Summary:
Garrett Hawke is a simple guy. He likes simple things. Things like playing MMORPGs with his friends. Their guild, Wicked Grace, has been pretty exclusive for a while. But, when the guild becomes interested in recruiting a new member - an elven warrior named Fenris - what used to be a “fun way of passing time” becomes “Operation: Hard in Hightown” (or, as Isabela calls it, “Operation: Get Hawke Laid”). Needless to say, this operation is anything but simple.
I grip my steering wheel. “I don’t own any music by Lady GaGa.” We’ve been in this truck for an hour, with around three more to go. Not sure how I feel about it descending into Pop Music Hell just yet.
Ah, yes. Pop Music Hell. The second ring of Hell, right after Craft Foam Hell.
“Liar!” Isabela hits the back of my seat. “I know you listen to Monster on repeat when we’re farming for materials.”
“Is that MMO-talk?” Bethany asks.
“Yes, Sunshine, it is,” Isabela replies.
“Hey! Monster’s a good song!” I holler, choosing to ignore the particularly cutesy name Isabela has bestowed upon my younger sister.
(I’m certain that Varric played a hand in this. He’s all about nicknames…)
“Aha!” Isabela shoves the back of my seat again. “So you do have her music!”
