Hmm... why are we here again? [Hitomi, Alex and Rita]

It was a tough race, that's for sure... she was ignoring everything, her smile was genuine, she truly was having fun... though Alex was most definitely first throughout the whole race, Rita payed almost no attention to Hotaka's words, instead deciding to go for second place, at least... next game, she'd be able to shine forth for sure... "Hmph..." A cocky smile on her face, Rita looked determined, Waluigi, controlled by her, drove through an item box and, by luck, ended up getting a rare blue shell... "Ehehe... game over." Releasing the shell just as Alex would cross the finish line, Rita was... a bit mean right now... she understood why this game ruined friendships so much... no hard feelings, though, she hoped... Sticking her tongue out, Rita spoke up after the race. "Sorry, not every day you get that good an opportunity..." Before giving them both a slight giggle. "Is there a way to turn items off? I never really played before, actually..." Rita wasn't lying here, she really felt bad for what she did... though... her luck was... pretty awesome at that point... "Sorry, Alex... I'll play fair next time, I promise!" Dropping the padded controller, Rita slapped her hands together in a forgiveness gesture... damn, what she did was assholish... oh well, it was still luck... Though maybe, while she was distracted in talking, Alex may have gotten ahead once again... she did't know... and possibly Hotaka too... was the race even over? Rita payed no attention to the game there for a second... and left both of them the perfect chance to pass her up... looking up... Rita saw... the screen, though her eyes were a bit unfocused and she had no idea what she was seeing... so she waited and rubbed her eyes a bit over and over again... wait, was something happening to her vision...?

hitomi laughed to her self as alex ran to the bathroom, not really playing attention to game she had guess she lost. well that was fun she said at rita what else do you want to do? hitomi said standing up and stretching and started to wander around the room. Wondering how alex was doing she was a little bit mad but at lest he didn't tell rita

Rita got up quickly, panicking a bit while Alex went to the bathroom... she couldn't listen to Hotaka's words right now, there was no time... "Damn... damn damn damn damn...." She was baffled right now, why did it have to happen right at this time...? Searching around furiously, Rita gave a sigh of relief as she found what she was looking for, placing them on her face right away.
"Phew, that's better... first time I actually need to use these in a while..." A quick adjusting was all it took for Rita to be able to see properly again as the small round glasses sat on her nose. "This happens normally but ever since leaving Japan, I haven't needed to..." Though she wasn't about to explain it all, Rita was semi-albino, which was the reason why her hair color changed in the first place... though her immune system didn't change much aside from an occasional burst of weakness or her eyes fogging up due to it... well, unless they asked, she wouldn't really tell them as it wasn't really much interest... looking to the screen, Rita saw that she'd won... did Hotaka really get to Alex...? And why was he in the bathroom now? Wait, didn't Hotaka ask her something as well? "Oh yeah, Soutoshi-kun, did you ask me something?" She'd turn around to him while she was picking another game, this one wasn't really the best for her... giving a semi-evil grin, Rita picked out a fighting game she was particularly good at... one she mastered pretty well... "Alright, Alex, let's see how you deal with this..." Smirking, Rita would use the keyboard for this one and let Alex use the controller... the game's name? Touhou 10.5- Scarlet Weather Rhapsody... she'd pick her favorite out of the chars, Youmu Konpaku and wait for either Alex or Hotaka to take up the role of the second player. "Hey, Soutoshi-kun, you any good at fighting games?" She'd ask without thinking too much, though she didn't mean much by it... she was just interested in how her opponent would fare and if she'd need to tone her own skill down for them... or not, she would never go easy on either Alex or Hotaka, simply because they were friends... waiting, Rita looked up at the sky outside her window, wondering why she'd even been born this way in the first place.

