"Thanks. Sorry your test didn't go so well," Aiden says. "Wish I was better at cheering people up in ways that don't involve going off and beating up bad guys."

"Eeeeh. It'll be okay. Man, don't even worry about it. Beating up bad guys is great. Let's get back to it."

Aiden grins. Why was he feeling unsure of himself anyway? "Yeah, sounds good. You wanna take over?"

"Naaaah. I appreciate it, but you're a lot better at this type game than I am, and it's more fun watching you kick people into the dirt."

"Yeah, stylish action is pretty fun to watch," Aiden says, turning most of his attention back to the game, though he occasionally gets distracted for some reason.

Catherine continues to watch, commenting on when he does something really well, and cringing properly at various moments of pain.

Aiden flinches at one particular time he dies ingame to Beowulf. "Hey Cath," he says, nonchalantly tossing a controller over his shoulder to Catherine, "You're picking the next game."

Catherine's Room A

"Owwwwww. OW." Catherine says, the first aimed at him dying, then the second about getting bonked in the nose by the controller. She scrabbles to catch it, and after some hilarity, manages to get it out and hold it properly. "Mmkaaaay. I vote foooor." She pauses to think. "Have you ever played the Halo games? It's fitting, because we're in HALO."

"Whup, sorry bout that," Aiden says when Catherine gets bonked. "Uuuuuh, nope, can't say I have. Doomed space marines, right?"

"More or less, yeah." Catherine says, taking out the original Halo one and putting it into her xbox. "This is gonna be fun!"

"Well I'm ready then," Aiden says. Of course, he's barely played any shooter games, so he won't be very good at it. Big shock.

Catherine's Room A

Catherine really enjoys Aiden's inability to play shooters terrible well. His spinning around looking at the ground is particularly great. She never laughs at him though, because then he might never want to play again. But she offers him pointers, and finds it all terribly amusing.

"Oh geez, is there no lockon? Why is there no lockon?" Aiden asks. Although it isn't really that much of a question.

"Oh geez, is there no lockon? Why is there no lockon?" Aiden asks. Although it isn't really that much of a question.

Catherine's Room A

"Because this style of game doesn't lend well to lockon. Heck, lockon can get you banned if you find a way to implement it."

[Devixer]

Catherine's Room A

"What? That's a dumb reason to ban someone," Aiden says, still wresting with the controls.

"It can be, but it completely destroys any sense of fairness. You could, in theory, never lose if the computer aimed for you." Catherine says, before continuing on with "We could also switch to something else, if you wish."

[Arkhosia]

Catherine's Room A

"Ah haaaaah. Tell you what, next time you do it, I'll start getting after you in the most amusing way I can think of." Catherine 'threatens', grinning at him.



Catherine's Room B

((This would be later in the middle of the night))

Which means that baggage and Miria combined gets dropped onto the sleeping Catherine, who was, until that point, curled up happily on her bed of ice and plastic coins.
With a cry of utter nonsense, Catherine was startled awake, and started flailing a bit to get up and out from under the raining boxes and people.

um... Hi.
Miria greets (instead of before, she does now), her embarrassment obvious. This may be in part due to an awkward landing position or just due to the entry, I dunno.

Catherine's Room B

Catherine pants slightly, being startled awake and all. Then she blinks a few times, blushes, and curls her wings around herself to cover herself and what she's wearing. Or not, as the case may be. She is, from the moment Miria could see, wearing a fairly flimsy nightgown.
"Uhh. H-h-hey." Catherine stammers, entirely confused by why what is going on is going on. "Um. How. How are you doing?"

[Devixer]

Catherine's Room A

"Nah, this is what you wanted to play. I'll figure things out eventually," Aiden says. "So don't worry, I'll be a challenge before long."

Immeasurably embarrassed, but otherwise pretty good. I originally wanted to try and surprise you via teleportation, but kinda messed up at the time and location and stuff....
The now profusely blushing Miria replies, moving to get up from her prone position in the hoard of icy gold and slipping as a result with a startled cry.
Learned a few new tricks. Obviously none on balance though.
...Anything new on your end?

"Okeeedokeeee. If you'll be a challenge, do you want to, saaay, put a wager on that?" Catherine asks with an evil grin.

"Uh. Yes. That would make two of us immeasurably embarrassed. You succeeded in the surprise!" Catherine says, forcing a smile. "Buuut you're here now. So let's make the best of it I guess.

Um. Aside from people dropping in on me while I'm asleep, nooo. Not really.

Would you mind leaving so I could put clothing on?"

[Devixer]

Catherine's Room A

"Hmm..." Aiden makes a show of considering his options. "What kinda wager are we talking here?"

"Oooh, I dunnoooo. What have you got?" Catherine asks with a wolfish, tooth-bearing grin.

[Devixer]

Catherine's Room A

"Uh, my roguish good looks and charm?" Aiden gets a not-nearly-as-wolfish grin on his face.

"Didn't realize you could barter those." Catherine replies, still grinning at him. "And what do you want?"

[Devixer]

Catherine's Room A

"Uhhhh," Aiden hm's and um's for a few moments, considering some things. "I'll take another soda."

"If you win," Catherine says, after a bit of a pause, "you can have two."

[Devixer]

Catherine's Room A

"Wow, you are either generous or confident that you'll win," Aiden says. Of course, if she was confident, it wasn't exactly a misplaced confidence. "Deal."

[Mee]

Catherine's Room A

"Why not both?" Catherine asks with a shrug. "I did give you an amazing deal on the ice-cream yesterday.

Deal it is! After you get a bit better, as I believe the terms were."

[Devixer]

Catherine's Room

"And hey, I'm offering a great deal too, I must like you or something.

Sounds good to me. Now, uh, how do I switch weapons?" Aiden asks.
