This past summer, a couple guys in the ward decided to put together a game of assassins. Basically the objective was to use nerf guns to shoot the team that you were assigned to "kill" while trying to avoid being "killed" yourself.
Freshman year, our apartment actually set up this game for our ward, with the difference being that water was the kill weapon. And it was during winter semester, so we were running around campus with water guns in our pockets and water bottles at the ready. We had some great stake outs and awesome kills during that game, but it fizzled fast because there were too many people who kept trying to alter the rules. It was fun and we got really good at sneakily taking round about ways on campus and stuff.
Anyways, this summer there were some moments that I thought were more noteworthy (and fresher in my memory) to share.
On the night that the game began, there was one group of 3 girls who were after Dan Johns. They knew he worked at a Walgreens, but had no idea which one. They called all of the Walgreens in the area asking for Dan and finally found him. Then they staked out the place and killed him as he got off work. Well done, ladies.
I was teamed up with McKensey, and we were prepared to kick some trash. Well...McKensey got killed like the first day on her way home from work. She was ambushed and one of her sisters had actually locked the apartment door for once. I was determined not to get killed though.
It was kind of an advantage that I didn't technically live at RG. So there was no worry of getting ambushed leaving for work. I did like to come and chill at RG at night after work though, but I came up with a great way to get into the building undetected. A couple nights in a row I parked down by King Henry, and with gun in hand snuck back between Brown Stone and RG and climbed in McKensey's bedroom window. It was fantastic to see Kevin's and Sean's surprised faces when they found me sitting in the living room of 109.
But then...Kaly left the kitchen window open. She was hanging out in the quad because she was dead and had come to ask us something and had simply slid open the kitchen window. Well, she didn't close it, and everybody failed to see the problem with that except for Kevin. It was a cheap shot, but he got me before I had even known what had happened. I was really ticked for about 5 minutes, and then I realized, "Wait, this means that I can actually go hang out with my friends in the quad and I don't have to be trapped in this flipping hot apartment!" I was angry no more and had a lovely evening eating jalapeno cheetos with my friends at the picnic table.
Margie and Megan got back from their family vacation in the midst of the game, and Marjorie was killed within 10 minutes of being home. Emily just came up and shot her while she was carrying a load of stuff in. Then Megan later got killed because Lauren asked Margie if she could hide from someone in their apartment and so Margie let her in...where she promptly walked over and killed Megan.
What's the point of this story? No idea. Maybe to warn everyone that "Assassins" is fun for about a day, and then it just sucks because you can't live life normally. I guess I'm glad I'm not a spy.
