5th floor common room - Tuesday evening

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

Her package came in today. And she wasn't talking about the care package from her parents. She had handwavily ordered the Nintendo Wii with several accessories and lots of games. She wasn't exactly sure how to use everything yet, but after an hour or so she finally figured out how to set it up. 

She popped a bowl of hot buttery popcorn and stood before the TV. She didn't have one in her room and she didn't want to mess with Cally's stuff and mun has no idea if Cally has a tv or not. So she hoped no one minded that she was monopolizing it for her own personal pleasure.

It was just kind of making her mad though. She was this princess and she stood before the TV moving her remote thingy this way and that and she couldn't quite get herself where she wanted to go and do what she needed to do. "Crap! Go! You stupid girl!" With her other hand, she grabbed a handful of popcorn and shoved it in her mouth. "Go! Left! Left! No. Ugh!" She stomped her foot and just started to randomly click the things on the control thingy. "Waste of daddy's money is what you are!"

Tori had wandered around the dorms after the Alpha Beta Gremlin Meeting (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomhigh/1266073.html), not sure what to do with herself.

That's how she ended up on the fifth floor and had entered the common room, spotting Annette. "Hey Annette! What are you playing?" Long time no see echoed in her head, causing her to smirk.

[OOC: I couldn't resist tagging into this, omg! I love it. *<3's the Wii and wants one so badly!*]

"Ugh, Tori," she mumbled by way of greeting. "This princess game and I'm her only she seems to be kicking my butt which is her butt as well and this is just stupid!" Annette was almost ready to throw the control thingy at the TV.

(ooc: yay! I have xbox 360 but so want this too!)

[water-wonder.livejournal.com]

Tori frowned. "Oh man, I'm sorry." She hated to see Annette so discouraged. "Maybe the controller is set up the wrong way?" Inverted or something like that?

[OOC: Oh man, I have XBox but not the 360. *sad!* I totally love the Wii. One of my guy friend has it and I play it every chance I get.]

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

That perked her up and she looked over at Tori, hopeful. "You think? Here," she said, handing it to her. "You try. I need a popcorn and chocolate break anyway."

Annette plopped on the couch and ate a handful of popcorn, watching Tori.

(ooc: the 360 is great! addictive, but I'm still not very good..hehe)

"It could be the case." Tori shrugged, accepting the controller. "Okay, right." She stared at the controller and then at the television and back to the controller. "Uh, yeah." She waved it around, wondering if that would do anything.

[OOC: My boyfriend has one, but I have yet to play anything on it.]

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

"Maybe I didn't open and hook up everything right?" She offered, looking at the mess on the floor before her. "It took me an hour though. I have other games too. Maybe the game just sucks."

[water-wonder.livejournal.com]

Tori frowned. "It's quite possible." She looked at the console. "I imagine it did." It did look somewhat complicated. She laughed. "The game might be spiting you." Tori waved the controller around once more and decided to press a few buttons, to see if anything happened.

[OOC: Had anything specific you want to happen?]

"Is that a Wii?" asked Dick. For he is from 2005 and had only heard a shadow and a rumor of such a beautiful thing.

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

She looked over at her shoulder at Dick, "Yeah, but I'm about ready to throw the stupid piece of crap out the nearest window."

[surferboy-09er.livejournal.com]

"Hmm, maybe it's not the Wii." he says, smirking. "Maybe you just don't have the mad skills to master it."

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

Annette pouted at him. "I got skills. I got way skills, Dick." She kicked the empty packages and stuff around her feet. "Maybe I just didn't hook it up right. And maybe it's just the stupid game."

[surferboy-09er.livejournal.com]

"Oh don't pout. My heart can't take it." said Dick, smiling. He bent down to shake some of the boxes. "Hmmm, maybe there's a leftover wire in the boxes or something."

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

"You're heart is into teasing me." She replied with what may have been a tiny, crooked grin. "And I don't think so." She said when he started to go through the boxes.

Annette looked back at the TV. "I think she just knows a girl is playing her and she doesn't like it, so she's running helter-skelter to get away from me. Stupid girl with fake computer made boobs."

[surferboy-09er.livejournal.com]

Dick unconciously looked up at the TV at the mention of boobs. "Maybe she's just hard to move cause she's in a dress. They're restricting."

"Not that I've ever worn a dress." he added quickly. "Okay, I dressed up like a cheerleader for Halloween one year but I was totally wearing shorts under the skirt."

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

"That. Is. SO. AWESOME!!!"

Sokka stood in the doorway with his mouth open and watched the TV and Tori and the TV and the white boxy thing and... Ooooooh. Pretty. Want.



Of course, sometimes it's not a good idea to focus ALL your attention on something.

"OW! OW! AAAARGH!! OWW!!" This was the sound of a suddenly unsupported chinchilla clawing madly at Sokka in a desperate attempt to avoid falling.

[water-wonder.livejournal.com]

Tori jumped slightly and the outburst. She turned and blushed slightly. "Uh, hi."

She winced. "You okay?" She noted the chinchilla and its claws must hurt A LOT. But, hey, it was adorable so it was all good.

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

"Yah." Sokka said, through clenched teeth. "Fine."

He winced and worked at trying to get Momo Jr. to let go.

[water-wonder.livejournal.com]

Tori didn't believe him one bit. He looked to be in severe pain. "Do you need help?"

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

"No," Sokka gasped. "I'm fine. He does this sometimes."

[water-wonder.livejournal.com]

Tori raised an eyebrow. "If you're sure?"

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

"Sokka? What the heck? Is that a..." Yep, one of those things that was in the Valentice dance punch bowl.

"Want to try it?" She waved the remote control thingy to her game. "It doesn't seem to like me."

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

Sokka finally managed to extricate Momo Jr. and snuzzled the chinchilla. "Who's a bad boy? Yes oo are. Yes oo are!"

When Annette waved the wiimote at him, he lunged for it and grabbed it. "Do I ever!"

He figured out how to use it pretty quickly, but was much more interested in the mechanics of making the character move on-screen and jump and walk around than on actually playing the game.

Momo Jr. wandered over to the corner, looking for anything interesting to chew or crap on.

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

"How can you play that so easily? It's not fair! I tried forever!" She frowned a little then looked over at his pet chinchilla.

"Can I hold him?"

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

"Hmmm?" Sokka asked, totally engrossed with the Wii. "Oh, yeah, sure, go ahead. Careful, though. He bites. This is SO AWESOME!!!"

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

Oh. Annette didn't want to get bit. Hey, but then there really would be a reason for her to see that sexy doctor. But...no. She did not like the thought of anything biting her. It was just so cute though.

She reached out to pet it's little head. "Hey there fella. You sure are cute."

Annette glanced over at Sokka. "Like the Wii do you, Sokka? It hates me. It's stupid and the princess sucks."
