Here\u2019s the minutes<\/span> from Wednesday. Gimme dat gear too.<\/p>\n

\n
The same wooded enclosure. The smoking wreckage of the helicopter sits amongst piles of mangled BOC bodies. Once such beautiful people, reduced to nothing more than simple cadavers. Burning debris and detritus are spread throughout the area, and the sweet smell of toasted human flesh wafts through the air. Suddenly a hand appears from underneath a twisted piece of metal. Miles (kilometers), crawls out. His bones broken, left eyeball hanging from the optic nerve. Kilometers is a dead man walking. He grunts, cries out. An idea appears in his mind, he remembers his EMT training. He remembers the \u2018Forbidden Section.\u2019 The section that is not spoken of. He remembers that he is actually trained in necromancy.<\/div>\n
Kilometers chants under his breath, his mangled tongue working its best magic. \u201811, 11, 11, 11, 11,\u2019 are the only intelligible sounds. \u201811, 11, 11.\u2019 The bodies around him begin to show signs of life. Ethan\u2019s finger twitches. Nathan D Plock lets out a groan. Paul begins to make the motions of a pole dancer. \u201811, 11, 11.\u2019 Noel starts mumbling about rocks. Tess motions \u2018hang loose\u2019 to her neighbor. \u201811, 11!\u2019 All the undead BOC\u2019ers take up the chant. As it rises in volume so does Kilometers. He floats 10, 20, 30, 111 feet into the air. He cackles, and calls the meeting to order.<\/div>\n

Undead Kurt attempts to begin a BDD chant. Unfortunately he is headless and the breath escapes out nothing more than a hole in his neck. His hands are also completely severed and he can\u2019t figure out how to operate snapchat with his gory stumps.<\/div>\n
Gear:<\/div>\n
ME– no one sent me any emails.<\/div>\n
NOEL– To clarify about gear: any councilmember can propose gear. To do so, send an email detailing the purchase, why we need it, costs, etc, to the secretary. All proposals are compiled and sent out before the meeting. Councilmembers will then be ready to vote and then voting is done. You must be a councilmember to propose gear!<\/div>\n

Pardo-I went to Alaska, Bear Mountain, over 1 griz per mile, couple too tree coooks take a trip. Weather turns, they go bed down, Hank (Henry Colt) forgets the two person bed. One person bed is big enough, Hank was middle spoon (score), Pardo was the papa bear, Paul baby bear, Hank gets stressed oot and sends it into the emergency bivy, its raining sideways, woke up in the morning and crushed the hike, saw some sweet nature scene, thats all he has to say.<\/div>\n


\nThe bodies of the BOC quickly begin to decay as the meeting is called to an end. Kilometers\u2019 magical power fades. He plummets to the ground and detonates with the force of a hydrogen bomb. The greater LA area is reduced to nuclear wasteland. The US Government interprets this as a Russian attack and sends missiles to Moscow. Mutually Assured Destruction runs its course. The world is plummeted into a new Dark Age. To be continued.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
