And as soon as Jewel saw that, she leaned forward across Jesse's body and over his face to block him yet again--and hopped Shriek over to the edge to pound Major Hawk off the stage.

"TAKE THAT!"

Daglobster · « **Reply #101 on:** September 18, 2015, 11:15:14 am »

"I fuckin' knew it!" Jesse barked, even as Shriek spiked Major Hawk into the abyss below. Scratch one life!

While he waited to respawn, Jesse tossed his head back against the couch's armrest and away from Jewel, putting up his arms to prop her chest up and away from him with his elbows.

Jesse'd played it defensively until now, so this time around, he went on the attack. Shriek was quick, but she was dainty, and Jesse intended to capitalize.

"Ow! Watch the boobs, man!" Jewel laughed, sitting up straighter and rubbing at her chest after taking elbows to some not fun places. Of course, that was also just enough of a distraction for Major Hawk to go to town on Shriek--and indeed, Shriek was fast, but not particularly strong. Weaker hits, even though she could do them in quicker succession to make up for it, but man, once Shriek got caught in a beat-down, it was sometimes pretty hard to pull her out of it!

"Aw, man, no fair!" Jewel said, and bounced in place a little in frustration as she tried to pull Shriek out. Which...couldn't have felt too good on Jesse's crotch. Oops.

Or maybe it wasn't so unintentional after all.

She got hit up, and quickly backflipped out of the way and back onto the stage before she could topple off it, then fired off more grenades at Major Hawk's back and moved in for some of those annoying low kicks.

"I was aimin' for the space below 'em," Jesse said plainly, his upbringing on Cancer making him fortunately nonchalant about the intimate conditions in which they found themselves playing video games.

He shifted his legs up a bit so that Jewel wasn't bouncing up and down directly onto him, and shifted the brunt of the impact to his thighs. Jesse raised an eyebrow, but shrugged it off. It's not like the contact wasn't unwelcome, or anything...

Shriek came in with those predictable low kicks, and once more, Major Hawk jumped up and countered with a downwards Hawk Kick. This time, though, when Shriek bounced off the ground from the impact, Jesse sent Major Hawk up into the air to spike her downwards towards the ground with his Dashing Hawk Punch

A few beeps from Turnpike, and Jesse glanced over to see a slowly growing bunch of freshly prepared s'mores. He'd only had one, so the munchies were still very real.

"Hey, uh... can we pause for a bit?" he asked, and pointed at the s'mores.

Rhi-Rhi · « **Reply #104 on:** September 18, 2015, 12:06:14 pm »

Jewel had never smashed a pause button so fast. "Oh, duh! S'mores! Of course we can pause!" she said, and slid off of him and back onto her side of the loveseat, shoving Jesse's legs out of the way to give herself some space.

Intimate playing conditions or not, Jewel was high enough not to care. Besides, it wasn't like she would have cared anyway. She and her friends got up to the same sorts of goofy shenanigans and it didn't mean anything. Of course, that was different--they were her friends, people she'd known forever, and most of them were girls. You know, people she was fine flashing when she got a cute new bra she wanted to show off, or groping as a joke, or cracking lewd jokes with. A lot of it was for the shock value; Edanith was a more conservative place, so of course rebellious teens liked to act out all the more.

...So maybe she would have taken more care if she wasn't high. She did get more touchy-feelie then, with lower inhibitions, and right then, Jesse was her new weed-induced BFF.

She snatched up a s'more, nice and cooled off but still just warm enough, and bit into it with gusto. "Soooo good."

Daglobster · « **Reply #105 on:** September 18, 2015, 12:11:42 pm »

Jesse snapped her a glare when she pushed his legs out of the way, but his face quickly returned to that smile he usually did when he wanted to let somebody know he was kidding around.

He took up a s'more and happily bit down onto the gooey delicacy, careful not to get any chocolate on his fingers. Because after the s'more, came, well...

