“Like Fontaine and Lunt”

So this morning, all the West Cost servers were down. Or, rather, the connections between the login servers and them were down. So … no Champion … no Virtue …

Screwed around a little while with Molly Magpie (a test Grav/FF controller), then when Margie came down she decided we’d follow up with a pet idea of hers — Duo Scrappers.

Enter Rita the Cat and Runt the Dog. Rita and Runt are escaped mutates from Crey (those wacky Crey scientists are good for blaming everything on), making their way in a world they’ve never seen. Both Scrappers, both /Regen (“No Waiting!”). Rita is Claws and Runt is Dark. Together, They Fight Crime!

Well, that was just too much fun. Over the course of the day (minus a quick Safeguard mish with Mal and Co. playing Cetus and Lunulata), we plowed through pretty much everything. For the first time … ever, I think, we duoed through the Hollows, tearing up the missions, up to and including Frostfire (we won, natch), ending in time for dinner
at SL 9.

(FF was particularly exciting since the ice was invisible.)

What a hoot. Sort of like being brutes — you just launch into the orange mobs and love it. (Katherine amused herself, meanwhile, with a new Pink Winged Demon on Test, playing at Father Time’s chalet. Didn’t realize you could log an account into both Test and Live at the same time …).

An unproductive weekend, objectively, but a lot of fun, and very relaxing.
