Sleep

Part 7

'Terroriser has joined the game'

Vanoss had mentioned that a few people would probably be asleep or busy, but he didn't doubt that they'd want to see what was up later on.

Moo and Vanoss had left to go to bed, but the rest were still with you.

Apparently, Vanoss had been hosting the game, but when he left it hadn't affected anything. Maybe I took over host? Is that possible?

At that, I mentally rolled my eyes at myself. I don't think possible and impossible applies here any more.

We were currently sitting out front of a food shop, with me eating. This is stupid, I still need to eat and everything.

Oh no.

Does this mean I'm still gonna need the toilet? I really don't want to pee in their game. What if it's like when you pee in a dream and pee in real life?

I don't want that.

A car pulled up beside me, distracting me from my thoughts.

Climbing from the car, one gaming terroriser.

"Hi, Brian. I hope you don't mind that you have to type instead of using Skype..." I chuckled at the rhyme, smiling at the character frozen in front of me.

"That's so cool! How is that real?" He said, moving his character towards me.

"Good question. Wish I knew so I could get out of here" I shrugged, standing up. Waving to the sky, a little above and diagonal of his characters head, I added. "I'm Luna, by the way. It's nice to kinda meet you" then stepped forward, and shook the mans hand.

"I just felt that"

Laughing, I stepped back.

"Weird, right?!" Wildcat's character ran to my side, I toyed with my fingers as I waited, cracking the joints.

"That's impossible" Brian said, clearly in disbelief. I didn't blame him.

As I opened my mouth to reply, another buzzing came from my wrist.

'MiniLadd has joined the game'

Lifting my arm to show the others, despite the fact that it would have showed on screen, I frowned.

"Isn't it like early as fuck where he is? I don't know any timezones" I trailed off, dropping my arm.

"What's that?" My question was ignored, but it didn't bother me. Looking down to my arm, I shrugged.

"It's a fashion statement"

There was a moment of silence, and I smiled to myself.

"It's a watch thing I had when I woke up. It's got the menu and everything. I'm using it to hear what you type, too"

I feel like if I could see him, he'd be nodding.

"That's kinda coo-" the end of the word was masked by a loud crunching sound beside us.

Looking across, I noted that the car Terroriser had arrived in, now had a large dent in the rear end, with another car reversing from it.

Laughing loudly, I watched as Mini drive up the sidewalk, and parked directly beside us.

"Mini! What the fuck!" Must have been Brian's car then, not a random one he stole. Oh well.

Turning to the suited man climbing from the car, I smiled.

"Hey, I'm Luna" I said.

Typing in chat, droid said a farewell, and also updated Mini on what was going on.

"Gotta go now guys, best of luck luna. Craig, if you want to talk, type it. Bya"

"Bye Arlan!" I shouted, smiling at his pink shirted character.

'SilentDroidd has left the game'

Looking back to Mini, I awkwardly rubbed my chin.

"So, uh, hi. How're you?"

There were a few beats of silence, before his reply came through.

"Is this a prank? Vanoss isn't even here but I connected to his game. Is that you Evan?"

Glancing over to Wildcat, I frowned. Cmon, help me out here man.

"No prank dude, honest. Don't know what the fuck is up" he said, thankfully coming to my aid.

"As if, you can't just teleport into games"

Rubbing my arm awkwardly, I stepped back to lean on Brian's shoulder.

"Hey, no offence, but please don't. It's really disconcerting" he said, and I sidestepped away from him, putting my hands in my pockets instead.

"Sorry..." I trailed, feeling out of place and dumb.

"It's all good"

"What's disconcerting?" Asked Craig, clearly having no clue what we were talking about.

Biting my lip, I ignored him for a second, turning instead to Tyler.

"Do you need to go to sleep? You're good to go, you know."

"I'm good to stay for a while" he replied, and I smiled.

"Ok cool"

Turning back to MiniLadd, I walked towards him.

"Cool if I touch you?" I asked first, not wanting to weird him out too much. It hadn't bothered me so much with everyone else, but he clearly didn't believe it in the slightest.

"What"

"Can I touch your character?" I asked again, trying not to snicker at the inappropriate interpretation of the sentence.

"Ok?"

Reaching my hands out, I grabbed his shoulders, and squeezed.

"Um"

Waiting, I looked across at the other two. But there was no other message that came through.

"Mini?" Asked Wildcat, checking if he was still there. But from the lack of reply, it didn't seem like he was.

"Craig" I poked his cheek. "You there?"

Fearing he might freak out or disconnect, I turned to walk away. I didn't want him punching me like Delirious had.

"I actually felt that. This is some supernatural shit" he finally said, as I stopped next to Wildcat.

Blowing out a deep breath, I nodded.

"It's certainly not normal"

(920 words)

I hate the term 'filler', because like, anything written is important to the story I feel. But none the less, nothing particularly exciting happened on this, just bringing in a few more of the guys (: only a few others will join, but not many. Like, Lui probably.