Jesse wiped his fingers off on his jeans and adjusted his vest, stretching his bare arms as he straightened up. His arms, muscular and tattooed, caught the light rather nicely.

He reached over to the bong, and took a hit from it, cocking his head back and breathing out the smoke through his mouth.

"Daaa-yuum"

He coughed a bit, and held it out to Jewel.

Rhi-Rhi · « **Reply #106 on:** September 18, 2015, 12:32:24 pm »

"You trying to knock me out?" Jewel asked as Jesse held the bong out to her, but she took it nonetheless. "This stuff's strong! It's gonna be nap time soon at this rate..."

But even as she said it, she took a hit, coughed out a little smoke as it dried out her throat, and then snatched up another s'more.

Daglobster · « **Reply #107 on:** September 18, 2015, 12:40:28 pm »

Jesse shook his head, and finished off his first s'more.

"Don't worry, I don't intend to finish the whole bowl off. Just keeping us topped up."

He picked his controller back up, and looked to Jewel. He grinned, and slouched back in the loveseat again.

"Ready when you are."

Rhi-Rhi · « **Reply #108 on:** September 18, 2015, 12:50:09 pm »

Folding her legs beneath her on the loveseat, Jewel didn't give Jesse any warning before she unpaused and launched Shriek at Major Hawk, pulling off another fierce combo and hoping to take advantage! Of course, one of the side effects of being so relaxed and lacking care was that...well...she was becoming rather careless in her game. At this point, it wasn't about winning; she just thought this whole thing was funny. If she'd smoked less, she could have been more focused and played a good game, but now she was just goofing off.

"THINK FAST!"

Daglobster · « **Reply #109 on:** September 18, 2015, 12:58:11 pm »

Maybe if Jewel'd been less high, her little surprise attack would've worked. Jesse knew she liked to play dirty, and frankly, he didn't care. He liked to play dirty too! His own deliriousness contributed to the goofing, though, and before long, they weren't fighting, so much as just goofing off in each other's general direction.

"Oh yeah? How about this!"

Major Hawk jumped at Shriek to try and land the Hawk Punch, a devastating maneuver!

Rhi-Rhi · « **Reply #110 on:** September 18, 2015, 01:04:48 pm »

"I don't think so!" Jewel laughed, flipping out of the way and slamming into Major Hawk while he was still executing his maneuver--

Which, well, had the unfortunate effect that she'd been just a tad too overzealous and hadn't realized how close to the edge they both were. As a result, they both went careening off into the abyss.

"...Oops."

Daglobster · « **Reply #111 on:** September 18, 2015, 01:17:41 pm »

Jesse only sat and stared as both Major Hawk and Shriek fell to their deaths in the abyss, and just like that, it was over.

DRAW!

Jesse almost couldn't believe it, but the fight had ended in a damn draw! He looked over to Jewel, dumbstruck, and he started to laugh his ass off.

"Oh... oh my gods!" he gasped in between laughs. He dropped the controller and sat all the way back in the loveseat.

"That was killer..."

He looked over to her, and smiled.

"Zero gravity?"

Rhi-Rhi · « **Reply #112 on:** September 18, 2015, 01:27:31 pm »

Jesse wasn't the only one cracking up. Jewel was doubled over with laughter, her sides in stitches and controller on the floor. Tears sprang into her eyes, the whole damned thing far funnier than it would normally be, and she wiped them away and sucked in deep breaths to get a hold of herself before her lungs popped.

"Fuck yeah! That's how I roll! I never go down without taking my opponent down with me!" she said, still wheezing, before she grabbed another s'more and took a bite.

And then nearly choked.

OH RIGHT, ZERO GRAVITY!

"Uh, yes? All the yes? All of it," she said, staring at Jesse like he'd asked the most obvious question ever.

Daglobster · « **Reply #113 on:** September 18, 2015, 01:37:44 pm »

"Alright, alright. Uh..."

