Another Interesting Coworker...This One With a Dragon Fetish
The Stalker, written about in a previous post, is not the only, um, interesting, individual we've had come through our ranks.
Today, I will tell you of a true giant among men, a hero for our times, a man with a glorious destiny, and a really lame looking cloak(which management told him not to wear, cause it made him look like a hobbit. Well, actually, I told him it made him look like a hobbit, not management, but they still made him stop wearing it.) The Dragon Elf Lord.
The Dragon Elf Lord, or DEL from now on, did not call himself that. He did, however, tell me that he was part Dragon and part Elf. Hence, Dragon Elf Lord. The DEF was obssessed with all things military, played live action roll playing games, was a self described Gorean, and believed that he and a select group of his friends, whom he called Guardians, were the chosen ones who would prevent the coming appocalypse.
The DEL, like the Stalker, also saw ghosts on a regular basis. Unlike the Stalker, however, who'se ghosts are the unobstrusive, causing flowery smells, leaving messages on mirrors, types, the DEL's ghosts were the Poltergeisty, throwing people across rooms, type.
Also, unlike The Stalker, who goes on about ghosts to anyone and everyone at the site, The DEL limited his tale of epic destiny to a select audience. Specifically, me. Because I mentioned early in his employment that I used to be into Aleister Crowley. Apparently, this made me more receptive in his eyes to his tales of magick and mayhem in Michigan. Never mind the fact that most of the so-called magick he described bore no resemblance whatsoever to either the classic grimoires, or the modern ceremonial tradition, and quite a bit of resemblance to Dungeons and Dragons, of which I only know what other geeks have gone on at length to me about. All the other employees just got earfuls about military technology and Buffy fanfic.
Anyway, he hasn't been with us for about two years now, but here's a summary of his wordview, the best I can recall it. In the beginning, a bunch of dragons got together with the Biblical God, and created the Earth. There has been a battle between good and evil ever since. Today, the battle is coming to a head, and a select group of people, called Guardians, will save the world from the coming demon invasion, by positioning themselves around 'hellgates'(at least a dozen of which are located right here in Michigan), and killing the demons as they come out.
There was a lot more to it, of course, but that's a good skeletal outline.
He also claimed to possess a collar, which he had made, which would turn anyone who wears it into his sexual slave.
He was eventually fired because no one could read his handwriting.
Dragon Elf Lord, we hardly knew ye.
