2014-10-25 12:18:13 PM AriaAngelDream Mors, save us
2014-10-25 12:18:22 PM AriaAngelDream papa Mors~
2014-10-25 12:18:26 PM Morsalbus Huh
2014-10-25 12:18:36 PM AriaAngelDream tell us a story :V
2014-10-25 12:19:39 PM Morsalbus What kind of story?
2014-10-25 12:19:44 PM AriaAngelDream any kind
2014-10-25 12:19:48 PM Morsalbus Okay
2014-10-25 12:20:26 PM Morsalbus Well, to preface this story, I'll tell you that as a child, I was in Cub Scouts, the younger version of Boy Scouts.
2014-10-25 12:20:52 PM AriaAngelDream I never went to girls scouts
2014-10-25 12:20:54 PM Morsalbus I was in Boy Scouts too, but that's not relevant, because this happened when I was around 10 years old
2014-10-25 12:20:55 PM AriaAngelDream or boy scouts
2014-10-25 12:20:56 PM AriaAngelDream :V
2014-10-25 12:21:17 PM Morsalbus I was actually an honorary Girl Scout as well, but that's also not relevant to this story
2014-10-25 12:22:33 PM Morsalbus You see, there's this camping site that our "Pack" odf Cub Scouts would use to go camping more often than any other site, because it was nearby, cheap, and had room for our entire Pack
2014-10-25 12:23:34 PM Morsalbus So one weekend in the late summer, just when it's still warm, but not too hot to be comfortable outside, we all go to this campsite.
2014-10-25 12:24:28 PM Morsalbus left the chat room
(PROBABLY WROTE MORE OF THE STORY THAT DIDN'T SHOW UP WHILE MY INTERNET WAS OUT)
2014-10-25 12:24:47 PM AriaAngelDream I dont even know if the story was done or not :V
2014-10-25 12:24:50 PM Morsalbus enter the chat room
2014-10-25 12:25:36 PM Morsalbus We had competitions where we would try to outdo each other in skill for building fires, whittling art with pocket knives, that sort of thing. This went throughout the day, and as the events stopped and the sun just started to go down, I felt pretty good.
2014-10-25 12:25:50 PM AriaAngelDream the good feeling~
2014-10-25 12:25:52 PM Morsalbus I had performed well that day. I was always a competitive kid.
2014-10-25 12:26:11 PM Morsalbus I was shorter than most of my peers at the time, but twice as spunky
2014-10-25 12:27:12 PM Morsalbus So as the grown-ups cleaned up the supplies we had used in all our fun and games, I decided to go farther into the woods with my two best friends at the time. Do a little exploring.
2014-10-25 12:28:15 PM Morsalbus Of course, we were meant to be supervised at this camping trip. Out Scout pack wasn't the only group of people camping in this place any particular weekend
2014-10-25 12:28:57 PM Morsalbus But I managed to not only convince my wet blanket friends to go exploring with me, but also slip away from the poor sap who was supposed to be watching the kids
2014-10-25 12:30:54 PM Morsalbus So I sauntered off into the deeper woods, my two friends in tow. The wet blanket I mentioned before, let's call him "Aaron." He was kind of fat, and he had strawberry blond hair back then. Wore glasses and loved Star Wars.
2014-10-25 12:31:50 PM AriaAngelDream the blanket looked like a person?
2014-10-25 12:32:05 PM Morsalbus No, haha. "Wet blanket " is slang for a wimp
2014-10-25 12:32:11 PM AriaAngelDream oh lol
2014-10-25 12:32:24 PM Morsalbus A bedwetter who always wants to be a goodie-two shoes and is a scaredy cat
2014-10-25 12:33:35 PM AriaAngelDream I used to wet beds when I slept as a little kid
2014-10-25 12:33:45 PM AriaAngelDream it was always my grandma's bed too :V
2014-10-25 12:33:48 PM Morsalbus Anyways my other friend, we'll call him "Brian" so the friends are "A" and "B", was tall and had short dark hair. He was homeschooled, and he was kind of weird.
