't we into the Chicago chocolates. Vosges is quite lovely, when I lived in Vegas I used to make detours there anytime I was near the Forum Shops. These people have balls, I'll admit, I never would've considered putting wasabi into chocolate. They taste really interesting in a good way, but I'd take Godivas over them any day. The only reason they're so expensive is because they're super chic fashion chocolate. But I will say they are by far the SMOOTHEST chocolate I have ever had!

Well aren't we into the Chicago chocolates.

haha. That's exactly what I thought! I found Moonstruck by a complete accident and have since become addicted to their Mexican Hot Chocolate and Vosges just opened (re-opened) next to the CBA! But really, when a bar of chocolate costs the same amount as a whole meal at the CBA, I really have to think about going.

[identity profile] cleolinda.livejournal.com 2005-11-04 08:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Heh, I didn't even know they were both in Chicago--I heard about Vosges a long time ago and like to check in to see what craziness they've come up with next, and someone rec'd Moonstruck the other day.

Haha, the sex fossils amuse me.

I'm finding it hard to process that Freund was a poster on Something Awful and stuff - it certainly puts online activity in perspective...

My parents sent me that Thanksgiving thing a few days ago - so funny!

Do not actually buy chocolate and mail it to me.
What, not even the yummy chocolate from Monmouth Candies?

They used to have a Moonstruck in Bloomington - that place was soooo good, I was extremely sad when it closed.

Well, one time I said "I want cake," like, "I should go bake one," and people were like, "I CAN SEND YOU SOME!!" I just didn't want it to sound like I was fishing for presents--hence, "entertainment purposes only." I.e., "Hey guys, look at this!"

I just read a bad review of your book in Total Film magazine- even though I haven't read the book yet, they were claiming they were funnier, and they're...not. To put it mildly.

Bah.

It did remind me to get the book next time I'm in a bookstore, though...

[identity profile] cleolinda.livejournal.com 2005-11-05 06:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Wow, a bad review in Total Film? That sucks. I mean, just in sheer terms of exposure, that sucks. Ah well. Maybe with any luck people will see it in stores and pick it up anyway, out of curiosity, and go, "Hey! They were totally wrong!"

Hey, real quick - I just wanted to see if you know if other people you sent the book to have gotten it yet - I haven't seen it appear here yet and sometimes they get the mail wrong (Shrek 2 was missing for two moooonnnnths) so I thought I'd ask. :)

[identity profile] cleolinda.livejournal.com 2005-11-05 07:33 pm (UTC)(link)
I haven't sent the book at all--things have been crazy around here lately, and I still have to go get the mailers.
