Chapter thirteen: how Kropička disappeared

 

Translation:

  • Image one: We are really good. We play on festivals, we provide sound for festivals, we provide lights for festivals, we have a bus. Damn, we’re good.
  • Goro: Pedyk and Kropička will keep an eye on things! And go easy on the booze.
  • Kropička: I’m going home, I’m so sick.

And now for the narration.

 

Chapter 13 - HOW KROPIČKA DISAPPEARED

Continuation from the previous chapter:

It was a common practice on those festivals, where Tortharry were providing PA and sound services, to appoint two watchers who kept an eye on the equipment till the very morning. It was also a common practice that said watchers were often passing the time with various booze-related activities. On the Nuclear Storm festival, this task went to Kropička (the lights engineer and technician) and Pedyk (the sound engineer), which in itself was rather nonsensical, since both guys spent the whole day taking care of the light and sound, but anyway, after the festival was done, they stood guard over their equipment. Since the night was cold, both guys were drinking alternately beer and coffee with rum; a combination that proved fatal to Kropička, who does not drink coffee and never has. That nigh however each drank a whole bucket of it, resulting in Kropička getting very sick and disappearing into the dark during the early morning hours.

The year is (still) 1999.