2014-10-25 12:34:54 PM Morsalbus For one thing he had a bit of a British accent, despite not being British at all. His parents were from New Jersey. I think he had the accent as a result of listening to tons and tons of audio books read by British actors
2014-10-25 12:35:31 PM Morsalbus He was adventurous, but a little naive and clueless about how to go about having adventures, in my opinion.
2014-10-25 12:36:51 PM Morsalbus So the three of us walk into the woods to mess around as the sun lowered in the sky. The world was tinted orange as we pretended to be Pokemon and hit each other with sticks we picked up and found to our liking
2014-10-25 12:37:14 PM Morsalbus Although truthfully I was the one doing most of thr hitting. I was a little bit of a bully back then.
2014-10-25 12:37:44 PM Enzo Matrix bullyinh is wrong in my opinion
2014-10-25 12:37:59 PM MechaMento thanks enzo
2014-10-25 12:38:26 PM Morsalbus After a time, we kept walking and came upon a tree whose branches were low enough for me to jump up to and climb.
2014-10-25 12:38:41 PM Morsalbus So that's what I did. I've always been a very good climber.
2014-10-25 12:38:55 PM AriaAngelDream I never climbed a tree before
2014-10-25 12:39:23 PM Morsalbus You should, Aria! It's really fun. I love climbing stuff. Trees, rocks, ropes, anything
2014-10-25 12:39:40 PM AriaAngelDream Okay!
2014-10-25 12:40:17 PM Morsalbus Anyways, as I pulled myself up, I noticed a strange glimmer in the fork of two branches several yards above my head in the tree
2014-10-25 12:41:18 PM Morsalbus Being the curious little camper I was, I decided to go up and find out what it was. All the while Aaron stood below telling me that I should just come back down before I got hurt
2014-10-25 12:42:37 PM Morsalbus He always did that. He was always worrying about someone getting hurt. On the rare occasion I could convince Aaron to climb with me, he would just head back down as soon as he thought he had finally proven to me that he wasn't a baby
2014-10-25 12:43:23 PM Morsalbus So this time, I didn't heed his warnings, as I had never heeded them before.
2014-10-25 12:44:09 PM Morsalbus I climbed up to the strange shiny object that had caught my eye, hoping that perhaps I had stumbled upon some long-forgotten treasure
2014-10-25 12:44:28 PM AriaAngelDream betting it was something useless now :V
2014-10-25 12:45:07 PM Morsalbus I arrived at my destination, now a good 25 ft above the ground, and I probably wasn't much taller than three feet myself
2014-10-25 12:46:00 PM Morsalbus And I discovered that the shine I had detected was not metal, but rather plastic. I had found a snack food wrapped up in a bag.
2014-10-25 12:46:14 PM Morsalbus It was a Moon Pie, if you've ever heard of them
2014-10-25 12:46:18 PM paper luigi Yus
2014-10-25 12:46:22 PM AriaAngelDream how did a snack food get up high in the tree in teh first place? :V
2014-10-25 12:46:27 PM paper luigi Tasty to.
2014-10-25 12:46:43 PM Morsalbus I wondered the same thing. It was peculiar.
2014-10-25 12:47:18 PM AriaAngelDream welp, it wasnt useless unless it expired already :V
2014-10-25 12:47:34 PM Morsalbus But rather than sit and ponder on that question, I joked to my buddies below about how I had found a moon pie, and how I was sure Aaron would want it
2014-10-25 12:48:11 PM Morsalbus Seemingly unaware that I was mocking him for being fat, he told me that he didn't like Moon Pies, and it was probably expired anyways
2014-10-25 12:48:48 PM Morsalbus At that point I began to wonder how long the pie had been there myself, so I searched for the expiration date
2014-10-25 12:48:56 PM AriaAngelDream such a great friend you are :V
2014-10-25 12:49:16 PM AriaAngelDream sounds like something I probably would do to my friends :V
2014-10-25 12:50:03 PM Morsalbus I was a mean kid, I know
It's taken a lot of work for me to become a bit nicer, but I did end up better. I stopped being so mean and apologized to a lot of people later in high school
2014-10-25 12:50:15 PM Morsalbus I'm still friends with Aaron, though we don't talk much now.
