Trooper Station - Saturday

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

Roy had caught one of the troopers that morning playing games on what the guy called a Nintendo. Which was kind of an interesting little piece of technology and it was just because he should get used to this world's technology - please ignore that he wasn't going anywhere near a computer for his paperwork - that he made the trooper explain how to use it.

So now he was behind the front desk, playing something called 'Advance Wars: Dark Conflicts'. And he wasn't amused that Trak made him think of Havoc or that the O'Brian character needed an eyepatch. As did Sigusmundo. And a sword.

((Open. Been wanting to do this for ages.))

An hour or so after swinging by the Perk, and with her good mood still holding, Kerrigan passed into the trooper station. And paused by the computer, cocking her head at him and shooting him a sarcastic expression. "Having fun on the job?"

Roy startled and sat up in his chair, trying to hide the thingie underneath the desk. It was just the shock really, he knew it was no use with Kerrigan. "Isn't a job supposed to be fun?"

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

"Some jobs, yes." She stalked over, pressing her hands against the desk, and eyed him dryly. "I'm not sure this one's from the cop business, though."

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

"Sure it is," he put the game on top of the desk to let her see. "It's all about strategy, see?"

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

"I'm sure it's very useful," she said, glancing down at it, "You know, if the trooper station shifts into 2D and gives you a lot of very round tanks."

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

"You never know what might happen next," he pointed out with a smirk. "It's fun. Wanna try?"

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

"I got enough of that in real life," Kerrigan replied, with a smirk. Then paused. "Although not as round. Or two-dimensional."

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

"Are you sure? Those tanks did look very flat once we were through with them," he joked.

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

"Let a guy blow up some tanks once, his entire ego goes to hell," she snorted.

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

"I think my ego has been to hell a long time before that," he assured her.

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

She paused, as if thinking about it. "Can't find fault in that reasoning. Egomaniac."

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

"Part of my charm," he reminded her, waving off the protest and he glanced at the screen, wondering if he should start the attack or hold off a bit longer.

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

"Attack," Kerrigan commented, turning around and leaning back against the desk. "Your efficiency continues to astound."

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

"I'll have more troops over there if I wait a bit longer," he pointed out. "Less chance of getting overpowered."

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

"At which point most people would've already found that weakness in the back over there," she gestured, "And exploited it."

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

Roy eyed her, hummed softly as he couldn't fault her on that. "The game isn't that smart, though."

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

"Makes you sloppy, then," she grinned.

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

"Means I'm exploiting their weakness," he pointed out. "Which is part of being strategic."

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

"Only until you lose your head and try to apply it to reality." She peered over at the game again, "Which is gonna happen if you get sucked into that."

Mocking? Maybe a little.

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

He raised an eyebrow at her. "You think I will lose my grip on reality, Lieutenant?"

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

"With your ego, anything can happen." She paused, again. "... I really think you should attack now."

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

He laughed and it was amazing how easily he got used to these controls as he started the attack. "Impatient."

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

"Just being tactical," Kerrigan replied, looking away again. "They were launching their own offensive."

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

Roy smirked. "See? It is fun."

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

"If you enjoy the unrealistic battles, sure."
