"Fuck yes! Die, changeling scum!"
-
>Be Floor Bored, NEET Extraordinaire
-
>Your days are filled with carefree fun
-
>Vidya, pirated movies, imageboard shitposting
-
>No responsibilities to be heard of
-
>Lately, you've been playing a MOBA called Equimancy
-
>You're not one for competitive games
-
>Usually, you prefer single player
-
>Public lobbies are packed with normies and it's not like you have any friends
-
>You hate interacting with other ponies, and that includes online
-
>Even the boards you frequent are free of usernames and monikers
-
>You basically have no traceable internet presence
-
>Except this one game
-
>You picked it up after watching one of the few streamers you actually enjoyed
-
>And, as you are wont to do, you got hooked, HARD
-
>Something about kicking other ponies' asses at something made you feel powerful
-
>You didn't get to experience that feeling much in NEET life, so you chased that high
-
>Down the rabbit hole you went, letting the game consume your life
-
>It was during one of these marathon gaming sessions that you encountered user AnonSense
-
>He sounds like one of those generic assholes in team chat
-
>Bossing everyone around, thinking he's hot shit
-
>You resolve to show him up
-
>When he inevitably dies, you drop by his post and demolish the changeling warlock holding his outpost
-
>You immediately swing back to your section of the map, having done his job without ceding an inch of your territory
-
>His voice crackles through your speakers
-
>"Aw, what the hell? Who stole my kill? randompony583?"
-
>Quickly clacking at your keyboard, you type out a message in chat.
-
>randompony583: @AnonSense git gud
-
>Immediately you hear him give a seething huff
-
>"That was my XP you stole!"
-
>randompony583: your KD is 2-7 you werent gettin that kill
-
>Exasperated, he pauses, obviously unable to dispute the numbers
-
>"Why are you using keyboard chat anyway? Go voice if you want to coordinate attacks."
-
>Ugh
-
>There was no way in hell you were enabling voice chat
-
>You haven't had a voice conversation in... weeks?
-
>When did that census-taker stop by?
-
>You would have just ignored him if it weren't a federal offens-
-
>Oh, shit!
-
>You're getting ganked! Move, move, move!
-
>You struggle to escape the barrage of abilities being laid upon you
-
>Out of the corner of your screen a new figure swoops in from the skies
-
>A griffon ranger by the name of AnonSense
-
>Expertly, he deftly flanks the two opponents and bombards them with attacks
-
>With them slowed, they can't spin around in time to defend themselves
-
>You watch as this guy shreds your attackers to pieces, saving your skin
-
>"THAT'S how you kill-steal."
-
>Holy shit that was actually pretty cool
-
>randompony583: @AnonSense thx
-
>After the match (a resounding victory), you get a message
-
>Wait, who the fuck's messaging you
-
>AnonSense: gg got to admit you actually carried the team
-
>That's weird
-
>You're not used to getting messages
-
>You're definitely not used to other ponies acknowledging you carried them (even though it's usually true)
-
>randompony583: gg np
-
>AnonSense: want to team up? need somepony to help me out of ELO hell
-
>Okay, that's a first
-
>You definitely don't want to pair up with some gamer bro stallion
-
>But
-
>He actually impressed you back there
-
>It's definitely easier to climb the ranks when you have a teammate you can coordinate with
-
>But most shockingly, for perhaps the first time ever, a stallion has actually shown a modicum of interest in you
-
>Fighting against every anti-social impulse in your body, you type out a response
-
>randompony583: sure
