I liked to have the AFK saying match my toon.
So imagine what you might want your character to say when you have to visit the plumbing.
My boardsword scrapper would say, "I have to go sharpen my sword, be right back."
A character I had named the Paragon Comptroller would say, "I have to go dispose of some liquid assets".
Sheldor is AFK
I have to go test the plumbing, BRB.
Brb...beer...
There's a clockwork in my kitchen, be right back.
To borrow a quote from the Simpsons: "Gangway! Gotta poop!"
Potty Emergency, Potty Emergency, Potty Emergency!
"GTG, cat on fire...."
I think I lost mapserver.
Stealing another post:

"Auto-following the brute while ball lightning is on auto fire. Let's see how long Skippy the Defender can keep me alive."
Or more crass:
"Afk. Baby in microwave."

Husband: Oh, was it good for you?
Wife: Yup, got a rare recipe, oh you mean ...
I now remember!
When nature called -
"Be right back. I have a pressing matter to attend to."
I know that you think I'm full of it.
Well, I won't be for long, brb.
The cat got out, Billy burned his finger, the dyer is done, the fire alarm is going off, Suzie got a splinter, the telephone is ringing, the guests have arrived and the roast is ready. Be right back.
Oh look a butterfly ...
When I was playing my big, manly, huge tank I would sometimes write: "AFK for a bit - need to go tinkle"
Funny story along these lines:
I had never heard the term "bio break" before CoH. CoH was my first MMO or online multiplayer game at all. So I knew a lot of people in my first SG prided themselves on having good character stories and always enjoyed reading their character's biographies, so I assumed people would mid mission randomly get ideas and say "bio break", stop, and add more to the story in their bios.
I, who wanted to be a writer at the time, felt like I was monumentally failing compared to everyone else, so I started doing what I thought they were, stopping mid mission and working on the biography for a bit while the rest of the team went on without me, only for a couple minutes at a time.
It wasn't until someone asked why I kept saying "Okay, done with bio, just going to go to the bathroom real quick and I'll catch up." that I found out I had been very mistaken.
mine was brb got mow the Devouring Earth....
Super Fire Dragon would say, "Got to go drain the lizard, be right back."
Synapse is at the door proposing, excuse me while I get my gun
or
Ms Liberty and I are having ladies night out at Pocket D...byyeee!
(wait until the final AV in a TF)
I am joking of course, I never fail to finish a TF, even if the team bails
Attention Teammates! Attention Teammates! I will be away from my keyboard for a while. Please do not interact with my character until I return. Thank you for your attention.
When someone wants to walk away from their keyboard I had a response for that...
Unattended Avi's are fair game (pops open a pack of colored magic markers) :)
brb fish is drowning
I appear to have sprung a leak. Be right back after the water works stop.
I don't know if this will be against the posting rules. So I'll be careful. When my parents had their Jackrussel. I'd have to walk him threw out the night. So while I was teaming I'd type "brb got to walk the dog."
Well a few time I'd have a type-o from being half asleep and I'd type "brb got to walk the do&g." Just put an N where the & is :P.
Needless to say, I'd come back to everyone typing. "I just can't stop laughing...." in chat. LOL!
"This is my break to make up for all you people who take smoke breaks..."
Hey, the union says I got 2 ten minute breaks an hour, brb.
I'm going to stand here doing nothing for several minutes, feel free to continue the mission.
Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny and the Totth Fairy want to give me a bunch of presents, be right back.
I have an overwelming urge to test the plumbing, be right back.