2014-10-25 12:50:38 PM AriaAngelDream I gotta go now
2014-10-25 12:50:41 PM AriaAngelDream ciao
2014-10-25 12:50:43 PM AriaAngelDream left the chat room
2014-10-25 12:50:49 PM Morsalbus Anyways, as I said before, this was around the end of the summer, probably sometime in August
2014-10-25 12:51:59 PM Morsalbus The expiration date said February on it. My immediate reaction was to assume the Moon Pie was expired, but of course I checked the year to make sure.
2014-10-25 12:52:18 PM Galacta mors why are you telling your life story
2014-10-25 12:52:28 PM TheFadedWarrior so what if a moon pie expires? It's a moon pie, eat it anywqayz
2014-10-25 12:52:29 PM paper luigi SUSH! I wanna hear it!
2014-10-25 12:52:36 PM Morsalbus Galacta pls
2014-10-25 12:52:41 PM GameBoy1023 because
2014-10-25 12:52:42 PM Morsalbus I was asked to tell a story
2014-10-25 12:52:43 PM GameBoy1023 he's
2014-10-25 12:52:44 PM GameBoy1023 uh
2014-10-25 12:52:49 PM GameBoy1023 huegh
2014-10-25 12:52:57 PM TheFadedWarrior mors so old his expiration date was last decade
2014-10-25 12:53:02 PM Galacta this story has been going on for like a half hour
2014-10-25 12:53:04 PM TheFadedWarrior Buuuurned
2014-10-25 12:53:06 PM Morsalbus And Faded, I don't really like Moon Pies
2014-10-25 12:53:16 PM TheFadedWarrior moon pies are great
2014-10-25 12:53:18 PM Morsalbus Maybe if people stopped interrupting, Gal
2014-10-25 12:53:20 PM TheFadedWarrior ship it to me from UPS
2014-10-25 12:53:31 PM Morsalbus I don't have it anymore, that was like 10 years ago
2014-10-25 12:53:48 PM paper luigi Must be fresh.
2014-10-25 12:54:08 PM Morsalbus Which brings me to the weird part. The date very clearly said 2025
2014-10-25 12:54:18 PM paper luigi So.....
2014-10-25 12:54:22 PM paper luigi Still fresh
2014-10-25 12:54:28 PM paper luigi I KNEW IT!
2014-10-25 12:54:44 PM Morsalbus Now I don't know how long these things last, but in 2003, 2025 seemed a long way off.
2014-10-25 12:56:17 PM Morsalbus I thought nothing of the Moon Pie's expiration date back then, but I later found out that Moon Pies only last around 8 months normally, which explains a lot
2014-10-25 12:56:38 PM Morsalbus At the time, I thought Moon Pies must just last forever, like twinkies.
2014-10-25 12:56:52 PM paper luigi did you eat it?
2014-10-25 12:56:59 PM Morsalbus I don't like them
2014-10-25 12:57:04 PM Morsalbus And neither did Aaron
2014-10-25 12:57:11 PM paper luigi You threw it away ;~;
2014-10-25 12:57:28 PM Morsalbus There wasn't a trash can in the middle of the woods
2014-10-25 12:57:33 PM Morsalbus As far as I know
2014-10-25 12:58:44 PM Morsalbus Anyways, I tossed the Moon Pie down, and as the sun continued to set, I decided to climb back down to the ground and go back to the camp. Maybe they had some Koolaid. I Pickles loved Koolaid.
