Chapter 2
we all need a friend, and ETC unwillingly finds one
ETC and Stitches
The birds were singing, the sun was shining, and ETC was bored. The Tauren rock god had nothing to do, the battles were ongoing of course but he hadn't been picked, apparently no one wanted melted faces today.
"It's not like I wanted to kill stuff anyway," he pouted, as he sat down and leaned against a tree. "I'd just be clearing waves…. And getting objectives….. And…. Playing with my friends!"
He began to cry, huge salty tears of anger. If they didn't want him on their team then it was their loss, he'd form his own team and- what was that smell?
A rank, putrid odor filled the air and the sound of buzzing insects grew louder and louder.
"Come back little bunny! Stitches want to play!" ETC squeezed his nose and quickly hid behind the tree as a huge shambling monstrosity with a gaping hole in its stomach ran by chasing after several frightened rabbits.
"Gotta get outta here before that walking slaughterhouse floor sees me," ETC waited until Stitches had vanished from sight and quietly picked up his axe and began sneaking off.
"Cow man!"
"Goddammit," he muttered and reluctantly turned around to see Stitches lumbering happily towards him. "What do you want Stitches?"
The undead monstrosity stopped to scratched his head in thought, though ETC was sure no thought was going on.
"Stitches want to hear cow man sing a song!"
The Tauren looked at him in surprise. "Really?" he asked, no one had actually asked to hear him sing before, he just did it anyway. "What do you wanna hear me sing…. Bro?"
"Can you sing Da Wheels on DA Carriage?"
"No"
"That ok, Stitches teach!" Stitches said. "Da wheels on da carriage go round and round-"
ETC couldn't take much more of Stitches, his horrible singing was beginning to hurt the Tauren's ears. He had to think of something.
"Look!….. Uh…. A UFO!" he exclaimed, pointing towards the sky, when Stitches looked, ETC bolted.
Several minutes later found the Tauren back at the bar, drinking to a fine getaway. He was feeling pretty good, humming to himself the rock god ordered another pint, and winked at Sonya as she passed.
"Hey there red, wanna learn how to rodeo?" he asked. The barbarian beauty snorted.
"I much rather prefer castrating bulls than riding them," she replied, as she drew a knife and stuck it into the table. "Care to help me practice?"
It was then that he slid down under the table. "No thanks, I just remembered I have something to do," he said.
When she was gone he stood up to find a plate of hot, steaming meat in front of him, and a grinning Stitches.
"What's this?" he asked, sitting down poking it with a fork.
"Friendship food!" Stitches said. "Eat!"
Cutting off a piece ETC raised it to his nose and sniffed it. It didn't smell poisoned or rotten. Opening his mouth he found that it was delicious and soft, not to mention the gravy. He took another big bite and chewed slowly, savoring it.
"This ain't so bad!" he exclaimed, eating another forkful. "What is it?"
"It be Stitches favorite!" Stitches replied. "Roast beef!"
ETC barely made it to the bathroom.
