… or have I used that one already???
Anyway, it’s been about a month, and I’ve actually been ready to write something for a little bit, but was waiting for some portraits. For instance, this one…
As usual, I’m in the inn, just waiting to see if someone was offering something interesting. Captbigbelly was in there, talking (arguing sometimes) with a couple of guys in there. I tease that I’ve sank with him more times than the other guys have sunk period, then in tells told him that I used to go out with him as Suzysunshine all the time. He replies that he remembered me, and asked if I like spring green — well, after buying the new parrot what else could I say but yes. Next I knew he gave me this little ghost bunny. I thanked him profusely of course, then, after getting a ghost amulet, I had this picture made. That makes pictures of Lillyth as a Vampire, Werewolf, Zombie, and Ghost — all I need now is a Skeleton portrait.
Then, there was this picture…
Again, sitting in the inn, and Meaganz announces a black/aqua spider for 1.2M. I send her a tell saying that it was just my luck, her offering something like that when I was low on cash. She offered to sell it for 1M. Oh man! I told her that I had put all my cash into dubs for the upcoming Gold Box promo. She wished me luck on the promo, and I went back to my house. I checked the Dubloon exchange, and watch as someone posts to buy more than 300 dubs at a price that would net me a little bit of profit. I immediately send a tell to Meaganz asking if she still had the spider. She said yes, and I invited her to my house and started selling of just enough dubs to meet her price. Needless to say, I’m quite pleased — elastic was (trying) to sell a named aqua/aqua spider for 1.6M, so I thought 1M for unnamed black/aqua was a good deal. Then the next week, I still had enough dubs to buy 5 gold boxes – I got a crystal ball, 3 trinkets, and this little critter…
My luck with gold boxes is a mixed bag – usually I get trinkets, but I did get a tan monkey once so you can never tell. I figure a gold seal is a good deal. Yeah, I know a seal in a picture with a hula girl doesn’t make the most sense, but I wanted to show it off anyway.
So anyway, I’m slowly rebuilding my poe stash – I’ve gone on a couple of reasonably successful Cit runs, and a good, and a not so good Haunted seas trip. Kraken hunts will be a tougher matter now, I’m no longer hearties with Platia. I haven’t muted him yet, although it wouldn’t surprise me if he’s muted me. What can I say – I’m down to counting weeks on one hand until I’m 50, and I’m just too old to put up with certain behavior. When the two of us were heading up to the top of the board, he accused me of cutting him off — even though I was actually a step ahead of him anyway. Even worse, he said he was going to die because of me — but he didn’t, the tentacle chasing us followed me! He sat there and sulked though, until he did get sunk, then he decided to not do anything for the rest of the run. Not a problem if you’re an egger – but a big one when you’re the bomber. And there was still 15 minutes left in the hunt. I finally got fed up with him – I sent him a tell and said he could me blame for his sink all he wanted too, but I was a step ahead of him and he knew it. Then I told him to grow up and stop ruining it for the other people. Then I left. If he’d been someone else, I would have muted him, instead I just unheartied him. I sent a tell saying if he decides to grow up, I’d be happy to hearty him again. He replied something like good luck without me. Oh well. He only invited me on kraken hunts every other day (or less), so it’s not like I’m missing out on a whole lot.
And I’m no longer being blown up regularly by the bomber…
