So, what, is this where all the weird people on TV like to gather when the giant monsters aren't around? I probably wasn't supposed to stumble upon this, but like

>implying normal people wouldn't find this if it was so easy for me to find on accident
>implying whatever security measures you guys took weren't shit
>implying people with better resources than me couldn't get here even easier and seriously fuck you guys over

Yours was probably better than mine.

[HERS SUCKED.]

[drawitagain]

I didn't even get to play the game. :(

I was just watching my friends play.

It looked really fun, too...

Did you not get to play either?

[tatatarata]

I was playing, people I know were there, but that's all you need to know.

[drawitagain]

Did you lose? :(

[tatatarata]

That's none of your business.

[drawitagain]

Winning isn't everything!!!

Besides, maybe you'll get another memory where you win!

[tatatarata]

I never said I lost!

[drawitagain]

Okay I believe you!

I'm just saying that if you did lose, there's nothing to be ashamed of!

[tatatarata]

Well if I didn't then that's not relevant, is it?

[drawitagain]

So you did win?

[tatatarata]

...It's really not that important to you, is it?

[drawitagain]

If you don't want to discuss it any further I won't force you!

Win or lose, you must have gotten the memory from actually playing a game in real life, right? I think that's how it works...

That's how it worked for me, anyway. I wasn't playing though, just watching.

Was there a time recently that you lost at a video game?

[Quickly, less than a few seconds later.]

Er! I mean, was there a time recently that you played a video game where whatever result you got in your memory?

[tatatarata]

...You were watching someone playing a video game?

It was, uh...a few months ago.

[drawitagain]

A few months ago? Mine took a while before it hit me and I could access the network too...

Anyway! Yeah! I was cheering my friend on but she got beaten pretty handily...

You should have seen her face afterwards...It was terrifying, like something out of a monster movie. I was waiting for her to start breathing smoke and fire!

[He means that in the absolute best way possible, he swears.]

1/? NOT HERE

[tatatarata]

[Wait.

Wait.

WHAT?!]

[tatatarata]

[Holy shit.

Holy shit this entire time she's been talking to Haruka.]

[tatatarata]

[This is awful. Maybe the worst thing that's ever happened to her.

(Okay probably not. But it's still terrible.)

She's made such a fool of herself. She can't possibly let Haruka know it's her he's been talking to.]

[tatatarata]

[She'd had some horrible, sinking feeling that it might be him already but she told herself it couldn't be, it definitely wasn't.

But it was.

And...is that what he really thinks of her?

It's not really surprising when she's so unpleasant all the time, but...]

done

[tatatarata]

[If this was real life, her first reaction would be to get angry, but..]

Is that really how you see her?

[TOO WORKED UP TO EVEN CONSIDER THAT SHE'S BLOWING THE ANONYMITY SHE JUST DECIDED IT WAS VITAL TO KEEP UP RIGHT NOW.]

[drawitagain]

[That's...a weird question to ask. Haruka doesn't think much of it though, what with having the common sense of a small sack of rocks.]

She's pretty scary when she's mad, I have to admit!

It's...also kind of funny, sometimes. As long as it's not about anything too serious!

She's a really close friend of mine, though...I definitely wanted her to win, honest! You know, I can introduce you if you'd like! You two seem like you'd get along. The way you talk reminds me a lot of her, actually!

1/2

[tatatarata]

It's not funny!

2/2

[tatatarata]

...I really don't think introducing us will be necessary, though.

[drawitagain]

Well, if you say so, but I think it'd be a good idea!

To be honest, I kind of wish she was on the network too. I feel bad having to keep this from her...

[tatatarata]

How long have you been here, anyway?

[drawitagain]

About a month!

I didn't get involved in any of the trouble a few weeks ago, thank goodness...
