Fun Fact
Tumblr was named as a finalist in Lead411’s New York City Hot 125 in Aug 2010.

The rumbling sound of metal and scrap clashing against each other reached a new pitch, spurring a head to pop out of a mass of clothes and blankets in one quick motion, gopher style.
“Ughhhh...”
As if it wasn’t bad enough that the grogginess hitting him was completely on another level, today seemed to be some kind of garbage truck celebration parade to put salt on the wound. It also chose today of all times to collect every single trash in the neighborhood, which had accumulated right outside the window to his room.
“ahghghgh, I do not need this today...”
Normally Hagel would slam his head down again on the bed to reprieve his awakening, but the infernal noise outside wouldn’t go away like his grogginess, so with no choice he started to dress himself and prepare himself for another work day. With more groans and grumbling of course.
Just when he finished putting on mismatching socks and splashing his hair down, a new source of sound startled blasting in his rent room to commemorate the parting of the garbage truck. This being the song “Fantastic Baby” which was supposed to wake him up first, coming out of phone in his pocket, didn’t serve to help Hagel’s mood as he bumped his toe into his desk out of surprise.
“Bloody…”
Cursing, he turned it off and sighed as he took as an omen of today’s fortune.
About an hour later - or was it two since he started losing his perception of time - he found himself I front of his in a rather pitiful excuse of an office. Completely utilitarian, his office had nothing for décor other than a small fern on top of a shelf with no access to sunlight. Walls were as drab as wood could ever be and the carpet was rough fur, creating something of an uncomfortable workplace, which is elaborated in Hagel’s desk full of piling paperwork and ancient relics. For a computing company to give 1990’s technology to an employee was ironic and sad enough, though Hagel was a student paid intern which probably explained his attitude.
“Hey Hagel, you doing all right?”
Hagel turn around to face Hank, his ever so curious co-intern on his right.
“Hmm? Oh, yeah! I’m totes fine!” Hagel chirped while hoping his face was constituting a weak smile.
“Really? Cause after last week I thought you’d want to take a breather…” Hank muttered while looking at his screen. “Then again you did use up all of your break days right? That must suck, having to work for the rest of year and trying to find a way to pay all of the damages.”
“Haha, right…yeah I’ll think of something for that bill I guess” said Hagel as he turned around to focus on his work. Which was impossible. A myriad of flashbacks to yesterday was running in his head and now he felt like smashing his head on his desk, which would probably break it considering how poor quality it was.
Yesterday. He had accidentally broken one of his co-op term companies’ printer equipment by spilling coffee on it and they were now making him pay for it, and it was twice more than whatever amount his co-op was contributing towards his ever-growing college tuition. Now that he had time to focus on that now, he was feeling incredible self-pity. He didn’t know how to pay it back other than take out a loan and that was a stressful option for him right now, considering he had already taken out several loans and was currently right in the middle of exam season. This was bad. And Horrible. And he felt like giving up now that reality was on his tail now.
Hagel tried to get his thoughts in order and do something productive but ended up staring at his screen until lunch break came. At least Company sandwiches were free, albeit very small. As the petite subs were passed around, Hagel bit into one absentmindedly.
Strange, there was no taste.
They ended up in the trash can while Hagel just pretended to something on the keyboard. His mind was all over the place and he was quite close to actually resting his head on something, until he looked up and…
A panda was looking down on him.

“The fudge?”
Hagel didn’t think anything could snap him out of his perpetual misery so suddenly, but turns out a giant panda looming over you can really distract you quite hard.
It was a little small for a panda, but even in its slouching form it had an imposing figure on Hagel. Something about it looked a bit off though, with soft looking claws and exaggerated head and eye features.
What followed next was a very awkward period as each of them stared into each other’s lifeless eyes, waiting for the other to make the next move, while everyone around them was so busy on their internship work that they were oblivious to the giant panda in the room.
After a moment that felt like a dreadful hour, Hagel let out a stupefied “Hi?”
As if on cue, the panda suddenly pushed all of Hagel’s paperwork in one motion to the side, pausing to give Hagel what seemed like an insufferably smug look before trashing his computer to the ground in cartoonish fashion.
Paralyzed in shock, Hagel wondered if he was having some sort of fever dream born out depression, which didn’t last long as the sound of the boxy computer crashing had everyone’s head in the room turning his way. Hank flipped out of his chair, the inept manager reached for the fire extinguisher while everyone scrambled get into the manager’s quarters to get out of harm’s way as the panda started jumping up and splitting Hagel’s and Hank’s desks in half.
After satisfying his bloodlust against mediocre office furniture, the panda’s head whisked up as if he remembered why he invaded the office space, proceeding to take advantage of the chaos and grabbing onto Hagel and flinging him over his shoulders like a bag of potatoes.
“WHA- Hey lemme go yo-” yelped Hagel, stopping midcry immediately when the strongest axe cologne he had ever smelled registered in his brain, spurring a face of repulsion at both the smell and the realization of who exactly was kidnapping him.
The manager stumbled out of his quarters finally having triumphed in opening the extinguisher case, only to see nothing in the room. Later when reviewing the footage of their cameras the staff would learn that the panda jumped out of the window in an incredulous manner.

