”Well there’s a bed for guests inside my office. You will have to sleep in there, but can we schedule so you don’t sleep while I’m working. Um what galaxy standard time would you sleep at?”

Brank

KrankysFirebrand48
"I guess I can go around 20:00 GST" (10pm Galactic Standard Time)
She stretches her arms a bit

KrankysFirebrand48

Brank
”Well we’ll be here for a while. We have to find something to entertain us while we’re at it. I have a few games on my neural link I can connect to a screen if you’re interested.”

Brank

KrankysFirebrand48
"uhm, sure, what'cha got?"
She looks around a bit until she finds the screen arra was talking about

KrankysFirebrand48

Brank
"Anything and everything! There's such a massive network of games. Superior shatter Kin: paramount is blast to play with friends I think."

Brank

KrankysFirebrand48

"I guess i can check some things out. Throw on whatever you want and i'm game."

KrankysFirebrand48

Brank
"Ok hold on." as she got her chair from her office the screen turned on and appeared to navigate the game interface by itself. When she returned with the chair she put a holopad displaying some orbs on the table. At further glance they appeared to be the controls. "I'll use a controller aswell for it to be fair. But if you use your computer I'll use mine haha."

Brank

KrankysFirebrand48
"Alrighty, I'll use a controller too."
She puts her hands on the control orbs

KrankysFirebrand48

Brank
"I haven't played in ages." she said, "I used to only play when Stantine was over and got bored of the simulations. I'll think I'll select this character." she selects a blonde lady. "I don't know if you've heard of her but Stantine calls me her name because he think we look similar haha."

Brank

KrankysFirebrand48
"Yeah, i've never heard her, but i can see the similarities, its mostly the cute blonde hair that makes you two look similar"

KrankysFirebrand48

Brank
”Oh um thank you. You better select a character though because the suspense is going to make your defeat ever more devastating.”

Brank

KrankysFirebrand48
"Alright"
She selects the 'random character' option

KrankysFirebrand48

Brank
The appear in a platform. Nat’s character is a disproportionately tall man with a battle ax. ”I’m a bit rusty.” she starts rapidly moving her left hand. Her characters starts dashing back and forth extremely fast making rapid movements in all 2d directions.

Brank

KrankysFirebrand48
"Well, you still might beat me, hehe. Like i said, i've never played this game."
She fiddles around with the controls, making random movements like walking into a wall, crouching for no reason, and swinging into empty space. Natalie looks slightly flustered and embarrassed due to her lack of comprehension for the game

KrankysFirebrand48

Brank
Arra's character approaches and starts spamming buttons. The character unleashes a variety of attacks, which includes slamming Nat's character into the ground with telekinesis, shooting lightning and materializing weapons. A lot of the attack were timed off and kind of hit nothing. It may occur to her that Arra had absolutely no idea what she was doing and was just pressing buttons.

Brank

KrankysFirebrand48
Natalie figures out the basic movement after a while and finds the block button, then decides to sit in the corner with the block up, randomly releasing it and throwing a random button press before blocking again

KrankysFirebrand48

Brank
It seems successful at first. Arra's attacks stop landing. Then her character ceases all movements. "There should be a move for this hold on." she then presses a button and her character starts charging up some kind of attack as a beam reaches from the sky and the character appears to build up power.

Brank

KrankysFirebrand48
"Uhhhhh-"
she continues blocking
"the fuck am i supposed to do..."

KrankysFirebrand48

Brank
"Hit me, oh too late." Her character seems to move something with her hand before a flaming rock flies from the sky and comes crashing down onto Nat's character.

Brank

KrankysFirebrand48
"Okay."
natalie jokingly reaches over and taps arras arm
"I hit you, what now?"
her character died so she has mostly forgot about the game, just looking at arra and smiling

KrankysFirebrand48

Brank
”Woah there,” she says jokingly and pretends to be offended, ”I’m under assault. I’m calling high command.” she taps her neck. ”Hey ‘Tine, I need the navy to be here right now, I’m under attack.” she says like she’s on a holocall with someone.

ONI

Brank arra flies through the wall lol
