Ammeryn blinked as the cut scene showed after the first battle of the game-- nothing too important, just an omg the FUCK was that, we should leave thing.
"You're... really good," she commented, amused. She glanced sideways at him.
"Here," she said, reached over with one hand to work at the knot, the pad of her thumb moving in little pressured circles.

"Thanks," he said both to the complement and to the help with his neck. He couldn't help but purr quietly in the back of his neck, until the cut scene was over. Then he snapped right back into gamer mode.
"Now, where would that dang key be?" He made Jonhyun walk in circles. Then a smirk came arcoss Raoul's features, "I wonder if I could just pick the lock with this dude's hair, it's spikey enough."

Ammeryn had to smirk. She'd heard that purr.
"Dude. Try it. We've got nothing to lose," she told him, chuckling.
She was smirking still when she'd said it. That smirk turned into a grin when Raoul walked Jonghyun back into the hallways to try it.
But when it actually worked, and the little xbox text popped up to say "Achievement unlocked-- Hair Pick", her jaw went slack and she burst into laughter.
"Oh my god! That's an actual-- Dude, you got epic gamer points for that! Bahahaha!"

"You weren't kidding," Raoul said, fighting back his own laughter, "30,000 points?!"
When he finally regained his self he said, "Since I have the camera, I'll go first. I don't want you spazing on me."
He walked through the door to see a large open room with a ladder to the right and double doors on the other side of the room. In the middle was an area surrounded by a curtain. "What's that?" he asked to his self.

Ammeryn giggled. "That's three thousand, Raoul. Not thirty thousand."
Ammeryn positioned Kimi, flashlight beam through the doorway so that Jonghyun would have a clear view. The beam fell on the curtained area. The cloth was gauzy and a bit translucent; there was a shadow behind it that might have been a sleeping figure.
Kimi brushed past Jonghyun and spammed the x button to investigate.
"There seems to be something behind this curtain."
-x-
"There seems to be something behind this curtain."
Ammeryn huffed and prompted Kimi to check out the other wall of curtain.
-x-
"You see what might be a figure behind this curtain."
"I want to go in!" She grumbled. "What, are these curtains made of steel?"

"My hair could probably cut it," Raoul said rolling his eyes. Then he checked out the rest of the room, found some oracle moss. "I think we're supposed to go through these double doors, the ladder doesn't seem to go anywhere."

Ammeryn huffed again. The healing moss was the replacement for the "herbal medicines" in the earlier half of the Fatal Frame series.
"I can... try to have Kimi climb it," she muttered, leading her character over to it.
Fuck. Cut scene. Kimi started to climb and got about halfway up the ladder before a tremendous roar sounded from the ceiling, and the entire room shook. Kimi was thrown off the ladder by an unseen force, landing on top of Jonghyun and knocking the both of them to the floor. The scene ended, and a text appeared on the bottom of the screen: It seems you are not meant to investigate that area yet.
"Well no shit, game!" Ammeryn snapped. She chewed on her lower lip and went over to the double doors, pressing x to go through.
The screen showed Kimi frozen in the action of opening the door. This was not an ominous show-- showing the characters opening a door was the game's loading screen for the next area.
Though it was taking a bit longer than necessary.
"I don't like how long that took," Ammeryn commented when the door was opened.

"yeah . . . that didn't make me tingle tingle," Raoul said as he made Jonghyn walk through the doors . . . Then the tv spit screened. "Aww, shit," Raoul said as he moved around randomly, "Where are you?! I can't see a thing!"

Ammeryn chewed on her lower lip and worked the joysticks. The game paused, then they heard Kimi whimper. Ammeryn, curious, pressed the camera button. The viewfinder filled her screen.
"Looks like I have the camera. That means you've got the flashlight."

"Oh yeah," Raoul said hitting R1, the hall way filled again with dim light, "I forgot you could turn the flashlight off in this one." He spun around expecting to find Kimi somewhere near by . . . but she wasn't.
"I still have no clue where you are, bb," he said glancing over at Ammeryn.

Ammeryn glanced at him as well. Their eyes met, and she quirked her glossed lips to one side.
Back to the screen. Ammeryn prompted Kimi down the hallway. Kimi called for Jonghyun a few times, rather halfheartedly, before continuing on her way. It was very dark without the flashlight on her screen-- she could hardly make out the lines of the walls and floor.
Faint ghosts began to drift along the edges of the screen. Ammeryn raised the camera to take a picture of them, but they disappeared as soon as the viewfinder went up.
"I'm... I'm in the hallway with the ninjas," she commented.

Raoul began to walk along his hallway. "Wait a sec," Raoul muttered as he pulled up the map, "Just as I thought, we're in two different hallways!" Raoul made Jonghyun run. "We have to meet back up again at some point right? Just try not to get attacked, if you spaz I can't help you."

