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 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)

	"You're welcome," Shane says as he take the control and grabs a seat. "We'll see. My button mashing fu is very strong." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Oh..I'm Etoile by the way. Etoile LeBeau." She nearly forgot her manners. She extends a hand out to him, giving off a warm smile. "Is that so? A challenge. Accepted!" She says, grinning. (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)

	"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)

	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)

	aceofhearts 2013-02-05 02:01 am UTC (link)
	"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)

	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)

	aceofhearts 2013-02-05 06:43 pm UTC (link)
	Now is her chance to hot him with a good final blow. She mashes up a bunch of buttons, trying to see what kind of hit to give to Shane's player. She managed to hit him, nothing critical."Oh no!" Etoile gasps out. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	lightningbolt 2013-02-05 06:53 pm UTC (link)
	After his character get knocked out of the ice with very little health left, Shane manages to have his character throw his hat at Sub Zero. Which Shane thought looked pretty cool. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	aceofhearts 2013-02-05 07:36 pm UTC (link)
	"Eeeeek!!" Etoile blurts out. He was actually good at this. That move knocked down a lot of her characters HP. "That was a cool move!" She says to Shane. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	lightningbolt 2013-02-05 07:44 pm UTC (link)
	"I honestly could not tell you how I did," Shane says happily pretty sure he couldn't repeat it if he wanted to. He goes back to button mashing. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	aceofhearts 2013-02-06 12:28 pm UTC (link)
	Etoile giggled at him. She kept on trying her best to beat him, it looked like he was getting the upper hand in this fight."Oh noes! Time is running out." Etoile points out, she tries to quickly finish off his character. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	lightningbolt 2013-02-07 02:27 am UTC (link)
	Shane nods and starts button mashing in a frenzy. Works for a bit till a bad random button left his character wide open for a hit. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
