Plain Valley
justin: today we decided we'd hike into Plain (the town, which is quite plain with only two stores) to find Manda some boots. B/c you know who didn't bring any with her and so her feet were wet and cold. On the way over the snow covered bridge WE WERE ATTACKED BY A MAD COUGAR WHICH LUNGED AT MANDA, RIPPING THE KNEE AND BACK POCKET OF HER JEANS. SHE PUT IT IN A HEADLOCK AS I DROP KICKED IT IN THE STOMACH. Luckily we survived and were able to continue on our travels. With no boots in town, we headed back.
Manda: The people here at Grunewald are great so far, and we've had plenty of time to get to know them as there's not many here right now. The guild is a community that thrives in the summer time and hibernates in the winter months when their programming is a little slower and the snow closes them in. Erica is the hospitality coordiantor and our portal to the GG world. She's been kind enough to lend me her boots for our stay since i've forgotten my common sense and my boots in Chicago. Brandi is the guild housekeeper and the youngest person on staff. She's offered to vaccuum our rooms for us, but we're both ashamed so far at the messes we've made in the mere days we've been here. Bill is the maintenance man and has been good enough to dig out most of the buildings for us and Dan is the new Director of Grunewald...he spends a lot of time at his computer. Nathan is the community cook and so far is cooking so well that we're putting on extra insulation if you know what I mean. If i'm forced to eat one more brownie made from scratch I might....no I won't do anything but smile.
