Work Before Play

Prop Hunt Queen

It's now been two weeks after finals week. All grades came in and I survived with a 3.8 gpa. And now it was time for Prop Hunt.

Mark set up an extra computer next to his and a camera to film me. Wade was busy on vacation with Molly so it was time for me to step in.

Mark and I have been playing prop hunt since he had brought up the idea to me. Once I got the controls down, it was honestly a lot of fun and I was excited for it.

We got Bob and Jack on Skype to begin the video.

"Hello everybody, my name is Markiplier! And I am with Bob, Jack, and our very special guest, Lydia!" Mark said enthusiastically. 

"Your tag is LydiaPydia?" Sean asked.

"Well, Sean- I mean, Jack, sorry. Yours is BooperDooper, so shut up." I fumbled slightly at a comeback. Sean laughed at me softly, "Lydia it's fine, just call me Jack when we record." 

"Whatever." I messed with my headset and began to chew on the inside of my lip from nerves. I did not want to screw this up.

"Since when do you play games, Lydia?" Bob asked.

"Yeah, Mark always said you were more of a Stiff not having fun and all." Sean joked.

"Okay guys, okay. Calm down, jeez. Mark asked if I wanted to try and I thought it'd be fun!" I exclaimed.

"Yeah and this is the only way I could ever shoot her for fun." Mark interjected.

"Hey!" I shouted shocked. "Just wait til I light up your ass, Honey." I said sarcastically. 
The game began and Sean was on my team. "Okay, Jack lets beat these losers." Sean and I chose different props.

"I didn't know you had it in ya, Lydia!" Jack said shocked of my competitiveness.

"I hate losing. Everything has to be perfect and in order. Sounds about like me!" I said back laughing.

"No joke. You should see our place because of her. It's spotless." Mark said.

I watched the screen as someone ran past me. I giggled how they completely missed me. I was a tiny bottle, so I could see why. The person stopped once they heard a giggle.

"Who was that?" Mark said paranoid. His character switched back and forth, gun raised. "Lydia.... Where are you!"

When Mark looked away, I jumped up and began to laugh more because he couldn't see me. I was getting too cocky and he turned quicker than I expected and saw me. "Ah ha! Jumping little bottle, I gotcha!" Mark exclaimed.

I ran around a corner and changed props to a newspaper. Mark turned the corner, "How could I lose you?!? Fuck!" He yelled.

From my headset I heard Jack scream, "Dammit!" And saw on the screen where Bob got him.

"What were you, Jack?" I asked.

"A garbage can. And by the way, turn a small bit to your left, Lydia. Otherwise you're perfect." Jack said spectating me.

I turned and put the lock back on, waiting for someone to come to my room again. Mark was going ballistic shooting random props.

"40 seconds left guys." I said haunting and mocking them. "Are you gunna let the new girl beat yall? A girl who doesn't play games?" I said taunting them.

"Fine, whatever!" Mark threw a grenade and I watched his character fall over dead. "Welp, I'm by myself." Bob said annoyed that he was alone.

"Okay, Bob. My hint is that I am in the same room as Mark's body." I said grinning at the camera.
