Quin turned her attention back to her laptop. “Ok, time to have some fun.”  She cracked her knuckles.  “And make some salt rivers flow.”  A strange blue fly buzzed out of her backpack and crawled onto her shoulder as she typed away on her laptop.  It crept up towards her neck and looked at the computer screen for a moment as the home screen of Champion’s Arena flashed on the screen.  Then the bug sunk its teeth into her neck.”

             “Oww.”  She slapped at her neck, but the fly buzzed away.  “What in the world was that?”  Quin shook her head and grabbed her headset.  “Whatever. I need to focus.  I have to practice for both Pam and me now that she is a giant blueberry. Sheesh.”

              Quin logged into the game server and noticed that none of her teammates were on.  “Where is everyone?  Please don’t tell me I have to group with random people to practice tonight.”  Quin rolled her eyes.  “Things are just going great today.  I can’t even get the smell of blueberries out of my head.”  She sighed.  “Well, I guess I should stop wasting time and just queue for a game even though it is going to suck.”

              As she navigated the game menu, the smell of blueberries intensified.  “Oh god. I might have to turn on a fan or something.”  She waved her hand.  “This is getting a bit ridiculous.  It is almost like Pam is still here.  I do think she is kind of lucky.  Being so big and blue like that.”  Quin ran her hand along the side of her leg.  “All of that juice flowing inside of your body.  Making your insides squirm.  It must be so nice.”  Quin shook her head.  “What in the world am I saying?  I need to just play a game and put Pam and this blueberry nonsense out of my mind.”
