CHOOSE YOUR OWN ARISIA

[oakenguy]

Welcome, NEW PLAYER! You have just entered Arisia. First you should go to Registration.

Have you pre-registered? If no, go to page 2. If yes, go to page 3.


PAGE 2: You are totally out of luck.


PAGE 3: Your name's in the computer, but your badge has already been printed! Someone has your badge! The Registration guy suggests you go to the Media Room, by the front doors.

If you go where he sends you, and determinedly look for the Media Room, go to page 2.
If you go where he sends you, notice there's no Media Room there but there IS a Program Room, go to page 4.


PAGE 4: The Program Room doors are locked, and no one seems to be inside.

If you wait around for someone, go to page 2.
If you go back to Registration, go to page 5.



PAGE 5: The puzzled man in Registration sends you upstairs to Operations.

If you go directly there, go to page 2.
If you take a winding route there, go to page 6.


PAGE 6: You see some of your friends! They say (Name Withheld) picked up your badge. They think he's at a party on the 11th floor. You're on the second floor. You see a massive line at the elevators.

If you take the stairs, go to page 7.
If you wait in line for the elevator, go to page 8.


PAGE 7: Nine flights of stairs!?! In your winter coat and backpack?!? Are you NUTS? Pause in the landing, take a couple of deep breaths, and go to page 8.


PAGE 8: He's not there. Go to page 2.

So did you find a suitcase with a million bucks in it yet?

Also, way more people should write blog entries in this style. A++++!

Aww, hon, what a bum rap. I ran into audioboy and Name withheld and heard all about it.
Lots of phone calling should be done when you come tomorrow, so they can lie prostrate begging forgiveness sufficiently(and we can watch), and you can get your badge. And then the Wild Rumpus can start, cuz OGuy's in da hause!

Heh. And you may have heard my name mentioned in the same conversation, because the SAME THING happened to me with Name withheld. Oakenguy and I commiserated last night before he left, me wearing my fake badge I had picked up from somebody who was a no show.

I adore this and think you should post it to the arisia lj community. :)

(You ever get around to reading any of those books?)

Argh, I keep forgetting to mention! Yes, all three, and they were quite good in their very different ways. (And that one in particular's helped me sound like an expert about severe burns on three separate occasions).

You have been eaten by a Grue.

I used to preregister for this event-and not that I don't think Red Shift is awesome, but if that's the only thumbs up...sigh.

Arisia's gotten kind of annoying to me in the last few years. Good luck with the rest of the weekend!

And this is why I no longer go to Arisia...

[nevacaruso.livejournal.com]

I did not pre-register. I was thinking of making the trip today and am now glad I did not. Perhaps next year...

[oakenguy.livejournal.com]

Oh dear! I'm sorry if I didn't give that impression...anyone not in my particular situation (being part of a certain pack performing on Sunday) should be fine.

UGHS! Sorry you had to suffer this silliness, but I'm glad to have run into you to say hi, and despite pulling your hair out, you still stay chipper and charismatic, and that's why I like you cause you're awesome like that :D
