With the curtains drawn and the lights off, the student lounge was quite dark-- save for the faint glow of the young woman seated cross-legged on the floor in front of the television, a PS2 controller in her hands, her eyes riveted to the screen. Aye was almost glad that it had been raining all day. Less sun meant that her own light was that much dimmer, resulting in much more satisfying gameplay. The horror game had her complete attention; she was traveling out into a courtyard garden, the centerpiece of which was an arrangement of Japanese gravestones next to an old, broken-down well.
An indicator on the corner of the screen glowed blue, showing that there was something in the area she needed to inspect. blue was a neutral indicator-- she was not in danger until it glowed red. After a short search she found her target: something at the bottom of the well. She approached the darkness that was the shaft of the well, when suddenly a torn, broken and screaming ghost flitted up from the depths to attack her. Aye swore and frantically worked the controller, the stream of profanity growing in both volume and severity as she was attacked:
"Shit! Oh! Ohhhh, NO, you LIE! Fick dich! Du und deine Mutter! Deine MUTTER! Verdammte Scheiße!"

Elan knew very little of the German language-- he could introduce himself and remark upon a woman's beauty, but his lingual progress stopped there as far as any of the European dialects went. Regardless, the tone of voice and the odd light showing from beneath the door to the student lounge gave the werewolf a fair idea of what the social acceptance of such words were. Aye was a notorious potty-mouth as far as Elan was concerned-- though regrettably she saved such rough language for less-than-public situations.
He lifted the weight of the door as he turned the knob, opening the door as silently as he could, just wide enough for him to peek in.
"Do you kiss your mother with that mouth?"

Aye jumped and dropped the controller at the sudden, unexpected sound of Elan's voice, emitting a high-pitched squeak. "Wolfchien! Don't do that!"
A few chords of music sounded. Aye looked back to the screen and squealed, rolling backwards and lying on the floor to catch her breath. She must have hit start when she'd dropped the controller-- the pause screen showed a horrendous close-up of the ghost she had been fighting.

Elan's eyebrows rose. He bit his lip, fighting to hold back the laughter that he could feel bubbling in his chest. Slipping completely into the room, he closed the door behind him with a click and crouched beside Aye.
"You know," he chuckled, "I bet you'd be less scared if you had a big guy like me in here with you." He wedged his hands under Aye's shoulders and pushed her into a seated position before settling onto the carpet himself.

"Cool," Aye leaned forward to grab the controller and held it in her hands, grinning at the werewolf. "Do you know where that Haneul guy is?"

Elan pressed one hand to his chest, feigning an expression of pain. "That hurt, Aye," he teased in mock seriousness. "That hurt right here." He tapped the center of his chest to illustrate the point before taking the controller from her.

Aye's grin turned into a goofy smirk. "That hurt your sternum?" She poked Elan's chest tauntingly, reaching with the other hand to take back her controller.

"That hurt my soul," Elan corrected her, stretching the arm that held the controller far out of the girl's reach. He batted away the hand that was poking him and grabbed it by the wrist, pulling Aye's arm straight upwards. "No more game for you, Pixie," he teased. "It's my turn."

Aye scrunched her lips to one side in concentration, cursing her height. Elan's limbs were far too long-- there was no way she would be able to get the controller back if he didn't want her to have it.
Still, it was the principle of the thing.
"Oh, I don't think so little wolf." This was beginning to resemble a wrestling match of sorts. By the arm that Elan held, Aye was actually being lifted slightly off the ground. She continued pushing sideways, however, determined to take the controller back without having to ask for it-- that would mean defeat. It seemed that she pushed too hard, however. Her momentum toppled both of them over, and Aye fell atop the werewolf with a "Woah!"

Elan laughed, somehow managing to both keep the controller far out of Aye's reach and prevent his head from hitting the floor too hard.
"This is cheating!" he barked jovially, pinning the girl to him with his now-free left arm to keep her from moving forward. He would not be bested.

"And you're not?" Aye tried and failed to get out of Elan's grip-- being pinned to his chest both put her closer to the goal of stealing the controller and completely halted her progress in doing so. "No, this-- this, my friend, is cheating." She stretched forward in one last attempt to reach the controller, her feet kicking slightly with the effort, and then slumped, admitting defeat.
"You suck, Elan."

Zephyros looked in. He usually avoided the student lounge, but he'd heard the cursing and saw the lights. He grinned, "Am I interrupting something?"

Aye's head shot up at the new voice, the luminescence from her body taking on a pink tinge. "It's not what it looks like," she insisted, waving her free hand in front of her and shaking her head. "I'm just... ehm...well..." She searched for the words to clear herself of any implications the intruder might make, though her glow was becoming visibly more pink.
Finally, she managed to blurt, "He took my game controller! I'm trying to get it back, that's ALL."

