"I... guess... is there wun that's lookin' a bit dark to yer? Cos the light might hurt me eyes a bit, I get a bit sensative and stuff wif the headache..."
2D stood and walked over to her, shuffling through the mess on his way. "We're gonna haf t'find another telly, anyway. This wun only plays Pong."
He looked at Purple sideways, smiling slightly. "Has anywun ever shown yer Zen Pong before?" he asked, hooking one hand into his belt confidently.

"I always thought Dawn of the Dead was a pretty dark one--or Amityville Horror...I know that one's not a zombie movie, but it's still good!" she nodded, looking again to the movies sitting on the floor.
Then she looked up at his triple wide screen television that only played pong thoughtfully. He had a point, after all. She wondered for a moment how much it had cost, and if it had really been worth it if it didn't play anything else--but then she realised she didn't care.
"Zen--pong? No--what's that?" she asked, pausing to raise an eyebrow in curiousity. "It sounds interesting!"

"I'll show yer!" 2D clambered onto the bed, excited at the prospect of showing off his party trick. He grabbed for the controls to the exclusive Widescreen Pong, one for each paddle, one in each hand, and started a new game.
His tongue stuck out of the side of his mouth as he concentrated hard in getting the small white blob that classifed as a ball in a predictable bounce, and then worked on moving the paddles to the centre of the screen. Slowly, it fell into place...
After a few minutes, the ball was bouncing back and forth, striking perfectly in the centre of one paddle before bouncing back to hit the exact centre of the opposite one. 2D put down the controls and held out his hands to frame the screen. "Zen Pong! Pong Ace! Yeah!"
((Zen Pong is real. I got an almost-Zen Pong in Kong once by accident, and it was farking awesome. Blew me away. O.O))

Purple watched raptly, her eyes wide. Absently, she itched at her brown contacts, she had been wearing them for quite a while, and she had probably left her purse in the kitchen, or somewhere. Wherever it was, it held her precious eye drops, contact solution, and contact case.
She looked from the screen to 2D for a moment, almost snickering at his expression. Then she watched "Zen Pong", grinning.
"Wow! That was impressive!" she told him, a little bit jealous that she hadn't done it herself, but the feeling was fleeting. Then she picked up Dawn of the Dead, looking at it for a moment, then back up at 2D.
[[ Awesomeness!! I must try that one of these days! Assuming I'm not lazy about it! ]]

2D grinned at her knowingly. Not knowingly because he knew what was going though her mind - he thought he did, but he was most likely very, very far from the truth.
"Yer like Romerwo, eh? Heh, yer like zombies, 'course yer like Romerwo! I like 'is 1985 Day of the Dead better, trwuef be told... That's not the rwemake, is it? Rwuss brwought it fer me birwfday wun year, I know he meant well, but I don't fink it's got nufink on the original..."
He got up off the bed and ambled over to her again, craning for a look at the cover.

Purple looked at 2D curiously, thinking for a moment before responding. "Yeah, Romero's well...a genious." she told him. "I'm such a zombie movie fanatic!" she beamed. "You know...I don't think I've ever seen Day of the Dead...it must be good if you like it, though!" she remarked.
She then looked at the cover again, glancing at him when came over to her. "It's the original. I agree, the remake doesn't do the original justice at all!" she nodded, and handed him the movie.
"I wonder where my purse is..." she trailed off absently.

2D looked at the cover, smiling to himself. "Ger, 's bin a while since I watched this. Goblin did a massive soundtrwack, pity they sold out, rweely. The rwemake, yeah... see, the fing I find scarwy about zombies is, well, the way they move so slow like. An in the rwemake, they woz dashin arwound like they ate a bowl of chilli an couldn't find the bathrwoom, rwight?"
He swayed gently as the thought about it. "Might as well 'ave bin watchin' 28 Days," he muttered, and then realised that Purple wasn't really paying attention to him. "Alrwight, darling?" he asked, looking at her curiously.

Purple looked up in surprise, realising that 2D had, even if absentmindedly, called her "darling." She blushed a tiny bit, and giggled. "Huh? I'm all right I suppose.." she frowned, registering his words from earlier finally.
"I do like the slow zombies better--it's not so realistic if they're zoomin' about, y'know?" she tilted her head, and her stomach rumbled softly. She placed a hand on it and glanced at it in embarrassment. "I--guess I'm hungry." she shrugged, forgetting when she had last eaten, and looked around, seeing nothing that seemed edible, or even close. "You hungry at all? I could maybe..make us something?" she suggested.

"Yeah, err..." 2D glanced around, considering it, "If yer can find sumfink, yer can 'ave it... 'm gonna go up to the games rwoom an put this on there. I don't fink I can keep down anyfink more..."
He smiled at her, and moved to the door. "Meet yer up there, rwight?"

"Uh...okay." Purple nodded, thinking for a moment. She walked toward the door and smiled back softly.
"I think I know where the games room is--" she trailed off, scratching her neck thoughtfully, then nodded again. "I'll meet ya up there." she agreed, and turned to leave.

2D watched her leave, and then made his way back up to the games room, struggling a little with the stairs. When he reached the room he walked straight past the other three, completely ignoring them, and started to set up the television for Dawn of the Dead.
"Yer don't mind if I turn off the lights, do yer?" he asked, totally forgetting the game he had been involved in a few minutes earlier.

Purple made her way straight to the kitchen, sure that some of the groceries she had recently stocked up on where still in there. She looked around and found something to make, a grilled cheese sandwich. It wasn't much, but it would be enough to sate her hunger. Once she finished cooking it, she took it and made her way to the games room, eating much of her sandwich on the way.
As she walked in, she finished the last couple of bites and beamed up at 2D as she wiped the crumbs from her face. "I feel better now!" she told him happily.

The eerie notes of L'alba Dei Morti Viventi floated around the room as 2D finally reached the menu screen. "Classic, that. Absolute classic," he murmured, and then turned to Purple.
"Yeah, grweat! Err, we should wait 'n see if any of this lot wanna watch it wif us, rwight?" he suggested as he walked over to the lights, indicating to the others, Russel still in minor hysterics.
((I'm serious here. I'm going to wait for you other guys before I post again. Don't want to get too ahead of ourselves, me and Moop.))

"Yeah, we should." Purple agreed, also looking at the others. She giggled softly at the scene, raising an eyebrow, wondering what had been going on, anyway.
"Ooh, I don't think I want to...know what they're doing..." she twirled a strand of hair around her finger, tilting her head.
[[Agreed.]]

[[Perhaps you guys might want to wait for the rest of the RPers to catch up a bit.]]
Noodle joined in on Russel's laughter, but raised an eyebrow when 2D walked in with some girl. Luckily, no one could even see her eyebrow since her hair covered her eyes.
Where are all these women coming from?
She embarrassedly hid the doll behind her back, leaning awkwardly to keep it hidden while the girl moved across the room. When they sat together watching the movie screen, Noodle looked over at Muds and Russel and grinned and chuckled softly, making a heart shape with her hands.
