PART 1- A Journey Begins
----------
Herein begins a tale so harrowing, so exciting, so epic, that we suggest that pregnant women, children under 12 and anyone who sufferers from a heart condition not read on.
Our story begins in the east bay, with out Hero Ben, and our Heroine Kelly, rising at the crack of noon to journey into the mysterious and magical San Francisco to attempt to find the wild parrots of Telegraph Hill. I arrived at Kelly's, and after many false starts, and forced returns we finally made the arduous journey across the bay. However we were quickly greeted with many more obstacles. We arrived in Washington Square and entered Cafe Delucchi looking to find the Great Sage, who would direct us to the wild parrots. Unfortunately the Great Sage wasn't working, so instead we spoke to the Town Idiot.
“Wild Parrots around here? Huh? Is this an elaborate joke on me?� he said. Apparently our friend had never heard of these parrots. Thus, we began wandering Washington Square aimlessly. I juggled, hoping to pull off a little Skilltoy Supremacy, but was unable to draw a crowd. Although we were quite merry, we were no closer to completing any SF0 tasks. But instead of doing anything about it, we continued to wander the streets. Then, an epiphany! We returned to Cafe Delucchi to inquire about any nearby flower shops.
“Flower shops? Huh? What is this, an elaborate joke on me?� our idiot responded. Luckily, the other host informed us of a nearby shop where we purchased a lovely potted plant and decided to put it somewhere that had become close to our hearts... The Cafe Delucchi! We returned to what had quickly become home base and Kelly stealthily set the plant on the counter as she ordered a coffee.
“Huh? You want a Coffee at a coffee shop? Is this some sort of elaborate joke?�
“GODDAMMIT YOU FUCKING MORON! THIS IS A FUCKING COFFEE SHOP. FEED ME MY CAFFINE!!� roared Kelly, clearly tired from our early wake up. Taken aback, the fool behind the counter gave Kelly her coffee and we slyly slipped away, discreetly leaving the plant on the counter, with an attached card reading, “I am your new plant. Love me! Courtesy of SF0.org�. As we drove away, we could swear we heard the village idiot yelling, “A potted plant?! Huh? Is this some sort of elaborate joke....�
In a way, it sort of was. We had completed the Potted Plant Distribution and headed to the top of Telegraph Hill in further search of our elusive wild parrot.