“The heck were you thinking?!” cried Hagel as he tried to catch his breath. “You can’t just…..DO THAT MAGNUS!”
The recipient of his words didn’t seem to hear his words as he chugged down a bottle of water in the midst of his sweating, axe smelling panda body. Panda costume body without the head to be accurate.
Following another bout of panting and wiping flushed faces, the man in the panda costume regained his composure and…
“HAHAHHAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAA! Oh my gosh! You should’ve seen your manager’s bloodshot eyes widen when he saw me trashing your desk! This is freaking gold! AHAHAHAHA!”, exclaimed Magnus, earning looks from the librarian and a few students studying in the university library.
“Stop that! It’s not funny! Now I’m going to get in trouble and….” Hagel stopped himself as the image of his crappy boss having a bad day flashed through his mind. “Okay, so maybe it is a little bit funny, but don’t do that again” said Hagel reluctantly with a sheepish smile.
Magnus grinned, changing into some casual clothes, much to the chagrin of a female student a few tables over. “Ha! That’s good to hear Hagel old buddy! Looks like phase one is a success! I knew it was right to skip baseball practice for this today!”
“First off, I’m the same age as you. Secondly, why did you bring me to the library? Actually, why did you do any of this?” questioned Hagel, lowering his voice and averting his eyes from the glaring librarian in the corner.
“hmmm, to start, this is actually Royal’s idea. You looked pretty down yesterday, so the gang cooked up a surprise to cheer you up a little! I, being the only jock there is, volunteered to drag you all the way here in an entertaining manner while the other two got ready. Personally, I think what I did was the best thing ever to happen to you this year, but whatever.” Answered Magnus, smirking as he sprayed himself with more axe than was probably necessary.
Hagel’s jaw dropped open as he took all of that just in.
“Oh, huh, seriously?” Hagel asked with a blank look on his face.
“Yes! I mean, you looked really worse for wear yesterday and we were all worried since we hadn’t seen in a while. I thought you dead, y’know, being exam season and all.” Magnus told him
“huh, I don’t know what to say…” Hagel blurted, as his mind still kept wandering to his current predicament concerning an office disaster.
“Well, no need to since phase two is starting” said Magnus nonchalantly.
“What?” asked Hagel as a shadow loomed over him.

