“You two should just shut up,” he turned away, red faced in anger…or embarrassment. Probably embarrassment.
(!) laughed brightly, with Rose joining her. She glanced over at his, more or less, pissed off expression. “Look, sorry I said anything,” she giggled, extending a hand. “And maybe I shouldn’t have hacked your system…though that expression was well worth it.”
Dech’e shot her a murderous look that only made her laugh harder. She tried to stop her loud laugher, and plastered on a smile. “Anyways, why don’t we try something different? Instead of trying to kill each other, how about we attempt to be civilized.”
“I am being civilized.”
“More or less,” Rose interjected.
“Anyways,” Dech’e continued, sending Rose a look. “What are you getting at?”
She extended a hand. “I’m trying to stop you from killing me. Not to mention, you’re pretty handy to have around.”
In the background, Rose’s imagine flickered.
“Who the hell does this girl think she is?” [?] glowered at his computer, his VirtuTru still sitting on his head.
Outside the rain had become harder and the clouds had become darker. Even so, the sky lit up, claps of thunder shook the house. Too bad [?] was too involved to notice.
“I’m not your tool,” Dech’e growled, though his voice sounded a bit distant at the end.
“Of course you’re not,” she smirked.
There was another flash of lightning, and the sound of thunder was earsplitting. The street lamps outside, drenched in water blink brightly then went out, only to quickly come back to life once more.
“AHHH!” A thud against the computer desk.
[?]’s computer screen crashed into black, sending a fuzzy static sound through the room. It quickly flickered back on, reveling the screen it had been showing. This time though, one of the three figures wasn’t moving.
Dech’e opened his mouth to speak, but suddenly his eyes widened, his character’s image flickered, and he collapsed on the ground.
“Hey!” (!) called to the unconscious form.
“Dech’e!” Rose shrieked.
Too bad neither Dech’e nor his player heard.
