Virtual reality, without the reality

Van: *is leading sally, g, and half leading half dragging vibes, to a local vr arcade* ok. This place will be the best get away for us. Vr and whatever we want for the day.

*Vibes groans*

Vibes: If it's the one with the bloke with the lawnmower I'm out.

Van: its not like that v... come on. You love this kinda stuff *he glances to sal*

*Sal groans*

Sal: Sure, why not?

Van: ...yeah. sure.

G: er...*he nudges sal as if to cue her to talk to vibes*

* Sal sighs*

Sal: Vibes...before we go in...can we have a quick chat?

Van: yeah. Why dont you 2-

*Sal and Vibes go outside*

Van: *exhales and slumps into a chair* it took everything to just get v here...

*Guillermo sighs*

Guillermo: Just give them a second.

Van: are you 2 at least alright?

* Guillermo smiles*

Guillermo: Let's just say we patched things up.

Van: thats good.

MEANWHILE...

* Sal looks at Vibes, who looks away from her*

Sal: Vibes I...

Vibes: Don't tell me you're sorry. Because you're not.

Sally: yes i am!

*Vibes glares at her*

Vibes: No. If you were sorry your subconscious would stop attacking me!

Sal: It's my subconscious Vibes! By definition I can't control it!

Vibes: But be honest Sal. It's there. It's always been there.

* Sal tries to take a deep breath*

Sal: Vibes, we're in public. Can we do the nice thing that Van has organised for us and talk
about this later?

Vibes: sure. Just deflect again. Like always

Sally: i cant control my mind! I cant control what negativity manifests! You should know that better than anyone miss psychic

*Vibes glares at her*

Vibes: I didn't ask for this either! Everyone always saying I should be better! I can never be good enough so what's the point?

Sally: i-

Vibes: forget it

*Vibes looks sadly at Sal*

Vibes: Do you know what the worst part is, Sal? I thought you were better than them.

Vibes: *storms into the vr place* just give me the damn headset. Lets get this over with

Van: v-

Vibes: dont. Im in no mood

*Sal sighs as she puts the headset on*

*the 4 enter the room*

Van: i figured a fun game of laser tag would be cool. And a day of no powers

* Sal laughs bitterly*

Sal: Let's see how much of a big shot you are now Vibes!

* Vibes laughs back*

Vibes: Did you just tell a joke? I didn't think funsponges like you were allowed.

Van: *groans* ok. First is couples vs couples. *van and vibes become clothed in red gear while sal and g get blue* first to.....uh...wheres the score- *he is cut off as the 2 teams are sent to the starting points* board....guess that stays hidden for now. Oh well