Jesse looked around at all the loose objects lying around, and frowned.

"Okay, help me put the controllers and s'mores somewhere we won't bump into 'em. I'll get the controllers. " he said, and he stumbled up to his feet. He picked up the controllers, and went to put them into a drawer. He motioned for her to handle the s'mores.

Once they were all tidied up, Jesse picked the bong back up, and took one last hit before the real fun began. He held it out to Jewel, and waited.

Rhi-Rhi · « **Reply #114 on:** September 18, 2015, 01:47:40 pm »

Jewel sprang to Jesse's aid, tidying up the s'mores (and by tidying up, that involved putting some of them away into her stomach). And when all that was taken care of, and Jesse had secured the controllers, she took the offered bong and took a hit.

Because she was so ready for this, as evident in the way she stared expectantly at Jesse. "So? Do the thing!"

Daglobster · « **Reply #115 on:** September 18, 2015, 02:05:34 pm »

"Okay," Jesse said, and put the bong out of the way. He put it in a drawer as well, and stood in front of Jewel.

"Here we go!"

He pulled up a holographic screen from a rectangular device he had clipped to his belt. It was a diagram of the ship, complete with a list of systems, technical readouts, and notifications. Jesse ticked off a few buttons, and with a stroke of finality, he turned the gravity off.

They didn't start floating up into the air. In fact, everything remained perfectly still! Despite all that, though, the weight of gravity was immediately lifted from Jewel's shoulders, and Jesse smiled. He put his arm out, and gently nudged her away from him.

Rhi-Rhi · « **Reply #116 on:** September 18, 2015, 02:22:33 pm »

Jewel waited anxiously, practically fidgeting with excitement and anticipation, and watched in fascination as he fiddled with his holographic control panel. That was too awesome! Technology, man! And here she was, in a spaceship, about to float around and shit!

And then...

Huh.

Well, something happened. Jewel could feel the subtle shift, the sudden lightness, but she wasn't floating or anything. She blinked, was about to ask Jesse if he'd done it yet, and then he nudged her back.

Unprepared for the nudge, she stumbled back--

No. Not stumbled back.

She glided back. Glided over the floor, her blue hair lifting up around her face like she was underwater, and she gasped and threw her arms out, did a little hop to try to stop--and wound up floating up.

"Holy SHIT!" she gasped, awe in her voice, though she felt like she was flailing rather ungracefully, not at all used to this feeling of weightlessness, of there being no up or down, and she wasn't quite sure how to maneuver in it! So instead, she just floated, until she reached the ceiling and put her hands up to keep her from bumping it--which sent her back down. "Whoa! How...what...how do you...?!"

Daglobster · « **Reply #117 on:** September 18, 2015, 02:31:48 pm »

When she sent herself back down, Jesse was there to catch her. Or rather, stop her momentum. His feet were still flat on the ground, and he smiled at her.

"Born and raised a spacer. Zero g's like second nature to me," he said, and he let her go again.

He pushed up with the balls of his feet, and he gently rose up. Because there was still oxygen, however, there was air resistance, so his momentum cut out about halfway up, leaving him floating in mid-air.

"There's still air in here, so you gotta factor in air resistance. Try and push off into me! I'll catch you."

Rhi-Rhi · « **Reply #118 on:** September 18, 2015, 02:43:14 pm »

"Alright, so like..."

Jewel planted her feet flat on the ground, then jumped up--with perhaps a lot more force than necessary, having been overcompensating for air pressure. She went sailing up at Jesse faster than she expected, on a trajectory to smack right into him.

Daglobster · « **Reply #119 on:** September 18, 2015, 02:49:00 pm »

"Woah!"

Jesse caught her and they tangled up with one another. Propelled upwards, Jesse bumped his back against the ceiling, but he was having so much fun, he didn't care.

And so they laid together against the ceiling, having fallen still once again.

"Yo... if you look up, you can see the floor!"
