realityshifted | Survival Horror!!!!

[Deathmatches? Whatever, who cares. You know what really matters? Video Games. In fact, Ray and Chris care very much about this video game. It's Resident Evil 3 if you must know. They're sitting on a couch with a table between them and the TV. Said table already has a few beers finished or half-finished along with bags of crisps and various snack foods.

Ray is the one with the controller but they're both very into the game at the moment. Should you disturb them? Well, take a listen and see!]

[Chris has a hand on Ray's shoulder for moral support.] Uh, no, no, Ray, you gotta get behind the desk! 'Cos it can't fire through it. Ray!

I'm behind the bloody desk! Look! Desk! I'm runnin' into the damn thing! [totally running into the desk for emphasis!!!]

Maybe you need to run into it more? Oh, shit, he's gonna fire! You gotta run!

I can't run if you're yellin' at me! [attempt at dodging the rocket!!! attempt successful!!!] Shit, I don't think me bullets're goin' over the desk or sommat.

[Making vague and wild hand gestures.] Try the grenades! The launcher thing. It'll launch'em like...over it.

We already used those on the stairs, div! Okay, I think... maybe if when he's shootin', I go 'round the desk, shoot him, then go back behind it.

Yeah, yeah, do that, just careful 'cos he's a fast bastard.

[Who cares if they're fighting Nemesis? Bug them anyway! There's tons of beer and food at least?]

[Ray just-

what?

goddamnit why does everyone have powers in this place you know what he's just going to let her have the damn thing and just drink a beer instead.]

Fine. Have at.

[VICTOLY

and Suiseiseki proceeds to suck the crap out of this game and dies. repeatedly

enjoy her yelling and, inevitably, throwing the controller at the telly]

It cheated, desu!

[Ray grins just a bit.]

It didn't cheat, you just didn't know what you were doin'.

[Ray attempts to get the controller without getting up.]

An' you were tryin' to do one of the hardest bosses in the game right off. 's no good doin' that. It'd be like handin' it to Chris and tellin' him to do it when he hasn't played a second of it.

I-I definitely knew what I was doing, desu! It just didn't want to work!

Nothin' wrong with not knowing how to do something when you first start, luv.

[He tips his beer back and skips the FMV.]

Alright, if you wanna give it a try, I'll set it on a new game and on easy, so you can get a hang of it.

[What can Ray say? Despite her being somewhat of a brat he does like kids.]

[bonding over survival horror games? in MY RP? nevaaaar]

It definitely doesn't have to be on easy, desu! [it does] But you can start a new game for me. I'll show you how good I am from the beginning, desu!

[Ray just shakes his head a bit and sets it on normal and passes the controller over.]

Just don't throw it at the telly again, alright?

[aaand she starts the game! and still sucks at it, but oh well]

Ah! Why isn't he running where I want him to go, desu? He keeps hitting the wall!

You gotta use the joysticks. Push 'em around until you get a hang of it. [He reaches over and flicks one for emphasis.]

[does so, though it takes her some time to get used to it] I-I'm really not this bad, desu!

[Ray kicks his feet up on the table.]

Don't gotta justify yourself to me, kid. If you're new, you're new, so what? Know I wasn't great at it when I started.

I'm not a kid, desu!

[Ray tilts his head to the side.]

You look like one.

I'm a Rozen Maiden, desu!

... No idea what those are, luv.

A Doll! Father made us, desu...

[He gives her a somewhat confused look.]

You don't look like a doll. You look like a kid to me.

[He gestures over at the telly.]

Better pause it if you wanna talk some. Don't think you wanna start over, eh?

Of course I am!

[but gah! pausing! and then she's in his face]

I am not a kid, desu!

Alright, alright, whatever you say, luv. [He shrugs and leans back.] Far be it for me to say anythin', should just assume everybody ain't what they look like.

[Ray still thinks she's a kid anyway, but if she wants to say she's a doll, whatever, it's not harming anything.]
