Packing Up for Exploration!

Adventurer 1– So, we haven’t been to this place before.  Let’s make sure we’re prepared, Jimmy.

Jimmy– You got it, Bart.

Bart– Extra clothes, backpacks, bedrolls, food rations, rope, torches, flint and steel, and weapons are first on the list.

Jimmy–  All checked off.  Not sure if they go under clothes, but I have some cloaks for rain.

Bart–  Good idea.  Each of us should take two signal flares in case we get separated.

Jimmy–  Only have two left, so one each.  I’ve got a map

Bart– Excel . . . How do you have a map?  This is uncharted territory.

Jimmy– It’s uncharted, but not unmapped.

Bart–  I think uncharted means it has never been explored and mapped out.

Jimmy–  But the guy next door swore this was legit.

Bart–  Let me look at it.  This is a map to the amusement park we wanted to visit, but never got around to doing it.

Jimmy–  Shame it got shut down over bad food.

Bart–  Well, they shouldn’t have let a mad scientist be the cook.  I hear they’re still hunting down man-eating churros.  Refocus.  Compass and waterskins.  Can’t believe I almost forgot those.

Jimmy–  Big checks.  Maintenance sets for our gear too.

Bart–  Dragon musk.

Jimmy– Che . . . I don’t think we should bring it.

Bart–  Why not?  We could run into dragons out there.

Jimmy–  Yeah, but I’ve noticed a problem with the dragon musk.

Bart–  Explain.

Jimmy–  Well, a musk makes me think it would attract dragons.  It isn’t a repellant like the mosquito, bear, goblin, shark, and ex-lover stuff.

Bart–  They store just uses a different name.  Still smells horrible, so it has to work.

Jimmy–  Maybe, but I don’t think it works really well if it is a repellant.

Bart– Why?

Jimmy–  Because every time we use it, dragons show up and chase us.

Bart–  Fine.  We’ll leave it behind to test your theory.  What else is on the list?  Lucky charms . . . The cereal or actual magical charms.

Jimmy– Both.  I have Cinnamon Toast Crunch for you.

Bart–  Then, our gear is complete.  This will be an excellent adventure.  Time to dive into the unknown.

Jimmy–  I’ve got the map!

Bart–  Dammit, Jimmy.

    Hilarious! 😊😊😊😄😄 I would say that map is not legit! Yet in so many stories people have maps to what is supposedly uncharted territory!

  2. I loved it Charles. I also agree on the musk. I think they will be better off without it.
