Who: Kitty Pryde and Dominic Petros When: Tuesday Evening - 8:30 PM Where: The Rec Room; Xavier's Institute What: Kitty's playing one of her complicated video games and is stuck on one of the many puzzle stages. More to come! Rating: TBD Status: Incomplete.
It was rare that Kitty was able to find the recreation room empty and to herself. It was during that time when she took over the television for a bit to get in some prime time game time. She wasn’t ashamed of the fact that she played video games. She simply didn’t play video games that others found terribly fascinating. She hated sports games and the games that involved copious amounts of blood and gore were simply not for her. She preferred games that included puzzles and hours of strategic game play. If she was going to put forth the effort and sit on a sofa, she wanted to give her mind a decent workout in the process.
Licking her lips, Katie held the console controller firmly in her hands as she moved her character about the futuristic city on the screen. She was playing a first person shooter and had just finished her most recent campaign. She was working her way to the next area and was working through a difficult puzzle. She had been working on this particular stage for a few days now, always getting stuck at the same area. She refused to look up answers online as she knew she could, eventually, figure it out on her own. She had taken notes, written down each movement and had gone back over them. Still, though, she had come up with nothing.
And there she sat, at the same puzzle at the same spot staring idly at the screen. She had gone back and changed a few moves, but still became stuck at the same place. She let out a long sigh, sitting back against the couch cushions frowning. It wasn’t fair! There had to be a way to solve it. She knew if she looked up the answers, she would mentally kick herself for missing something so simple. So, instead, she sat there staring at the screen. Perhaps, if she stared long enough, the answer would eventually jump out at her.
