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.]

[alephbet]

I'm sure someday you'll save me from a rampaging piece of electronics.

[technologic]

And we can't let you be taken down by a piece of tech, after all. But don't worry, I'm pretty sure my powers could take care of it.

[alephbet]

My hero.

[technologic]

I'm glad to be of assistance! Plus, I care about you too much to let you be beaten up by tech.

[alephbet]

And I care about you too much to have people make fun of your dancing, or to steal your soul.

[technologic]

[Whoops, turning faintly red now. But she quickly laughs it off.] W-well, my dancing is kinda bad, so I don't care if people laugh. But I'm glad you would stop any potential soul stealing.

[alephbet]

It's still kind of mean, isn't it?

[technologic]

It is, but I don't care. I know I'm bad, so it doesn't matter to me if people laugh.

[alephbet]

That's not a bad attitude to have. But I might get mad at them for you anyway.

[technologic]

Eh? Y-you don't have to do that!

[alephbet]

I know I don't.

[technologic]

So then there's no reason to get mad.

[alephbet]

Don't think about it too much.

[technologic]

Huh? B-b-b-but... [Then she sighs and pouts slightly.] ... O-okay, if you say so.

[alephbet]

Do you want to keep dancing? Or do you need a break? [Ignoring that pout.]

[technologic]

I can keep going! I do have a lot of stamina, after all.

[alephbet]

All right.

[...why'd you pick the hardest song next shuffle.]

[technologic]

... Well, this song might wear me out a bit.

[Still gonna do her best though!]

[alephbet]

Go for it.

[Now shutting up because hard song.]

[technologic]

[She's shrugging the coat off for this one, because hard song and coat might get caught up.

And she actually manages to get an A on this song, but only by about one point, and Aleph more than likely won this too. She still looks pleased though.] Aha, I did it!

[alephbet]

Congrats!

[And she gets a kiss for her victory.]

[technologic]

[She squeaks quietly at the kiss and turns bright red, but it's soon returned. When she pulls away, she's still grinning, if not a bit more than before.] ... S-so, um, i-if I get an A+ someday, does that mean I get another kiss?

[alephbet]

I think you'll get more kisses in between now and then, but yes, you do.

[technologic]

[She's really red now, though she still looks perfectly cheerful.] I'll make sure to keep trying to get better then! And you never know, I might get as good as you at this someday.

[alephbet]

Well that wasn't smart of me.

[He's clearly joking.]
