Stygian, Bob and Blackout are
farming mobs in a zone called the Volcanic Wastes. Blackout casts a spell that
causes the three fire imps charging him to fade out of existence. “How come
we’re farming for cash here instead of the Temple Flats?” He asked.
Stygian easily finished off the
last group of enemies with a single swing of his absolutely massive sword. “Did
you not read the patch notes?” Blackout shook his head. “From now on your first
death has a ten minute re-spawn timer and starts a one hour clock. If you die
again in that hour your re-spawn is a half hour and the clock resets back to an
hour. Third death earns you a twenty four hour re-spawn delay.” Stygian
explained.
Blackout grimaced. “Lemmie guess,
the next day they hour timer resets and if you die a fourth time they send
someone to your home to kick you in the balls?” He said as he and Stygian fist
bumped.
Torcano appeared in the zone and
ran over to his friends. “I made it! I’m a GM!” He shouted.
Blackout and Stygian met Torcano
halfway. Bob finished off the mob’s she was fighting and joined them. “Grats.
You’re ‘the man’ now dog.” She deadpanned.
Torcano looked a little down.
“Come on Bob this is a good thing, don’t be like that. I’m gonna get paid to
play the game!” Torcano leapt into the air, unable to control his excitement.
Bob was still unimpressed. “And
police the player base.” She reminded him.
Torcano nodded. “You have to
admit, most of the players could you some policing. If I see another 'SukmeyeByall’s' I’m gonna scream.”
Stygian pointed at Torcano while
talking to Bob. “Man’s got a point.”
Bob shook her head. “Whatever.”
She replied turning and walking away.
“When do you start?” She heard
Stygian ask.
“And what do you do when you’re
not actively helping players?” Blackout asked before she was out of earshot.
She looked around the empty
Volcanic Wastelands waiting for a mob to spawn. Volnado appeared instead. “So
your brother made it, he’s a full time tool now.” She nearly spat at him.
Volando looks out in the same
direction as Bob. “Guess you wouldn’t be happy for me if I told you that I made
it as well.” He replied.
Bob shrugged her shoulders “I
should be happy for you, it’s what you both wanted.”
Volnado nodded. “And your only
annoyed with Torcano, It’s totally fine if I become a tool?” He asked.
Bob sat down on the ground.
“Yeah, no, I don’t know. Look, why don’t you go celebrate with the others?” She
sighed.
Volnado shook his head. “We were
supposed to tell everyone together, but he couldn’t wait.” Volnado looked back
at his brother horsing around the Stygian and Blackout. “Just another example
of him being an attention whore.”
Bob looked back over her shoulder
at Torcano. “Don’t take it personally. His awareness of the world doesn’t
extend much past his own nose.” She turned away from her friends.
Volnado nodded. “Trust me, I’ve
noticed.”
“Go steal some of his thunder.
You deserve to celebrate with them just as much as he does.” She said just
before fading out of the game.
