greybetaWell, so I'm always joking with my high school inner circle that we are a real life role playing party. We're a mix of classes, skills, and worldviews. We each have our own role in the party. We have a understanding with each other. In Dungeons and Dragon/Final Fantsy terms we have a lawful-good White Mage (me), neutral-good Red Mage (Father John), neutral-evil Black Mage (Lucky Andy), neutral-neutral Monk (Samurai Maph), chaotic-evil Rogue/Thief (Anime Mike), and a chaotic-neutral Fighter/Tank (Random Jameson).
Our story would be called "Three Star Heroes," so named because if you averaged all our skills together you would come out at three stars (out of five), i.e. a little better than average. Who would the main character be? Technically, we're all the heroes of our own life stories. However, if I had to choose who the main character was, I would say it would be the thief Anime Mike.
Why the thief? Well, he has the least redeeming qualities of our bunch. He lives by stealing off the kindness of others. I know I enable him, but the Scriptures demand that I cannot turn my back on starving man. I mean, if I don't feed the ergophobic thief every once in awhile, he'll die of starvation. Then I'll have that black mark on my soul. I can't do that...
I had hoped that the monk Samurai Maph would be able to come back from Iraq in time for the feast celebrating the my return to good health, but it was not to be. But I'm sure sometime this year, when the monk Samurai Maph is on leave, we'll be able to convene the party for an adventure. Now that would be our final fantasy (or twelve, as the case will be soon).
Here are the pics from the feast...thanks to Aaron, thief Anime Mike's roommate for acting as cameraman.
We're eating 100% American hamburger patties because, as my grey T-shirt says, "Animals Taste Good."
Our final fantasy party sans the Monk. From left to right: The Thief, The Black Mage, The Fighter, The Red Mage, and The White Mage.
The feast.
The Mage-Cooks for the main meal, the burgers and potatoes. Andy's actually a pretty good burger master. I...gained experience in regards to making fried potatoes.
Preparation. D2 is cutting some cilantro for the fried potatoes.
D2 in action. Miss Kat would be happy to know that we used 100% pure beef.
Andy in his burger master glory.
Patties and potatoes gettin' cooked.
Nice back shot of me and Andy. Shows my haircut pretty well, too.
That smoke may be indicative that I'm burning something.
I like my potatoes like I like my steak...charred.
Burgers, meat, and corn make a soulful meal.
What's going on while we're cooking?
Anime Mike's playing a game...how typical.
Mike takes on one of the bosses in Shadows of Colossus.
But Mike got pwned!
John and Jameson take a healthy bite.
Let's watch get Mike get pwned again!
Rock on, Three Star Guitar Hero!
John spread out the cookies for easy baking.
This picture explains why I call the Thief "Anime" Mike.
Two minutes after cookies came out of the oven...
A white mage doesn't use a sword...unless it's the Honjo Masamune!
(If you look in the top right you can see Anime Mike's eighty dollar Robotech Valkyrie action figure. That's eighty dollars he should have spent on food and gas.)
