Laney, a Gamer?

Reno walked into the Turks' apartment building and saw a box on the couch in the living room.

"What's this?" Reno asked no one in particular.

He picked it up and opened it.

"A PS2? Cool, but who's is it and why don't they have any games?" Reno pondered. "Tseng is it to uptight to have one and besides, I don't see him with one." Reno tried to picture his leader playing God of War or Star Ocean but couldn't.

"Rude maybe, but I tried to get him to play Grand Theft Auto and he just said no. Then again, he could be an RPG type of person."

Rude then walked into the apartment.

"Hey Rude, is this yours?" Reno asked.

The silent Turk shook his head then headed to his room.

"If it's not Rude's then whose is it? Could it be a present for me?" Reno got excited at the thought.

At that moment Elena walked in carrying a box.

"Reno, what are you doing with my PS2?"

"YOUR PS2! But you're Laney, you yell at me and Rude for not doing work and YOU have a PS2. This is unbelieveable. I think the world must be ending." Reno joked.

"No, the world is not ending; I just like playing different video games to escape." Elena responded.

"Escape?"

"Yeah, you know how Tseng spends hours on the computer writing, That's his form of escapism. Mine is hacking at monsters or blowing up objects or driving cars at unsafe speeds in the form of a game."

"Tseng this and that." Reno grumbled then said, "What's your favorite video game of all time?"

"That would be easy, Final Fantasy VII. It has the most beautiful story with Bloud and Sifa and Rephiroth. And the best game-play of all the Final Fantasies. I think I lost it during the move though." Elena answered.

"Shit, it sounds awesome." Reno told her, then thought, "It also sounds familier, but I don't know anyone named Sifa, and Bloud and Rephiroth just sound like ridiculous names."

"Hey Reno, want to play Grand Theft Auto San Andrea?" Elena asked.

"Of course." Reno said.

2 hours later

"HOW THE HELL DID YOU BEAT ME!" Reno yelled.

"Simple, I just drive around, pick up the sluts and interrogate them." Elena said while smiling.

"Seriously?" Reno asked.

"Well, I also shoot the people I need to, and when my character is done interrogating them I shoot the sluts."

"Why?"

"So they don't rat that they told me info."

"Sooo that's why these random dudes try to kill me after interrogating the sluts."

"Why did you think?" Elena questioned.

"I just thought they were pissed at me like everything else in life." Reno said sadly.

"I'm not pissed at you and neither is Rude. I don't know about Tseng though." Elena said lightheartedly.

"Yeah, I think he's always pissed at me." Reno joked. "Hey Laney, want to try to beat me at halo."

"You're on." Elena said confidently.
