A fox scared you out of a video game?

Re: text:

An animatronic fox possessed by a dead kid who wants to stuff me into animatronic suits and he had a hook for a hand.

...I sound pathetic as hell right now.

The fox had a hook for a hand?

Re: text:

[he_who_dwells]

Yes. Yes, it did. A hook for a hand.

Are you joking? I can't tell if you're joking. Text.

We don't have to go into that game, anyway. Sounds creepy and I'm good with all things not creepy.

Re: text:

[he_who_dwells]

I am honest to God not joking. It's one thing to play the game on a computer, it's an entirely different thing to be in it. Never again.

Sonic was way more fun. We can do Sonic. Or Pacman. That was fun, too. The creator of FNAF clearly has issues.

We should also avoid Dark Souls II. That one's on the creepy list.

Hey, what about Kingdom Hearts? That seems relatively safe.

How big a dork would you think I was if I said I once tried to make a keyblade out of construction paper, wire hangers and paper tubes?

[ This'd be a yes. ]

Re: text:

[plain_jane]

It depends. What scale are we using: Societal Norms or the Feynman Curve?

Because if it's the Feynman Curve, it's not that dorky.

Re: text:

[he_who_dwells]

I like the non-dorky option.

text:

[plain_jane]

Me, too. I don't do so hot on the other scale, either.

But the other scale's way more boring and doesn't include blue roses or video games.

Re: text:

[he_who_dwells]

Those poor saps on the other scale. They know nothing about living.

Re: text:

[plain_jane]

They'll never know the joy of keying in your initials as top scorer on an arcade game.

Re: text:

[he_who_dwells]

Figuring out the exact pattern of a boss and beating them near flawlessly.

Re: text:

[plain_jane]

Beating them near-flawlessly the first time through because you're that experienced of a gamer.

Re: text:

[he_who_dwells]

Finding that one jump in MarioKart that puts you so far ahead of everyone else, they have no chance of catching up at all.

Re: text:

[plain_jane]

You sweet talker, you.

Re: text:

I like a girl that can speak my language. It's very attractive.

Re: text:

[plain_jane]

I'm learning a couple of computer languages, too. How does that appeal?

Re: text:

[he_who_dwells]

I may swoon. And I know it's completely unattractive for a guy to do so, but that's amazing. I wrote an app that hacked into DUP radio signals and made them easier to track.

Re: text:

[plain_jane]

I don't know. Swooning is kind of cute.

Did the app help? They didn't discover it?

Re: text:

[he_who_dwells]

Pretend I swooned and it was very dramatic or something.

It did. I was able to send my Angels to rescue other Conduits that had been captured, just from tracking and listening. They had no clue what the hell was going on for a while. It was kinda hilarious, now that I think about it.

text:

[plain_jane]

I can't imagine what that must have been like. Even with the app helping you stay a step ahead...I'd have been terrified.

What you did was brave.

Re: text:

[he_who_dwells]

I was.

I don't like bullies. That's all the DUP and Augustine were. Just because you're stronger than someone else, or you think you are, doesn't mean you get to be an ass.

text:

[plain_jane]

Most people wouldn't try to stop them.

How did you find out you could do your thing? That you were a Conduit?
