Thread 5: Two birds with one stone (quietblack)

[stalkerwithacap]

[The two birds being: 1) relieving frustration, and 2) getting back in shape after recent events made him laze around too much.
So he's training. Again. Thankfully it's not as violent as the last time you might've found him at it, but he's used the fact that the girls were occupied with Beryl and Sapphire is sleeping to go out and get a good workout, and now he's gone to practicing hits and dodges. The dummy's back, in a better state than last time.
He's not caught up in it as much as last time so he'll probably feel anyone approaching]

[there isn't much to see, really. The door to his room is closed, the kitchen's mostly practical, and there's a ladder leading into a hole in a corner of the living room space.
Other than that, the table you're sitting at, a sofa and a tv with various consoles plugged]

[quietblack.livejournal.com]

[He focuses on the consoles for now.]

You play video games a lot?

[stalkerwithacap.livejournal.com]

Less than before but yeah.
[he puts a mug of chocolate down in front of you]
Keeps me occupied.

[quietblack.livejournal.com]

Yeah, haven't been able to find much to do so I just read. What kind of games you play?

[stalkerwithacap.livejournal.com]

Fighting games, RPGs.. a few other things, but I'm not as good on those.
[and suddenly he remembers tetris. there's a fraction of second of pause]

[quietblack.livejournal.com]

I'm not that great at games, but I do like RPGs. Kinda like reading a book, only it takes longer.

[stalkerwithacap.livejournal.com]

[sipping his coffee] We can speed-run one one of those days if you want. It's been ages since I did that.

[quietblack.livejournal.com]

[He laughs before taking a sip of his chocolate.]

Where's the fun in that? Gotta immerse yourself in the story to have the most fun.

1/2

[stalkerwithacap.livejournal.com]

But that way you get all the story without the grinding. It's even more fun that way.

[stalkerwithacap.livejournal.com]

'f course, you gotta be tough enough to handle the battles.

[quietblack.livejournal.com]

Hey, I like the pacing out, okay?

[His smile turns sheepish.]

I do okay in random battles for the most part, but I always get stuck on bosses and can't finish the game...

[stalkerwithacap.livejournal.com]

[laugh]
Call for help next time?
If your pride can handle it. [teasing grin]

[quietblack.livejournal.com]

I'd like to see them finished. Too bad my save files are at home.

[stalkerwithacap.livejournal.com]

Tough luck. Guess you'll have to start over again~

[quietblack.livejournal.com]

Heh, I think I can deal with that.

[stalkerwithacap.livejournal.com]

[just grin and siiiiip, you're putting him in a good mood.
And then after a few sips]
So anyway. I'm curious now. How's it back home?

[quietblack.livejournal.com]

That's a broad topic. What do you want to know about?

[stalkerwithacap.livejournal.com]

Dunno. Said you lived with your mum, didn't you? What about friends? Did you get trolled by Belle and that other guy like the others?
And that prof, I hear she's hot.

[quietblack.livejournal.com]

Don't know any Belle. I was the only kid my age in town. You mean Araragi? She and her friend Makomo were good friends of my mom. They taught me everything I know.

[stalkerwithacap.livejournal.com]

Weird...
[smirk] Oho, did someone grow up around two hot women?~
Lucky boy.

[quietblack.livejournal.com]

How's that weird...?
[Were ya hoping for him to get flustered? He just looks kinda nonchalant about it.] I guess you'd call them that. They're kinda like my aunts, always there and always helping me out.

[stalkerwithacap.livejournal.com]

The others I've met had these two childhood friends... a cute one an an obnoxious one apparently. The girl's pretty nice, I've met one.
[... you're such a mama's boy, Dot]

[quietblack.livejournal.com]

Really...

[stalkerwithacap.livejournal.com]

Well, alternate worlds can be weird I guess.
[d'aww don't give him that look]

[quietblack.livejournal.com]

Guess mine is a little different than most...
[Not like he was lonely as a kid or anything. Especially not after Touko left.]