"You're confidence in my abilities is stunning," Ammeryn muttered, leading Kimi along. She kept seeing those specters. They were getting closer to her. None of them had actually touched her, but Kimi's panic meter was slowly lengthening, nonetheless.
"Aw, hell. They're not even touching me. Is this a glitch, or am I being challenged?" Ammeryn paused the game and reached across Raoul's lap to grab the game booklet. She flipped through a few pages. "It says... well, darn. It says they don't have to touch her if she's alone. That sucks." Oh well. The meter wasn't filling with anywhere near the vehemence that it did when she was attacked. At least th--
Two of the specters twined together to make a sort of patchwork ghost, which lunged at her. Ammeryn spammed the camera function and snapped a picture a quickly as she could. When the flash cleared and showed the image, she squeaked. The ghosts's screaming face had been quite literally in the lens.
But the single shot had killed it. That was good. These ghosts were weak-- but there were more of them, and Kimi's panic meter was close to half full.

"It's not my lack of confidence it's the . . ." the ghosts started to attack Kimi. ". . . the fact that your spectre bacon," Raoul finished as he mad Jonghyun run as fast as he could. He came to a door which he opened to a different room. This room had a well, but he was not going to inspect it, he needed to find Kimi.
Raoul ran to the room along side the other wall which led to another dark hallway. "I think I see you," Raoul said a little relived.

While this was going on, Ammeryn was fighting off the ghosts that kept joining together to attack her. She hadn't actually been touched yet, but with each successive attack the meter started growing faster. Eventually, it reached it's peak, and began to flash rather alarmingly.
On screen, Kimi emitted a terrified half-shriek, dropping the camera and dashing forward, between the ghosts to barrel down the hallway. Jesus, she ran fast!
Ammeryn had no control over Kimi in this mode. She worked the joysticks, but Kimi ignored her commands, bolting through the darkness until she quite literally smashed into a corner, where she slid into a crouch and covered her head with her arms, quivering.
"Oh. So that's panic mode. Geez, she runs like Sonic the Hedgehog."

Raoul couldn't help but laugh. "And you wonder why I asked you out?" he said with a smile, "That quote was priceless."
Jonghyun quickly made it over to Kimi and at that moment the rage meter turned from gold to red and flashed. "Awe, hell yeah," Raoul said as he hit "o" and punched the ghost in the face. The ghost shivered and screamed, disappearing and leaving behind an artifact. "Ghost punch for the win!" Raoul said happily, "I like this character, creepy hair and all."
Jonghyun helped Kimi to her feet, found the camera and picked up the artifact. "Now what is this thing?" Raoul asked his self, "A cog? for what?!"

Ammeryn smiled and gave a little bow. "Thank you, thank you."
The rage meter bit made her arch an eyebrow. Damn. Jonghyun for the win.
During the cutscene in which Jonghyun picked up the camera and the cog (there was some fluff in there, too) Ammeryn watched Raoul, a new grin playing across her features. As a matter of fact, she had been wondering what had made Raoul ask her out after only knowing her for a day.
"The cog's got a spiderweb design on it," she commented. "Why is this area spider-themed?"
The cut scene continued. A low whistling drifted down the hallway, from the direction Jonghyun had come in. The scene ended with the two characters turning in unison to face down the hallway, and they were prompted to save their progress before continuing.
Ammeryn, grinning fully now, let her hand slide across the bed and find Raoul's, twining her fingers through his.

Raoul pursed his lips together at the save screen. "Oo, that is never a good si . . ." Amme's fingers laced through his and his shoulder's stiffened a little. He had NOT been expecting that one. He glanced over at Amme, a hint of pink on his cheeks. He chose to save the game and waited for the game to resume, these things took forever to save.
He looked at Amme and pulled her hand to his mouth kissing the top of it gently. "I'm guessing this is my answer then?" he asked looking at her through his bangs, his eyes intence with curiosity.

Ammeryn felt a warmth rising in her cheeks, and knew she must have been blushing. She kept her gaze on the screen, however, not able to hide her grin.
"It might be," she commented, her skin tingling where Raoul had kissed her hand.

"Well, if it is my answer," Raoul said giving her had a squeeze, "I'm very pleased." The game FINALLY saved and they were given the opportunity to return to the menu or continue playing.
Raoul stifled another yawn. "Is it dinner time yet?" Raoul asked, "We should probably grab some food before the others eat it all."

Ammeryn checked the time on her cellphone. It was a bit past the beginning of dinner.
"It is," she told him, putting the phone away just as her stomach growled rather vehemently. She stood up. "Noms-- we must attain them."

"I agree," Raoul said getting up and holding out a hand to help her up. "We don't want the fat kids to get our food," he said with a smirk.
But Raoul was so effing tired. He hoped that it didn't show. But how was he going to nap with Amme around . . . a plan he needed one.

Ammeryn was at the door already, swinging her weight back and forth on her heels with her grip on the doorknob.
"Are you coming?" She asked innocently, as if she had been standing there the whole time.

Raoul couldn't stifle his yawn this time. He covered his mouth with his hand and shook his head, trying to stay awake. He might as well fess up.
"Umm, Amme," Raoul said slowly seating his self back on the bed, "I'm really tired. Would it be ok, if I took a quick nap while you eat?" He looked up at her pouting a little. He literally had no energy left. "I'll leave the door unlocked and you can come back and play more when you finish." At least 30 minutes would surely be enough for a quick nap, acutally he might only get 20 minutes because he would have to change back. But some nap was better than no nap.

Ammeryn smiled. "That's fine, you'd said you didn't get much sleep anyway." She stepped out into the hallway. "I'll.... I'll bring you something from the mess hall."
