“I have been nerfed and you thought this was a good idea Hu Tao?”
“She could have shared her ninja skills to help me escape the attractive white jacket those enchanting blonde Eskimos gave me!”
Hu Tao responds. “I’d do it again in a few heartbeats”. “I am Epic, but get no love either; they could have made me average and I would be a weapon but now it is just smoothies, endless smoothies…”
Oh dear, mutters an embarrassed (@)sft1965. "I genuinely regret feeding away your doppelganger but in the absence of being able to seek advice, Global chat was all I had; you couldn’t whip me up a Bolivian tea smoothie could you??
But back to the story; blue balls are everywhere. Even some of the girls have them. “And that magic mirror is a malicious device designed to damage small egos” thinks (@) sft1965
And I am wasting one of the few posts allowed to me per day to respond (i’m only allowed on post every 45 minutes) to say that you are totally welcome here. We have no such thing as gate crashers and (@)rooks frying pans are usually the severest punishment. I’d like to think the tread is PG rated.
“What happened to the story? Last I remember I was riding in on dragon wings to save the day. Does the day need saving yet again?”
He put fingers to mouth and blew out the loudest, most cacophonous whistle anyone had ever heard.
“Now that wasn’t particularly bardic” complained @sft1965, holding his hands over his poor bruised ears.
It did, however, knock @nevarmaor out of his catatonic state. He shook his head to clear it. “Paeons, where is my gilded carriage and crown?” he demanded. “Don’t keep your ruler waiting now. I have raids to win!”
@amrath sighed. "From before your time, when we had adventures in Atlantis, and Isarnia and Poseidon were married, and @CaptainjaKCsparrow had a big thing for Isarnia…
Hu Tao took out his notes, and sifted slowly through them. “And in the end, we found a way for Isarnia and @CaptainjaKCsparrow to end up together, but that was erased…”
Proteus shuddered. “We’ve been rebooted several times, haven’t we?”
@Rook licked her paw. “And we will again, if we don’t resolve this mess!”
Even after the POV, ducks remain, get yours in a row. Even (@)rook frying pans cannot touch me"
Whack!! (@) sft1965 crumples a little bit. ‘below the belt is not very sporting he groans’
I’m seeking a solution: “Heimdall could use some minor mana (watching him stationary and holding his horn is disturbing most of the girls except Natalya. Toxicandra, you can help even after your hero card revision. (@)sft definitely needs some healing also.”
On a island resort. “Where are we?” Proteus asked. “Not sure. All I want is a smoothie.” Hu Tao said. “Have you ever tried not thinking of a smoothie?” Proteus asked. “Not sure.” “Can you at least try?” “Let’s see…uh.” Hu Tao looked up for like 3 seconds, then says. “Nah.”
Hu Tao, continues; “no actually. I made a discovery that smoothies are actually tastier than Bamboo and far superior to the seaweed you consume Proteus”. “(@) sft1965 and (@)Sleepy” love me more than you continues Proteus as a retort. “My special skill is superior in rare quests”. And then; “sorry Hu Tao, the devil made me say it, I know you are awesome, accept my apology? We are still BFF right?”
“I see a a bar, let’s just kick back, have a (non smoothie) drink and see what transpires?” says Proteus.
“Oh and avoid those two girls over there; Malicna and Yang Mei, they are nasty.”
Hu Tao stared dubiously at Kiril. “Ever?” he retorted slowly. “Let me just whip this out!”
“No, no, really. Try this.” And Kiril shoved a giant stein overflowing with a suspiciously green foam into each of our heroes’ hands. “Down the – hic – hatch!”
“Umm, it’s not St. Patrick’s day, it it?” asked Proteus dubiously.
The wonderful peaty aroma of the foam was beginning to work into Hu Tao’s sensitive nose. “Who cares?” he remarked, and proceeded to slowly chug.
“Ok, what is in this, really?” asked Proteus of Kiril, eyeing the foam creeping down the side of his oversized stein.
(@)sft screams; “NO!!!”. “(@) sleepy is off limits Hu Tao. He is one of the good guys, he actively promotes your fishman! brothers. The rocket launcher was just a minor indiscretion. No actual heroes were hurt.”
The Ninjas lead by Yang Mai, ninja’d their way to the basement, those courageous Scandinavian Ninjas! Give me 5 limit broken Aiffes (and poor Dank Derrick!) and we will destroy them.
But I have to tell you that I think Malicna may have a thing for Pandas with book smarts…
Malicna sidled up to Hu Tao. “My, you are so dangerous and passionate with that rocket launcher of yours!”
Hu Tao rudely shoved her aside. “Don’t obstruct me! I want that recipe!” He pointed the rocket launcher at Sleepyhead again. Sleepyhead shrieked and dove behind Proteus. Proteus took one look at Hu Tao and dove behind Sleepyhead.
Everyone else just shook their heads.
Malicna, trying to gain Hu Tao’s attention, blurted out - “I know another way to get that recipe!”
Hu Tao dropped his launcher and seized Malicna by her horns. “Tell me!”
