…I can’t sleep.

I logged into the map. Checking the inventory and fitting new outfits (armor sets, actually) and jewelries (pendant of fire and ring of wizardry you like?) by the Devias gate. Someone pounced me and invited a party. I said sure, I will party you, you superheroes ^_^ We were off to Tarkan 2. You see those heroes wanted to test something in their armory, attack and defense rates so they chose a high level map. I was just tugging along, not really enjoying the scene of a noob Magic Gladiator and a Dark Lord splatting dead each time the monsters hit their bones. If the battles were real, they would really need a, say, plastic surgeon in San Diego, CA to correct their battle-shattered faces. They only asked me to tank them for extra damage and not defense nor healing. They attack and die. Attack and die. At that instant I wanted to switch to my Agility elf and do the killing myself. That could have been more rewarding. But since I am a gamer who keeps her word, I obliged to keep them company for like 15 minutes. But what a blessing in disguise. I ran out of game hours and had to exit the game. hahaha. I don’t usually enjoy getting logged out while in the game. But this time, I am just so glad!

So am here blogging instead.

“Why are you still up at this time of the night???!!??” I asked my husband who was seriously fiddling his laptop keyboards.

“Huh?” he answered as if he’s listening.

“Who are you talking to at 3AM? Why are you still chatting at this wee hour when you should be asleep. We have work in the morning, remember??” I pressed on trying to get him to really hear me.

“ahhhhmmm… huh?” this is all he replied. I didn’t bother to ask some more as I feel he was just wasting my time. I thought I’d better hop back to bed.

The following morning, he woke up late. As expected. It was almost lunch time when he came by my desk, with eyes still barely half-opened and lips grinning excitedly “I bought you an Excellent Guardian set HP +DSR (Defense Success rate) for 20 Jewel of bless and some Jewel of Souls” (in USD, it’s as much as having a breast reduction in Houston, Texas do you think?)

“oh? when?” I asked.

“Last night.. errr.. 3AM. The negotiation took quite a while but it was all worth it.”

“Sou desu ka…” I replied in Japanese tongue then I smiled. So that’s why he was just so consumed then, a negotiation was going on all along, all for a Guardian set for my xcelent_kipr Agility Elf. Cool.
