Duel by the Lake!

[From here...]

Windows 95 waits for her opponent, her face stony. She seems unaffected by the cold night air.

"Nope, he was a turtle. He's one of the oldest security members."

[identity profile] 95-tan.livejournal.com 2005-12-20 05:15 am (UTC)(link)
"So desu ne? How old is he?"

[identity profile] timsbooks.livejournal.com 2005-12-21 12:58 am (UTC)(link)
'Oh, younger then me. I mean, he's been on it the longest."

[identity profile] 95-tan.livejournal.com 2005-12-21 12:59 am (UTC)(link)
"Ah, I see..." She nods. "Was it because he was a turtle?"

[identity profile] timsbooks.livejournal.com 2005-12-21 01:39 am (UTC)(link)
"Huh?"

Tim just got himself confused.

[identity profile] 95-tan.livejournal.com 2005-12-21 02:09 am (UTC)(link)
"His problem with magic," she specifies, "Was it because he was not human?"

[identity profile] timsbooks.livejournal.com 2005-12-21 02:21 am (UTC)(link)
"Oh!"

Tim thinks about this, then shakes his head.

"Naw, naw, it's cause his reality was a little twisted."

[identity profile] 95-tan.livejournal.com 2005-12-21 02:22 am (UTC)(link)
She tilts her head. "Twisted? Did somebody bend it?"

[identity profile] timsbooks.livejournal.com 2005-12-21 02:37 am (UTC)(link)
"Er..."

Tim stares blankly at her.

"Possibly? It's not a normal style of universe."

[identity profile] 95-tan.livejournal.com 2005-12-21 02:39 am (UTC)(link)
She frowns, thinking on all those other people who only know her kind as boxes. "Did he have the same problem I do?"

[identity profile] timsbooks.livejournal.com 2005-12-21 02:45 am (UTC)(link)
"Yes. I tried to fix his paint job, and it screwed up. then someone else tried to fix my fix, and he turned human."

[identity profile] 95-tan.livejournal.com 2005-12-21 02:46 am (UTC)(link)
...

"Paint job?" She blinks.

[identity profile] timsbooks.livejournal.com 2005-12-21 02:49 am (UTC)(link)
"Some one had turned him pink."

[identity profile] 95-tan.livejournal.com 2005-12-21 02:51 am (UTC)(link)
Blink.

Blink.

"Why would somebody do that?"

[identity profile] 95-tan.livejournal.com 2005-12-21 03:13 am (UTC)(link)
"How cruel!" she exclaims, "I hope the perpetrator was brought to justice!"

[identity profile] timsbooks.livejournal.com 2005-12-21 03:21 am (UTC)(link)
Tim stares at her for a moment.

"Actually, it was really funny."

[identity profile] 95-tan.livejournal.com 2005-12-21 03:22 am (UTC)(link)
Ellipsis. Blink.

"To him?"

[identity profile] timsbooks.livejournal.com 2005-12-21 03:46 am (UTC)(link)
"After a while, yeh.."

Tim tries to keep a straight face.

[identity profile] 95-tan.livejournal.com 2005-12-21 03:47 am (UTC)(link)
Ellipsis the second.

"...but it could only be fixed with magic?"

[identity profile] timsbooks.livejournal.com 2005-12-21 03:51 am (UTC)(link)
"Well, yes, magic caused it after all."

Tim is starting to wonder about 95.

[identity profile] 95-tan.livejournal.com 2005-12-21 03:54 am (UTC)(link)
She blinks and thinks this over. "Didn't he have trouble when the spell was first cast to change his color, then?"

95 has a very different sense of humor. She's Japanese, after all...

[identity profile] timsbooks.livejournal.com 2005-12-21 04:41 am (UTC)(link)
He scratches his head.

"Damn if I remember. That was almost ten years ago, my time."

[identity profile] 95-tan.livejournal.com 2005-12-21 04:43 am (UTC)(link)
She nods. "Perhaps I should speak with him about it. He may remember it better, after all..."

[identity profile] timsbooks.livejournal.com 2005-12-21 05:03 am (UTC)(link)
"Maybe."

Tim glances up.

"Scue me, I see someone I need to have a chat with."

And he strides off, with purpose.
