“…you’re getting the snacks”

So we park up and unstrap this hunka junk by the lake.

“What’s the plan here, can we park there? Have you even googled it?”

“…And ruin the surprise? No way! Google is information, and information is…stifling.”

Stifling? Ted? I know!

Despite not being the haven of progress it once was, decades of travel have left Kleidar a place of many cultures.

Elves, humans and tieflings amongst its largely peaceful population.

The old library housed works produced by, or brought by its many past visitors.

If the sparse nature of the wild plains was noticeable, the neighboring towns were unrecognizable.

Once a haven for intellectuals, magicians and travelers, Kleidar had returned to a beautiful landscape with towns who benefitted from exports of their rare sea life.

With purple clouds that spiraled and shone, the stone towers dotted across the landscape could be seen.

Vast plains of turquoise grass crawled in the distance like living entity.

Tree branches rhythmically pulsed up and down as they breathed.

“What’s gotten into you?

Are you on drugs or something?

There’s not gonna be no Bigfoot, no ghosts, and if there is…the hell I wanna be out there with only you to protect me.

Is there something you’re not telling me Ed? Why do you wanna go out there?”

He pauses and gives me a little smile.

He knows I figure it’s stupid, but he knows he’s got my ass.

I front and posture, like I always.

“Ted…I’ve not thought about that island for years, we are 23 now.

What do you think is gonna be there for real?

I mean, c’mon”

I cock an eye at him.

“…the lake?

Lake Champlain?

We’ve been there plenty of times. Not on the water but we’ve camped, we’ve hunted, that’s not new.

How did you get this anyway?”

When he looks disappointed I exhale.

“Go on Ted…tell me your plan.”

Here’s the thing about me…

I always know I should steer clear of his bullshit, but what can I say! His excitement always gets me thinking.

Fool me once yadda yadda.

So he gets us there and you’ll never guess what he has…

“A fishing boat? What?”

“Okay, hear me out…”

It started with a game of pool. Local bar, same guys, standard Saturday afternoon.

I was just about to win 20 bucks off Ted, he got a call and
rushed off.

He came back with that twinkle in his eye.

Uh oh…

‘Hey Jamie…you won’t believe what I have for you’

Doing my best to ignore the private property signs plastered all over the shore we press on. I help Ted get the boat off the trailer and into the water, while avoiding crushing our feet.

“Yeah there we go, piece of cake” Ted says as he wipes his hands on his trunks.”

#Co-opImprovStory Entry 13:

Ted can’t look at me, his eyes dart back-and-forth along the driveway as he kicks pebbles and paces around his new boat.

“come on man what’s wrong with wanting to just hang out we don’t have to worry about the why.” Ted sighs “let’s just take the boat out.”

Ted passes for a moment to think

“Ghosts? Idk man maybe like a big foot or something?” He suggests.

I roll my eyes at him and put my hands on my hips.

“Ted buddy I think there’s just supposed to be one Bigfoot” I sigh

“Maybe he’s there’s man” Ted then chuckles.

Ted looks at my with excited eyes as I let him explain himself.

“Ok ok, so hear me out, we can take the boat out and explore that island your always talking about” he says excitedly as she gestures at his new boat

“You mean the island that’s marked, off limits?” I ask

#Co-opImprovStory Entry 5:

I knew I should have just stayed at the bar, but the curios part that gets me in trouble, keeps my from leaving the garage.

“Alright fine” I sigh, “why did you buy a boat?” I ask, knowing he won’t have a good answer.

“Come on man, look at this thing!” he defends

#Co-opImprovStory Entry 3:
I roll my eyes and sign, wanting to give him the benefit of the doubt even if his track record doesn’t deserve it.

“What is it this time?” I ask him, leaning my pool stick against the table crossing my arms.

“It just got dropped off at my house, come on” he beckons

let’s go
#Co-opImprovStory Entry 1:
It’s cold in Vermont, it’s always cold this time of year. January, right after all the Christmas fun has ended, this town is left hungover and sad, waiting for the next reason to smile. But I don’t mind the cold, my name is Jamie, and this is my happy season.

And every year on the shortest night, denizens from all around the world gathered in Kleidar for a celebration of stars and fire.

This year they celebrated late into the night. Everything was perfect, until Raine, Claud, and Zuli woke to the world violently shaking.

Every morning when rays of light peaked above the horizon, the silence transformed into the clanking of pans from tower kitchens, playful shrieks of children running through a sea of grass and wildflowers, and shouting from the docs.

Yet there were no sounds of creatures rustling through the brush nor the flap of wings in the sky, but the scent of life still lingered in the air. A not so distant memory of what once was.
There was no witness to the low hum from below, unheard but still felt.
