Erin stood in front of the game, making a face at it. It was one of those old games where you used a sort of laser thing shaped like gun to kill the zombies or lunatics or whatever generic thing you had to kill today. So far Erin had managed to beat the High Score but was now unable to beat her own one and the effort had drained her wallet to a mere shadow of itself.
She pointed a finger at the offending game menacingly, "Just you wait, game, just you wait. Security won't be around to save you from me forever, and when they're not, I will be." She patted her pockets, "Right, now who has a quarter?"

"Here ya go..." comes a velvety voice from somewhere behind the offending game. There is a faint ping and a whirling sound as a quarter flips through the air and lands on the console of said game.
Davion stands at another game, a shooter aswell. This one fighting what appears to be Nazi's. He has been standing there for about 20 minutes now. Every few seconds it seems that a deep voice declares over the games speakers 'HEAD SHOT,' with a few mixed in other achievments aswell.
Davion does not even seem to be paying attention to the game anymore, he had beaten it's high score some time ago and the difficulty was allready maxed out. But he continues on firing away, all the while looking for something else to keep him entertained.

Erin shrugged, popping the coin into the slot. She picked up the gamegun and started firing. She was pretty good at it, though not as good as he was. "Thanks for that," she said cheerily, "I think I might beat the fucker this time. Lucky coin, huh?"

-click "HEADSHOT" click "DOUBLE-KILL" click "TRIPLE-KILL"
Davion glances over at the game the girl is playing and then at the girl. He smiles "You mean these games actually have an ending..? I thought it was just endless waves of enemies..." he says glancing back at his game. He does not even look like he is playing anymore. He is leaning up against the console with one hand holding the gun while the other is holding a soda. But still he is able to play.
-click "HEADSHOT" click "HEADSHOT" click "HEADSHOT"
Davion glances over at the girl again, sets down his soda, and extends his hand. "I'm Davion by the way." he says, flashing her a charming smile as his tail flicks lazily back and forth behind him.

"There's no endings, but there's a time when it just realises that it's run out of all enemy combos and shit and then you get a You Win. No refund though, which sucks." she grasped his hand, shaking it firmly and enthusiastically, "I'm Erin, nice to meetya. Nice tail by the way, does it does tricks or it it just for show?"

Davion laughs lightly. "My tail..?" he says, giving it a sidewards glance. "I think it would be classified as just for show, though it does come in handy from time to time." he says, glancing back up at Erin. "Unless you consider distracting ones' self a trick." He says with a wry grin.
He takes a sip of his soda as the screen of his game goes black. Next level. He grins...
-click ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... "TRIPLE-KILL"

"And hey, it might be fun if you find a girl into that sort of thing," Erin said, winking at him. She turned her attention back to the game, but lost anyways. She put down the gun carefully then said cheerfully, "Man, am I gonna bust this up with a crowbar tonight. She turned, leaning against the game casually, stopping anyone else from getting near it either, "You're good at that." she said approvingly.

Davion grins "I was a sharpshooter in the military. So I guess I'm kinda cheating." he says with a grin. He then flicks his wrist in the general direction of the game Erin is leaning against. As he does this several quarters drop into the change return slot. "Why break things that give you gifts..?" he asks, motioning towards the game and the change.

"Because they give me nothing usually. And you're a sharpshooter? Cool. I'm a sort of freelance sniper, buy my pops was military. Awesome guy too." she scooped the change out of the machine and pocketed it.

"Sniper huh..? Sounds fun." he says with a grin. "HEADSHOT" Never got much use of the rifles though in my unit. We used... Alternative weapons." he says, the last bit causing him to grin slyly.

"Well, I haven't had the chance to go into the army yet, been busy trying to get my stupid little sister through school and all that. She's such a pain and my other sis is off in Europe with her husband dancing around naked or whatever that lot do." Erin rolled her eyes, "So what about you, huh?"

Davion smiles "I just hit retirement." he says with a grin. Though he looked to be only in his late teens he was really in his late sixties. "So I came back home and am looking for something to do now." he says, as he finishes speaking the screen of the game he is playing goes black again. Then, sprawled across the screen in big red letters are two words.
YOU WIN[/color]
Davion laughs lightly at the sight and places the pistol in its holster. He then looks over at Erin again. "So, I'm guessing you would be the eldest child in your family then..?" he asks.

"I told you now, didn't I?" Erin said smugly, "And hey, you look sorta young to retire, but whatever. And yeah, I'm the eldest kid, for all my sins. Never get away with nothing, but I do get away with clipping the rest of the arsehole across the ear!"

