[Accidental Video]

[gotthescent]

[The camera comes on crookedly as it hits the ground, showing a frantically struggling and squeaking mouse being held up to Apollo's face in both fists. He grins.]

Gotcha.

[The mouse's squeaking and struggling abruptly ends when Apollo bites its head off. There's the faint sound of crunching bones as he stuffs the rest of it into his mouth with both hands, finally slurping up the tail like a noodle before licking his lips contentedly. He starts to bound off on all fours, then stops, pats a pocket, and returns for his D-Comm. The feed ends.]

Sounds like it was one big bad. Glad everything's back to normal now though, right?

[Apollo hesitates in his shoveling of food into his mouth for a moment.]

Except for the island and most of the people who lived there. They didn't come back when the world restarted.

O-Oh...dang...

[Jake leans against the counter a little more now. He had heard the entire thing hadn't had the most happy of endings but no one had told him that yet.]

[Action]

[gotthescent]

Yeah.

[Apollo resumes eating, but at a slightly slower pace than before.]

Re: [Action]

[giveadragonsomelove]

Well...the world was still saved. That's a good thing. And at least it's gone now forever, right?

[Action]

[gotthescent]

It better be gone forever. I don't want it showing up again 12000 years from now or something.

Re: [Action]

[giveadragonsomelove]

12000 years from now sounds like a real long time...and kind of specific. Got a story for that one?

[Action]

[gotthescent]

S'how long it takes for someone to reincarnate.

Re: [Action]

[giveadragonsomelove]

Say what? How do you know it takes that long?

[Action]

[gotthescent]

Cuz that's how long it took Apollonius and Celiane to reincarnate as me and Silvia.

Re: [Action]

[giveadragonsomelove]

Whoa wait! You're reincarnated and you remember your last life?

[Action]

[gotthescent]

Bits and pieces. I only started remembering after I met Silvia. She's remembered being Celiane since she was a kid.

Re: [Action]

[giveadragonsomelove]

Sounds weird and confusing.

[Action]

[gotthescent]

Yeah, I don't get how it all works.

[Back to eating. He's made a pretty big dent in the spread already. Jake might want to get some now before it's all gone.]

Re: [Action]

[giveadragonsomelove]

[Jake walks over and stars grabbing food from the other side of the spread so he can actually get things to eat.]

Yeah, let's just forget about it for now. So after we eat you wanna go play some videogames?

[Action]

[gotthescent]

Never played 'em before.

[Sideways glance at Jake.]

Yours ain't like the one Jun plays where you dress up a girl in frilly shit and try and get her to say she likes you, right?

[Because Jake is obviously the kind of guy who plays dating sims, right?]

Re: [Action]

[giveadragonsomelove]

Uhhhh...no. Mine are running around shooting things or skateboarding games. What kind of games does this Jun play?

[Action]

[gotthescent]

The only one I saw was the one with getting the girl to like you.

Re: [Action]

[giveadragonsomelove]

Oh! One of those Japanese dating games or somethin'. Yeah, not really all that into those.

[Action]

[gotthescent]

[He shrugs. At this point he's starting to slow down slightly on the eating. Over half the spread's gone, so it's about time. He hasn't stopped yet though.]

Are most video games about stuff you can do in real life? Sounds kinda boring.

Re: [Action]

[giveadragonsomelove]

Not really. Some are awesome first person shooters and fantasy games. They're pretty cool.

[Action]

[gotthescent]

I guess I'll see what they're like then.
