The Night Gamers Halloween

Hal­loween Night Gamers

Autumn finds the Night Gamers, Wilber and Orvil still enjoy­ing evenings in Man­hat­tan. At 4 AM or so while nav­i­gat­ing the streets a few feet above human eye level in early Octo­ber they dis­cov­ered the Hal­loween win­dow dis­play at For­bid­den Planet on Broad­way and 13th. They were ecsta­tic, zip­ping back and forth in front of the glass like giant bum­ble bees paus­ing for an instant in front of each one of the dozens of masks. A bewil­der­ing mix of grue­some and fun expres­sions in an end­less vari­ety of rub­bery good­ness, Franken­stein, Godzilla, Mickey, T2, Bill Clin­ton, gob­lins, ghosts and carved pump­kins galore . In the excite­ment of their find our trav­el­ers both began to glow with the color chang­ing effects they nor­mally exhibit when engrossed in gam­ing. And then the real dis­cov­ery was revealed to them by their reflec­tions in the win­dow. Wilber and Orvil’s faces morfed into the face of each mask they were think­ing of, as many as ten dif­fer­ent masks a minute. It would seem while tra­vers­ing the 30 sec­ond time shift from their par­al­lel uni­verse to ours, the mol­e­c­u­lar struc­ture of their bod­ies has become flex­i­ble, thus giv­ing them this new abil­ity with which they are delighted. Hal­loween became Wilber and Orvil’s most favorite hol­i­day, a shape shifters dream come true.

Night Gamers Reactors

Wilber and Orvil have left Man­hat­tan and are on their way north up the Hud­son river where they have stopped at the Indian Point nuclear power facil­ity. While gam­ing the boys fathers brain one night, they stum­bled upon a book he was read­ing about the thou­sands of UFO sight­ings reported over Indian Point begin­ning on New Years Eve 1982 and con­tin­u­ing thru 1986. They sim­ply could not resist this combo of two of their most favorite things, UFO’s and nuclear reac­tors. A big plus when play­ing in a nuclear power facil­ity, the Night Gamers are not harmed by radi­a­tion, it does how­ever cause tem­po­rary dra­matic color and shape changes to their plump lit­tle bod­ies, which of course they think is very cool.
