Boom! Head Shot!

Built on the Braddock Estate not far from the Manor, these were constructed for the university's benefit to help house the student population.

Boom! Head Shot!

Postby Toshiro Narumi » Sat Sep 01, 2018 12:02 am

Tosh was playing the zombie shooter again. This time, however, he was mowing through the undead horde and racking up the points.

Dude! Nice one!
Good shootin' kid!


He took a self-congratulatory sip of Mountain Dew and went back to shooting and looting.

Ainsley heard the commotion from the common room and ducked in out of curiosity to see what all the fuss was about.

He wasn't supernatural, but he was seemingly silent in his approach thanks to all the noise a video game can make for atmospheric purposes.

With a luckily-timed shot in the eerily glowing mouth, the necromantically enhanced zombie t-rex currently before him was defeated just before a certain game over.

In reality, Tosh whooped and jumped to his feet. "Holy shit! I beat Mortum Rex!"

Ainsley tilted his head curiously at Tosh's excitement, his face neutral. He let him celebrate for several moments, then shrugged and started clapping for him, since that seemed to be the appropriate response.

Tosh turned and grinned. "Awesome right? The damn thing's cheap-ass malboro breath gets me every damn time. Until now that is."

Ainsley smiled in a friendly fashion and gave Tosh two thumbs up. Holding it until just before the point that it got awkward, his arms fell to his sides and he looked at the screen to see what was going to happen next.

Was he done? Did he beat the whole game?

Tosh's slayer of the undead was currently just standing there next to a shining lootable dinosaur carcass. He followed Ainsley's gaze and pressed (A) as the game prompted.

"Let's see... 5 grand necroplasm... a bunch of bones... the Talisman of Demonic Flesh... and... Sweet! The Eternal Eye!"

"It's the rare drop," he explained, "Basically a renewable extra life."

Ainsley listened intently, though he had no damn clue what Toshiro was on about. Rich kids got to play video games at home. Poor kids, at best, got to play them in the electronics section at Tesco.

He enjoyed the colour palette of the game and inched closer to the imaginary world Tosh had summoned up onto the TV.

Then, like a child trying to see what was coming up next, he craned his neck around towards the corner of the screen as if somehow he could get a better look that way.

Ainsley's head whirled around and he looked at Tosh, then shook his head slowly.

His mouth abruptly burst open in face of a horrified scream. However, nothing but the sound of laboured breath came out. The expression was disturbing as Ainsley tried several times to cry out, but couldn't.

Ainsley didn't seem offended, giving Tosh a casual shrug, then turning back to Tosh's game.

He would look to him, then the screen if Tosh waited long enough to start playing again.

He laughed. "Yeah, but I was specifically told no paper on Harry Potter. That I should be more creative than that."

"I should have just taken another science course. Stupid well-rounded education," he lamented.

"Cool."

A guilty look crossed his face. "Sorry about the whole fighting dinosaurs thing. My alter ego... I'm a shifter... might love a good fight but I don't enjoy hurting animals. In that case, the poor thing had a brain implant and was being used as a mobile gun emplacement. It fared far better than its crew."

"I don't know no dinosaurs. Do what you want mate." He was clearly being facetious there. He made sure Tosh was done with his message before following up with-

"Philosophy of life somewhat pagan. Life is a cycle. Creatures come and go. Just do no unneeded harm and we're cool."
