Hacking #07: Video Games (Closed)

[technologic]

Characters: April and Aleph
Setting: Floor 14
Format: Whichever, though starting with brackets.
Summary: In which April tries to be a good girlfriend and tries to cheer Aleph up after what has happened over the past day or so.

[Despite April's general lack of social skills and tact, she did like to make people she cared about happy. And even April could tell that Aleph wasn't happy, so of course she felt that she needed to do something about this.

Which is why later that day, Aleph will end up being dragged to the media room by April, who is looking equal parts determined and nervous about this.] ... I also made some food too, and it's none of that cafeteria stuff.

[and she'll point at said food in a basket when they walk into the room.]

[technologic]

[He is an ass.

But hey, at least they won the mini game.] ... Ah, that was close. Would've really sucked if we lost coins now.

[alephbet]

[Badum tish.]

With that over with, I think we've got this in hand. [He'll ask for a fistbump later.]

[technologic]

[Gotta teach her what a fist bump is first.]

Right! Just gotta get ourselves some stars and then this game is ours.

[alephbet]

A decisive victory. [:D]

[technologic]

Yeah!

[And hey, she manages to get a star.] Right, just a few more turns and we should win.

[alephbet]

I completely expected it from the beginning.

[technologic]

Of course! Against the both of us, there was no way the AI could win.

[alephbet]

[He holds his hand out for a fistbump.]

[technologic]

[Blink, blink. And then she holds her fist out, though she just holds it in front of his and gives him a curious look.]

[alephbet]

[Bump!]

[technologic]

[Staaaaaaaaare.]

... What was that?

[alephbet]

A fistbump.

[technologic]

... Fistbump? What does a fistbump do?

[alephbet]

It's to congratulate yourself and others... I think.

[technologic]

Oooooh. [Pause.] So it's like a quieter way of going 'Yay'?

[alephbet]

Exactly.

[technologic]

Aha, I see! That's pretty clever... I'll make sure to use this more often, then.

[April learned the move Fistbump!]

[alephbet]

I'm glad to be your teacher.

[technologic]

I am grateful to you for teaching me this.

[Now watch as she abuses it. And hey more coins.] Mm, we're almost at the end, now.

[alephbet]

[Aleph snags himself a star right before the end, too.] Flawless.

[technologic]

Awesome! Now we just have to hope they didn't get a lot of bonus stars... [And hey, they didn't. VICTORY.] Aha, we won!

[alephbet]

Great!

...but a dancing game next.

[technologic]

Okay, I'll agree to that. [Give her a sec to pull out the DDC mat thingy and set it up.]

[alephbet]

[Oooh what song do they get to play first :D]

[technologic]

[First song is 'Internal Validity' which is one of those catchy pop songs. And a fast-paced one too.]
