So
Why would that factor into it

I have nothing to do on base when I'm not working
Helping you out would be a productive use of my time

[fessus]

Well I'm not gonna say no if you're serious, but I was planning to start after the weekend

Are you gonna be free in the day?

[gyve]

That's fine
I'll be up
What time do you want to start

[fessus]

[ Somehow... knowing he's not doing it alone, even something as trivial and unimportant as this, makes him want to take it more seriously. ]

I wanna leave here by 7

We can travel together so I can show you the spot. What's your room number?

[gyve]

That's for the best
I have trouble with the implant's maps on a good day

I'm in 9
You must be just down the hall

[fessus]

Yeah bc you're allergic to tech, I got that. Don't break any of my machines btw

I'm in 16 so we're pretty close

[gyve]

If I grew up with this technology I'd be just as good as you are now
I won't storming break them if I keep my distance from them

( i know what i'm about

... wait, he may have to lift some... )

What kind of games are on them

[fessus]

No you'd be maybe 80% as good as me bc I'm a pro even where I'm from

[ Put some respect on my gamer tag. ]

Do you know what a gun is?

[gyve]

Guns
Yes
I see them a lot
One of the other outsiders further explained them to me

( ... )

You're not very humble are you
Are you about to brag some more

[fessus]

[ Wow how dare you... now I have to pivot and absolutely not brag like I wanted to ]

No??

Obviously some of the games involve guns, a lot of them tbh. Fake ones you can point at screens, or just images of characters/ships/whatever firing them but you're controlling them

Racing's pretty popular too, maybe you control a person or car and have to beat someone else

I like the fighter games best where two characters have to face off

1/2

[gyve]

Guns racing and fighting
I'm not surprised

( art imitates life............... )

Do you have one you're best at

2/2

[gyve]

Don't say all of them

And I'm not talking about your favourite either
Whats the one you have lots of scores in

( i don't know the cool game lingo )

[fessus]

Okay well talking about my fave would get you one answer like you want, but I'm on the leaderboards (have lots of scores) in tons of them so don't limit me

I actually trained up my aim irl using games so obviously my shooter records are top tier

But if you think I slacked on fighting games you're crazy

[gyve]

I don't believe you could slack on being a nerd
I think that comes to you naturally and at all times

That sounds a little like the simulations
Training while not actually in training

[fessus]

Call it whatever you want but it takes serious skill, exactly like the simulations

[ Thank you. ]

You'll see when we get there, I'll let you try a couple of the machines on the house since you're helping with labor. Next time though you're not gonna be so lucky

[gyve]

What could it cost to play
1000 KRYPTOS

( and because he's allergic to fun: )

I'll watch you do it
If you're so amazing at it you should still do well under pressure

[fessus]

Yeah you'll watch me and I'll nail it

And then you're gonna play, this isn't a debate we're having, you're gonna do it

[gyve]

( wow he's getting fucking bullied here too )

Wow

You're intense

[fessus]

Well if you hadn't told me about Syl maybe I wouldn't feel like I have to make sure she gets what she'd want

[ Which he's decided conveniently aligns with what he wants. Which is for Kaladin to have some fun so he can pay him back. ]

[gyve]

That's underhanded
You can't speak for her

( well... neither can he, and he's been doing that anyway. syl would want him to have fun, and he storming knows it. )

Fine

Only because if you challenged anyone else they'd probably prepare for a real fight

[fessus]

Fine I'll keep bullying you with my own voice then

[ I'm fine with that. ]

Lol tell me about it though, everyone here jumps to a throwdown pretty quick

Have any of them tried to fight you yet?

[gyve]

Only one
Silco didn't try to fight me as much as he provoked me into doing so with hostile words and actions

That's what the rest of them seem to do too
Who knows if they actually have the strength to back it up
That old blowhard doesn't

[fessus]

[ Here he pauses. ]

"Provoked" as in it worked? Or as in he tried to provoke you into it and failed?

[gyve]

Oh it worked
I don't have any patience for men who know better and say they don't
So I struck the bastard
He put a woman's life at risk
Though I suppose he thought it was a great joke

Anyway
The punch didn't do as much damage as I'd have liked it to
He was afflicted with some mutation before I arrived and it had yet to run its course
It made his face very durable

Bet it's not like that anymore

[fessus]

In my head I was picturing smth different

"Provoked" like he said a lot of stuff to make you mad or to insult you and it hit a limit. But endangering people isn't like that at all

That's earning every hit you get. I would've punched him with you, idc what mutations he's got

[ And there's no way he's allowing for any doubt on the subject. ]
