Drew pulled himself together, alt-tabbed and fired up Mumble, and his headphones crackled with Bjorn.
“—be tanking. Jargogle and Dave will be providing melee DPS. Ialdir and Mordant will be providing ranged DPS. And I will be providing imba DPS. Our healing team are Solace, Ignatius, and Prospero, assuming Solace is not so distracted that he lets everybody die.”
“Oh no, Bjorn, just you.”
Kit’s voice made Drew tingle a bit. He’d spent a good part of the afternoon listening to it, so it was sort of familiar, but he still wasn’t used to hearing him on Mumble. And, for the first time, Drew realised he had a sense of Kit at least as strong as his sense of Solace.
A softly-spoken, softly laughing boy, with wary eyes and warm hands.
And shit, everyone was running into the instance.
Since they hadn’t downed Vilicus on Monday, they waded through his tormented trash and assembled in the torture chamber. It took them a couple of tries to get into the rhythm of it, but they squeaked through on the third attempt. Drew wasn’t sure if he was distracted or focused, but he was very aware of Solace standing at the back with his shiny wings. They’d raided and played together enough now that he was starting to get that synchronicity thing where you kind of knew when the other person was fine, and when they were struggling, and when they needed you to blow all your cooldowns right the hell now. He’d had afairly good relationship with Hachiman, the main healer, back in Anni, but it hadn’t felt like this.
Also, he’d never wanted to date the guy.
When they’d finished celebrating the demise of this week’s incarnation of Lady Bloodrose’s favourite torturer, it was time to divide the loot.
“Time to see what Uncle Bjorn has in his magic bag.”
[Raid][Jargogle]: I am not certain I want to think about Uncle Bjorn’s magic bag.
“You love my bag, Magda. And we haaaave…” Bjorn paused dramatically “…the Inexorable Axe. Again.”
[Raid][Heurodis]: [The Inexorable Axe]
[Raid][Dave]: lol
Drew sighed. “Honestly, you wait months for a tanking axe, and then three come along at once.”
“Can you dual wield it?” asked Ialdir.
“No, it’s a unique.”
Bjorn: “Can anybody use this thing?”
[Raid][Morag]: Champions can’t use axes
[Raid][Ignatius]: Shame Caius isn’t here. He could take it for his samnite spec.
[Raid][Dave]: do you want me to start a tanking spec
“Just take the fucking axe, David,” Bjorn snapped.
[Raid][Dave]: naw just shard it
[Raid][Dave]: dps 4 life 4 eva
[Raid][Orcarella]: i cant believe you’re sharding the axe i quit my guild over
[Raid][Solace]: *hugs*
[Raid][Solace]: It’s not just enchanting mats, it’s a valuable lesson about life
[Raid][Orcarella]: what lesson?
[Raid][Morag]: life’s a bitch and then you die
[Raid][Ialdir]: an axe in the hand is worth two in the loot table
