Late night runaround
Late when I got on last night, after Overly Large But Exceedingly Yummy Project Team Dinner. Margie was likely already in bed, or, failing that, being a polite host to my folks (who, ironically, are in Colorado while I'm in California).
So I figured I'd be soloing, and decided to bring in Velvet (after a disastrous late-night soloing with Torchielle the night before).
Ended up on a pick-up team for a good chunk of the time. Very undisciplined (nobody wanted to coordinate starting the attack, and we just continued rolling down the corridor once it started), but we did okay -- and Velvet has the highest survivability for that sort of thing. Biggest problem was running out of endurance. Went up a couple of pips, had some fun, earned a tray-full of DOs, called it a night.

yeah....
MK wasn't on last night, and you were getting on just as I was logging off ((11-ish).
The other night Zazi was able to solo Dr. Vazh. I figured I clear out the stuff blocking the way, take a look at what I was facing, and then do some recruiting. But Zazi had the luckiest damn placement of the good doctor that I’ve ever seen. In the back corner of the room. All. BY. HIMSELF. He was still Purple, but no minions close by.
I saw it and couldn’t believe it. Exited the mission, and stocked up on Damage, ACC, and CaB tabs and went back to finish it. Went in, and used all but one ACC/DAM tab when endurance failed, and toggles dropped All except stealth luckily). He was down to about a 1mm line on HP. Ran, healed before he could, and jumped him in the tunnel before he could get back to the room.
After that, the find the plague barrel mission was a bit of a let down. But I got the Plague stopper badge, so yay Zazi!
Last night dinged twenty, and picked up Acrobatics, which should cut down on knockbacks. Teamed with Panik, who is a lot like Psi-Clone in his power set. Also, Doyce managed to freak me out by congratulating Zazi on her new level a minute after getting it while playing the Strategist. He is a man of many powers that Doyce.
A bit of funny from the post CoJ party file. Zazi got asked last night if Psi-Clone and Panik are like boyfriend and boyfriend. (and no…I’m not going to tell you who asked)
Later took Ciunas out for a spin. Joined a pick up team, who after several minutes decided to give me the party lead.
Gulp.
They were mostly undisciplined, but I did my best to rein them in and got them to use the “ready!” button “yes…the F7…use it”. Best thing was at the end (no one died for three whole missions!), several of them chimed in saying that this was the first time in several levels that they didn’t have any debt.
W00t!, as it were.

Very nice.
Don't know that we'll be on tonight (I get in at 7, we're going out for dinner, need to be good hosts, I'm exhausted), but would certainly enjoy doing a bit more running about with Zazi.

D20 to night, so I wont be on until some time tomorrow. Either Ciunas, Puck, Mofo, or Zazi. Probably a combo of the group depending what is going on.

Ok Dave...
I will say that it was very amusing for me to see us Saturday night all behaving like kids at christmas all showing off our new toys, while doing the same with all of our CoH characters.
Had me smiling all the way home.
In other news MoFo picked up the the Vazh disease after the party, so I'll have to deal with that some thime this week.
Puck managed to get in on some great big scary missions sunday on either side of the Server crash. Some debt, and much fun. Both had Jen Sparow in a very subdued manner. It was fun to play with the big dogs.
