Thread: Nerd Hard
WHO: Mike Karasik and Derrick Wesley
WHEN: Oct. 19, afternoon
WHERE: Derrick's room, Sphinx dorms
Mike was pretty sure he was living in a dream world. He was at a really awesome school with tons of pretty girls, and oh, he was living next door to his buddy GetGud, whose name was actually Derrick and lived a state right above him! Mike was finding his feet, even if the first couple days or so there were spent gawking at people. The Mario Kart tournament at Sphinx house ended up being Mike versus Derrick in the end. The two technopaths couldn't really "turn off" what they could do and it was hard to tell what was manipulation and what was their own honed in skill from years of gaming. The random number generator awarded them more blues than others, but only if people actually wrote it down. Even if the game was made up of cartoonish characters, it was a blood bath on the track.
"Did you see that guy's face when we blue-shelled him and took the top two spots?" Mike was still reminiscing about the races, "It's so much better seeing that stuff in person than just online." The only time they really saw the faces of their defeated opponents was if they the other team was live streaming it. There had been some discomfort though because Mike felt like he couldn't say what he wanted to stay with everyone there. It was easy to talk shit online but much harder when the guy was right next to you.
They were currently playing an alpha test to some new game that was full of bugs. The two were constantly invited to this sort of thing, and it only fueled Mike's online ego. He moved the cursor of his mouse to select options on the screen for battle. "This school is so legit. I'm glad that we were sent here and not some weird facility like they show on movies. This is like the X-Mansion, right?"
