I miss the people I'd met as a kid playing d2 now
more than most anyone else even irl really
My first player was a bowzon I called Cold_Killa
Ouji-Kanazuchi was my first friend;
and sensei.
He was always so humble.
He knew my bowzon was a failure yet still always encouraged me to keep playing as her, always asking how she's doing.
Ouji: "How's Cold?"
*is at first ashamed, then suddenly proud
Cold: She's doing good! I found her a new bow finally! Wanna see it?"
*leaves game immediately without waiting for reply and returns milliseconds later, initiating trade request immediately
*waits 5 seconds for trade to show off new bow
*losing patience, steps away and repeats traderequest-walkaway-traderequest cycle until Sensei Ouji Kanazuchi accepts
*shows Wizendraw
Ouji: "Nice!"
Cold: "Yeah! someone really cool gave it to me yesterday! But I still have to wait a few lvls to use it..."
Ouji: "Brb."
*Ouji busts out lvl 60 javazon
My reaction;
to myself: wheres her bow?
to Ouji: "Cool! may I see her weapon please?"
*initiates trade milliseconds after asking
*Ouji presents: Javelin. damage 3-6.
My reaction;
to myself: that's so silly...
to Ouji: How does that work?
*Ouji silently leads through Blood Moor Nightmare...
Milliseconds later...
Cold_Killa has been slain by Fallen
and sparks flying everywhere...
My reaction(still hasn't escaped death screen, spectating);
to myself: What was that?
to Ouji: Whoa.
Ouji: CS.
Cold: CS?
Ouji: Charged Strike.
Cold: Ohhhh...(still not knowing what he's talking about)
Ouji: left skill tree.
Cold: Ok!
Me later that day...
Levels CS to 1
*runs into blood moor still clutching prized rare 21 dmg 10% ias +3 lit dmg bow with CS on right click...
*EPIC SLOW DRAMA CHARGES FALLEN
Cold_Killa has been slain by Fallen
...
wtf!!!
Meets Ouji again the next day
Cold: Hey Ouji! I tried that skill you showed me the other day but it didn't work!?
*Ouji says nothing, walks away nonchalantly, then returns from Charsi and initiates trade
My reaction;
to myself: ...
to Ouji: ?
*Ouji presents Javelin and accepts trade...
...
Converted!
Sometime later...
*Discovers FC and MH
Dun! Dun! DUN!!!
ta ha!
=^-^=
writing this elevated my mood...