Elan's mischievous grin became one of Cheshire proportions. He gave Aye a playful squeeze and said to the young man he recognized as Zephyros, "Pixie here is lying, of course. You've walked in on illicit extracurricular activities, my friend."
The werewolf stretched one of his long legs and used the toe of his shoe to turn of the game system, making the television screen become a blank span of blue. In the same movement he tossed the controller onto the couch. "See? There is no controller."

Zephyros laughed, grinning widely. "I see. Then there should be no problem with me taking it," he said, coming in and flopping onto the couch, picking up the controller. He toyed with it, stretching his legs out beside the two on the floor and crossing his ankles.

"None at all," Elan answered before Aye could. He looked down at her, chuckling. There really was no reason for her to the two of them to be in a tangle on the floor any longer-- Zephyros was in possession of the controller now, and something told him that Aye probably wasn't going to snatch it away from the mage.
Reluctantly, Elan released the girl and sat upright, crosslegged.

Zeph grinned, looking at the game. He was tempted to unpause the game and finish the battle; hopefully without the colorful language. He eyed the two of them, with a pretty good idea of what had been on Elan's mind if not on Aye's. Aye was certainly attractive; not what he was looking at right now but...
He pursed his lips and settled down, unpausing the game. Immediately he struggled to finish the monster before it finished him. Well... finished Aye.

Aye, who back rolled away from Elan as soon as she was released and had ended up settling on her knees nearer the side of the television, yelled and jumped visibly at the sudden relapse of ghost-battle noise; she fell over onto her side, one arm thrown over her face, shaking from nervous laughter.
"Gott im Himmel..." came her muffled voice before she rose to her elbows and twisted back around so she could rest her back against the couch. "You could've warned me, you know."

"No fun that way," Zeph said shortly, still trying to kill it. He tilted the controller as the character moved, as if that would help. Finally... FINALLY, he killed the beast and paused it again, lying across the armrest as if exhausted. "I understand the cursing now, I think."

Elan pointed a finger dramatically at Zeph, laughing. "Ah! So you've heard her as well! I was so sure I was the only one who knew what a sailor she was..."
He gave Aye a sidelong wink, then moved to plop down on the couch on the other side of Aye, grinning at Zeph. He nudged the glowing girl with his knee. "See, Pix? It's completely possible to play video games without such language. Shame on you."

Zeph grinned back, "I didn't have the breath. Besides, German always sounds like curses of some sort. Not like Greek."
He brushed his hair out of his face, sitting up again. He offered Aye the controller, the light catching his eyes and turning them from green to gold. He stretched out, a soft breeze from nowhere ruffling his hair and returning to its normal windblown state.

Aye smirked, leaning her head back onto the couch cushion as she was given the controller. This action occurred just in time to notice the change in the young man's eye color, and Aye's gaze lingered upon him for just a moment longer than necessary before she returned to her gameplay. In the game, upon being defeated the ghost had dropped something. It was a map.
"God--!" Aye hung her head for a moment in frustration. "Damn it all. Two hours wondering around in this batshit old mansion and now they give me the map..." She returned her gaze to the screen and left the courtyard in search of a new lead, while muttering, "Go die in a fire, game."

"But I just killed it," Zeph objected teasingly, looking at her. His eyes returned to green when he turned the back of his head to the light. "What does it need fire for?"
He glanced over at Elan, curious as to the relationship between these two. Elan certainly liked to tease her... and she certainly was worth teasing. Even if Zeph didn't find her as attractive as he might have. Maybe it was the piercings.
Or her gender... he added honestly. Elan was certainly looking more attractive right now... And as he recalled hearing, was as straight as an arrow. Ah well.

Elan's smile only broadened over the course of the next few minutes. Aye came to a point in the gameplay where, in order to continue deeper into the mansion, a delicate puzzle had to be unlocked. It involved pulling apart the knots in a thin rope of chains that held shut a door. To do this, the joysticks had to be utilized. A sharp movement or a turn in the wrong direction would either break the chain or worsen the knots-- either way, Aye would have to start over. That was why, in a sudden bout of joyous vindictiveness, Elan waited until the girl was more than halfway through the puzzle before jolting her with his knee.
The chain broke and the puzzle was restarted.

Aye grinned at Zephyros' objection. "The ghost is dead. The games lives on to aggravate."
With Elan's jolting, Aye clicked her piercings against her teeth and set to reworking the puzzle as she scooted forward, out of the werewolf's reach. "That was cheap, wolfchien." A few minutes later and the chain was unwound, the doors creaking open ominously. A crawlspace-- support beams charred and crumbling and ragged, rust-colored marks torn into the packed earthen floor.
At any other time, Aye would have thrown down the controller and turned off the game with a cry of FUCK this shit! and gone off to find entertainment that would not later give her cause to sleep with the lights on.
There were, however, two other people in the room. Feeling confident despite her knowledge that something bad was going to happen in the game, Aye continued on into the crawlspace, fighting the urge to crawl onto the couch with the two males.
As a means of distraction, Aye said to the newcomer, "So I never caught your name..."
