Master of War (Tag: Erin)

Gabriela shifted slightly in her chair to get into better fighting position as the match loaded up.  The sharp glow of the computer screen illuminated Gabriela's face as she grimly waited for the carnage to begin.  Her room was dark and it was probably far too late for he to be so wired but there was no way she could think about sleep right now.  It didn't matter that she had an 8am class, Gabriela was on a roll.  She'd been on her 'A' game and no opponent had stood in her way.  On this night, she was the queen of Team Deathmatch and she would see all comers bow to her will.  And her amazing virtual assault rifle skills.

"Alright you noob bastards."  Gabriela said through the headset before the voice chat lines were split between teams.  "Don't cry when I whip your asses and send them home to mommy."  It was a tepid threat given that it was the internet and all, and it almost sounded comical to anyone else listening that it had came from a very tiny sounding voice but Gabriela was cocky when she was in a groove.  It's not like this lobby had given her much of a challenge tonight anyway.  "Don't push past the buses in the center of the map."  She suggested to her largely silent teammates.  "That way-"  She groaned and shook her head.  Why didn't anyone else use a mic to communicate anymore?  The games went so much more smoothly when they did.  A quick check of the players showed there was only one other teammates of hers that had a headset.  She sighed.  "Spawn flip, guys."  She called out.  At least someone had to keep these knuckle heads aware of what was going on.

All of her classes were done, she didn't have any power training to deal with, and the last of her pointless homework had now been complete. She didn't even have to worry about an early morning class, but if she did it would not have mattered. It was time to game. She had already agreed to join in a match with one of her friends she had met online to play a shooter game with him. After gathering up a few drinks and snacks she was ready to go. Almost ready. "Glaceon, you are going to be my good luck charm for tonight’s gaming. Don't fail me." Erin said as she grabbed her Pokémon plush doll as she grabs her favorite small blanket and put it over her head. Making herself comfortable in her gaming chair as her computer came to life.

All systems going through their uploads as she got her controller ready. Even with computer games she tended to use her controller to play games that involved shooting. "Time to crush some noobs." Erin said as a smirk spread across her face as she folded up her legs in her chair and the game loaded up. She adjusted her headset for a moment and gave it a test while she waited in the lobby. A bitter grumble soon left Erin's throat when she saw the message that her friend could not play because his girlfriend wanted to have some time with him and gave him an automaton. "Pfft, no girl will ever get in the way of my gaming..." Erin said as her voice dropped off because she didn't really have 'girlfriend obtaining skills' at the moment. With a sigh she went to join up with a random group, grumbling even more when she got tossed into a match where someone had apparently just dropped out of, even if their side was clearly winning. Either they had a connection problem or they were tired of hearing someone’s voice.

Erin soon could not understand why a person would be tired of the voice that just spoke. It was a girl, well at least it sounded like a girl but with the things a person could do to their mic, one could not be fully sure. Either way, as of now Erin thought it was safe to assume it was in fact a girl that had just given the team advice. "By your score you clearly know what you are doing." Erin said into her mic as she was already moving to the spawn point, taking out one of the enemy players on the way. It was game time, with possibly slight flirting because there was a girl here and they were the only person with a mic at the moment.

Gabriela's eyes narrowed as she heard another female voice come through her headphones. It was a rare but very welcome sound. Usually when she played shooters, Gabriela was subject to the usual sexist and vulgar comments that were so commonplace through the anonymity of the internet. But two on the same team? And they were both kicking ass? Well, that was probably far too much for the nerdy boys that typically populated games like these to handle.

"You're not bad yourself." Gabriela responded as she took up residence in a virtual house near the enemy spawn point and waited. Yes. Gabriela camped when playing shooters. She camped and she camped well. Her K/D was proof of that. Sure, she could rush and push the action if necessary but there was something satisfying about simultaneously trolling an entire team of players by camping popular camp spots. "Oh, there's, like, three guys that try and camp in the yellow house." She warned as she netted a double kill before dying herself under a hail of digital bullets. "Dammit." She cursed before continuing her previous thought. "When they dig in it's a pain in the ass to get them out."

