Siegfried Posted December 21, 2009 Posted December 21, 2009 Many died slowly as they sank in quicksand, some stepped onto mud slides where they slid to their deaths over ravines, while others were captured and tortured by local Indian tribes. :skull: So there's no stories of any other types of danger? For example, monsters or evil spirits?
Dannylonglegs Posted December 21, 2009 Posted December 21, 2009 So there's no stories of any other types of danger? For example, monsters or evil spirits? I thought that I heard tales of that type on the Discovery Program my husband and I watched. *I Try to remember any tales of that like I heard*
Peppermint_M Posted December 21, 2009 Posted December 21, 2009 *Urgent aside to Zachary* They took my knife,*slight panic* I take it everywhere! *Smooths locket nervously* It's nice to coming here, Grandma had a trip here last lunar eclipse. Always told me stories even if she was batty as belfry.
Stash2Sixx Posted December 21, 2009 Posted December 21, 2009 Hey Jocko Johnson, or whatever your name is...get on with the tour already. Me and Pops here paid good money for this trip. If I wanted to see people fight, I could've stayed home and watched Springer! When we get up and leave, I want to thank Hector for driving, and then try to pickpocket him so I can steal his lil bag of "Hippy Happiness."
Shadows Posted December 21, 2009 Posted December 21, 2009 I have padlocked all of the knifes away in the weapons locker in the luggage compartment of the bus where they will stay for the duration of the tour. Yeah yeah, big man. It was a small part of the notorious French penal colony in French Guiana. Good thing or Skippy the Security wannabe over there might have tried taking something else off us. However, some say that there are treasures to still be discovered within these dense jungles, like pearls of priceless value. Ah, treasure, now that's worth discussing. Tell us more about the treasures!
I Scream Clone Posted December 21, 2009 Posted December 21, 2009 I hope there's enough seats on the bus for all of us. I just went through a painful personal life experience and I'm not sitting on anyone's Lapp. Me too, what are the chances? I wonder if we are somehow linked? Strange I don't remember you, maybe its the hair colour... Please remember the following items are not allowed: Children*[/i] Starts throwing childrens out the door, get outta here. It was a small part of the notorious French penal colony in French Guiana. Well they obviously had no use for Penals in France then. Lucky for us, we know a safe route. Is this safe route reliant on your memory or poorly placed sign posts that could easily be moved by local inhabitants or feisty jaguars? Any one got any Tang for this 1 hour bus trip?
iamded Posted December 21, 2009 Posted December 21, 2009 My, my, the history of this place certainly sounds exciting! My husband and I met a nice young person while on vacation to the Stonehenge who recommended Phasma Diabolus. I've heard some odd stories about what happens during the solar eclipse, I don't suppose anyone else has? Tries to recount the odd stories.
MagPiesRUs Posted December 21, 2009 Posted December 21, 2009 My, my, the history of this place certainly sounds exciting! My husband and I met a nice young person while on vacation to the Stonehenge who recommended Phasma Diabolus. I've heard some odd stories about what happens during the solar eclipse, I don't suppose anyone else has? Indeed we did, and what jolly fun that was. It's quite fascinating really. Over there I learned that Stonehenge may have been used to predict eclipses back in the day. You see, it's all to do with a ring of holes around the actual stones. Then, you get four markers - one for the moon, one for the sun, and two to represent the eclipse nodes. Now, there's 56 of these holes around the stones, and on summer solstice, you take the sun marker and you- Damn it, where'd my switchblade go? I carry that thing with me at all times. How else do you think I keep my hair in such magnificent shape?
The Crazy One Posted December 21, 2009 Posted December 21, 2009 Well, this place certainly looks interesting. The history of it is very interesting. I heard some thing about wild animals around here, and lots of tourist going missing, but you know, that sort of stuff is nonesense.... Note to self: I'm afraid I cannot deny I have a chill running up my back.... Treasures in this island eh? Now I will like that! Note to self: Haha, no way, they didn't get my knife. Hah hah. I'm good, hiding it in my shoe.
WesternOutlaw Posted December 21, 2009 Posted December 21, 2009 So there's no stories of any other types of danger? For example, monsters or evil spirits? Then there's the stories about the ruins of Phasma Diabolus or "Demon Spirit". Whenever there is a lunar eclipse over Devil’s Island, strange noises and shapes are reported in the jungle surrounding the ancient temple. I will tell you more of these stories as we get closer. Hector believes in these stories, and WE don't want to scare him now, do we? The last thing we want is for our bus to go over the side of a cliff.
The Crazy One Posted December 21, 2009 Posted December 21, 2009 Damn, he just went and took my knife. I should be more careful when smuggling things. Hmm....That Demon thing sounds like bull if you ask me. I don't think theres going to be any type of crazy stuff going on here. I shiver as I remember the shade on my dock.....

