Today I'm going to paint you a picture with words... or at least I'll try!
T'was the crack of dawn when all was still and calm, birds chirping their beautiful song and the sun ever so slightly showing up on the horizon. At the house of the Tangerine man from the sky, this was not the case, as his three alarm devices were hard at work to remove him from his slumber. The battle was hard, but in the end the alarms won and the Tangerine man was awaken.
Although he was a Tangerine man(albeit from the sky), today he was also a sad man. In the day that had passed, his mind had been troubled, scenes of reminiscence filled his mind of his ingenuity in previous Lather Games, but all for naught, cause no matter the effort he put into devising a good plan, he came up short.
But they say, that the new day brings new hope. Indeed, this was one of those moments. After a hard fought battle with his the thunderous alarms, his mind was clear and he knew what he had to do. It was simple. He must go and shave in Turkey! Turkey? But isn't that another country? Why of course dear reader, and that's the beauty of it, the man from the sky that is a Tangerine wanted to be the first person to travel to another country to shave for the Lather Games. Has it been done already? Maybe. Did he care? Never!
It was decided he could combine a shopping trip, something he had been putting off for a while, with a shaving trip. And so it began, he gathered his shave gear, went into his 1988 Toyota Corolla and set off for his neighbouring country. The day was calm and peaceful which reflected on how intense the traffic was(it wasn't). For his pleasant surprise the border was almost empty so he wasted very little time passing through, being ever so closer to fulfilling his mission.
As with many things, the Tangerine sky is an experienced man, it was not his first venture into Turkey so while accustomed to the scenery, he once again yearned to feel all those wonderful adventures, aromas and cultural experiences .
While entering the city, our protagonist started planning WHERE exactly he could perform his shave. His first thought was the central mosque, the he came to the conclusion, that if he proceeded with such a plan, he'd be killed, prosecuted, raped and then imprisoned. So that plan quickly fell to pieces and he gave it some rest, because he knew when the moment was right, he would act upon it.