I asked if you wanted to do anything else? hitomi said rolling back on to the back Ummm why the glasses rita you never had to wear them before she questioned upside down, watching alex come in and looked like her started to leave she rolled back up and said alex?, where you going, if it's home i might as well come with you, considering how close we live together

Pushing up her glasses, Rita wasn't really very comfortable with answering this question... "Ah, well... it's a disease thing but don't worry about it, I'm fine!" Giving Hotaka a sheepish smile, Rita shrugged and watched as Alex entered the room with a sullen look. "Hey, Alex, you alright?" She was actually worried right now, she had no idea what to say seeing her friend look so down... "H-hey, was it because I played unfairly last game...? I promise I won't do it again, it was just a quirk of luck, I swear!" Rita would put her hands up to her face, slamming her palms together as if she was begging for forgiveness... "S-seriously, next time we play, no items on!" She was trying to find a solution to this problem... Rita really didn't know if that was the problem or not but she assumed the worst out of instinct... "H-hey, you really don't have to leave yet if you don't want to... I-I don't mind having you here..." She was trying to get him to stay, seeing how down he was... Rita wanted to help out any way she could... "B-but seriously, what's wrong...?" She was really worried now, and disappointed Hotaka spoke so nonchalantly right now... was he really not able to see what Alex looked like? She waited for replies, worried she'd maybe not get any...

"yeah sure I got another round in me, ill try not be be terrible this time" she said still hanging up side down "and Rita don't worry about the glasses they look good on you" hitomi said smiling as she tried to pick a char well upside down which didn't work very well "maybe I should move back up right" she said with a small laugh well spining around

Rita looked at Hotaka with a bit of a confused expression, did he not notice she changed the game? "Err, you any good at fighting games, Soutoshi-kun? I'd rather let Alex play this one first..." She still was feeling a bit bad at how Alex looked... he really was depressed... running to whisper to Hotaka, Rita made him put down the controller for now. "Sorry, Soutoshi-kun, but I want Alex to play right now..." She'd say this in an undetectable whisper, Alex shouldn't even be able to detect that she had spoken, while Hotaka would be able to barely hear her... Sitting back on her chair, Rita pointed Alex in the direction of the closet. "There's an extra chair inside there, can you bring it out?" If and when he did, Rita would pat it for him to sit down with a smile on her face, pointing him to the direction of the game afterwards. "Pick whoever you want, I already know who I'll play as..." Rita had already picked her character, playing with a keyboard as she preferred... "Well then, let's see just how good I've gotten at this game!" She'd exclaim with a gentle smile on her face, as opposed to a cocky one... she wouldn't hold back, of course... but she wasn't expecting to win against Alex either... whatever way the game went, Rita's plays were quick and aggressive as Youmu dashed across the screen with brilliance, her sword illuminating the whole stage... though she doubted that would be enough to top Alex's game, whatever character he picked...

"fighting games no" hitomi said watch her two friends start"MOBAs, MMOs and JRPG are more my style"she said with a confidence smile "and no Rita I did not nocited you switched the game" she said fliping back around "but yeah the best damn tusk,or jinx you'll ever see"

With a sigh, Rita patted Hotaka's head as if asking him to stay quiet for a bit... she was truly getting her ass handed to her and in such a simple way, too... really, while Alex's strategy was predictable, it was still a very hard one to try and dodge... Rita did her best to try and beat him... her experience with this game HAD to be good for something, right? ...right...? Nevertheless, Rita wasn't really able to beat Alex by using her strategy and, even knowing the char he had picked through and through, his unpredictability with it still won through... "U-um... h-how did you...?" Rita was thoroughly surprised... this was a game she knew inside out and still lost hands down to Alex... she could even say to be flabbergasted as her mouth had flung wide open in surprise... "Wait, you seriously-?! But, that character-! And the strategy-! How?!" She couldn't really find any words to describe what had happened... she really had nothing much to say... Alex really only lost that first game because of her insane luck, didn't he...? But how...? Rita's mind wondered how someone could be so good at a fighting game they've never played before... and how they could beat an experienced player like she was already... she didn't really pay attention to much as she just stared at the screen, her mouth already having been closed and a gulp of air swallowed dry through her throat...

After the game,even though she wasn't playing it lefted her dazed Oh wow, i couldn't keep up with that at all...but i think alex won, so yay alex she said claping her hands together and stood up i need some water she said standing up and went to go get a glass and filled it with water, going to take a drink and spelt it down the front of her shirt ugh damn it... she said to her self rita where's a towel that i can use just tell me it is so you can keep playing