2014-10-25 12:59:05 PM Morsalbus Then I woke up in my tent
2014-10-25 01:00:17 PM Morsalbus This camping trip, my mom decided not to go because her grandmother was in the hospital, so Aaron's dad had helped me set up my tent, but I was sleeping alone
2014-10-25 01:01:29 PM Morsalbus I was confused, as you may have been, by my sudden loss of memory. The last thing I remembered was starting to climb down the tree, and then I woke up in bed
2014-10-25 01:02:49 PM Morsalbus I exited my tent to try and figure out what had happened. It was early in the morning, apparently, probably around 5:30, but there were a surprising number of grownups awake and walking around
2014-10-25 01:03:49 PM Morsalbus As one of them caught sight of me, he pointed and all the adults noticed and came over. My mom ran to me and hugged me like a vice.
2014-10-25 01:04:07 PM Morsalbus Others were just standing around with a dumb look on their face
2014-10-25 01:04:13 PM Morsalbus Including some police officers
2014-10-25 01:05:04 PM Morsalbus Apparently I had been missing since the night before. When they called roll and couldn't find me, they searched the area as well as they could. Then they called the police, and my mother
2014-10-25 01:05:26 PM Morsalbus They had been up all night looking for me, and waiting for me to come back
2014-10-25 01:06:34 PM Morsalbus It was a touching reunion, I guess, but a confusing one. I don't remember getting lost or the sun even going all the way down.
2014-10-25 01:07:09 PM Morsalbus Weeks later, I asked Aaron and Brian about hat had happened
2014-10-25 01:07:49 PM Morsalbus It took a lot of prodding because of how guilty they felt, but they finally told me that I had fallen from the tree and landed on a rock
2014-10-25 01:08:37 PM Morsalbus They said that my head had been bleeding and that I stopped breathing. They went back to camp and agreed never to tell anyone what happened so they wouldn't get in trouble.
2014-10-25 01:08:49 PM Morsalbus The last time they had seen me, they were sure I was dead.
2014-10-25 01:09:09 PM Morsalbus They were just waiting for the grownups to find my body
2014-10-25 01:09:42 PM megamanmaniac Mors is this a story?
2014-10-25 01:12:50 PM Morsalbus left the chat room
(I TYPED THE END WHILE MY INTERNET WAS GONE, BUT HERE'S THE BASICS)
As you would imagine, the adult had checked my tent plenty of times when they searched for me, and there had been people in camp watching for me who never saw me enter my tent that night. But I woke up the next morning in my tent, not a scratch or bumb anywhere on me. Definitely not dead.
I have no reasonable explanation for those events, but when I look back on it, I always wonder about that Moon Pie that expired in 2025.
2014-10-25 12:18:13 PM AriaAngelDream Mors, save us
2014-10-25 12:18:22 PM AriaAngelDream papa Mors~
2014-10-25 12:18:26 PM Morsalbus Huh

2014-10-25 12:49:16 PM AriaAngelDream sounds like something I probably would do to my friends :V
2014-10-25 12:50:03 PM Morsalbus I was a mean kid, I know
It's taken a lot of work for me to become a bit nicer, but I did end up better. I stopped being so mean and apologized to a lot of people later in high school2014-10-25 12:50:15 PM Morsalbus I'm still friends with Aaron, though we don't talk much now.
2014-10-25 12:50:38 PM AriaAngelDream I gotta go now
2014-10-25 12:50:41 PM AriaAngelDream ciao
2014-10-25 12:50:43 PM AriaAngelDream left the chat room
2014-10-25 12:50:49 PM Morsalbus Anyways, as I said before, this was around the end of the summer, probably sometime in August
2014-10-25 12:51:59 PM Morsalbus The expiration date said February on it. My immediate reaction was to assume the Moon Pie was expired, but of course I checked the year to make sure.

2014-10-25 12:53:31 PM Morsalbus I don't have it anymore, that was like 10 years ago
2014-10-25 12:53:48 PM paper luigi Must be fresh.
2014-10-25 12:54:08 PM Morsalbus Which brings me to the weird part. The date very clearly said 2025
2014-10-25 12:54:18 PM paper luigi So.....
