A few snatched hours

I’m not sure my situation is directly analogous to using video games for pain management, but I was very happy to have a few minutes to grab in Paragon last night.
First, a brief SK for Amethyst Crown in Kings Row with a level 19 Ice Controller fighting Abominations and other mid-range Vahz. Given how sketchy AC’s attack chain is (Hack. Slice. Punch. Punch. Punch. Punch.) it was both alarming and gratifying to be thanked by him for contributing my “higher DPS.”
Then a quick adventure with Fazenda and Araware wherein we discovered that running at Rugged wasn’t all that bad, even if there was a distinct orange cast to all those Skulls …
Fought a fire, briefly, just by the Steel Canyon Yellow Line. Discovered (a) hey, those Outcasts Hellions try to keep you from it! (b) unslotted Hover is sooooooo slooooooooooow, and (c) I dunno what happened, but no badge or award or anything.
Oh, and (d) squirting Skulls in a later mission with your still-present fire extinguisher pack doesn’t really do anything to them.
Nothing special, but needed fun nonetheless.
