warnings video game trauma.
[ It's a new thing every day, Isaac finds as he walks past the television. Gaming systems have come along way (at least what he's seen), but ultimately, it's all the same. He glances around the apartment briefly, a slight prickle of paranoia riding the rise of his spine. These definitely weren't there before, but then again--the television didn't plug in, the goddamn house ran off of embarrassment, and well. Just well. Leaning down, Isaac grabs the controller and sees the pair of cases that are laid out next to it on the low coffee table.
Haha. No.
You can't be. This is not serious. This isn't even real life right now.
Isaac picks up the top one and hums, popping in the disk. Oh hey. There's the remote (where the fuck were you when we needed you the most, asshole?) Slumping down on the couch with the controller in both hands, he passes through the introduction without much of a qualm aside from the fact that he ends up tilting his head a bit. Oh hey, Jack--Great things. Definitely great things. Except then the plane's going down and Isaac is cocked forward in his seat, clearly concerned that they just went down in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.
The game is pretty interesting (not every day you get to play as someone you know).
"Now, would you kindly find a crowbar or something?" the game says.
There are those words. ]

You're okay now. I've got you.

Breathe out.
And there's suddenly a sense of relief, looking at Isaac, hearing him say that, feeling the contact.
Breathe in.
Breathe out.
He's okay now. Isaac's got him.
And Isaac wouldn't lie.]

Let's find something else to do, alright? I'll finish later.

Yeah.
Something else.
Anything else.]
