Probably not. [ He just shrugs, uncaring of that tongue she stuck out at him. Whatever, kid. Haha! ]

Speaking of things you can never win, you made it sound like you're pretty good at things like this. [ Yep, he's back to his tablet. More specifically, he's holding it up to her in offer. ] Shoot.

[ He figures he can figure out the controls this way. PHSes past calls and mails? Haven't been his forte. Though he's gotten progressively better since his stay. ]

[spoileralert]

[ She giggles, and accepts the tablet graciously. ]

It just takes practice.

[ It's been a while since she's played, though, and she dies a few times before beating the first level. ]

[heroproceeding]

[ Zack watches her keenly as she plays the game. It's a little bit embarrassing to see how quickly she picks up on the controls and gets into things- but not enough to deter him by far from learning things this way.

When she finally beats the first level, he gives an avid whoop. ] Oh yeah! Nice! You're pretty good at this.

[spoileralert]

[ The whoop makes her laugh. ]

I used to have this on my cell phone, I'd play during class. Don't tell my teachers.

[heroproceeding]

Your secret's safe with me. [ He gives her a wink in emphasis. Granted, the likelihood of that even being a possibility is slim to none, but it's the thought that counts! And damn if they could all use some humor in this awful place.

He hums after a moment, eyeballing it now a bit restlessly. HE WANTS TO SHOW HER WHAT HE'S MADE OF NOW. TOTALLY WATCH HIM KICK ITS ASS. ] So, you had tablets like this back in your world then?

[spoileralert]

[ Yeah, like she's ever going to be able to go back to school... Is she even legally alive anymore? Fuck if she knows. ]

Yeah, almost everybody had one. Or the smaller version, a cell phone. It's basically the same thing these days. Here.

[ She hands him back the tablet, in case he wants to try after she bombs level two. ]

[heroproceeding]

[ He'll take it gratefully. Perhaps even excitedly. Hey, he really wants to give it another go! Kick ass, take names!

Although just as he's about to start, he looks up at her curiously. ] Almost everyone, huh? Sounds like it would be pretty convenient to have around. We only had PHSes. [ Give him a minute as he reaches into his back pocket... and pulls out his long since dead phone. ] Nothing fancy, but you know. It did its job. Calls, mails, that kind of thing.

[spoileralert]

[ She blinks at it, then laughs. ]

It's a flip phone! We used to have those, they're like, from the 90s. That's fifteen years ago.

[heroproceeding]

Yeah, well- you know. Still works. [ He's trying not to sound too put off by that laughter. Seriously, it still works, okay!! The grimace doesn't find him for long anyway. No, something of nostalgia finds him instead for a brief moment before he pockets it again. ]

Anyway, let's see if I can beat you at your own game! [ And here he goes, kicking up the game and having at as best as he can!! ] By the way, I thought you were with Al last time I saw you. [ They no longer travel buddies or something? ]

[spoileralert]

[ It's a blast from the past, Zack! Anyway she settles down to watch him play. ]

Yeah, I was. I wanted to stay with Angel, make sure she was okay after. You know.

GOD SORRY. I lost my original tag I was writing and got mad. |D;;;

[heroproceeding]

[ At first, he seems pretty caught up in the game. Keywords: at first. It's hard to ignore the way he easily slips and makes a dumb mistake. Or three. And dies super fast. Whoops.

He hums faintly, nodding. ] I heard. [ He's been trying to keep his distance with Jack for... reasons, but. ] She seems to be doing okay at least. [ Still chipper as ever. ]

/pets gently

[spoileralert]

[ At least she doesn't laugh at him this time. ]

Yeah, she's... [ in denial ] resilient.

[heroproceeding]

[ Good!! She better not be laughing!

Still, he.. pauses at that. Resilient's an understatement. Something in his expression darkens for a moment, even as he softly agrees. ]

Sounds it. [ And... totally just died again. He hands off the game back to her. Then takes a moment to chew on his lip a bit, thoughtfully. ] Hey... Come to think of it though, weren't you traveling with Al?

[ Did they get separated? ]

[spoileralert]

[ She restrains a snicker when he dies again, and gracefully takes over. ]

Yeah. I decided to stick with Angel for a while, make sure she was okay.

[ Valiantly protect her from Jack, that is. ]

[heroproceeding]

Fair enough. [ If you knew he was punning you, would you sack him, Steph? Yes/No?

He shrugs a just a bit though, watching her as she starts up the game again. ] I'd just be careful. [ Seriously, he knows of many not so great things about Jack. 'Be careful' is an understatement. 'Don't get killed' is more accurate. ]

[spoileralert]

[ She would just pun harder. It is her life's work, after all. ]

'Careful', yeah, that's a thing I can do.

[ BUT WILL SHE? Probably not. ]
