Things We've Forgotten

Thanks to our recent reunion with long-lost guildies, it seems there have been some things we've forgotten over the course of their absence.

It came to light last night when we were running with Kruellah, dragging her through the Waterworks at break-neck speed, so that she could join the rest of the world in the areas of Stormreach beyond the Harbor. Most notably, the Marketplace.

We started our run being a bit chatty, but nothing (yet) that belongs in the pages behind the NC-17 sign.

Kru had questioned whether I remembered such conversations, and I replied simply that not only did I remember them, but that I missed them.

She thought that maybe I'd forgotten how... interesting... such conversations could become.

Certainly, I have not forgotten that.

I mean... The Main Vein...

And...

~other~ topics.

Always enjoyable!

But, apparently, there were other things we *had* forgotten.

We weren't long into second part of the four-part quest, when Kru noted how quiet the voice-chat had become.

Had we forgotten what it's like to conduct a completely random and unrelated discussion *while* we were slogging our way through quests we'd completed so many times that no one could count?

It seems we had.

Tanision even offered that we were simply concentrating on the encounter at hand.

True...

We were running the quest on Elite.

And Unarius, my new "pure class" Barbarian, had long since run out of healing potions. Meaning that Phrudin, Belzur's new lowbie Cleric, spent quite a few resources providing life support.

Which I have to reimburse him for.

Tan was also running his new lowbie Paladin, and Kru was running the latest version of Kruellah, also a Drow Paladin, like the original. They, too, were providing Unarius with life support, and they too, also deserve reimbursement for their efforts.

As soon as I log over to a character that has some cash on them.

So, there was a certain amount of concentration going on.

I was trying to do the proper amount of Barbarian zerging, without causing undo stress on the healers, but I wasn't the only one "tanking" either. Robinous and Soulencer were running their lowbie Fighter's, too.

Not to mention the fact that Soulencer's lowbie, Forbiddious, is a 'forged.

Phrudin's healing spells certainly don't work as well on the 'forged as they do on the fleshies.

But, the point is...

We came to a point where there was almost no chatting going on.

And, Kru noticed.

And said something about it.

Our excuses were pretty lame. But, the truth is, it's been a *long* time since we've had the pleasure of Kruella or Craygar in our groups. According to the guild member list within the game, 1 year and 10 months.

1 year and 10 months without the irrelevant chatter we used to be famous for!

Time to resurrect old traditions!

Who knows *what* will come up the next time we group.

Perhaps Themainvein?

Well, maybe not.

But, Kru's sister, Trowser Snakecharmer is back...

;)

Keep it fun!
