"LINDSEY!" Judy cried, both in surprise and the sudden fear that she'd have to reveal more of her past if the rainblonde selected her preferred choice. The younger girl was sometimes a little TOO impulsive, and it had put a strain on their friendship more than once. This was appearing to be one of those times.
"Too slow too slow, let's just play a game!" Lindsey's eyes twinkled with mischievous energy as her fingers dancing across the keyboard with far less caution than Eugene's hen-pecking style had been. Typing was just natural to her, more so than it was to the other students that had grown up with computers. You kinda, like, had to be when you worked with programming code and may or may not have hacked into a college database to change a friend's grades from across country...Or into North Point's own servers to make sure that she personally wasn't forced to go back home and deal with her own drama. The less said about that jerk the better.
But Lindsey hadn't missed Judy's sudden regret at mentioning her past, and while Lindsey really, really REALLY felt like having a fun karaoke night she decided to err on the side of caution and instead type in 'OUTDOORS' into the machine. She pressed enter and the game made a fax machine sound accompanied by grinding metal...And Lindsey was suddenly afraid that she may have broken her geeky friend's toy...But then the machine returned to it's normal soft buzz.
"OUTDOORS SELECTED. PLEASE SELECT AVATARS AND CHOOSE GAME MODE" The machine said, two black buttons that had 'Traditional' and 'SImmersive' stenciled onto them. A tray popped out from the side of the machine filled with tiny game pieces made up of all kinds of different outdoor-related objects, but four were held above the rest on small racks: A cowboy hat, a rifle, an axe, and a rather rugged looking backpack.
"...Lindsey?" Judy looked at the clearly more than she seemed ditzy blonde, who gave her a wink.
"You're SO right, the air is getting pretty stale in here. Besides, maybe it'll, like, put us on teams! Lindsey got up and practically jumped onto Eugene's lap, whose face immediately turned a deep shade of red as she draped her skinny arms around his neck. "I call Eugene!"
"O-ooh, u-uh" The geek stammered as he tried to to will his penis from growing erect as he looked away. He tried to think of something, like a rock or...Well, anything other than his giggling crush that was draped across him.
"So do we wanna, like, do this Traditional thingy? Or try Immersive? I'm a real good DnD player, you know..." Lindsey cooed, enjoying how uncomfortable she was making Eugene feel. It was a guilty pleasure of hers, she LIKED teasing boys, especially ones that didn't know how to tease back.
Meanwhile Peter and Judy just shared a surprised look at each other. Judy had been trying to get the two together since the beginning of the semester last fall but Lindsey had seemed uninterested in being anything but friends with the fat little dork, and Peter had been trying to push Eugene to open up more and stop being such a, well, stereotype. This seemed to be jumping several steps in their 'plan' of getting the two together.
"Well if no one is gonna say anything..." Lindsey said, her voice an innocent singsong that was betrayed by the twinkle in her blue eyes. She stretched out like a cat and dug her hand into the small tray, plastic rattling as her hand dug around before she mad a fist and withdrew, sliding the try back into the game before pressing...  indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
