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.]

Comments

[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.]

[alephbet]

[Watch him rock this shit.]

[technologic]

[And April tries to keep up. Keyword is try.

Cause Aleph kicks her ass at this.]

[alephbet]

[Sorry April. Only not sorry at all.]

[technologic]

[At least she's in good shape, so she isn't tired after the first round.]

... Well, I lost, but my score isn't too bad. [Compared to Aleph who probably got 100% or something.]

[alephbet]

You're doing better.

[technologic]

Hmm? You think I am?

[alephbet]

Yeah. You got a B on that one, and it's a hard song.

[technologic]

Mmm, that's true... [Pause as she thinks for a few moments.] ... Okay, my goal on this is to get an A on a song. Even if only barely.

[alephbet]

I know you can do it. Let's see what the shuffle brings up next.
