Rating: TBA, but probably PG-13 to R for language
Status: Incomplete

After writing in his journal about going to meet George in the Entertainment Room, Andy grinned. It was kind of cool being able to write in the little book and know that everyone could see it, even if it did get him into a small spot of trouble before. Convenient and easy.

"Hey, room, I need some munchies...I plan on being down there for a while," he announced to no one as he headed into the bathroom to take a shower. George might not be interested...but she might be, too, and Andy had no idea. Might as well look and smell nice, at least. Hey, you never know.

Hopping out of the shower and getting dressed, Andy was pleased and not entirely surprised to see a few bags of chips, some packaged cookies, and some cheese sticks alongside a six pack of beer and another of soda waiting on his mattress. "Thanks," he said, again to no one, as he stuffed the goodies into a backpack which was also on the mattress, even if he hadn't asked for it.

It took a few minutes to get his bearings, because he'd never really looked for the Entertainment Room (he'd just somehow known it was there), but once he figured out where he was and where he was headed, Andy was well on his way. When he got to the room, it was still empty and, figuring he'd given such a vague time in the journal that maybe no one had shown just yet, he made himself comfortable on one of the sofas and turned on the Nintendo Wii. The television came to life all on its own, it would seem.

Strapping the remote around his wrist, Andy decided to test his fitness on the Wii Sports game while he waited...since that was the only game he'd ever played and was familiar enough not to look like an idiot playing.

Illyana had slept late, enjoying the lie-in after the party the day before. She'd sort of lazed around, which was unusual for her, although she had braved the heavy snow to go and check on the snowman army. They would end up buried alive, but there was really nothing she could do about it. It would be silly to use her magic to protect them from the elements, and using her power frivolously wasn't something she ever did. She'd just have to rebuild later, when the snow died down.

Most of the day she'd spent curled up in her room reading, but she'd noticed Andy's offer of video games and decided to take him up on it. He'd seemed pretty nice in writing, and she didn't know too many people yet. So after a late dinner, she'd asked a golem how to get to the entertainment room, and it had very kindly escorted her over. She patted it on the head as it turned to leave. In a weird way, it reminded her of some of the lesser demons in Limbo that Belasco, and, by extension, she, had kept as servants. That shouldn't have been a comforting thought, but it was.

She stepped inside the room and looked around. The only person there was standing with his back to her, in front of a television, but a far more high-tech one than had been at the mansion at home. He was holding a little device in one hand and moving around like he was going to hit something with that hand. On the screen, a little figure was mimicking his actions, only it was holding a baseball bat and swinging at a ball. He was dressed pretty casually, which made Illyana glad she'd opted for more casual attire as well.

"Hello," she said as she stepped further into the room. "Are you Andy?"

Well, bowling was a no-go, because no matter how hard he tried, Andy couldn't get the ball to stop hooking to the left. "God, fitness is gonna age me at, like, 50 because I suck at bowling. Lame," he muttered to himself and fixed his arm up as the game changed. Baseball. Andy was good at the baseball game; maybe he could offset the bad bowling with some good baseball and end up with a more reasonable fitness age.

"Home run, bitch, that's right," he said, smirking as he lambasted one of the balls with a hard flick of his wrist.

Then he heard someone say hello and ask whether he was Andy. Pausing the game, he looked over his shoulder. "That's me, are you..." Andy turned to face her and raised his eyebrows. "Illyana? Was that it? Am I pronouncing it right?"

Well, she certainly wasn't George, because he'd met George in person and Illyana had been the only person who had responded to his invite, so logically, it was her. He held out a hand to her. "Nice to meet you in person," he added with a grin.

	George smiled at the TV, and at Andy and Illynana. It could be fun. Why wouldn't it be fun? She tried to control the controller - well that was new - and with a little difficulty, she finally mastered it enough to make a little toon of herself. "There. That's me." She said, with an accomplished smile. "Are we bowling? 'Cause I can bowl. Kinda." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	George shrugged, and played her tenth frame without that much of a soul. Still, she knocked back a considerable amount of pins, and grinned. She handed the remote to Illyana. "Oh. Mario Kart? Is that what you mean? Because that game is shit." She said, sitting back down on the couch. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
