@TheMadAsshatterWe have this problem where one of us gets convinced that we enjoy MMOs because we played an ungodly amount of WOW back in the day. He was trying to convince me to drop some dosh on Elder Scrolls Online, and since I know we tend to burn out pretty quickly I was able to make him compromise with me and we ended up playing the free Neverwinter MMO.

Which doesn't seem too great.

You ever play the old Balder's Gate for Playstation? My roommate had it, and we played that game into the ground. We had a dwarf that was crap at everything but constitution that we used as a pack mule, then we had an elf with nothing but charisma in order to sell all of the crap we collected in the dungeon. Good times.

The best was when we kept loading a character, giving the other player the most super-duper item ever, then re-loading them and doing it again. We had an inventory FULL of these black obsidian swords that we then used to get more gold than the game engine allowed.

We also capped out our characters and found that if you jumped you could go just a TEENY TINY bit faster. Then we went through the game as far as we could without any armor or equipment. So for like 8 levels we were skipping (literally) around wearing just loin clothes and gauntlets and punching baddies to death. Good (and very stupid) times.

I think Yaz should go bananas at being startled awake like that. Like, "Aaaa! Rend no!!!" Then punches through the wall, Benji opens the door wielding a sword thinking that Rend has come to finish the job so he is ready for a fight. There's more screaming. Owen comes to look in, but Benji thinks it's Rend behind him and suddenly swings at him. Owen busts out his well hidden but mad kung-fu skills and lays into Benji. Benji goes defensive and starts whaling on Owen to get him off. Yaz is still screaming this time trying to get them to stop, but Thalia only hears "No! Stop! Stop it!" Thalia gets her kickass on and races to help, only to see Yaz physically hauling Benji off of Owen and slamming him into a wall. Thinking this has something to do with the death pact earlier, she kicks the tech in the face. Yaz, gets pissed off, thinking that it was uncalled for in her attempt to break up a fight and goes retaliatory on Thalia. Owen, knowing Yaz's strength, tries to dissuaide her to get her to think more clearly, Yaz interprets this as an attack... as does Benji when he sees Thalia ganging up with Owen on his former would-be girlfriend. Then it turns into a free-for-all with everybody attacking everybody else.

Then a smash-cut, everybody is sitting in the kitchen bloodied, bruised, panting, and rather pissed off. Benji glares at the rest of the group, and heads for the door, "Like I said, don't wait up for Echo."

@Deserted writing now.

@Atrophy and I are working on a collab right now. So keep a heads up for that.

@TheMadAsshatter You're up!

Hey ya'll, I got a quick heads-up! I'm going to be doing some European vacationing from March 7th to the 14th, so I'm probably going to be pretty limited when it comes to checking on the site and working on posts. I trust ya'll, so if you need to use Owen to move a post along then you are more than welcome to borrow him.

@beyond visions Give me until tomorrow, please. I ran out of money a little quickly this paycheck, and my ISP cut my internet until I can start paying for it (no penalties though, thank god.) I'll be back on my computer tomorrow. Until then, there's no fucking way I'm going to type up a long-ass post on my phone.

@TheMadAsshatter Oh my gosh, thank you for telling me. But hey, I'm ready to read your post, it is always the height of my day to do so, seriously.

Does SherriffLlama need to go first and the other 3 start a co-op post?

@Deserted Well, I wanted to give Asshat a chance to post first because we don't know if Tahlia would even want to follow in Benji's plan or if she would just walk off completely with what he just did to Owen. After Asshat, SherriffLlama will definitely get a chance to post.

@SheriffLlama I promise I am not rushing you, just curious, when do you think you will post for Yaz? Are you busy anytime soon? If so, I could totally rewrite my post saying that Yaz walked out with Tahlia, leaving Benji alone to interrogate Echo.

@beyond visionsi have a day off today so I'll write it up today

Owen's face completely got slammed out against the window, so he's probably a little dazed right now. He most likely has a concussion, which is good for you, @Atrophy since you said your going to be vacationing pretty soon. So in the meantime, Owen can lay in the med-bay and rest. So if you are cool with Owen having a concussion, let me know.

@TheMadAsshatter Do you want to go next? Like I said, Owen's dazed and even if he were to go next I figured there would not be much for him to do right now. But as for Tahlia, I'm sure she's pissed, or really more pissed.

@beyond visionsWorks for me.

@TheMadAsshatter You good to go next? @Atrophy said that he cannot post from March 7th to the 14th? If you are busy right now, that is okay, we'll wait, just let me know when you think you could get the post out.

@beyond visions I can get a post up. Just trying to think of how, exactly, Tahlia would react.

Just have her act like one of those bumpkins in a bar or something where the message she is trying to say is lost in the volumes of curses.

"Well bleepity bleep bleep bleepin bleeper bleep-bleep! This bleep bleeping bleep totally bleep bleep bleep bleepin bleep could you? I mean bleep, bleep bleep bleepin bleep bleep-bleeper bleepin bleeping bleeper, Benji!"

Everybody is like "Were you actually meaning to SAY something, because we knew you were mad just from the look on your face."

And I'm back (after many delays)!

Snowstorms in March. F'ing America, why'd we move here?

@Deserted@TheMadAsshatter@SheriffLlama Alright, the last post submitted sets the table for a collab between Tahlia, Yaz, and Echo. I am particularly thrilled for this one, I really want to know what will Echo do, tell the truth or falsely admit to helping Rend escape, not sure why she would do that unless she wanted to die or she had some trick up her sleeve.

@Atrophy Welcome back! Owen's all concussed now, but this could definitely take some interesting turns.
