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.

George smirked at Andy as she took the remote.

"I take it you're not too happy about playing bowling?" She asked, moving in front of the television. It wasn't special, her game, but it worked. A few more pins this time. She wondered if there were any games where the character had a baseball bat and kicked everyone else's ass. If there was, she'd have to try it sometime.

"Here you go, Illyana." She said, handing it over. "Before he forces us to play something else out of embarrassment."

Illyana had doubts about kicking everyone's ass by the tenth frame. She'd really just be happy to not do embarrassingly horribly. So she made sure to watch her opponents carefully when it wasn't her turn.

She smirked when George handed her the remote. "He wouldn't," she said as she rose and headed over to the TV. "That would be admitting defeat. Most men I know don't like doing that."

Even if 'Berto were the worst player at a game like this, he'd still play to the end. He was the most stubborn male she knew, and didn't lose gracefully. She snickered, thinking of 'Berto playing something like this, as she threw her first ball. Less wrist-twisting this time, and the ball went more-or-less down the side in a straight line, knocking out four pins. She smirked again.

"This isn't so bad," she said, taking her second shot. This one went too wide and ended up in the gutter, causing Illyana to scowl. "Then again...." She turned to Andy and tossed the control at him. "Heads up!" she said.

"Bowling's not really my thing," Andy admitted to George. "Out of all the sports on this game, I'd pick baseball over bowling any day, but it's not so bad." He grinned at her.

When Illyana took the remote and made a remark about him not quitting the game because it'd be admitting defeat, Andy laughed. "Wise words," he joked. "I might suck at this game, but I'm no quitter," he added with a smirk.

He caught the remote easily when Illyana tossed it to him and took his turn, managing to pick up another spare, although it had been kind of a cop out when one of the pins he'd actually hit had rolled around in a circle and nudged one that he'd missed over. He couldn't complain, though.

Andy held the remote out to George. "After this game, we'll have to try somethin' else I don't suck at," he said, only half joking.

George smirked, one eyebrow lifted, as she took the remote from Andy again.

She quickly played her turn - not so bad, but not great, by any means - and turned around, giving Illyana the remote again. "You're still too good at this." She told her, trying hard not to spew as she took another sip of her cold, cold beer.
Good thing the planet kept the drinks chilled, at least.

Then, George turned to Andy. "Well, what do you have in mind? What don't you suck at?" She smirked, sort of guessing what his answer might be.
