Valentine’s Day

Well, once our yummy dinner was done, we hopped on …
… well, that was after I’d commented to Margie that it was about this time last year that I’d roped her in persuaded her that playing CoH might be fun … and that we’d been doing it for a year now … and, damn, it’s been fun doing it with her.
Enough soppy stuff.
… and, of course, we had to play Mr. and Mrs. Azure a bit. Always fun, even if CC is a bit less chattery than before.
After that, we decided we’d do some Pocket D stuff. Mr. Ravenous from the villain side, Christmas Present from the heroes.
Well, the hero side (with Ravenous gimped down to 10) went okay. Actually, it went swimmingly. We tore through Council/Arachnos like knives through butter.
Then we went to the villain missions (with CP SKed to 12).
Yikes.
First off, CP being down a level didn’t help. Especially since everything was yellow and orange for me.
My being on … well the second level of reputation difficulty (“Zillions of ’em, Mr. Rico!”) didn’t help, either.
So we fought huge gobs of folks and barely survived even with the Drops of goodness from the bartenders. And that was just the first mob. The second was bad, too. The third —
— well, somewhere in there, we both died. And we decided, since it was latish and I really needed to reset to simple “Villainous,” we’d call it an evening.
So, out with a whimper. But still a fun evening.