2014-10-25 12:54:22 PM paper luigi Still fresh
2014-10-25 12:54:28 PM paper luigi I KNEW IT!
2014-10-25 12:54:44 PM Morsalbus Now I don't know how long these things last, but in 2003, 2025 seemed a long way off.
2014-10-25 12:56:17 PM Morsalbus I thought nothing of the Moon Pie's expiration date back then, but I later found out that Moon Pies only last around 8 months normally, which explains a lot
2014-10-25 12:56:38 PM Morsalbus At the time, I thought Moon Pies must just last forever, like twinkies.
2014-10-25 12:56:52 PM paper luigi did you eat it?
2014-10-25 12:56:59 PM Morsalbus I don't like them
2014-10-25 12:57:04 PM Morsalbus And neither did Aaron
2014-10-25 12:57:11 PM paper luigi You threw it away ;~;
2014-10-25 12:57:28 PM Morsalbus There wasn't a trash can in the middle of the woods
2014-10-25 12:57:33 PM Morsalbus As far as I know
2014-10-25 12:58:44 PM Morsalbus Anyways, I tossed the Moon Pie down, and as the sun continued to set, I decided to climb back down to the ground and go back to the camp. Maybe they had some Koolaid. I Pickles loved Koolaid.
2014-10-25 12:59:05 PM Morsalbus Then I woke up in my tent
2014-10-25 01:00:17 PM Morsalbus This camping trip, my mom decided not to go because her grandmother was in the hospital, so Aaron's dad had helped me set up my tent, but I was sleeping alone
2014-10-25 01:01:29 PM Morsalbus I was confused, as you may have been, by my sudden loss of memory. The last thing I remembered was starting to climb down the tree, and then I woke up in bed
2014-10-25 01:02:49 PM Morsalbus I exited my tent to try and figure out what had happened. It was early in the morning, apparently, probably around 5:30, but there were a surprising number of grownups awake and walking around
2014-10-25 01:03:49 PM Morsalbus As one of them caught sight of me, he pointed and all the adults noticed and came over. My mom ran to me and hugged me like a vice.
2014-10-25 01:04:07 PM Morsalbus Others were just standing around with a dumb look on their face
2014-10-25 01:04:13 PM Morsalbus Including some police officers
2014-10-25 01:05:04 PM Morsalbus Apparently I had been missing since the night before. When they called roll and couldn't find me, they searched the area as well as they could. Then they called the police, and my mother
2014-10-25 01:05:26 PM Morsalbus They had been up all night looking for me, and waiting for me to come back
2014-10-25 01:06:34 PM Morsalbus It was a touching reunion, I guess, but a confusing one. I don't remember getting lost or the sun even going all the way down.
2014-10-25 01:07:09 PM Morsalbus Weeks later, I asked Aaron and Brian about hat had happened
2014-10-25 01:07:49 PM Morsalbus It took a lot of prodding because of how guilty they felt, but they finally told me that I had fallen from the tree and landed on a rock
2014-10-25 01:08:37 PM Morsalbus They said that my head had been bleeding and that I stopped breathing. They went back to camp and agreed never to tell anyone what happened so they wouldn't get in trouble.
2014-10-25 01:08:49 PM Morsalbus The last time they had seen me, they were sure I was dead.
2014-10-25 01:09:09 PM Morsalbus They were just waiting for the grownups to find my body
2014-10-25 01:09:42 PM megamanmaniac Mors is this a story?
2014-10-25 01:12:50 PM Morsalbus left the chat room
(I TYPED THE END WHILE MY INTERNET WAS GONE, BUT HERE'S THE BASICS)
As you would imagine, the adult had checked my tent plenty of times when they searched for me, and there had been people in camp watching for me who never saw me enter my tent that night. But I woke up the next morning in my tent, not a scratch or bumb anywhere on me. Definitely not dead.
I have no reasonable explanation for those events, but when I look back on it, I always wonder about that Moon Pie that expired in 2025.
