Video games are pretty cool, Kimura nodded. Though I don't typically set things on fire or anything when I'm bothered or pissed off. A lot of what I do is from boredom and the want to just destroy things. The boy exhaled a sigh and looked about the room. What console do you have?

"Yes, well I have other methods of combatting boredom. Not that I usually have time to be bored." Markus grinned. "I have a PS2 in my trunk that's yet to be set up. Along with a few handhelds."

Nice, Kimura smiled. I had one, but it broke. I probably played it too much. After a while, it just didn't turn on no matter what I did. The boy shook his head at the thought. So what kinda games do you play?

Raziel smiled and gave Bianca a wink. "Will do. Perhaps, then, I might be able to know the name that matches such a fine creature as you." His voice practically dripped with honey as he spoke to her, not even looking back at Contessa when she had addressed him.
"Raziel! Now!" She barked, rolling her eyes at his inability to stop flirting.
"Oh fine! Geeze, down girl." He smirked, knowing that would annoy the heck out of her, but he obeyed his command and followed her closely, but not before getting his bag roughly shoved into his chest. He cackled internally at Contessa's jealousy.
Contessa ignored Raziel's comment, having gotten used to it, and made her way to their new place, immediately shutting the door after them to give Raziel a lecture long overdue.

Hot Amounts You show me how to see - ((s**t. Writers block.
I'll try again later, I'm sorry this is taking so long.)) - That nothing is whole and nothing is broken.
((Take all the time you need to, don't worry about it. :hearts: ))

Markus shrugged again. "Pretty much anything, mostly RPGs and DDR." He grinned. "People think I'm nuts since I always choose the fastest songs."

Contessa rummaged through her things, putting her purse together as she spoke to her brother over her shoulder. "Now don't get any funny ideas while I'm gone, alright? No parties, no experiments, and no girls. Got it?"
Raziel yawned with boredom as he rummaged through their kitchen, looking for something to snack on. "Yeah yeah, whatever you say." He grabbed a bag of cookies from one of the cabinets and set to munching through them, "Can't I invite one girl over, just to hang out with?"
"No! No girls, period." She said as she grabbed her wallet, stashing it and her key in her wallet, "Alright, you know the rules. Just be good until I get back, and please PLEASE don't destroy anything." Contessa gave him a warning glare before she shut the door behind her, heading off to have some fun downtown.
"Sure thing, killjoy." He stuck his tongue out at her back, grumbling about her strictness. Sometimes, he hated her attitude. Actually, he hated it all the time. Raziel sighed a bit as he looked around, their stuff still not completely set up, and bored out of his mind. What could he do? Then again.....the landlady did say he should come down and see her. He grinned, thinking that was exactly what he would do. But first...he had to get cleaned up. Quickly, he bounced off to shower and do his routine.

I've heard of DDR, the boy began. But I'm not entirely sure what it is. What does it stand for? Kimura looked to Markus with a raised brow. And is it hard? You mentioned choosing fastest songs...?

Markus grinned. "It stands for Dance Dance Revolution. What it is, is that you've gor a mat or platform with four arrows on it, one in each direction. These are touch sensitive and the point of the game is to step on the arrows as the corresponding signs reach the top of the screen in beaat to music. The harder levels take a lot of skill and practice, though. I have it with me. You want to try?"

It sounds quite interesting, Kimura laughed, imagining himself dancing on a platform. I'll certainly watch you do it, but I'm not so sure about trying it myself. I'd look pretty silly!

Markus laughed. "Everyone does, at first. Hang on a sec." He disappeared into the bedrooom, digging out the Playstation and game from his trunk. Coming back into the room, he looked from the TV to the Playstation and back. Groaning he knelt before the TV. He began plugging things in. "I hate setting these up," he muttered.
Standing up a few minutes later, he plugged in the mat, turned on the telivision, and selected the correct channel. Pulling off his shoes, he stepped onto the mat. The game's starting screen showed up and he scrolled though songs and characters. Wanting to impress, he picked a fast song, set it on the third level, and began to step rapidly on the corresponding arrows. He continued through jumps and holds, feet forming complex patterns. At the end of the song he got an A and he turned to Kimura, breathing hard but grinning. "What'd you think?"

Kimura watched the other, half amused and half in awe. That was very... complex looking, he finally said, grinning himself. I would never be able to pull anything like that off. Five seconds or so into the song, I'd probably fall over or knock something down! The boy laughed softly at the thought. So have you practiced a lot to get to that level?

((Yaru-chan, if you want to go ahead and have Raziel come see Bianca, I don't think Loli would mind. She has a case of writer's block right now.))

Sweating slightly, Markus stepped off. "Try about two years. I can do faster ones, but it's important to warm up. The lower levels are easier, and I have another mat. Want to learn?" he smiled.

((Oh okay, Sammie. I just didn't want to interrupt anything.))
God knows how long he spent in front of the mirror, but Raziel finally emerged, prim and pristine, looking his best (or as best as he tought.) Making sure he had his key, he locked the door as he left, heading downstairs to find the lovely landlady. He looked about, wondering if she was still in the office, thinking of how best to present himself.