It was rare to hear another girl on the other end, but as time went on Erin did start to hear a lot more female voice over the headsets. Girls had always been playing video games, it just seemed like the population was increasing or those that had been closet gamers finally felt that it was alright to come out about gaming. Erin mentally snickered about that whole analogy she used because she was gay but that was beside the point. The point was that she was not really shocked that another girl was playing and more so shocked at her luck and that the girl was actually speaking back to her. Time to turn on the charm. Erin thought to herself, as if she had some level of charm skills but sadly her tactics were hit or miss when it came to even this mode of conversation but at least she was not afraid to speak her mind on this device.

"Thank you LittyBunOverloard...I can't take your name seriously at all." Erin replied back as she chuckled. She probably should have never paid attention to the name of the person that was talking because there was no way she could take that name seriously. She didn't want to say it was stereotypical for a girl to pick a name like that but this girl was at least not outright gay. She was probably bi or super straight, but that was just Erin's guess at the moment and she could not really be sure. Erin was focused on taking out any enemy she came across and was not staying still. In a match like this she found it pointless to stay in one spot if she was not going to be gaining any points towards it. Plus she would get bored just sitting there but everyone had their tactics they liked to use.

Erin was just in the area as the girl pointed out the three people camping out in the yellow house, and Erin could see them. The other girls name popped up saying that she was killed by someone on the other team. "Thanks for the heads up." Erin said as she tossed a grenade into the room and as soon as it went off she went in to finish off anyone that managed to survive the blast. "Your death provided a good distraction for me to finish them off." Erin said as she smirked, already turning on her other computer so she could run a search, finding herself curious about this girl and her hacker ways bubbling up inside of her. "We should probably become a party so the rest of the people in here don't have to hear of all our bragging rights in this match." Erin said as she quickly sent a request.

L33tHack sent you an invite; would pop up in the corner of the other girls screen. All Erin had to do was wait for the girl to accept the invite and her program would start to run on her other computer.

Gabriela's determined expression broke for the moment when the girl on the other end of the headset commented about her username. It was a common sentiment, but she always felt it looked good on the kill feed. There was something so satisfying about seeing 'X Player has been killed by KittyBunOverlord'. "Yeah, I get that a lot." She laughed as she re-spawned into the map and immediately started heading for her favorite camping spot, which happened to the most popular spot on the map. She got great joy in camping campers.

When the notification popped up on her screen Gabriela actually gave a little squeal of excitement. "Thank god!" She exclaimed. If she could clap her hands together without taking her hands off the controller, she would have. "I've been rolling with these disorganized heathens all night. Having a little company while I-" She cut off suddenly and blurted out a "Get wrecked!" Into the microphone as she happened upon a duo of opposing players hiding in the same house she'd nearly cleaned out before her last death. "Sorry." She said, getting the talk back on track. "Anyway, yeah, that's totally cool." She paused just long enough to accept the party invitation. "You ever play anything other than TDM?" She asked once that was complete and she was on her way to tearing up the map.

Erin could not help but make fun of the name. She had always been one to not really like gamer tags that were of the lame verity. At least what she saw as lame. Anything with a cute aspect to it or something with 'YOLO' or 'SWAG' in it, she thought was lame. Plain and simple. She figured that if you were going to play an online game that you had at least use a name that had some power behind it or meant something cool. She could care less if someone had numbers in the name or not, since the words were the most important. She especially had respect for those who pulled of using names with L33t speak; because that was pretty cool in her book.

"Well, so long as you are cool with that name." Erin responded back, still snickering a little when she saw the other girl land some kills because she really could not take that name seriously. Erin kept moving around, not camping at all, and just taking out anyone that she came across. Good thing she had friendly fire off because she had at least shot all of her teammates at least once. Just to be safe because sometimes their name showed up too late or if the map was out she was not taking any chances. Erin did jump slightly when the other girl just sort of yelled out in the middle of her sentence. Well she is certainly an enthused gamer. Erin thought to herself as she just let out a small chuckle.

"It's alright; you are one of those excited gamers, huh?" Erin asked, but it was not really a question and more of Erin pointing it out. She smiled either way as she took cover and through a flash out, hating that it messed with her screen as well, but if it didn't then it would be stupidly unfair. Her smile turned into a smirk as the other girl accepted her party invite, kicking in the program that started to read all sort of information on whatever system Kitty girl was playing on. "Uh...I play all sorts of things. MMOs, handhelds, conclude games, and well a few sim based games." Erin responded back as she spun around in her chair a moment as she thought what games she played. The match was coming near its end and they had pretty much one more round to go but victory was pretty much a given by this point.

