DS (Devilspawn) lives on ....
Posted: Wed May 07, 2014 8:39 pm
I saw an old friend in the halls at work today that I hadn't seen in about 2 years. She worked with me when I was in a different division, and she told me that she always thinks of me whenever she hears someone talk about picking up someone at the airport.
I had told her my Devilspawn story of the first time I met him in RL.
DS and I had met on forums, and became friends, although we were opposites (he was a griefer and I was a goody two shoes ingame).
He and his dad flew down to Austin to stay at my house (along with 4 other players) when UO had its first UO worlds faire here in Austin in 1998 or 1999.
Anyways, I never asked him what his RL name was, so I show up at the airport with Princess Katie (she was about 7 at the time) to pick them up. So I write "DEVILSPAWN" on a piece of paper and hold it up at the escalator was people came into Austin.
I got some real odd looks from people as they went by, and one old lady even grabbed the cross around her neck and held it up to me as she walked by, with a dirty look on her face.
We stood there with 2 RL professional chaeuffers, who got a kick out of our sign too.
So I said "Katie, do you want to hold the sign for a bit?". She laughed and said NO WAY I see how people are looking at you.
So anyways DS showed up and he and his dad got a kick out of the sign too, and we went on to our house and had a blast that weekend.
So back to my RL friend at work. She said she remembered the story, but then realized that if DS was devilspawn, wouldn't that make his dad the devil himself?
ROFL I hadn't ever thought of that, but I guess she was right.
Anyways, I thought I would share that story here in case I hadn't before.
Proof that DS lives on in the RL stories of my friends that heard that story. My friend said she must have told the story to 20 or so of her relatives already. SO who knows how many people know DS now in RL because of that one story.