Davion laughs lightly. "Oh, I know how that is. I'm the youngest of two." he says with a grin and shakes his head. "I get away with whatever I want, it's quite nice. Then again, my sister usually gets away with shatever she does too... So I guess it doesn't really count." he says with a shrug.
Davion cracks his knuckles and leans up against the game, back to the screen. "So, seeing as we are both most definately done with these games..." he says, motioning to those they had been playing, "What would you like to do Erin..?" he asks with a grin.

"Can I change that to who? Joking, joking!" she said, putting her hands up and laughing. "But I'd like to try another game. There's twoplayer ones, you know. If you're up for it, you could play one with me."

Davion laughs lightly, smiling wryly at her comment. "Two player... Hmmm." he shrugs "What the hell, why not." he says spinning himself off of the game, tail flicking lazily side to side. His ears twitch slightly as he stands up, He looks over to a game that several people had attempted and all failed at within the first few minutes. "How about that one.?" he asks nonchalantly.

"Looks good to me," Erin said, walking over to it and picking up it's gamegun. "It's a lot nicer to hold too, actually," she commented, "So this'll be fun."
The game was part of a sort of online tournement. Two players would try get the highest score they could to beat players from wherever. Whoever beat the highest score would get game tickets that could be refunded for money or little gimmicky toys that the arcade sold.

Davion grins, picking up the pistol, and inserts a coin into the slot. "This could be interesting I suppose." he says with a wry grin as he awaits the game to start. He had never done an online competition before, but if it was anything like what his buddies had come up with in the military it would be very interesting indeed.

The game started. It involved a lot more strategy than the common FPS games in the arcade and at least a little teamwork. It also required a fast trigger finger due to the almost overwhelming hordes of enemies.
Never one for either Erin just shot at any of the enemies that were closer and figured Davion'd get the hint and shoot the ones farther away.

Davion was not one to only go for one type of target. So he shot EVERYTHING. One shot, two kills. He was very good at that. So he protected both his side of the screen and those that Erin was not hitting in the back of the screen. He grinned looking over at Erin "So... What is so hard about this..?" he asks with a grin...

"Fuck if I know. I think people in general just suck, you know that? They're all sucky, Commie bastards." she said, "Only awesome person is me. Don;t know about you. You might be. You're on a trial for that by the way."

Davion turns to look at Erin and grins faintly. "Oh, I'm on trial." he asks with a sadistic laugh. -click ... ... TRIPLE-KILL!!! "Well I will just have to do my best to pass." he says and winks at Erin.

"Damn right you will. I gotta see if you're worth my time after all." Erin said. It's a bit obvious that she's not not lacking in the confidence department anyways. The first wave of things ended, with a brief 30 second break in between.

Davion grins to himself at the comment. "Is that so..?" he asks with a grin, reloading his weapon as he does so. He glances over at Erin and waits for the next wave. "So, what would I have to do to become considered worthy of your time oh great one..?" he asks with a wry grin.

"Just wait and see," she said loftily, then grinned and punched his shoulder in a friendly way, "So stuff the snark right?" She paused then asked, "Hey, do you purr?"
|
|

Post by Davion on Dec 3, 2008 12:36:22 GMT -8
Davion grins faintly "I have been known to purr from time to time." he says, grinning faintly. "But only when in the right situations." He grins, clicking repeatedly as the game announcdes repeated kills and eadshots.

"I think I can guess what those 'certain situations' are," Erin snickered. "Cool though, because I like cats, especially when they purr. Hell, my first tattoo was a little kitty. Only a little one because I was fourteen and a big one would have driven pops apeshit."

Davion laughs lightly "Tatoos, those were the least of my parenty worries. They were more scared of me taking over nearbye countries or demsions than me geting self inflicted torture." he says with a grin.
Davion continues massicaring the opponents that dare to show their faces on the screen, not that they really have a choice as they are nothing but code. But he finds it ammusing to think of them as sentient beings.

"Eh, once pops realised it hurt he let me get as many as I wanted, to toughen up. Piercings too." she said, gesturing to the rows of golden hoops and red jewels on each ear, as well as a few on her left eyebrow. She also had a tongue piercing, though he wouldn't be able to see that. "And that would have been a dumb thing to do, the whole taking over places. Do you realise the paperwork involved in that shit? Trust me."

Davion laughs lightly, "Ah, but the way I do things all I do is the taking over, others get the privelage of doing my paperwork for me." he says with a grin. "But again, I never actually did any of this. I was a relativly good kid for the son of an evil and good being." he says with a shrug.
