I walked out of Casa d' Waffles and glanced around the street. Something definitely seemed a little off, but I couldn't put my finger on it. It's like that funny feeling you get when something bad is going to happen. Perhaps it was the impending doom that came with such a menacing cloud cover. Then I realized what it was; the block seemed to be a lot noisier than usual. It wasn't like loud noises, just a lot of white noise. The most prominent one seemed to be what sounded like a voice over a mega-phone. It was lunch time, so I figured I had time to investigate before returning to show another movie.
As I approached what seemed to be a cluster of tents, approx. 12 tents if I counted correctly. I realized the megaphoning had stopped, when all of a sudden behind me came a shout of, "OCCUPY," right in my ear through a megaphone. I jumped around and glared at the megaphonist. "Occupy what?" I asked. The person just gave me a what-kind-of-question-is-that glare and stalked off, continuing his meaningless chant. Staring in disbelief at the small group of people who clearly listened to this guy, maybe even worshiped at the sight of their expressions, I noticed two other onlookers with the same face I was making.
I mustered up the courage to walk over and asked what they thought of the whole shebang going on. I quickly realized they thought it was just as stupid and meaningless as I did. Their names were Ethel and Taunya. Looking at the time, I bade them goodbye, told them to stop by for a free movie as an anti-occupy gift, and walked towards the Theater.
On my way over I realized that today was the day of some big play that Lucas Shaffer, the owner of the other half of the sawmill, was throwing on. With such thin walls, I wasn't going to be able to play any movies during the duration of the whole thing. I considered watching it, as I would have nothing else to do anyways, as I started the new Muppets movie. Of course, plays always tend to have expensive tickets. Perhaps I could finally walk 20 feet and meet this Lucas. Maybe a free ticket could come out of it...
