so this guy on intsa, he was like in late-ish adulthood told this absolutely insane story from when he was a young adult. so he and his buddy, Brian wanted to become vampires after watch this Brad Pitt movie called interview with vampires I guess, so they were like always doing this vampy-aura and allat. so he worked at dunking donuts and after saving enough money this guy and Brian went to Romania to become vampires. okay so they went to Hungary and went on a train to Romania, mind you this was before cell phones, GPS, and internet as we know it today. okay so they were like hanging 'round and stuff looking for a place to stay and they come across this little girl who was like I know a place you can stay and she took them to this place. the two guys were like we wanna become vampires and 'coincidentally', this girl knew just the person who knows another person who could help these fellas with zero self-preservation skills. the next day, the girl produces this nun, who's like a man with a beard. this man nun claims to know a vampire. the four get on a train and reach a random small town where they meet this guy who can take them to the vampire/or was a vampire apparently, can't recall. but he looked less like brad pitt and more like nosferatu so ron and Brian were like, nevermind, we don't wanna become vampires anymore. the nosferatu guy left but the girl and the man-nun were like you have wasted our time, we need some recompensation and shit. so the girl was like okay let's go to my grandma's house, she has a pool and all, we can hang out there. and, I kid you not, these two Americans thought it was very normal and on the train they went. while on the train, their stuff slowly began to get missing. mostly Brian's stuff (watch, t-shirt, and sunglasses). but the guys were like huh weird, what now. but then this girl and the man-nun were sleeping when two Australian tourists motioned them to run away like asap. so the americans followed the australian dudes to a different part of the train the aussies were like man we heard that if a girl and nun claim to take you to their grandma's house, don't go with them cause it's like a scam and they will either rob you or sell you or something (very surprising innit?) and the guys were like uh huh we gotta run (HOW DID YOU NOT REALISE BEFOREHAND), but ron was very scared cause the nun was "the biggest human he saw" and knew couldn't outrun her. so the four decided to jump out of the running train after the next station. so the aussies jumped, and by the time the nun realised that they were running away and came after them, but one of the american guys jumped off last minute, leaving the devasted nun (and th girl) behind on the train. the tourists found themselves at an abandoned train station, where they recorded their whole experience. but suddenly, ron began to feel hella sick and his stomach started killing him, so the guys parted ways with the australians and hopped on a train in search of a hospital. ron was in a hella bad condition and they found this...hospital with literally bloody sheets and sharp...objects hanging from the ceiling (like you see in movies). the doctor came in and was like you have a ruptured appendix and I'll do a surgery immediately, but I need visas. but the guys did not have visas (ig americans don't need one? idk) so he demanded $60,000 or threatened to call the military. the guys were in deep shit, cause they didn't have money or visas. meanwhile Brian disappears ans ron thinks he's gonna die, then Brian returns and he's like bro we gotta escape, this place ain't allat okay, there are freshly dug unmarked graves behind the shack. we're near the border, so let's go to Hungary and a hospital there. so Brian took ron on his back and ran like hell and went on the train to Hungary. meanwhile ron felt much better and so they didn't go to a hospital in the country but decided to fly back home and get treatment. so ron and Brian parted ways, but I paris ron began to feel very sick again and shoved his bag in an airport locker and fainted. he woke up in a paris hospital later feeling awesome. the French doctor told him that he didn't have an appendix rupture but food poisoning which affected his lungs. before they went to meet the vampire, the nun force-fed the guys boiled rats, and while Brian threw up later, the gerbil gooliboolied inside Ron's guts, making him sick af. but since he felt better (not okay, but better), he took a flight to dc (didn't have money for north carolina) and his parents drove four hours to pick him and they immediately put him in an hospital. after sometime when ron was better, he saw Brian on CNN crying that "he had died" and assumed Brian thought he had died and he was like telling his parents. but it turns out Brian went to this bull race place (yk the one in ZNMD) where he met another american guy and they were doing that, but the other guy died. and ron was like "it was supposed to be me, I was supposed to be with brian". turns out that the curse of the Romanian rat saved him. needless to say Brian and ron are very good buddies still, and his parents forbade ron to go on crazy adventures OR work at dunkin's (not after no protests though) and we'll he became a teacher and he regularly goes on trips with his students, just not too crazy ones.
