Storytime: How my flats' funny fuse got my buddy killed.

[Ivanho (DayZ) 27]

So 2 friends of mine and I play DayZ. One of them is over at my place the other one is not.

 

We are OK-geared and are taking a dinner and inventory-tetris break in one of the estates in northern Berenzino. (By estates I mean the houses with the pianos)

So we are sitting there enjoying a short pause from all the action, when we hear somebody downstairs. I carefully walk down the stairs  and see a Bambi with a SKS aiming at them.

Me: "HELLLOOOOOO" (like the guy from Borderlands 2 whose name i forgot)

No response.

Me: "HELLOOOOOO"

Him: "You are fucked!"

Me: "Look buddy. We don't have to fight. I am a friendly guy."

I roll into his view and roll out again. BANG BANG BANG. He's shooting. Well.

"Ok" i think to myself "this is one unreasonable fellow".

So I am sitting in a corner of the stairs rolling in and out of his view screaming "HELLOOO" and he continues to tell me that I am fucked. Everybody of my group is having lots of fun so far.
I am checking once more where he is, and he is approaching. So I go upstairs a little (I didn't want to Rambo down there with a Mosin vs. a SKS).

After nothing is happening for a while I intend to go down a little and see what our friend is doing. The very moment I spotted him and start to go up again MY ENTIRE ROOM GOES BLACK!!

No electricity. The friend who's sitting next to me and I are looking at each other terrified, our faces barely visible in the dark.
"Power-Outage?!"
"Must be."

We jump from our chairs and stumble out of the room. There is light in the Hallway of the House.
"Must be a fuse."

By then my flatmates get out of their respective rooms and look at us puzzeled, due to our mad behaviour.
"Hakuna your Tatas" one of them says. We are switching the fuse back in. Instantly pops out.
"Whoa whoa. Plug out the electronics first."
Me: "chances are we are dead by now anyway. :( "

So we plug out all the stuff. Get the shit back going and 10mins later we are up and running. We connect to our TS-Channel and our 3rd guy is still there.

Me: "Sorry bro. Fuse. Are we all dead?"
Him: "YOU are alive..."
...

Me: "aaand... you?"
Him: "I died.."
Me: "Oh I am so sorry. But it was very heroic of you, that you saved our asses, when we just sat there logging out. Are you mad?"

Him: "Check your facebook."

Me checking facebook reading: "AERJJSFPJFUOSRBJXNSKOMN ORIERJJSJIArbuqwbierbdjf34u9wu 459osnfj!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

1 min later we all laughed about the incident and shared the remaining loot brotherly after we met up again.

Cheers Ivanho

P.S: Sorry for any massive mistakes regarding my English. I hope you enjoyed that little tale of darkness and fear.

HA! Classic DayZ.

I seriously do hope this won't happen again. I guess the next time I play I have to force my flatmates to turn off all electronic devices.
"This is DayZ-Airlines please turn off your..."
