Welcome to Gaia! ::

She'd been told to swing by the AV room whevneer was convenient for her, so she'd picked the afternoon following her conversation with Dwight. Taym's laptop, still in the box it'd come in, was in one hand. "Hello, Dwight?" She knocked on the door frame as she came in, scanning the room for signs of life. "You here?"

His voice drew her attention to where he was bent over what looked like a game, and she wandered over, laptop in hand, until she could take a curious peek over his shoulder. "Whatcha playin'?" It had been some time since Peyton had played any sort of video games, but she was fairly certain the device in his hands was some kind of Gameboy. Not like any she'd ever seen, but the buttons looked very Nintendo-y.

On the screen was a little person, they appeared to be crying.

"That looks kinda like Shu," she pointed out, setting the laptop on the table before folding her arms against his shoulder so she could lean in for a better look. Then he was tapping the screen, pulling up another small character, this time blonde. "November twenty ninth, and Pink, or purple, or anything bright." Her head tilted as she watched the screen. "Is that me?"

Now she was interested, pale eyes glued on the screen as he started making the little blonde girl look more like the original. "Who else is in there? A bunch of us?" She wasn't really much of a gamer, but that actually looked pretty fun. She'd enjoyed the Sims when it had first come out, but this seemed cuter, easier.

When he asked about the laptop her gaze slid up from the screen and landed on the box that sat in front of them on the desk. "Kind of." She frowned thoughtfully. "I didn't buy it, but I have unlimited access to it, which is pretty awesome. Figured I could pitch in, get it modded, you know?"

"Did the little me really just ask to be friends with Rep?" It came you sounding deadpan, but she laughed anyways, settling back into her lean against Dwight's shoulder.

That knowing smile made her wanna squirm, but she gave a relieved smile when he assured he she'd still get the discount. It also made her want to ask who he thought it was for, but it was probably better to just leave it alone and accept his wonderful generosity. "Thanks, you're of amazing. For this, and for always letting me borrow things."

Peyton smirked, laughing under her breath. "Well, little me doesn't know any better yet. She'll learn." Or so she imagined. She wasn't really sure if that was how the game worked or not, but probably. She blinked at his excitement, eyes sliding sideways to land on him before returning to the screen. "Is that Mark?" Then she squinted, leaning a little closer for a better look. "Is that Caelius?!" And... "Robert?"

Strange game. Very strange game. It did seem fun though.

She stood up straighter, not leaning on him now, as his attention lifted to her, and she gave him a very grateful smile at the compliment. "I try not to." Taking advantage smacked a little too closely to dependency for her comfort. She was aware of how emotionally needy she'd become in the year she'd been on Deus, but she'd be damned if she let someone else take care of her.

That was her job.

"I've never been huge on video games, but that does seem fun." She wanted other things first, but when she ran through her 'to-buy' list it was a definite possibility. She made a mental note of it, filing it away for later.

With his full attention on her now she moved to rest her hip against the desk, hands resting on the edge. "Music no, only because I have no idea on preference, but yes to movies. Preferably the sort of movies that lead to pop cultural references."

Pale eyes narrowed on him thoughtfully for a moment, gauging his expression, and when she conceded that he wasn't just pulling her leg she smiled. "I can see that. There is a variety of nasties being fought in those shows."

Remembering that Taym had said she could use the laptop more or less when ever she wanted, a wicked little grin slid along glossed lips. "Any disney movies you might want to add would also be appreciated, and the Harry Potters, or any other book to movie series."
