[The comm flickers on then gets tossed onto a coffee table to show Troy, drama jock extraordinaire looking distractedly off screen, Xbox 360 controller in hand and headset on. He looks to be halfway through a game, cursing the gaming Gods and shouting out to the teammates every now and then but still managing to talk anyway. Nothing shuts this kid

Is this another of those.. video games? [looks intrigued] It sounds.. explosive.

[bet_on_bolton]

Yup! And it totally is explosive. I just stickied a dude. He blew up in pieces. El-oh-el, man.

[stillawitch]

[...is he speaking in code]

[just. peers at. uncomprehending smile!]

[bet_on_bolton]

[The silence from her has him glancing at the comm and blinking curiously. Oh, hey, hot babe.]

Heh, guess you don't really play them, huh?

[voice]

[helokitynkevlar]

Halo, huh?

At least you have all of your games...

[permavid]

[bet_on_bolton]

Yup!

Hey, I came here with nothing too, I just saved up and got myself an Xbawx and the best games.

[permavid! oh snap]

[helokitynkevlar]

No, it's more like I have the money but I can't find what I like to distract myself with.

[bet_on_bolton]

Ooh, okay. Uhm. Games don't distract you enough?

[boogaroos]

[bet_on_bolton]

[Cole's on video looking a little bruised up because HURRRRRRRRRRRR. Probably answer enough to what he does when he gets bad news.]

Think I was gonna get that. Forget why I didn't.

[Besides the fact that mun is more of a Battlefield chick Probably because of copwork.]

[bet_on_bolton]

Hey, well you can come over and play it, man. I got another controller.

[Busy killing noobs. He'll look in a sec.]

[imonabike]

[Fine with him, he just felt like putting up video.]

I'm on the beat now. We're on our toes after everything that's happened. I'll try and find some time t'morrow.

[bet_on_bolton]

Oh, lame. But sure, if you get some time tomorrow, let me know, I got work in the afternoon but other than that I'm cool.

[And now the games drawing to an end so he spares a look to his comm]

-- Dude, you get hit by a bus or something?

[Voice]

[ascending_angel]

It is lame and nothing new, unfortunately. You ask me, someone declaring war on someone else because of this and that every three to four months is getting really repetitive.

[permavid]

[bet_on_bolton]

Toooootally repetitive, bossman. It's like, bad mojo. I kinda wish they're stop fighting and talk it out or something.

[permavid too why not]

[ascending_angel]

Same. How many things are there really left to blow up? I mean, honestly.

[bet_on_bolton]

One day, dude, one day, maybe they'll realise. Once I get my powers real strong, I'm gonna bring peace to the whole world. Seriously.
