[005: Accidental Video]

[techno-logical.livejournal.com]

[With the weather starting to grow colder, April had started to stay inside more often, since bad leg plus cold weather resulted in her leg aching more than usual. Though this meant finding other ways besides reading and watching tv keep her occupied; so, she bought one of those game console thingys and the guy at the game shop recommended a game called Fatal Frame 2 to her, except said game is a horror game involving ghosts, which April tends to react... negatively to.

So, when the video feed turns on, it shows a hotel TV, which is displaying what looks like a slashed up guy getting his picture taken, and a part of April's back while she sits on the bed (looks like the phone is on the table by the bed). And while not much of April is seen, she's definitely heard.]

-Ack! No, no, no, this isn't fair! Ugh, I should've known that this would be a trap! G-ghosts don't fight fair!... Aah! No, no, no, no, no, no- [Whoops, looks like a game over.]

... D-dammit, I died... Ghosts s-seriously don't fight fair...

[And then Ledah returned from the library to their room. He sets his books down, then tilts his head a little.]

April?

[She stops huffing to herself for a moment to give Ledah a small wave and a sheepish smile when he walks in.]

Ah, welcome back! ... I, uh, got this games console thing and a game, but I, um, didn't do well in the game...

[gaveupfeeling.livejournal.com]

I see.

[No he doesn't.]

You seem on edge.

[Action]

[techno-logical.livejournal.com]

That's because, um... [And now she looks embarassed.]... The game k-kinda scared me.

[Action]

[gaveupfeeling.livejournal.com]

Then why did you purchase it?

[Action]

[techno-logical.livejournal.com]

The g-guy at the store said it was good, and I-I didn't know it would scare me this much... I-I'm only really playing it now cause I want to find out the story...

What ARE you doing?

[techno-logical.livejournal.com]

[And April jumps at the sound of the voice, before blinking at the phone.]

A-ah, it turned itself on... I'm, um, just playing a video game...

Re: [video]

[greyerrant.livejournal.com]

Tell me more.

[Miki is audible shaken from the video.] W...Why would they make video games with g...ghosts?

[video]

[techno-logical.livejournal.com]

[A jump and a blink at the phone.]

N-no clue... Apparently someone thought it was a good idea...

Re: [video]

[nomammano.livejournal.com]

W--well it's not! Ghosts are horrible enough in movies.

[croibhristeoir]

...What are you doing?

[techno-logical.livejournal.com]

[asdfghjklfuuu- oh the phone turned itself on. Cue on sheepish look at the camera.]

... I'm, uh, playing a video game.

[video]

[croibhristeoir]

...I assume this is another modern thing I don't know anything about.

[video]

[techno-logical.livejournal.com]

Yep, I'm guessing it is. A video game is a, um... [Hold on, just gonna think about this.]

... Well, it's an electronic game that's played by interacting with the images on a screen using a controller, like this one here. [And she lifts up her PS2 controller.]

[video]

[croibhristeoir]

...hm. I think I understand. So what's your problem with it?

[Here, have someone who at least knows what a video game is.] Well, at least that doesn't seem as infuriating as Hakox...


[[ooc: Hakox (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xn4un40TbsA), aka the stupid hard puzzle game from Xenosaga 3.

[April is gonna jump slightly at hearing the voice (she did not remember turning the phone on) before turning and giving him a confused look.]

... Um, what's Hakox?

[Video]

[namedforcat.livejournal.com]

It's a puzzle game that had recently caught on where I'm from. What you have to do is guide automatic walking characters through an obstacle course. The course difficulty goes up as you progress through the levels.

[Oh talk about a nostalgic game for Saori. She could already recognize what game she's playing from the soundtrack alone. Don't mind her if she's got the fangirl twinkle in her eye, April.]

I-is that Zero: Akai Chou? Well, it might be known as Fatal Frame 2 because we're in America.

[Video]

[techno-logical.livejournal.com]

[April turns and tilts her head a bit while giving the camera a curious look, before nodding.]

Ah, y-yeah, it's Fatal Frame 2... Have you played this before?

[Video]

[needsteaplz.livejournal.com]

I have actually. It's one of my favorite games. I don't think gameplay changed when they localized it. Would you like some help?

[Video]

[techno-logical.livejournal.com]

Ah, um, y-yeah, if that's okay... [She looks a bit embarrassed now.]

[Video]

[needsteaplz.livejournal.com]

[She gives April a reassuring smile.] Yeah, I have time, so don't worry about it. So where can I meet you?
