Lazy Day
With all that had been happening Shane decided that he needed a day off from work. All things considered it might be a while before he really could get a day off again. So he called out of work with an excuse and slept in a bit.

He got up later and made himself a nice late big breakfast for himself. Pancakes, eggs, and bacon. And of course a nice cup of hot coffee.

	"Not so sure right now." she responded."Mortal Kombat sounds good, also does Halo 4. Probably play a little bit of both." she smiles lightly. Etoile finished her yogurt, moving over to the sink with her bowl. "Well, if you feel like joining me, I'll be out there." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Mortal Kombat it is...as for Halo, it's actually pretty good. I'm not great either, but it's super addicting." she replied. Etoile grabs a glass from the cupboard to get some orange juice."I'll go set it up while you finish your breakfast." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Awesome!" Etoile says before leaving the kitchen. She would go to the TV room to set up everything for the two of them. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Not too long afterwards Shane showed up in the living room having finished his breakfast. "Finished setting everything up," Shane asks, "Or could you use a hand. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Etoile had everything set up and ready to go. She was busy doing some updates on her account."Nope! Everything is good. Thanks for offer though." Etoile said, smiling at him. "Time to get your butt kicked?" She asked, handing him the controller. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Shane Ostrum," He says as he shakes her hand with a friendly grin, "Nice to meet you." "Don't say I didn't warn you about the power of random buttons." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	aceofhearts 2013-01-30 04:26 am UTC (link)
	"Likewise!" She says with a smile as they shake hands. After the introductions are over with. She release her hold on his hand, goes back to fully holding onto her controller. "Gotcha, I've been warned. I warn you...I'm reeeallly good." said with confidence. Who knows he just might kick her ass at the game. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Well I'm going to have to warn you that I don't really play video games much," Shane says not really caring too much. This was all in fun after all. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It's okay. Just do your best and most of all have fun!" Etoile said, smiling at him."Also..I'm not /that/ great of a player either. I just wanted to sound cool, kind of failed there." She said honestly, but laughs at herself. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"This will definitely be fun," Shane says, "And at least we will be close to the same skill level while playing this." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	aceofhearts 2013-02-01 03:15 am UTC (link)
	"Yes, it's going to be!" Etoile replies, smiling at him."Mm-hm!" She placed the game into the game console. Flops down on the couch next to him, watching the game starting up. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It's always impressive to see how much effort they put into the violence in these games," Shane says the start video for the game starts playing. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	aceofhearts 2013-02-01 12:39 pm UTC (link)
	Etoile looks at him briefly, goes back to focus on the game."That's true...the sad part is violence sales, along with sex." Etoile replies, shaking her head somewhat. "There's a big market for both." She comments, starting to set up the game. Now they are at the section of picking out characters. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	lightningbolt 2013-02-02 12:37 am UTC (link)
	"I guess that says something about human nature. Still very entertaining though." "A lot of characters," Shane as he starts looking through them all to pick one. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	aceofhearts 2013-02-03 07:41 pm UTC (link)
	"I guess it does...Yup, can't disagree with you there." Etoile agrees. "Yup! I think I'll play Sub Zero." Etoile says, picking her character and waiting for Shane to do the same. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'll pick the guy with a crazy hat," Shane says as he selects Kung Lao. He figured he looked like a fun guy to play. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Ooh, the character you picked is good. Kung Laaaooooooo." Etoile tries to mimic the deep voice who announces the characters you pick. She got a little more comfy. Soon the game started up, and with a mash of different random buttons she tries her best to defeat Shaun's character."Ha, take that!" Etoile says teasingly. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	lightningbolt 2013-02-05 04:21 am UTC (link)
	Shane laughs at the impression. Shane starts playing around with the different buttons. "No take this!" Kung Lao starts off doing good but Shane starts losing not to far into the match. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	aceofhearts 2013-02-05 05:02 pm UTC (link)
	So far Shane was kicking her butt. Suddenly the tables turned, now she was kicking Kung Lao's butt with Sub Zero. Mash up of different buttons, she discovered one of his freezing techniques."Take that, haha!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	lightningbolt 2013-02-05 05:43 pm UTC (link)
	"Damn it." Shane starts mashing some buttons trying to get free of the ice that left him open to a free blow. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
