If you are wondering if I've dropped off the face of the earth or something then you are correct. After falling for something like five hours I splashed down into a large body of water. I lost consciousness from the impact and woke up alone on a deserted island. Strangely enough, the island had a manhole. I tried my damnedest but couldn't get the manhole cover to budge. Then, to my surprise, shortly after giving up I heard noise coming up from beneath the manhole cover. The cover then began to rise up before my eyes and small hands appeared around its circumference. The manhole cover was cast aside and a gnome emerged from the depths.
Thankfully, he had a bong and we took turns hitting it before he led me down into the manhole. We boarded a raft that took us through the sewer system and into an underground cavern. The cavern narrowed at one end and we were forced to abandon the raft near a raging waterfall and climb down a rock face to a small village where they fed me at let me play their XBox. Over the next few weeks I became quite proficient at both Halo 2 and Star Wars Battlefront 2. I own with the sniper.
In the end, there was an argument about rent and cleaning responsibilities and I was forced to leave the village. The gnome the had rescued me led me to a ladder. It took me almost three weeks to climb up to the top where a manhole led back to the face of the earth. I emerged in downtown Ashland and went immediately to work to explain my absence.
So if you are ever in downtown Ashland, you should definitely open up that manhole.