"Pffff." Gabriela 'spoke' into her microphone. "Why wouldn't I like my gamer tag?" She scoffed in a mocking tone. After all, who wouldn't be totally satisfied with such an awesome user name as 'KittyBunOverlord'? "C'mon, son, think about it. This is the most hardcore of hardcore names." She explained. "Anyone can try and be cool with a name that contains 'balla' or 'swag' or something stupid, you know? But if you can rock 'KittyBunOverlord' and still walk around the video game world like you're a badass? Well, then, my friend. That is truly hardcore." Gabriela had to laugh at her own logic but she was careful to not take too much attention away from her screen, lest she slip up and lose her kill streak.

The girl then snickered as she crept out from her hiding spot on the game and started stalking an unwary enemy player. "I'm one of those excited everythings." Gabriela replied a-matter-of-factly. "But yes. I can be a little... spastic. Especially when I'm on my game." And with a deft movement of the controller, Gabriela brought down her target with a well-timed knife attack. "And what're you? One of those stoic people that never talk even as their destroying faces the entire game?" She giggled at her own explanation. She was on a roll today. "Or somewhere in between?"

When the list of different games the other girl played came through, Gabriela nodded, taking a moment to realize the gesture couldn't be seen. "Oh! Yeah. That's cool." She said. "I don't play MMO's very much anymore because of the time it takes to get through some of the end game content, you know? I've got college and all that so sometimes I only have enough time to get through a couple matches here and there." She pondered this a moment before adding. "Someone at my school did put out a notice for a gaming clan that I signed up for. Haven't gotten much info on what we'll be playing yet, though."

[Erin Hackett]

"Well it could have been one of those situations in where you have a younger sibling who you have to share your stuff with and that they whine and complained to the parents to have that gamer tag. Perhaps even a dare or a drunken mistake." Erin pointed out just a few of the top situations in where someone might not like their gamer tag. The person could have also just had a change in what they liked or wanted to be called by so wanted their name changed. Erin didn't know the girl on the other side of the screen but it did sound like she was happy with her gamer tag and that was all that mattered in the end. Since, if she honestly liked something, then it would not matter what people said about it, she could keep it and be unfazed by what people said.

Erin could not help but to chuckle at the other girl's logic about how it was really hardcore to be badass with that kind of name. Erin could not fully agree but she still found it interesting that was the girl's 'argument' on the matter. Bet she is cute. Erin thought to herself, because how the other girl talked made her think cute and possibly small. The other girl's laugh was pretty cute but Erin found almost every girl's laugh to be cute, almost. Erin made sure to duck down behind a bow, one that she was pretty sure someone's bullets would be able to shoot though but for now she was just looking for cover. She had spotted two of her other team mates get sniped not too far ahead of her and she was working out a plan. Man do I hate going up against snipers. Erin thought to herself, having a feeling she was going to die soon.

Erin snickered at Kitty; what she was going to call her now, pointed out how she was pretty much excited everything. Then the question was asked back that had Erin thinking for a moment, in which that time she got snipped in the head. "Damn, sniper." She muttered out, but it gave her time to think while she waited to respawn. "It depends. If someone is talking a big game or doubting my skills, then I talk it up and put them in their places. Or is someone is being completely stupid then I'll say something. In this case however, you know what you are doing and you are not saying how you are better than me so normally I would not say anything. I do a lot of mental celebration." Erin tried to explain, basically getting at she didn’t really say or do much unless other players brought it out and when she was doing good, and it was more internal screaming then having a party over the headset.

Erin's mind pretty much checked out what the girl was saying, as she looked at the program she had running. Getting killed yet again in the process due to being distracted, but she didn't care too much at the moment. The information her program had collected was about to cause her to ask a question but 'Kitty's' question basically confirmed what she was going to ask. "Do you go to Bellefonte Academy?" Erin then asked, thankful that only the two of them could hear what they were talking about because they were in the same party. She didn't really like to talk about anything mutant related in any sort of public setting.