Hagel turned around to face the ominous shadow, instead witnessing the tackiest, green and fanciful outfit he’d ever seen on his friend.
“Alivio, what…is that you’re wearing?” asked Hagel as he subconsciously took a step back from the girl with the most eager look on her face.
“Tis I, dear companion, as I descend unto thee with news of goodness and salvation!” Alivio joyfully cried into her mouthpiece, “For I have prepared only the sweetest of syrupy like words to soothe your ears and the most cryptic of riddles to amuse your mind!”
The soundwaves of her voice carried itself out through the entire library structure and then some more back as it reverberated, causing some glass to shiver here and there.
“OW! Why are you using a wireless mic? And why is it so loud, I almost lost my hearing!” declared Hagel, clutching his ears with his hands, “And could you stop spouting nonsense again? I can never understand what you’re saying when you’re like this”
“Oh my, would it kill you to try being more cordial? I presume, nay assume that you’ve been avoiding us all this time. Oh how pitiful, a man driven by rage and passion…” lamented Alivio
“More like depression” chipped in Magnus
“Whatever happened to cheering me up?” grumbled Hagel
“But worry not! Poetry is the best remedy for an aching soul, and I have taken upon myself to connect my mouthpiece to every speaker in the library so that all shall hear the spoken word of fulfillment in these trying times” burst Alivio, a serious look on her suggesting that perhaps she actually connected every speaker.
“Hush, the red-lipped chameleon bloomed, silent, and eloquent. Tis now has now turned into the hollowed, the red-eyed zombie drifted, empty, and wandering. A countenance, slickened by tears. Not that I’m criticizing thine woes. Such is the time of exam sessions when none can sit on the lap of luxury.” Vociferated Alivio with powerful conviction.
Hagel could still not tell what she was saying, besides from the poetic jargon, most of the echoes and feedback loops had everyone else evacuate the building. And this session went for 4 whole minutes, with the most fervor Hagel had ever seen in Alivio as she whipped out her book of pre-written nonsense and kept reciting her thoughts and best wishes for Hagel’s well being, at least, that what he thought he was hearing.
“Pray tell, hapless sir, has it been 5 minutes already? It seems that I’ve reached the end of my role, as all the world’s a stage, and I have emptied my heart and soul into it!” continued Alivio. “Say, what’d you think? Pretty invigorating right?”
After a moment’s hesitation, Hagel answered, “I somehow feel more tired, but I really appreciated you trying to help with…the utmost poetic passion you had”
“I’m afraid thou feels fear, for you can’t write poetry this fabulous! Saying it out loud causes my gears to quiver ever so slightly, but this is of the spoken word is by one of the professionally unemployed! At your service! Now for an encore!”
Quaking footsteps rippled on the hard floor near the Hagel’s group, prompting a look around.
The elderly librarian was storming her way to where Hagel and friend’s position were with a murderous face.
“Oh alas, it seems we can’t be here for too long! That foul beast of a woman is coming to strain my genius! Quick lend your ears to me as I part these last words of piety unto thou! I shall-”
They all got kicked out of the library.
Man, that librarian was stronger than she looked, punting Magnus’s bottom on the way out in conjunction with hurling both Hagel and Alivio with one coarse fist into the deep-water fountain in front of the library.
Drying themselves off at a nearby bench, they couldn’t help but laugh at how silly everything was, and although Hagel felt quite dumbfounded by his friends’ weird antics, their company was, fulfilling in a way.

“You sure this is the phase three you guys brought up?” inquired Hagel, unusually energetic now that weather was helping dry off the rest of his wet clothes.
“Indeed! Her commands were to try to find a big crowd as we’re walking along Main Mall” chirped Alivio
Royal certainly wasn’t joking when she said to look for a large crowd, Hagel thought, as he peered over the vast crowd of student onlookers focused on some music radiating from the center of a large plaza in the main mall.
“Here! She got us V.I.P. seats!” uttered Magnus, gesturing at them to go deeper in the plaza to see the center of attention from a pair of chairs with the amigos’ initials. Once they sat down Hagel nervously turned his attention to the spotlight enveloping a drum set and a solo drummer. As always, Royal had her swag fashion and ray shades, and was practicing some rhythmic taps for this occasion. Once Magnus waved to get her attention, Royal picked up a nearby microphone and got to work.
“Alright everyone! You’ve been seeing me practice some solos on the drum today and stuck by, but the main course starts right now! And this one goes to a special friend of mine, my boy Hagel Einswarth, who has a fondness for the feature song, Fantastic Baby!” shouted Royal, making Hagel’s face flush red with all the sudden attention he was receiving from all sides. “Haha, I’d better start before I embarrass him too much though! Alright, lets do this!” chuckled Royal
The bass started blasting. The crowd had gone silent. And Royal put on her earphones, getting into the mood.
And then she started playing. Hagel listened with his friends on either side of him.
It was beautiful.
The music, the rhythm, and the passion. Hagel looked on as Royal played with the confidence of a pro drummers, as Magnus and Alivio cheered on, and felt the song vibrate around him. He felt cathartic like some knot in his body had freed itself. From the exhilaration of the panda heist, the zaniness of poetry, and the sparks of notes ringing in the air in harmony, Hagel hadn’t felt this good in a long time.
So, he embraced it all in, unable to stop smiling even after the wondrous solo had met its thunderous applause.

Next morning came in a flash after partying it up with his three friends in comradery. This time, the tune of Fantastic Baby played its way from an acceptable volume in the gentle sunlight as it woke Hagel up this time. Turning it off, Hagel reflexed his muscles and opened his eyes, feeling no grogginess and well-rested. Weird.
Since he was a lot better than 12 hours ago, he lit up the room with some blinds opening. The gentle sunlight changed into a cascading wave of bright light that spread throughout the room. This looked better honestly.
At work, he didn’t have any problems either, having resolved his printer struggle with his incompetent manager as well by blaming on the mysterious panda that could not be tracked down at all. Life still wasn’t with it being exam season and the size of the sandwiches in the perpetual bite size range. As he proceeded to take a bite out of one right now, Hagel experienced a myriad of tastes and wonders. Slightly perplexed, Hagel stared at the sandwich.
Had sandwiches always tasted this good?
