On the seventh day of Destiny 2,
My true love gave to me:
Seven things to miss!
"No, no, no; so he's trying to run at the thing, and then I say 'PUSH THAT SUCKER OFF THE LEDGE!'" Alex gestured wildly, miming a Nova Bomb. "And then, I hit the thing with a Nova Bomb, and it flies right off below!"
"No way!" Sierra shook her head. "There's no way I'm going to believe you killed the mother of all Vex by pushing it down the stairs."
"Off a cliff." The Warlock corrected. "And, might I add, it's no more believable than you're little story about Crota. Like I'm going to beleive you staggered him and kept him down because a Titan just stood there chanting the word 'ethernet'."
"Hey, that's true!" She protested. "Carlton was there, he saw it, too!"
"Don't drag me into this!" the Titan raised his hands in surrender. "I'm still trying to re-find my dignity after that whole 'Hammer' incident."
The other two Guardians just stared at him.
"You know? When my Light stopped working the way it should? You don't remember when I could throw hammers like a machine gun?" he asked, disbelieving they could forget such a thing.
"I remember wanting to strangle you in the Crucible." Alex said. "Does that count?"
"Kinda reminds me when Dusk Arrows seemed to grow on trees..." Sierra sighed wistfully. "I remember that... it was the only reason we were allowed into the Lighthouse that one time; you guys did absolutely nothing, but I kept wiping the other teams..."
"Sierra, that's the reason Shaxx looks at us like we set the Tower on fire." Alex reminded her witheringly.
"'Looks at us'? But, he's always wearing that helmet!" she exclaimed, confused. "How can you tell the way he's looking at you?"
"When you feel your soul slowly being ripped out of your body." Carlton stated, earning a sagely nod from the Warlock member of their team.
"Oh, you mean when the Cave of Endless Slaying ran empty?" Sierra planted her chin on her arm as she looked at from from over the back of the couch. "Yeah, that did hurt."
"Completely unrelated, Sierra." Alex shook his head, pinching the bridge of his nose.
"Unrelated?" She challenged. "You want unrelated? I'll show you unrelated! REMEMBER THAT TIME WE ALL HAD SPACE COOTIES!?"
"Oh, please don't." Alex begged, burying his face in his hand completely. "I don't even want to think about the hangover those mites gave me after the cure was administered..."
"Okay, talk about something else, then..." Carlton looked around, searching for something to talk about. "Oh! Uh, remember that one time last year? Saladin got called away during Iron Banner, so he held it twice the next month?"
"That's worse!" Alex groaned, and Sierra made an odd sort of keening noise that sounded like a deranged moan. "I still can't sit right!"
"If it hurt so much, why did you keep jumping back into it?" the Huntress asked.
"I had a reputation to uphold." the Warlock crossed his arms in a way that clearly said; 'This conversation is over.'
Some of this is stuff only Year 1 vets will remember. As a Taken Tot, I wasn't there for them, but I thought those of you where were would appreciate this chapter.
I was here for the double Iron Banner July(i think) of legend, and Owl Sector of course. All this week I keep expecting something weird to pop up on Mars or in a mission, but so far nothing is happening. Next Tuesday marks the final D1 weekly reset before D2 launch, so if anything... STRANGE is going to happen, we'll hear about it from the Australians late on Monday.
Look up to tomorrow!
Read and REVIEW!
