The random musings of a casual World of Warcraft hunter who randomly raids, PvPs, and tracks pets. Apparently, you can't take the hunter out of the game or the hunter out of the player.

When Floof became Leo
So I suppose this was obvious to everyone but me, but Floof has attached himself into the permanent family as the first primary rotating pet. He couldn't stay under that name (as he was never supposed to), so he has changed his identifier to Leo. I was a bit concerned that he wouldn't like the name and would lose his luckiness, but if my latest dream was accurate, he hasn't. (Said dream indicated that Veph and I would have seen Blood Seeker if we had stayed up the extra couple of hours.)

Floof really is lucky
So I had my third ever WoW dream. No, it wasn't Skoll again. It was the TLPD. He was flying south from Brunnhildar.
I woke up and got my comp on as quickly as I could. For some reason, my USB ports weren't activating and my mouse wasn't working. Groggy, I thought it was just being slow to kick in, so I made do throughout the rest of the proceedings; I wouldn't get mouse activity again until I rebooted afterwards.
It took WoW forever to open. When I finally got logged in, I selected the wrong character. I had to wait through the load screen twice. As I logged into Kalli, fully prepared to port to Dalaran and fly over, I realized that I had actually logged out at the waterfall spawn point with Floof out and on passive. I was stunned that I'd been so prepared, especially since I had almost hearthed before relogging the day before.
I mounted up in a daze and flew a few yards to the right, so I was hovering over the waterfall itself. I didn't see anything, but my instinct told me to stay put. Sure enough, within 30 seconds, NPCscan and SilverDragon alerted me that TLPD was up. I didn't jump. I wasn't surprised to see him, since I knew he'd be there. It was one of those things. It took me a moment to actually get a visual on him, since my settings are so low on this computer. He was exactly where I dreamed he would be: flying south from Brunnhildar, just over the mountain's edge. That was when my hands started shaking uncontrollably and I completely lost my head; I saw nothing but him and thought of nothing beyond figuring out how the hell I was going to pull him with no mouse. I attempted to dismount and pull him with arcane shot at the top of the waterfall, but my trembling hands didn't let me do so until he had flown out of range. I parachuted down and groped for my mount button, flying after him as quickly as I could. He didn't seem to be flying that fast; I was just shaking horribly. He was flying low over the ground just below the waterfall, so I body pulled him and dragged myself to the snow below, fumbling for arcane shot. He followed me and the tag worked. I couldn't believe it. Seconds later, he lay dead before me and I looted him with shaking hands.
I don't even know how or why this happened. He just decided to call me. I hadn't even been in Storm Peaks for myself yesterday; I was helping Gigglez camp. Why the TLPD decided he wanted me now, I don't know. If not for the dream, he would have gone unspotted. Hopefully, he'll decide to spawn again sooner rather than later. Floof and I shall be there to find him and help get him home!
So...meet Morpheus. :)

But I don't even like him!
I'm not even sure what happened earlier. I might as well have been intoxicated for as fuzzy as this whole thing is in my head.
While on break during rated battlegrounds tonight, my rare sense suddenly went off. It was for a rare in Twilight Highlands. This never happens. I have very little experience spotting rares in that zone, and in two cases, my rare sense went off in the immediate area of the spawn (Karoma near Crucible of Carnage and Sambas over by Victor's Point for my friend). As I flew over the Highlands and crossed off Karoma's spawn points one by one, I realized I knew who it was. It had to be Sambas, simply because of how he spawned for me when I was looking out for him for my friend (I flew into the zone, parked over Victor's Point, got queued into an instance, and he was walking around that spawn when I came out, just as I knew he would be).
Naturally, it was him. He was at the spawn northeast of Victor's Point.
I couldn't find anyone to tame him. I didn't really expect to, though. I knew he had attached himself to me, for better or for worse. I guess he decided he liked me after I went to look for him for my friend. I am not a fan of the floofy lion. -_- I never have been. But....he liked me. I couldn't turn him away. What was I supposed to do?
So.....yeah. Meet Floof the Sambas. No, he's not the original Floof, and no, he's not staying. Icarus will be returning from his brief vacation soon.
Next Day Followup: It seems that Floof is psychic. My Pottermore beta account was activated today and naturally, I was sorted into Gryffindor. For those who don't know, the Gryffindor symbol is a lion.
I definitely do not know what to make of all this.

Yeah. I still don't even know. Crazy fluffball.
