A Day in the Life of a RV Volunteer Staff


I pull into the Village parking lot in my prized Beetle MK1, (After a long war on getting it here, I finally managed it. Thanks to all those who helped jump-start it. ). I pull up next to the ambulance almost permanently parked there, (Dr Henry never leaves.)
*CLANG!*
Erm….. wait a second…. *brings out a roll of insulating tape and starts manically wrapping it round the rear bumper of the Beetle* Sorry about that. Where was I? Oh yes…. The Village Offices…. Well, like some people I work in many departments. You see, I don’t always chuck out junk for the Villager! Anyway, I stroll up into the main office block and hand in my hour’s sheet, flirt with the secretary and then stroll down one of the many halls.

I finally reach my office. I reach down into my coat and pull out a can of Brasso and a cloth. I start frantically cleaning my door plaque…
“BOO!”
“WHO THE HELL WAS THAT!” I yelled! I span round and saw who it was. “Oh, it's you Jenny. Don’t sneak up on me like that!”
“Sorry King, hey, are you going to finish typing up that guide? It needs to be edited soon.” A5Chow asked.
“A.S.A.P jenny, you know me!”
I went into my office, sat down at my computer (or what’s left after Gamestar raided my office) and started typing….

After many hours there is a knock at the door.
“Who is it!?” I yelled.
“Your resident doctor. My observations say that you need coffee.” He replied as he walked in and dumped a double espresso onto the desk.
“Cheers.” I thanked Dr Henry whilst gulping it down. “Any chance of another?”
“Sure, if you get yourself down to the database offices.” He replied after giving me a signal to shift myself. I quickly E-Mailed A5Chow the work and gave Dr Henry my computer.
“ So what’s the matter with your office Doc?” I asked.
“Let's just say that a few of the new editors have colonised it.”
“Ah… jealous that I have an office and they don’t eh? But don’t have the guts to invade my office. Heh heh heh….”
“Shut up and get down there!” Dr Henry yelled.

I marched down the corridor, said 'Hi' to Jimmybe, he was too busy with a new guide really, and went down to my other office. There’s voices coming out of my office…
Oh dear…
*sprsrspsp… The123King… srsprrprss… hack… sprsrsrsrpsrs… Staff… Glodenox…*
*Kicks open door* “WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU LOT DOING IN HERE!!!”
Halley92, Glodenox, Aragorn IX and Zizi are sat huddled around my computer.
“Right, you lot, get out!” I yelled. They all start shuffling out. “Glodenox, where are you going?”
Glodenox is stood there, shuffling his feet. “Your computer is the only one that had Rise of Nations installed on it… we only wanted a short game…”
I look back to the screen, sure enough, there is a 5-player death match being played. Coincidently Zizi just nuked Glodenox. I exit the game.
I hand Glodenox a DVD case. “Go on, install it on your computer…”
I sit back down and open up the database submissions page and start typing…

“THIS IS A RAID!!!!”
I wake up with a start, smash my head on the computer screen and yell out in pain.
“Ultragast you idiot! You trying to give me a heart attack?!?!?” I yelled at the figure standing in the door, wielding a toy shotgun. “ Eh, what are you doing here?”
“Gamestar wants you to write a new article for the Villager.” Ultragast replied.
“Uh… ok.” I pause. “Hang on, how did you get here?”
“Security is on a coffee break.”
“Fair enough.” I replied. “Want to walk down with me?”
“Sure.”

“You know, coincidently I’ve been writing this article about a day in the life of the RV Volunteer Staff” I said to Ultragast as we plodded down the main hall.
“Yeh? Do I star?” he asked.
“You do now.” We step outside the main Office Block, walk round the back and disappear into a wooden shack.

This shack is the Villager Offices, Gamestar’s office is directly in front of us with other Offices down the corridor to our right. We step into Gamestar’s Office.
“Hello your Royal Highness.” Ultragast and I bow.
“Hello King, Hello Ultra. What can I do for you?
“I was just passing into Knux’s office.” Ultragast said whilst crawling through a catflap. “Hey Knux.” I hear, severely muffled.
“Anyway, Gamestar, I was just saying I have an article in the works, it will be done soon. That is all.” I said to the holy whip-wielding head of the offices.
I back out of the office and go into the staff room. I don’t have an office yet.

*CLUNK CLUNK CLUNK!*
“THE AIR CON IS NOISY TODAY!” Donut Juice yelled.
*BASH CLUNK BANG!*
“DON’T WORRY, ITS ONLY RICHBOI0 GETTING COMFY IN THERE!!” I reply.
*BONK SMASH CLUNK*
“Sorry guys, it's not very nice in here…” Richboi0 yelled between the grate.
I look at the time, 16:57 according to the digital alarm clock taped to the wall.
“Crikey! Is that the time!” I rush out, clutching this piece of paper, run down to the editor’s office, scribble down the last of this article and leg it back out to my Beetle.

Another average day at RuneVillage!
