worry , Reagan, I’ll fix your mess again,” Tawny said slowly.
“What are you going to do?” I asked nervously, not sure I really wanted to know the answer.
“Put him in his place.”
7. Like Casting a Stunning Spell
“You’re such a liar,” I heard Kaydinn say in his naturally loud voice the second I put on my headphones after logging in to Voyager’s Quest that night. “Eilarae, I need a heal.”
It seemed like the whole guild was in a fit over something. Even Sovay was typing h er input like a madwoman . . . Or at least, a person who played a female character. I guess none of us were 100 percent sure she was really a girl.
Kaydinn’s just saying that because he can’t figure out how to get up there, Sovay typed. Also, I’m backstabbing that guy over there in a second. Be ready for some aggro.
“It’s so easy. All you have to do is follow the mountain ridge from the zone before , and once you get there, you can see the cabin up at the top of the mountain,” Rekrap said adamantly. “Raising a golem.”
It was so odd to hear his voice over guild chat now , after having heard it in real life. Meshing my two lives together was definitely starting to throw me off.
“It can’t be done until they let us use our flying mounts in the main continent in the next expansion,” Kaydinn countered, sounding sure of himself. “Aggro over here!”
“That’s going to be so awesome! I wish I had one IRL to help me get to work on time,” Eilarae chimed in with a happy little giggle.
“Oh my gosh, just say ‘In Real Life’ not IRL,” Kaydinn grumbled.
“All right no more debating for you. It makes you grumpy,” Eilarae shot back, still as sweet as ever. “Incoming heals!”
“Can I ask you guys exactly what we’re arguing about?” I finally asked, failing miserably at trying to catch up based on the tidbits of conversation I was hearing.
It sounded as if they were arguing about something while doing a dungeon , since their arguments were mixed with bits of battle instruction.
“ Rekrap thinks you can get to that cabin up by the waterfall in the Allyn Nouveau zone,” Kaydinn informed me, his voice very obviously indicating that he did not agree. “And I reminded him that it can’t be done until we can use flying mounts in that zone. Eilarae, we need more heals over here!”
“And then I told Kaydinn that I had actually gotten up there and sent him a screenshot to prove it, which he said proves nothing because I just manipulated the picture,” Rekrap said in annoyance. “And I’m dead now.”
“Sorry!” Eilarae said quickly. “Hit the wrong button. Rezzing you now.”
It was good that our guild was so unusual in that i t had more girls than guys. It kept the balance of these testosterone-fueled arguments on the side of calmness and reason.
Then , of course, there was the cheerleader part of me that couldn’t believe they were actually wasting their time talking about this at all when it was such a nerdy thing to care about.
But I guess that was me; a closet nerd.
“I hate to break it to you, Kaydinn, but I’ve been up there with Rekrap. You can get there; you just have to manipulate some faults in the game’s walls,” I said a little guiltily.
Technically you weren’t all owed to go anywhere in game if you had to utilize the game’s weaknesses to do it, but everyone did it anyway. The worst they could do to you was suspend your account for a few days . . . Although, if they chose the right days—like a raiding day—that could be the end of the world for some people.
Ohhhh , you and Rekrap went up there together, huh? Sovay typed.
I was guessing she was trying to hint at something , but through text you never could tell.
“Yeah , Xandris and I are pretty much engaged by this point,” Parker said sarcastically, to which I rolled my eyes and gave an “Mhm,” as my reply.
“Okay , this dungeon is a total bust since our whole group died. I’m heading into a
