Final Day's Questing.

And so the brave and gallant knights rode forth once more into the High Street for a final quest...

We finally got to wear our suits for the day's questing and I must say we looked very handsome. We had frequently hoped for rain whilst questing in order to explore the change in requests that we believed would occur and luckily on the final day our prayers were answered. Unfortunately, due to the heavy rain, the usual approach of engaging the public in light discussion about what we were doing was changed to:

'Hi-there-I'm-from-Exeter-University-I'm-studying-Drama-can-I-have-a-moment-of-your-t...'

before said member of the public walked off with an excuse like 'parking running out', 'late for a meeting' or simply 'no'.

Luckily for us, two young students from Exeter College stopped and gave us time enough to explain what we were doing and we got our first quest of the day. Much to our 'surprise', the quest involved the large umbrella over our heads. We were asked to give the two students shelter from the rain from opposite the Exeter Riddle Sculpture to the Exeter College building on Queen Street. The two students we silent for a good deal of the time but we did manage to get some information from them. For instance we found that they were studying music at college and were about to go into their final examinations which would involve a performance of a couple of songs by bands like Metallica and The Ramones. We arrived at the destination with our questees dry, much hand shaking occurred and we left with a sense of pride in a quest well done.

Having been thoroughly soaked and in need of a warm drink we decided to call it a day and head home. Wimps.

Final Thoughts:

It turns out that rain doesn't make people want to stop and talk to you. Funny that.
