Captain's Log 10-25-2015

This fall hasn't been your average fall here at The Arena E-Sports lounge.  Things have gotten a bit....darker. Mostly it’s been the little things. Monitors being on in the morning when we all swear they were off when we left the night before. Strange streams playing on full blast in the middle of the afternoon. It took a while before we started putting the pieces together but it seemed an otherworldly presence has started to take over. Then, this afternoon the reality of what that meant came crashing down all around us. 

I had just returned from the post office to pick up the day's mail. I sat down at my desk to sort the mail: junk in the garbage, bills in the drawer, the usual routine. I got to the bottom of the pile and there sat a strange manila folder with no address attached to it. Only the words, “Open me" written in permanent marker on its face. I slowly opened the metal clasp and flipped open the top flap. Out fell a peculiar little flash drive.  Before I could grab it from my desk, it flipped up, and launched itself perfectly into my PC. As the flash drive clicked into place every computer, television, and speaker in the building broke out in an evil crackling laugh. By this point the entire place was in pandemonium. The lights flickered and the laughter stopped. For the next three hours every screen was locked with the words, "Appease me or the end is near. Bring 150 sacrifices to me October 31st. Give them anything they wish. Happy sacrifices taste the best." The message concluded with the smiley face :^).

Just when things seemed to be getting back to normal. The screen flashed just one time, just long enough for those of us still riveted to the screens to catch. Michael “ImaQtpie” Santana darted before our eyes with a lone message. “I’m Coming.”

To ensure the safety of gamers everywhere we have chosen to answer the call. Saturday October 31^st we will be throwing the gamers Halloween dream. The first 150 in the door will receive all you can eat, all you can drink, all you can play wristbands. The place is yours, the games are loaded, and the “secret cauldron” will be brewing up specialty drinks all night. The gamer lord ImaQtpie is set to arrive at 10pm sharp so don’t be late. For all of our sake.
