Jill and Kirsten came up around 5ish, and Mark, Larry, and Tom showed up about an hour later. I was expecting one or two more people, but it was actually nicer to have a small crew.

I started this story a while back, I thought  it sucked at the time, but after re-reading it, it seems like it might have some potential. This is just the introduction, but as usual, i'm putting it here to save it.
