Bob and Peggy had a nice house. The Cindy part seemed to notice that right away and made a point of saying it out loud in our head. The suggestion had been made to meet at Bobs. Hed been logged in at the time, but away from his computer. Part of us wondered if he was cursing himself for not being Evangelia or rather pleased that he had a peril sensitive bladder.
We did not seem to be the first to arrive, but ours was the only car in the driveway. No, we didnt drive all the way from Ottawa. Cindy wouldnt leave Bolo behind. The car held Bolo and Bolos roadie equipment bag of food, kennel, toys - and some changes of clothes for us. Cindy and Shayne had commented that teleporting the car had given them the best gas mileage theyd ever had out of that thing. We hadnt gone very far from the house before teleporting the car the first time; just to see if we could do it. We could.
We noticed two things while zooming south along the highway, stopping every 200km to teleport the car. One, Nova form could really boogie; Two, we didnt feel the cold as much as we thought we might. Oh, and navigation seemed to be no problem at all. Almost like in game. We focused on Bob, and basically hit follow.
So here we were on his doorstep, Bolo straining to get inside where adventure and loads of new smells waited. Bob answered the door and we introduced ourselves. There were two women already there. One was obviously LoraLai; the other had to be Peggy, as Stilletto. Poor Peggy, we hoped she was strong enough to handle this mess. Although, since she was already a gamer, though not a COHer, chances are she could handle weird without blinking. Come to think of it, one of Cindys favourite quotes in Bobs signature had been something Peggy had said in a game, I loot faster. Yeah, she could handle this.
We found a quiet corner, set up Bolo in his kennel and sat quietly, one hand constantly petting the dog. To reassure all of us I think. We all sat around discussing mundane details of life.
How did you cross the boarder? someone finally asked.
You dont want to know. In other words, we werent here legally. But then, at this point, werent all of us who had changed illegal?
