A Staff Story

It was a warm summer’s day in the backyard of the RuneVillage offices. Hiker lay sunbathing in one corner, Henner sat polishing his nose in another, Mustangnut stood taking photos of his “Mustang”. As for Applequest, well, Applequest just spent his time running around chasing his own tail.

It had been a few hours into the afternoon when Applequest decided to take a break from his tail and wander inside to get a nice cold can of Coca Cola. As usual, he walked over to the fridge, opened it with his right hand. Pull out a can of coke. Shut the door. Walked back out. Opened the door back into the garden, and went to take a seat next to Hiker.

This is where things started to get weird.

After about 15 minutes of talking to Hiker, Applequest realised he was getting no reply. “Hmmm, maybe they are always like this at this time of the day”. Being new to the site admin garden, how was he to know?

A few more minutes with no reply from Hiker and Applequest started to notice something was seriously wrong. He started shaking Hiker on the shoulders but when his head rolled over to Applequest what starred him in the eyes horrified him.

Hiker’s eyeballs had been replaced by bionics pupils. The bionic pupils did not look happy with Applequest. He looked around and saw the same bionic pupils in Henner and Mustangnut. Applequest ran for his life. He entered the house to try and find a good hiding spot until the “bionicness” passed. He looked up and saw the shiny silver air vent. Using every muscle in his body he launched himself up into the air vent and started crawling along it as fast as his little knees could carry him.

As Applequest came to a junction he heard a loud clunk. Anxious to see what the noise was he popped his head around the corner.

“Oh...My...God. Runnnnn!!!”
