"The Dark Messenger" - Nobou Uematsu

Just like it says!

So I walk into school early this morning, hoping to see my counselor about college info and fin. aid, and she's not there yet. The only person of any note is a kid in the corner playing a GBA SP. I'm watching from across the room, bored out of my head and sweaty. THE OFFICE IS LOCATED ABOVE THE BOILER ROOM. It's hotter than Satan's flaming asshole after his first penetration. So I whip off my sweat shirt, and that ain't enough.

So I grab my crap and go over to sit by this kid. Maybe not be bored, and it's by a little fan. He glances at me and goes back to playing. The sounds are undeniably Berry Blender in Pokemon. You know the sound. *chink* *chink* *chinkCHINK!* *whirrrrr* Then a while later, the PC sound. *dooodlydoodly* So I'm like ":> Dude, whatcha playin" And he just. GLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARES. I persist, because I was not full of monday morning angst.

"Sounds like Pokemon! :> What version?" "....." Just glares more and hunkers down in the chair. I know that response, I say to myself. Exactly what I used to do when I thought someone was being a jerk to me by pretending to give a fuck and then laugh. So to counteract that, "Oh, sorry if I sound like an ass. I mean I play too, and I just wanted to get tips n' stuff." *GLAREMUTHAFUCKAGLAAAAAARE* " :< "

So I just kind of quit for a while, and this other kid comes in, very talkative, whips out his SP and they start yammering about pokemon together. ... Of course in SECRET. "So I uh.... *shifty glance* ...Found that rare one. The one that's only on a couple tiles in the - " "FEEBAS, RIGHT??!!? " "....Go AWAY."

Later before I left I asked if they'd be back tomorrow, and if so, could either of them trade me a Mawile? :> I suck, I want both Sableye and Mawile. Killed my file with a traded Mawile some time ago on accident.
The answer was a group glare.

I used to think all gamers were good people. Maybe a little freakish, maybe even drooly scary fanboy/girl/ish otaku some times, but NEVER big jerks.

It was just a huge suprise. Dunno quite what to make of it, that's all.
