When: Wednesday Night
Location: Entertainment Car
Warnings/Rating: N/A
Summary: Random meeting.
Status: Dice/Finished

With Abby finally asleep Connor grabbed his tablet and quiet left their cabin. He hadn’t been tired and he didn’t want to wake Abby up with any noise he’d make so he decided it was best for him to go somewhere else in the train and do something. She deserved uninterrupted sleep after all the hell she had been through. He really wished he could do more for her, but he couldn’t make somebody’s guilt disappear. All he could do was be there for her and help her through it all. But for now he needed to go do something to take his mind off of Abby.

He made his way to the entertainment car, deciding that was the best place to keep his mind occupied for a bit. He tossed his tablet on the couch and turned on the TV and gaming system. Once he had a game picked he was on the couch and playing. It wasn’t as fun as when Abby and him played the other day, but it’ll do!

Even though he was concentrating on the game so much, he still heard the door open and then closed. He really didn’t think anyone would be passing through. It seemed like everyone had been in their own cabins or in other parts of the car when he first came to the entertainment car. “Hello,” he greeted only glancing back for a moment to catch a glimpse of who his new company was. It was definitely somebody he didn’t know.

“You don’t need to know the rules. Just shoot and kill and do the mission.” Was this bloke for real? Connor just stared at him as he went on with the whole ‘my people’ thing. “Are you an alien or something?” He just shrugged his shoulder and said, “Go ahead.” He wasn’t going to tell him to go away just because he didn’t seem to understand the game or whatever. He turned back around so he could face the TV and started playing the game again.

	"An alien? Do I look like an alien? No, I'm human, just like you. I simply have not been exposed to such things as these. These are muggle games, and I am not a muggle." He sat down in a nearby chair, watching the screen. "It's awfully violent, isn't it?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

“I’ve been on this train long enough to know not to judge a book by its cover. Just because you don’t look like an alien doesn’t mean that you can’t be one.” What did Percy expect anyway with the way he had been talking? Anyone would have questioned him like that. “Muggle?” Okay, that was an odd word he has never heard before. “You can’t blame me for the way I’m thinking when you’re throwing around weird words and saying ‘my people’.”

He glanced over at Percy when he asked his question. “That’s the point.” He kind of smirked and kept on playing. “Are you sure you don’t want to join in?”

	"Yes, muggles. Non-magical people, like you. I'm a wizard, so they are my people. You are likely acquainted with some of my brothers and sisters, on board." He watched for a moment. "Is there not enough violence in life already? I have lived through a war, I am not sure I want to play with one." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

“Oh,” Connor said with a slight roll of his eyes. “You’re one of them.”

Was he seriously going to get one of these speeches? It was just a stupid game. “Sorry you lived through a war, mate, but this is just a game and it was something to take my mind off some stuff.” He glanced down at his tablet to see if maybe Abby was looking for him yet. Nothing yet.

	"If by "one of them" you mean 'wizards', then yes." He turned his eyes to the game, crossing his arms across his chest in disapproval. "Are there games for these devices where you don't brutally murder people?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

“Yeah, that’s exactly who I meant. I met one when the train was going through dino world.”

Connor caught the disapproving way Percy was sitting. It kind of reminded him of a child who wasn’t getting their way or didn’t want to eat their veggies. “How old are you?” He had to ask.

“Yes, there are other non violent games, but I didn’t want to play any of them.”

	"And apparently it was not a good meeting?" He raised an eyebrow when asked his age, curious what that had to do with anything. "I'm twenty-seven," he said with a shrug. "Perhaps a bit too old to find the amusement in your games." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

All Connor had wanted to do tonight was play some video games and take his mind off of the things that had been going on, but with Percy here it was making it a bit difficult, especially when they had that snotty attitude. “Looks like we’re the same age and I don’t see anything wrong with video games.” He sighed and got up and turned the game off. “I need to go check on Abby,” he said as he grabbed his tablet from off of the couch and started to head towards the door. “Nice meeting you.” And with that said he walked out and went back to his and Abby’s cabin.
