[antipillar]

[In walks Lantis into the apartment. He's covered in snow and he's really trying not to drip on anything too much as he removes his armor.

But he can't stop his hair from dripping cold water all over him as the snow there melts.]

Eagle...it's still snowing. We should stay in.

[Because you know...he doesn't think about how Eagle just has to look out a window to notice that.]

Neither do I.

[The best way to find out is to take this game out of its case and place it into the machine. Then hand Lantis one of the controls. ]

This one does seem to have laser swords in it though.

...I guess we'll have to figure out how to use this.

[Meaning the control.]

Action

[eagleofautozam.livejournal.com]

It will be a disadvantage that the game can’t be controlled with mental energy…

[Already scheming on how to win this game as he too fiddle with the controls trying to work them out. ]

Action

[antipillar.livejournal.com]

That won't slow you down.

[Pause.]

The screens are...unique.

Action

[eagleofautozam.livejournal.com]

[True enough. Since button pushing wasn’t entirely unknown on Autozam once Eagle had time to figure out the controls he was kicking bad guy backside with the best of them. ]

I was thinking the characters were uniquely designed. They are so… blocky. Do you think they were meant to be that way?

[Unfamiliar with the blocky lego men figures. ]

[After being on Autozam, Lantis picks up the skills needed to manage this fast enough. Just push this to do this and this to do this...]

I'm...not sure.

Action

[eagleofautozam.livejournal.com]

[And Eagle discovers another useful feature. Suddenly leaning on Lantis’s arm jars his controls and makes for a sudden death as Lantis’s character plummets down an endless looking black hole. ]

Oops.

Action

[antipillar.livejournal.com]

[Lantis blinks then sighs. He knows that Eagle did that one on purpose. So he shifts the controller so that Eagle can't try that again.

Then moves through the game to kill Eagle instead. Without cheating.]

Action

[eagleofautozam.livejournal.com]

[That isn’t going to be too easy. I mean if this were a normal fight Eagle would likely fight as honorably as anyone else but this, this is a silly video game!
The game is played like it is supposed to be… until Eagle starts loosing… then other ways to distract Lantis are searched for. He can’t reach the control anymore, but Lantis himself isn’t out of reach.
So, as soon as he is able to look away from the screen without dying Lantis might discover his cheek being kissed.
Distraction enough for a quick kill? ]

Action

[antipillar.livejournal.com]

[Oh...he's winning. Lantis is so busy looking at the screen that he doesn't notice Eagle lean over and...

Wait... He looks over at Eagle, blinking. Then...

...Sigh. He fell for it.]

[ SMUG ]

I don’t think you are very good at this game, Lantis.

[What cheating? He's rubbing this win in anyway. ]

Action

[antipillar.livejournal.com]

You're cheating.

[Frown. Goes back in to play WITHOUT CHEATING.]

Action

[eagleofautozam.livejournal.com]

I didn’t see any rules that said I couldn’t distract you while we were playing.
Maybe there is a special section in the pamphlet that covers it?

Action

[antipillar.livejournal.com]

[Sigh. Back to trying to win this thing again.]

Action

[eagleofautozam.livejournal.com]

[~Smile~
Things like this are what give Lantis his reputation of being such a noble innocent person. ]


Cheating would never even enter your mind would it?

[Leaping over Lantis’s character in the game, Jedi-style. ]

Innocence is a charming quality… no wonder everyone says that you are so cute.

[Attempted back stab. ]

Action

[antipillar.livejournal.com]

[Oh! Eagle killed him again because he got distracted!

Siiiiiiiiiigh.]

Cute?

Action

[eagleofautozam.livejournal.com]

Everyone says so.

[Repeated as he waits for Lantis’s character to regenerate. ]

You aren’t about to deny that are you? I mentioned one time during a curse that I thought you were pretty…

[Ah, the character has returned! Attack again before it has time to fully recover!! ]

Isn’t it about time you stopped being modest about that?

Action

[antipillar.livejournal.com]

You were just a little boy...

[Staring. Yeah. Someone doesn't think he's cute.

WAIT. NO. HE WILL NOT LET HIMSELF BE KILLED AGAIN.]

1/2 Action

[eagleofautozam.livejournal.com]

Tch…

[Attack denied. So he decided to fight back did he? ]

2/2 Action

[eagleofautozam.livejournal.com]

Just because I was a little boy that doesn’t mean I couldn’t form a crush on you…

[Parry and stab. ]

And you are pretty.

Action

[antipillar.livejournal.com]

[Another death. It's so hard to think when they're having this conversation.]

I'm...not...

Action

[eagleofautozam.livejournal.com]

[Mental warfare. ]

So I am lying when I say that you are?

Action

[antipillar.livejournal.com]

[Ummmm...He doesn't know how to answer that.]

Action

[eagleofautozam.livejournal.com]

[He looks distracted again… Ah! Was that Lantis’s last life? ]

Really Lantis! Looking at me as if you have no idea what I am saying!
Dark hair, blue eyes, a kind face… all of those things make you attractive.
