015 ♐ there is life outside your apartment! ♐ ᴏᴘᴇɴ
Characters: Equius Zahhak and YOU YOU YOU!
Setting: Media room.
Format: Whichever.
Summary: It's not often that Equius goes to the media room all by himself; he doesn't really care enough about most forms of media to head down there. But sometimes, you just get the irresistible urge to play some good ol' violent video games... or, in this case, good ol' non-violent video games, because guess who's playing a knock-off of Animal Crossing: City Folk.
Warnings: Pretty much none.
[Sometimes, shit happens, and the only way to deal with that shit is to sit in a comfortable chair you've sat in a billion times before and… talk to cute animal villagers.]
[As opposed to the usual cacophony of shooting and loud music that comes from the Media Floor, today there's only one sound — some nice, soothing music, maybe a little bit upbeat as it's the middle of the day. Every so often, there are noises that sound like possibly-human voices put through Audacity one too many times. And sitting in a veritable cocoon of blankets, all by his lonesome, with a ridiculously huge mug of tea losing its heat on the end table, is one Equius Zahhak.]
[Some douchebag started a game already. They named their town TOWER WONDERFUCK and the four player characters were JASON, RUANA, RIKI, and ZO.]
[Probably because they thought it was funny.]
[Equius was now going through the motions of starting a new town, a town known as Alternia, and the main character was — for whatever reason — a female who he gave a random human name pulled out of his memory. At least she had nicer hair. Nicer, pink hair. In three ponytails. Okay, her hair was kind of weird, but he preferred three ponytails to having to stare down Jason the whole time.]
[If approached in this state, he might or might not care about you or your lonely soul — although if you bothered to bring it up to him, and also quoted the Tower version of Les Misérables, then he might care a little about your lonely soul. (There's a difference, you see, in the references, they bond people together.) Honestly, he's sitting here playing this utterly nonviolent video game because he's kind of feeling shitty himself, what with the events and the monsters and the spending a week-and-then-some in the hellish remains of a ruined land and… yeah. Equius liked to tell himself that he was used to the horrors of the Tower by now, he could handle whatever they threw at him, but the fact of the matter was that he couldn't. No one could. If people could handle it, the Tower wouldn't use it.]
[So hey, maybe you think the game is cute or you want to use the console or you're pissed that he's occupying like all the blankets. Whatever. But there's a dude here who looks like a lady, playing a video game for girls.]
[What do?]

[ IN CASE IT WASN'T OBVIOUS YET. Or well, since it's her play pretend, it's not that obvious.. ]
I hate those.
no subject
[Equius gives her kind of a weird look.]
Um, so... did you want to play in here or...?
no subject
Uh-huh, I guess I was playing that game along with you. [ Without asking in advance. ] It seemed like fun.
no subject
[He looks uncomfortably at the screen, and then unwraps himself from the blanket cocoon.]
If you wanna play the, uh, the actual game, you can go ahead.
no subject
[ She blinks at him, even tilting her head sideways a little bit. ]
I don't want to stop your fun..
