《That Small Library by Dover Street》13. Silence
Advertisement
The next time she came to visit, he was steadfastly ignoring her. With eyes locked onto the computer screen and clicking away on a mouse, he more or less looked like the perfect office drone.
It didn't really stop him from glancing towards her when she entered, nor the faint embarrassment that shone on his cheeks right after. She grins, sliding onto a stool while staring at him with mischief dancing across her eyes.
A few seconds pass, only to be broken a few seconds later as she spoke.
"You know," she pipes up in a sing-song voice, "I've still got that video saved up in my phone."
He flinches, but nonetheless made to ignore her, clacking on the keyboard and moving their mouse around. With a hum, she leans over the counter to see what had taken up so much of his attention... only to snort at what she saw.
"Didn't know that you liked to draw squiggly lines on Paint." She pipes up, sighing a second later at his lack of a reaction before shaking her head. "... Well, you're no fun."
"If you deleted that video, then sure. Why not." Came the sullen reply, his eyes still locked onto... whatever he was drawing on the computer. "Given you though, I doubt it."
She hums, letting out a shrug. "Got a spare cup of coffee."
He scoffed. "Delete that damn video first, then we'll talk."
"No."
"Then discussion's over." He huffs, turning back towards the screen. "That's all."

The Blood Core
Amara has been having a rough couple of weeks. Unwittingly committing tax fraud can do that to a person. Now forced to "enjoy" house arrest until her court date, she ends up playing a Virtual Reality Dive Game that she hasn't touched in over three years. Logging in was easy enough, she just had to sit down in her Dive Chair. The complications came after that when her character seemingly broke the game. Now she is a dungeon core of all things! With no way to contact other players or the Game Masters, she has to find a way to get out of the game in time for her court date. She'd rather not go to prison for a long time. Maxwell had decided that he had just wasted the last five months of his life on a path that would never work for him in life. Deciding to just give up on the finals, he loads up the new game he just bought for the exams. He didn't expect to end up trapped inside like all the shows he'd seen in his youth. It didn't help that his character was basically on Hardcore mode being a Dark Elf Village Leader in the middle of a human supremacy kingdom that went in every direction for hundreds of leagues. Without knowing how dying might affect him, he steels himself to grow his village into the new power in the area. Of course, that's easier said than done when a blood-thirsty dungeon appears to be on a warpath with everything in the area.
