Accidental Audio (Around the same time as Greg's.)

[alwaystakenotes]

Greg! Come back! I thought we were just gonna forget about it!

Can't we talk about this?!

...I don't think he's gonna come back. That was harsh.

...

You okay, Tory?

...damn it.

[ponchotexas]

... Tory? What's going on?

[alwaystakenotes]

...of course that recorded.

Greg just left. Looks like...it was a delayed bow out.

[ponchotexas]

That's... kinda weird. I didn't hear him.

[alwaystakenotes]

That's because we weren't in the apartment.

[ponchotexas]

Oh.

[He's a little doubtful because that doesn't sound like the Greg he knows, but he also knows this place has changed him a lot]

... you... you okay?

[alwaystakenotes]

...

Do you play first person shooters?

[ponchotexas]

Sometimes. Why?

[alwaystakenotes]

Because I need to do something mindless and distracting for a while.

[ponchotexas]

Yeah, sure. The console is in the living room. I think Halo's still in there. [He tactfully leaves out that it's Greg's copy]

You wanna co-op or would you feel better shooting me in the head? [also, lame attempt at humor. You can has.]

[alwaystakenotes]

Co-op. Going in a PVP way while I'm like this will only end in a bad way.

[ponchotexas]

If it's any consolation, I suck at this game.

Door's unlocked, by the way.

[alwaystakenotes]

All the more reason not to do it. I'd start overthinking.

I'll be there soon.

[ponchotexas]

[By the time Tory gets there, Nick's already got the TV on and two controllers out, as well as a bowl of popcorn (hey, it works) and some sodas.]

Figured we might be here a while.

[alwaystakenotes]

Probably.

[He plops down, picking up a controller, Candmon watching Tory for a moment before wandering off.]

Let's go.

[And he is quite good at the game.]

[ponchotexas]

[True to his word, Nick isn't all that great, but he tries. Cassie is apparently sleeping through the entire thing on the top of the entertainment center. Some how.

Around the fifth or sixth go, Nick lets Tory go a few rounds against the CPU while pausing for a soda and a little snack.]

So... if I asked you something kinda blunt, would you totally freak out at me or what?

[alwaystakenotes]

That depends on what said blunt question is.

[Some he could handle, others he could not. He's still blasting away on the game though.]
