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]

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.]

[technologic]

Nope, it wasn't. Now you just gotta put up with me practicing dancing a lot until I get to your level.

[alephbet]

I guess it's too late now.

[technologic]

Yep, far too late. But you don't mind too much, right?

[alephbet]

Not exactly.

[technologic]

Glad to hear it! Now I won't feel too bad about it.

[alephbet]

Good, I didn't want to make you feel bad.

[technologic]

[April giggles quietly and then stretches quickly.] Hehe... And this also means that I can't miss my dancing sessions with you.

[alephbet]

That's right. You have to keep up all the time.

[technologic]

I can do that! I don't tire out easily, after all.

[alephbet]

You're as good a fighter as I am.

[technologic]

Eh? [And she turns a bit more red, even as she smiles.] Um-y-yeah, since I'm stronger than I look.

[alephbet]

I'd hate to get into a real fight with you.

[technologic]

You would? You worried I would beat you?

[alephbet]

A little, yeah.

[technologic]

Well, I wouldn't use my powers, so you don't have to worry too much.

[alephbet]

And I wouldn't use my demons. I don't think you could beat all of us together.

[technologic]

Yeah, I really doubt that I could. I know I'm not that strong.

[alephbet]

Sorry. You probably don't want to get an ego that big anyway.

[technologic]

My head would probably explode if I got an ego that big, anyway.

[alephbet]

We wouldn't want that, it might be hard to put you back together.