In my experience even if there is no harm from the eclipse itself, many people over-react when they happen, so it'd be handy to know, for my sake and the rest of the group.
Ricecracker Posted December 21, 2009 Posted December 21, 2009 Me and Pops here paid good money for this trip. If I wanted to see people fight, I could've stayed home and watched Springer! Yes, yes we did. And your mother didn't pay a cent for it... Mr. Tourguideman, could you please get on with our tour? I think we all just want to see the eclipse, ooh and ahh, hear scary stories and then leave.
fallentomato Posted December 21, 2009 Posted December 21, 2009 Could you at least tell me if an eclipse is due any time soon? In my experience even if there is no harm from the eclipse itself, many people over-react when they happen, so it'd be handy to know, for my sake and the rest of the group. There is a lunar eclipse happening tonight. That's the whole reason we're doing the tour today! I know that and I'm just the security guard. You're right though, people do tend to act funny during eclipses. But if we all stay calm and stick together, everything should be fine. Note to self: Redhead has no respect for authority and seems easily distracted.
Peppermint_M Posted December 21, 2009 Posted December 21, 2009 Grandma came here decades ago, she would tell us the story every time we went to vist. She said there were monster demons that carried off members of her group... Pretty creepy stuff, came out when the moon went red...

Okay the moon goes red, big deal, some people just get a little odd when the moon plays up. I am sure (( no offense to your grand-ma )) that her stories are greatly exaggerated. It's fun to an extent, but sometimes it just gets silly. I know there is something odd here.......must put on a brave face.......don't want it getting to me......
I Scream Clone Posted December 21, 2009 Posted December 21, 2009 This aint no cheap tour is it? I dont want to be handed 'rose coloured glasses' and told to look at the red moon! This better be the real deal.
The Crazy One Posted December 21, 2009 Posted December 21, 2009 This aint no cheap tour is it? I dont want to be handed 'rose coloured glasses' and told to look at the red moon! This better be the real deal. Haha, let's hope so.

Do tell me more, this is very fascinating stuff, just the kind I need for my comic book.
JimBee Posted December 21, 2009 Posted December 21, 2009 Well dude, with this lightning storm, it could take a while. We have to make it to the ferry and from the harbor to the temple. About an hour I guess. It's 9pm now. The eclipse is supposed to start at midnight. I do hope it clears up by then. No point in paying so much money for the eclipse tour if there's no eclipse. Well, maybe we just can't see it. If it's cloudy, does the eclipse still happen?? Eh? Boy, don't you worry. You've got an experienced sailor here. Two if that other one... Charlie? Pulls himself together. Back in my day, we didn't have any cowards like that'n. Devil's Island is a most remote and dangerous place. The dense jungles nearby are filled with quick sand and the waters that guard it are infested with sharks. Lucky for us, we know a safe route. That's reassuring, eh? You best not be telling lies, boy. Ah, treasure, now that's worth discussing. Tell us more about the treasures! Ehhhhh... I don't wanna hear one word about diamonds or rubies out of your mouth, you little hooligan.

Back in my day, we didn't have any cowards like that'n. If you are refering to me then you are mistaken. I am not a coward, but I expect even the bravest man would get a chill if a shade turns up on your dock, and ki........I won't go into that. Strange things happened there, and I am going to let it out, I have my doubts about all of us returning! Sorry, I am being irrational, we are all going to return, there are just some silly myths going round these days.
WesternOutlaw Posted December 21, 2009 Posted December 21, 2009 Ungrateful tourists! Could you at least tell me... so it'd be handy to know, for my sake and the rest of the group. Mr. Tourguideman, could you please get on with our tour? This aint no cheap tour is it? Here at MOTEE Tours, our customers come first. If memory serves me correct, you purchased the El Cheapo Eclipse Deluxe Package. What more do you want? - you're lucky this bus even runs cheap wad. We'll now be making a short pitstop at the nearest rest stop (quicksand pit) for any of you who might want to stretch your legs (get off this bus and try calling the 1-800-MOTEE Customer Care Line and hope they answer). That's reassuring, eh? You best not be telling lies, boy. (Puts down microphone and walks over to Jack nonchalantly) You call me boy one more time BOY, and this here cowboy hat comes back on right before I pistol whip you. Put that in your book of complaints and we'll throw it in the river along with anyone else who thinks about giv'n me hell over this dang eclipse tour. That'll be enough from all of you. (spits some tobacco on floor) I'll take one more question now...
Peppermint_M Posted December 21, 2009 Posted December 21, 2009 Oh really? Do tell me more, this is very fascinating stuff, just the kind I need for my comic book. Well, she told us that as the moon got redder howls came from the trees, all the guides ran away. The shadows...moved and people disappeared only to be found dead if at all...She never went into to much detail, gives me the shivers just thinking about it. *smooths locket between thumb and forefinger* That's all she really said to me about it, I think she lost someone that day and didn't like to go into detail.

(spits some tobacco on floor) I'll take one more question now... Bo-ay! I'll call you what you want, and you'll show me some respect! I was fighting in Vietnam before your mother was born, so I'd be a little more grateful. Pistol whip me, and you'll never see that hand again. What happened to contraband? And keep that wad of gum in your mouth before it ends up jammed in your eye socket. Hm! Youngsters these days... no respect all, nuh'n. The only reason I'm puttin' up with you is b'cause... is b'cause... well, that ain't none of you're n' business.

You know that you are going to have to rely on him to get us through safely with his expert knowledge of this place. Even the bravest man knows when he is not brave enough.
