- >The dull glow from your monitor bounced off the empty chip bags and hollowed energy drinks cans that littered your desk.
- >Likewise the rest of your humble abode gave testimony to the caloric refreshments needed for a man of your stature and girth.
- >Twas the nerve center from which you had launched so many of your virtual conquests in the various realms you had plundered over the years.
- >To think the common peasants of your meatspace vicinity knew you as merely 'Anon'.
- >Truly your distinguished repute in the World of Warhorses gave more than enough justification for any 'excess' your friends may have been concerned about.
- >You scratched the hair of your neckbeard as the specially customized Secretlab beneath you groaned from even the slightest shifting of your weight.
- >Logging onto your account you were prepared to begin another crusade of unremitting thrashing of the unwashed plebs before your cell began vibrating next to your keyboard.
- >It was Aria Blaze.
- Hmm.
- >You considered letting it go to voicemail but decided against it.
- >If she found out you'd been ignoring her you knew from previous experience what her wrath could entail.
- "Hello?"
- >"Anon! What the hell? I tried calling you three times earlier! Why didn't you answer?
- >You shifted in your gaming chair as you reached for another cheesy treat and popped it into your hungry maw.
- "Yeah...
- >*crunch*
- "I was..."
- >*crunch*
- "Sleeping."
- >You could practically hear Aria's brow furrowing over the phone as a small moment of frustrated silence passed over.
- >"Sleeping? Really dude? Ugh, whatever. Are you gonna let me in or what?"
- "You're..."
- >*crunch*
- "...Here?"
- >Aria let out her famous groan.
- >"Yes."
- >She made a pretend crunching sound.
- >"I."
- >And another.
- >"Am."
- >You gave a sigh.
- "Alright, I'll buzz you in."
- >With considerable effort you lifted your stout self from your throne of vidya dominance and headed to the door.
- >After granting the siren admittance to the apartment's entrance you headed for the kitchen.
- >And more importantly the refrigerator.
- >Opening it up you gazed upon the various provisions at your disposal as you waited for your friend to make it up to your floor.
- >You were about to select a particularly enticing slice of Devil's Food cake when you heard Aria using her keys to open the front door.
- >As the twin tailed songstress stepped over the threshold she looked around the dwelling with a look of mild annoyance before settling her glare directly on you from the hallway.
- >She was wearing tight black yoga pants with a light purple tank top and gray running shoes.
- >Each article of clothing seemed to accentuate her curves expertly.
- >She made an exaggerated motion of pinching her nose with her fingers as she made another glance at her surroundings.
- >"Ever heard of air fresheners?"
- >As she made her way over you decided it might be best to offer a tasty olive branch.
- "Hey, you want some cake? I've got extra-"
- >"Not right now, but I do call dibs on a slice for later. Just came to return your copy of C oom."
- >The purple grump set the cartridge on the kitchen table before taking a seat and leaning back.
- >Tilting her head to one side as she gave you a wry smile.
- >"Dessert already huh?"
- >You gave a shrug as you removed the chocolatey comestible before grabbing a fork and settling across from Aria at the table.
- >The chair creaked in protest as Aria rolled her eyes.
- >You broke off a piece of the delicious delicacy and held it up to your eyes, examining it's texture as you allowed your appetite to gain momentum.
- "So what's up?"
- >You bit into the piece of cake and relished the cascade of flavor on your tastebuds.
- >Aria folded her arms and looked over at your gaming station with a pensive expression before turning her gaze back at you.
- Anon...The girls and I are kind of... Well worried about you I guess."
- >You scoffed.
- "Worried? About what? That I'm going be the next HoH master? Because that is a valid concern."
- >You gave a small chuckle at your less-than-modest comment as you carved off another chunk of dark deliciousness.
- "Don't worry, I won't forget about you guys when I make it to the big leagues."
- >Aria's glare was enough to make you pause before your next bite.
- >Though only for a moment.
- >She straightened up and gave you a hard stare as your eyes met before you broke it off and refocused on your snack.
- >"When's the last time you went out and got some fresh air?"
- "I don't know. Why?"
- >"Well, this place looks even worse than the last time I was her and that was barely a week ago. And you-"
- >You set down your fork with a clang as you returned the stare again.
- "What?"
- >"Anon... You know 'what'."
- >You gave an irritated huff.
- "Yeah, I know I'm fat as fuck. Any other breaking news you got for me?"
- >Aria's eyes softened slightly as you shifted yours to a spot of linoleum tile.
- >Almost unconsciously your hand reached back for the fork as Aria pulled the plate away.
- "Hey!"
- >"Shut up and grab your shoes tubby. >We're going for a walk."
- >You reeled back in disgust.
- "You're kidding right? I'm not going out there! Not with everything that's happening right now."
- >Aria slammed her fists onto the table, causing the piece of cake and it's plate to jump slightly.
- >"Don't be a pussy Anonymous! You need exercise! You need to lose weight!"
- "I am not! I am the Anonihilator!
- >You took a second to catch your breath from the outburst before continuing.
- "I exercise strategies and excise my enemies! I'm a heavyweight in more ways than one!"
- >Sweat had begun to bead on your forehead as your labored breath gave away just how much you had let yourself go.
- >Maybe Aria had a point?
- >Nevertheless, you raised your triple chin up with deserved pomposity.
- "And don't you forget it Ms. Blaze."
- >Aria balked.
- >"Yeah, you're definitely coming with me."
- >You gave an indignant pout.
- "B-but the cake?"
- >She replied by letting a clear stream of saliva fall from her lips onto the slice.
- >She looked back at you with challenge in her eyes.
- "Still want it now?"
- >You gave a small smirk of defiance.
- >Oh, you sweet summer child.
- "Yes. Even more so."
- >She cocked an eywbrow.
- >"Bruh".
- >For a mythical creature from another dimension she had little appreciation for the finer things in life.
- Several tense seconds passed as you two stared each other down.
- >Aggression vs appetite.
- >Alas, no cake was worth losing this friendship over.
- >So finally you relented.
- "Okay, okay, fine. Jesus."
- >You lifted yourself up from the chair, it's mocking groan of relief not helping to improve your mood in the slightest.
- >Making your way to the front doorstep, >Aria stood up and followed behind as she tossed the remaining cake into the trash bin.
- >Rest in peace.
- >As you slipped on your penny loafers you gave a cursory glance back at the lithe slave driver behind you.
- "So where are you taking me anyway?"
- >Aria gave a friendly grin.
- >"Just to the park Anon. It's open and I know a secret shortcut."
- >She opened the door and waited for you to follow suit.
- >You hesitated for a moment, shuffling your feet somwhat nervously.
- "And then what?"
- >Aria's grin grew more devilish as she let one hand pull on her tank top's shoulder strap.
- >Just enough to make the front her shirt bounce a few times.
- >"We'll see about some yoga moves I can show you."
- >Why didn't she just start with this approach?
- >Women.
- >You slammed the door behind you as the two of you headed for the elevator.
- "I guess HoH can wait a little while longer."
- Aria laughed.
- >"Uh huh. Come on big guy."
