âI canât believe I disappear for a little while and you guys put on levels and then crash.â Baladaraâs voice woke Horc from the comfortable bed he was asleep in. âI got your message by the way. Iâll handle anything I have to.â
âThanks.â Horc blinked at her. âHow did you find us?â
âWhen I logged on, I looked at the map and it showed me where my party was.â She crossed her arms and glared. âAnd you added to the party. Barbarians make pretty good tanks. Is he any good?â
âSheâs good.â Horc sat up and rubbed his eyes. On the other bed in the small room, Greensleeves was doing the same.
âLooks like itâs light outside,â Greensleeves said. âSo at least we got some rest.â
Baladara stared at them. âYou guys got tired? Youâre using your pods. You shouldnât get tired.â
Greensleeves stretched and yawned. âI think itâs one of the new things they added trying to make it more lifelike. Iâll ask Rick about it when I get out of the pod for a while. I bet they donât have coffee here.â
Baladara laughed. âYou know there was a quest chain in one of the other games I played where I had to go a series of quests to gather beans, hot water, and something else for an NPC to make his own coffee, although he didnât call it that. Iâd have to go back and check to see what it was.â She frowned. âIf I can even remember what game it was. That was a long time ago.â
Greensleeves sighed. âI might have done that one too, back in high school. It sounds vaguely familiar.â
Horc rolled his eyes. âI would think game designers would have better things to do with their time, and ours, than something like that.â He reached for his leather armor heâd piled on the chair next to the bed.
âHey, some of these strange little nonsense quests are the best ones,â Baladara said. âThey can be a real palate cleanser after some really tough ones where we have to battle our way through endless mobs to grind out some cash, or leather.â
âOkay. Letâs go grab some breakfast and get on the trail,â Greensleeves said. âIâll send Steelmaiden a message to meet us downstairs.â
âSounds good.â As Horc pulled on his boots, he realized something, a plus to the digital world. He hadnât had to hit the bathroom to relieve himself. He just hoped his pod was operating properly and taking care of those functions of his physical body the way it was supposed to.
Giving his wolf a quick head rub, Horc stood from his bed and waited for Greensleeves to finish getting dressed.
âYou settled on getting a wolf companion.â Baladara eyed the wolf. âLooks good. Are you going to name it, or just leave it as wolf?â
âIâd like to name it, but I havenât thought of a name yet.â Horc patted the wolf again. âIâve never had a pet before, so Iâm not really sure what goes into naming them.â
âYouâll think of something,â Greensleeves said.
