Molly bit her lip. "I don't think i have ever played that one before." She admitted. "But i'd love to give it a shot." She gave him a warm smile. Molly was happy that they got along and seemed to be starting off on the right foot.
|
"Oohh, really?" Hirsch started to sped up in their trek. "I can show you how to play. I loooove it." They had reached his room in no time, and he quickly ushered her inside. On closer inspection, the television in his room was surrounded by many different gaming systems...
|
Molly's eyes got wide as she stared at the different systems. There were so many! And a fortunes worth of games. She had never seen so many in one place and half of the games she had never heard of. "Wow, you really like gaming." She smiled up at him.
|
"I do, indeed. It's one of my favorite hobbies...along with spying on the human world," Hirsch added, rather mischievously. "My goodness, it's nearly all I do when I don't have official sorts of jobs from Cici..."
((I'm going to be heading to bed soon. Terrible migraine... )) |
Molly grinned. "Well now what exactly do you spy on humans for? We cant be nearly that interesting." She laughed as she examined the games. "I mean, my life wasn't really all that interesting anyway." She turned around holding the game out to him wit ha smile on her face.
|
"You are," Hirsch corrected, pointedly. "Your world is interesting to me...mine is boring, since I've lived here all my life..." He took the game she chose, noting that she'd chosen the first game out of the two from his favorite series, and hurried to get it in his Xbox 360.
|
Molly looked around for a place to sit. She didn't know if it would be right to sit on his bed so she just stood and grabbed the two controllers for them. Then she handed one to Hirsch once the system was started up.
|
Hirsch took the controller eagerly and then plopped down on his bed, patting the area next to him. "Come on, sit here with me. The closer we are, the easier it will be to communicate with each other..."
|
Molly's face flushed a bit, but she smiled. She crawled up onto the bed next to him and laid down on her stomach propping herself up on her elbows. With the controller in hand she looked up at Hirsch. "Alrighty, how do we play this game?" She asked him with a smile.
|
Hirsch went through a semi-long-winded explanation of the controls, everything from how to shoot, to how to jump, to how to crouch. "It should help you along with controls as we go..." he hummed, grinning.
|
Molly grinned. "Alright then lets get this thing started!" She found herself giggling with excitement. It had been along time since she had gotten to play a video game and just have fun. She was Glad that it seemed like Hirsch was having fun. It made her feel good.
|
Hirsch quickly started up the game. The particular level he had chosen started on the top of an urban building, with a helicopter overhead blaring that they needed to get to a hospital for evacuation from the area. The moment the cut-scene ended, Hirsch's character, whom he had chosen randomly, began to pick up guns from the offered pile of them, as well as a medical pack.
|
Molly made her character follow Hirsch's. She picked up a few guns and a medical pack along with a few grenades. Then she looked around. "Alright now where is this hospital?" She asked out loud but not to any one in particular.
|
"This way." Hirsch led the way down a flight of stairs...at the bottom of the stairs, they encountered their first enemies. Ambling around the area were zombies--male and female alike. They seemed harmless enough, but the moment they spotted the approaching characters, they turned on them and raced towards them--not at all like typical, slow zombies.
|
"Oh wow." Molly said as she took aim at the charging zombies. "This is pretty cool!" Molly said with a grin as she gave Hirsch a quick glance before looking back to the screen. Her character emptied a clip in the approaching zombies before they got too close. The grin stayed on Molly's face as the game continued.
|
Hirsch followed suit, attacking the zombies with a baseball bat his character had found in one of the side rooms. "I did mention my friend who creates real zombies, right?" he asked, curiously. "He makes his zombies based on the ones in this game. These common ones...and then, the 'Special' ones."
|
"Y-yeah you mentioned him." Molly stuttered as she kept fighting. But the fact that he based his creations off the game was rather interesting. "That's kind of cool actually." She glanced at him quickly. "What exactly do you mean by 'special' ones. I've never played this game i have no idea what you are referring to."
|
"Special ones like..." Hirsch's character stopped moving, suddenly, when he heard the sound of low, guttural growling in the distance. "Here. I'll show you. Don't move your character--the two AIs with us will help me once it attacks."
The growling drew closer, until a crouched, hooded, human-like figure walking on all fours turned the corner into the hallway they were in. The moment it came into sight, it screamed, screeching like a feral sort of animal, and launched itself through the air at Hirsch's character. The two toppled over, and the zombie started ripping the character to shreds. The other two characters, AI bots, were quick to kill the creature. |
Molly jumped a bit when she saw the creature launch itself at Hirsch's character, and inevitably, she actually bumped into Hirsch as he sat next to her. "What's wrong with that one? Why is it so different from the others?" Then another thought occurred. "And please tell me your friends creations don't go around eating people."
|
Hirsch grinned, rather apologetically. "All of the models of zombies, including the Specials, must eat some kind of meat. Human will do, but so will others. ...Wait, strike that. There's just one model of zombie that doesn't eat meat. It will eat only sugar."
|
Molly shuddered at the thought. This was a demon kingdom though, so it only made sence. The last part of his statement sounded interesting. "Just sugar? How does that work?" She asked as she looked up at him, an eyebrow raised as she awaited his answer.
|
Hirsch began to plow through more zombies on the game, eager to get moving. "That particular kind of zombie has an addiction to sugar. Meat isn't needed, as long as sugary snacks are around. In fact, sugary things are preferred over meat for them..."
|
"Oh okay." She turned her attention back to the game and followed Hirsch's character. She continued to take out zombies as she followed him around. "So do you ever go visit this friend of yours?" Molly asked after a while.
|
"Once a week," Hirsch replied, taking out a few more different 'Specials.' He explained them as they went along, jubilantly. "He owns a shop of oddities, and he operates his side-business in an adjoining building."
|
Molly nodded. "So i take it i will get to meet him then." She took out a few more zombies and continued to follow Hirsch around the screen. "So what types of oddities does he sell?...Oh and if i'm talking to much please let me know." She added quickly. Normally she wasn't one to keep talking but she was eager to know more about Hirsch, although the conversation wasn't leading towards him. Molly wished that would change.
