"Hey, I said there were three of them. They'd kill each other if there was only one guitar," he smirked. Standing, he held a hand out to help her to her feet. "Yeah, there's two guitars. And they have the Playstation equivalent of XBox Live, whatever the hell Sony calls it." Pushing his hair off his forehead, he shrugged at her next question. "Dunno. I'm not a DDR kinda guy. Could be here somewhere. As for swing music? Er, no. Can't say I'm into that very much. More of a rocker, I suppose."

She let him pull her up. She noticed how warm his hand was, and she felt a hyper tingle scream throughout her brain. Of course, noone would know this because it didn't show on the outside. As she stood up closer to him, he did smell nice. Guys who smelled nice were full of awesome.
She brushed herself down. "Yeah. Let's go do that. You think they'll get all huffed out that we're taking over their game? That could be fun." That could be a riot as far as she was concerned. What's more.. she'd get to explore more of the house. She smiled wide at him. She was really liking this guy. "Yeah... let's do it! I never done it before though, so please don't laugh at how utterly noobish my guitar skillz will be!"

His grin was impish. "Yeah. They'll be pissed. But they'll deal." His tail swishing, he led the way out of the room and across the hall. "Yo, girlies, give someone else a turn with the PS3, will you?" After some whining and dirty looks, once the girls realized George meant business, they left grumbling. It didn't phase the older male and he just shrugged, rolling his eyes at Grace before he plopped down on the couch there, reaching for the first player guitar. "Never played before, eh? Well, I'm kind of a GH whiz, but I'll go easy on ya." Giving her an exaggerated wink, he set up the game, picking one of the easier songs from the beginning.

Gracie watched them leave. She was totally him giving them the boot. That was fun. Then she looked over at the guitars. She went over and after a few moments figured out which one was player two. When she heard an opening riff to Welcome to the Jungle, she got rather excited and slightly spazzy.
"Oh... MY... GOSH!!!" There were lots of >< and >X} faces to be had. "This is like my favorite song ever. Oh man.. Is there an easy version of that? Oh man..." Her tail was swaying back and forth with a rhythmic tick.

His own foot tapped to the beat and he grinned, nodding at her. "It's totally a kickass song." He sang to the opening, the promptly apologized for probably brutalizing her favorite song, all the while plucking away at the guitar and pressing the buttons. He hadn't been kidding, he was good. He wasn't paying the screen that much attention, but he rarely missed a note. Granted, it was on easy and he was used to playing on at least medium, but what the hell. It was all fun. Returning to just humming, he glanced at her side of the screen, checking out how she was doing.

Unfortunately, at first she wasn't doing so great. She kept failing and getting boo'd by the crowd. Finally, after about the third time around, she was getting it better. Still, even for how much she messed up initially, she was having a good time enjoying the music. She kept weaving her head side to side trying not to lose sight of the cues on screen. She had to laugh at herself a little bit. There was... this guy playing right along flawlessly without hardly looking.
She really wanted to be flawless too. Maybe she'd have to come by a lot and keep playing till she could hold her own against him. She didn't like not being able to do something or anything just as well as any guy could. She didn't want anyone being able to say she didn't do as well just because she's a girl. Heck no... "Um.. Did you say your name? I can't remember." Her tail wrapped around to try and press a button too.

There was a small smile on his face, but he said nothing. George wasn't sexist, he'd never chalk her not doing as well as himself up to her being female. After all, he'd just kicked out three girls who could whip his a**. She was just a beginner, that was all. He had been too, at one point. "Eh?" He glanced at her, amused at her technique. "You don't have to press down the button for every note. When you have more than one note of a colour, just hold it down." Turning back to his screen, he pulled off a complicated combo. "I didn't. But you never asked." His tail flicked and he smiled. "It's George."

"Oh, right" She said in reply to the whole how to hold buttons and what not. She started doing much better after that. She smiled as she was getting more crowd reaction. "Oh thank goodness! I was gonna have to throw something at the audience if they kept boo'ing me like that!"
She giggled and laughed. Everytime she failed, she would bust up with so much laughing. For some reason, the way it looked and sounded just triggered a hysterical reaction. She smiled when he said his name. She whispered it and rolled around in her mouth. "So.. um.. George... is it ok for me to come and play with you a lot? I don't really know anyone around this place yet. It feels really big like that."

"That's it, now you're doing better," he nodded, smiling at her improvement. He fidgeted for a moment, still hitting notes, though he missed a few. Not that he cared. It was just a game. Shrugging at her booing comment, his tail flicked. "Trust me, compared to real audiences, this is tame." Picking another song, he glanced at her when she asked. "Yeah, sure. I don't mind. I'm not always around here, but if I am, I'll play with you. There aren't many people here who would turn you away."

She kept plucking away and doing her best. She was improving and doing much better this time around. She figured she just needed a little practice. She glanced sideways at him. "Where do you go when you're not always around? Do you have a job or something you have to go work at? I might try to find myself odd jobs around here.... so I can get some money and buy stuff I want." She was starting to miss notes sometimes. It wasn't for not being able to play though. She kept looking at his hair, and his tail, and his piercings.

He picked Paint It Black, his tail swishing with the song. He took a while to answer this question, playing the song. When it was nearly at the end, he nodded. "Something like that. Plus," he glanced at her, "I don't spend all of my time playing video games. Just a good chunk of it." He turned back to the screen. "You can pick this time." Sitting back, the guitar resting in his lap, he watched as she flipped through the songs. "If I'm not here, I'm out, eating, or in my room."

Gracie picked Barracuda. As she looked over the list, she found she wasn't too overly familiar with a lot of the songs. Some bands she had heard of, but she didn't know it. Looking at him, she asked "Do you have your own room? I have my own room. I am kind of glad. I mean... What if you got put in a room with someone you didn't like? And, they took your stuff all the time.... I had siblings before... They were always in my stuff... I hated it." Yeah. She sure was pot kettle black. She loved going through other people's stuff too.. even if she never took anything.
She knew they had just started really, but she was starting to feel a little stir crazy and board of the games. Her tail started to tap the floor once every few moments. "Um... Can we get something to eat? I'm hungry.... and.... I am ready to do something else."

He seemed to sense that about her. "Yeah. But you could always poke through their things in revenge." He got lazily to his feet, stretching. He was quite fidgety himself, but that was just who he was. As long as some part of him was moving, he was good. "Food sounds good. If someone else is making it. I can't cook." Grinning, he held the door open for her. "The GH freaks are probably about ready to strangle us anyway." Giving them an innocent smile as he passed by, he headed for the kitchen, shrugging. "Yeah, I've got my own room. It's smaller than the double rooms, but eh."

Gracie just followed after him like a lap dog of sorts. Then, in the hall, she walked up alongside him, her tail subconsciously swaying further towards him, hoping to secretly brush up against him. She was always curious how people would react to her.
"Yeah. A big room is nice, but even if a room is small. It is still better than having to share it. I think so anyways. I mean.. if it's yours.. you can decorate it.. or trash it however you want. It's your own personal space that noone can tell you what to do with it." Then, as they got into the kitchen. She made herself at home looking through cabinets and the fridge. "Well, I can make a grilled cheese.. and tomato soup... would you eat that? There's stuff here for it."

George laughed and plunked himself down at the table, watching her. "Bit of an odd combo, eh?" He shrugged, waving his hand at her. "Yeah, I'm game. Fire up the oven!" He fiddled with the chain around his neck, his tail swaying as he watched her.
