GWandMl- Video Games... sorta ___2001-04-07 - 6:01 p.m.

Hn. Guess I've forgotten to update lately, ne? Well, I have excuses... hm, maybe I should make a list of those later, for I've quite ;) a collection!

1) Boyfriend stuff. Yeah... *sigh* As they say, "the honeymoon's over." More later.

2) Moderator stuff. *nods* Yes, I'm STILL the mod for my friend's GW fanfic ML (link at page bottom)... wonder what I ACTUALLY post? Well, here's an example:

Hm... well, it's been dead for a few days around here. *flinches* Gomen nasai! I haven't been doing a very good job since my promotion.

Heero: Hn.

Wufei: *whinily* That's grounds for DEmotion... Hn. Only a woman...

Duo: *grins* And WHAT a woman!

Wufei: *sigh* I'm surroundedby long-haired flakes!

Um, yeah... well, I was sitting in my Jewelry class and I said something funny to my friends (you remember, don't ch'ya Quinny girl!). I was"practicing" (*cough* Playing!) making casting molds for metal jewelry out of colored beeswax, and I was explaining my case for not filing my brass piece. Then, a thought of a "similar" situation came to mind and it began something like this:

*action or description* /thoughts/ ( personal commentary :)

<*~~~~~~~~~~~~~*> (Uh oh... this is shaping out to be more like a story... but it's still a raving rant! Well... for me :) Who knows, if I get any responses to this... then maybe oneday it could become a fic or something... nah! Now you're dreamin' girl! Uh, well, ANYways... onto the "thought" ! ^_^)

--------------------------

It was raining... or maybe there were just no missions, whatever. Heero entered his shared room with Duo (heh, I LOVE that situation. It can go almost ANYwhere!;)and... proceeds to slapstickingly trip over the mysterious objects littering the floor.

Heero: Baka! What IS all this?

Duo: *hearing only his beloved electronic noises and backround music, doesn't here Heero enter*

Heero: *leans down and picks up one of the "boobytraps"* What the- DUO! What is going here?!

Duo: *heard THAT* Oh... hey, Heero... *continues delighting in his present task*

Heero: DUO!!

Duo: *flinches, hits "pause", and turns to the "interruption"* What was THAT for!? Trying to ruin my high score, or have you taken to telling ozzies exACTly where we are!?

Heero: *sighs heavily to calm himself before he opened his (delicious) mouth again* Of course not. I just asked you what in the HELL is going on here and you didn't answer. For all I knew, OZ was testing some new brainwashing techinique on you... and succeeding.

Duo: Hn. *hands on hips* Well, exCUSE me... what do you expect, you caught me at a bad time. Next time KNOCK.

Heero: I DID. But the damn volume was up so loud, it's pure luck that OZ didn't send an assassin for you- what were you doing, anyway?

Duo: *none to calm, waves at the screen, controller, and video game system* What does it LOOK like?

Heero: There's no need for SARcasm. You should be watching for new missions-

Duo: *ugh* I HAVE been... *gesturing to the open laptop on his desk* ...it's been simply DEAD.

Heero: And that's exactly what YOU'll be, if you don't be more careful. For crying out loud... VIDEO games? Couldn't you at least read a book?

Duo: *sigh* For your information, Heero, I was practicing-

Heero: "Practicing?" What "practice" could possibly include- such a CHILDish obsession?

Duo: You forget, we are supposed to BE kids still... that's what makes us the best soldiers, remember? People won't expect it.

Heero: Perhaps, but, DUO-

Duo: *folding arms in defiance* I'll ignore that last crack if you would just shut your mouth for a minute, so I can finish what I was saying.

Duo: I WAS practicing a number of things, if you MUST know. *"counting" with his hand gestures* Strategy, reaction time, covert-ops, weapon effectiveness, demolitions... almost any kind of combat skill even YOU can think of.

Heero: *momentarily stunned* Really?

Duo: *softened by Heero's genuine wonder, the lines of his face softened* Really.

Heero: If there's is a game for almost any combat skill, then what about... vehicular evasion?

Duo: *eyes widening in surprise, he smiled... and chuckled* Even games with ambulances and taxis as escape vehicles... racing games are MOST plentiful in the gaming universe.

Heero: *features softened* What are you playing now?

Duo: /strange... if the light of the video game hasn't been known to create such environmental illusions... then I'd almost swear that his eyes were twinkling... yup. DEFinitely an illusion.../ Nothing I can't save to a memory card.

Heero: Hey, Duo-

Duo: It's okay. You don't have to apologize. I HAVE been known to... overexaggerate.

Heero: On rare occassions... me too. *corner of (tempting) mouth ALmost lifting* It's okay, but that's not what I was going to say.

Duo: Oh... *slightly dissappointed, until he remembered Heero said "...me too", then smiling in encouragement* Well, what WERE you going to say, then?

Heero: Hm... *walks around Duo... to the still paused gamescreen and looks back... almost smiling* Got an extra controller for this thing?

Duo: *comePLETEly stunned, has to shake the fog from his head* Um... the other one's under my bed, but there's no need. I'll let you play on your own while I check for new missions.

Heero: *watching bouncing braid on it's journey to the desk* You do that... while I get the controller. I'll wait for you.

Duo: *sits down and looks over shoulder* Y-you sure?

Heero: *wondering about the slight aggitation, nods* Where's the best... racing game you've got?

Duo: On top of the stereo... *thought occurs to him, turns, and smiles* ...but I've got to warn you... *violet eyes darken as his lip querks* ...you're going to lose.

Heero: *smirking* You'll have to catch me first!

*dramatic music* Could this be... owari?!

*pause* Uh.... probably.

-----------------

BTW, peeps on the ML said I COULD make it into a fic... or something. Hm... maybe some of the old M.I.A.[missing in action] Writer'sJuiceTM(not mine, Hikaru's) is only fermenting... as opposed to... evaporated.

YAY!!! Some GOOD news for a change!!!!
