Humorous Tales of OrcCon, Part 2

It was Friday evening. After running around gathering my materials to demo Penny, getting caught in a minor traffic back-up on the 405, and discovering that the hotel parking was full and that I instead needed to park several blocks away, I finally made it to OrcCon. The first people I ran into were playing The Shotgun Diaries, John Wick's game of zombie survivors. They were led, unsurprisingly, by John Wick. I was immediately roped into the game, and, as all of existing Archetypes were taken, John made me the Crazy Survivor. He then says to me, "I don't know what that means yet. Fake it."

The game was set in LA, and at some point we got ourselves to the Griffith Observatory where the Smart Survivor was going to do something involving the telescope to save us. The plan ran out of steam, however, when we couldn't come up with a reasonable use for the telescope. "Hold on," I said, as I grabbed a flashlight, a piece of paper, and a pair of scissors. "What are you doing?" someone asked. I turned on the flashlight and shone it past my paper cutout, down the shaft of the telescope where it reflect off the mirror to project my design into the sky. "I'm summoning Batman," I said. "What?" they asked incredulously. "Come on," I said, "Adam West has got to be out there somewhere."

I took John's inability to breathe as a sign I was doing ok.
