Since working out in the training center with John and Qhuinn did not sound appealing, she went in search of something else to do. It'd been a quiet day and she was starting to go stir crazy in the mansion. Finding herself at the door to the Pit, she smiled and knocked, hoping Marissa was around. As it was not yet dark out, she probably hadn't gone to SafePlace for the night, or maybe she'd have the night off.

*Heard a knock at the door and smiled as she placed the back of her earring on the stem. Opening the door she saw Xhex and smiled* Hey! Come on in.

She smiled and went into the smaller house, Marissa closing the door behind her. "I was bored and had some time to waste until my shift at the club tonight. I thought I'd come by and visit you since my other option was watching John and Qhuinn try to race each other on treadmills." She shook her head and went to sit in the living room area.

*She shook her head* Well, no...I supposed that doesn't sound like fun. I was going to head over to SafePlace...but not until much later. I'm glad you stopped by. Butch and Vishous are off doing the Scribe only knows what and that leaves me here.
*She looked around and was very glad the place was much cleaner since the last time Xhex decided to visit.* What have you been up to besides, watching the treadmill diaries. *she grinned and sat down on the couch*

She shrugged and laughed. "Nothing new really, still working on things with John Matthew, but I'm glad that we're taking that time now that we didn't take before. If that makes any sense. What about you? Anything new going on? Kick Butch's ass in that driving game you were talking about yet?"

*She shook her head* No he doesn't know I even play it. He would laugh at me. It's my guilty pleasure. Maybe one day I'll con him into playing and he'll think he can beat be and I'll kick his um...rear.
*She laughed and looked around* I was thinking that, maybe next week you could come by and introduce yourself to the families at SafePlace, so when you do give self-defense they will alreadyknow you.

She nodded and thought it over. "Makes sense, I can come out and introduce myself. Is there a night that works best for you and the families?"

*Thought for a moment* No, just whichever. We're always there. Even if I'm not there you can just go and mill around the common areas, it doesn't have to be a formal thing.

Smiling, she nodded again. "Okay, I should be able to handle that." She glanced around, not really sure what to talk about next. She saw the white game console and smiled. "Show me how to do that driving game? If you have time, anyway."

*Smiled and nodded* sure thing.
*started the game up and handed her the steering wheel* Ok you have to pick a car and a character. I heard from the young at Safe Place they are old characters from a few years ago but I just learned of them. *looked at her very serious* I am ALWAYS princess Peach. Now pick your character.

Taking the wheel, she looked it over and then did as Marissa directed. She chose the small, mushroom looking character. The screen said his name was Toad. "So, when it starts, I just steer like driving a car?" She felt mildly ridiculous both for holding this tiny steering wheel and for asking probably obvious questions.

*Nodded* Pretty much...and try and run over the little dancing boxes, but not the dark ones with the upside down question marks, those...you'll crash.
*The game lights went from Red, to yellow to green and they started...she picked the easiest route to start with and whizzed past Xhex with a laugh*

Pushing the button and turning the wheel, she set the mushroom to follow after Marissa's character. When Marissa laughed, she couldn't help but smile. By the time the race ended, she felt a lot less juvenile and was more determined to beat Marissa next time. "Race again? I won't let you win twice."

*Nodded, witha grin* You're on.
*She set it but this time with a harder course...the one with the snow and ice*

It took her one lap of the icy one to figure out how to steer on the course. But of course, by then, Marissa was way ahead of her. By the end of the course, she was only seconds behind her. Determined now, she followed the same pattern of buttons Rissa had used to get a new course and the next race started to set up. "Okay, so I'll give you two." She hated to lose, especially something as silly as a cartoon racing game.

*Giggled and nodded* Ok, but don't say I didn't warn you. I've beat each level at least 5 times.
*narrowed her eyes* Alright Miss badass...let's see what you've got!

Grinning, she hit the button when the race started and Toad took off. She'd chosen a dirt track and she knew all about the physics of turning in dirt. Granted this was a video game, but the principals were still there. The first lap she was way ahead, but Marissa caught up quickly and at the end Rissa was literally a second behind her. Cheering or celebrating victory wasn't her thing. She smiled at Rissa and held up the controller. "Race again?"

*Glared* one more time.
*Set the game for the course through the mall with the escalators and different obstacles and smiled* Now we are on MY turf!

She laughed and when the race started she, took off. Marissa was way ahead of her already and the first time she hit something that slowed her down, she knew she was done for. Still, she tried to win, but Marissa crossed the finish first. Laughing, she set the wheel down next to her, turning to look at Rissa. "That was guilty fun, I see why you don't tell anyone about it. Thank you for showing me."

*she smiled* You are quite welcome. I loved sharing it with you. Maybe next time we get together, we can do something you enjoy.
*They sat together for quite some time afterward, talking and developing a friendship that would amaze just about everyone*
