> Go inside and play minecraft with a friend!

Hmm. Well you have been training for well over an hour by now. A break wouldn't hurt.

You head back inside after giving the dummy one last slice. You head to your room and lay your weapon on the side of the desk. Then you sit down and roll up to the computer.

A friend huh? Which friend though?

> perhaps miss viralVice ;)

...Why the winky? Regardless! You're not sure why you were trying to figure out which friend. You've really only got one friend you play Minecraft with. And that's VV. You shrug and decide to shoot a pester.

> ==>
-- ardentCreator [AC] began pestering viralVice [VV] --

AC: Hey VV.
AC: You up for continuing our adventure together?
AC: On Minecraft I mean.
AC: I need a break today after training for almost 2 hours straight.

You sent the pester. Might as well get a snack, you are quite hungry.

You get up and grab your phone. A quick stretch is performed and then you head to the kitchen. You open the fridge and see that it's stocked with food. You decide on some carrots and a glass of water for snack time.

Suddenly, the front door swings open and you turn around. There stands Mother... She closes the door behind her and locks it. She walks over to you.

> Zeke: Converse

ZEKE: Hello Mother.

She stares at you. You can never tell what is going on in that mind of hers. Always quietly watching and judging...

It's been like that ever since Father disappeared during a work trip. Everyone says he passed away but you still find letters being mailed to you by him. He's always going on and on about some huge project that'll shape the future of this world.

"Make sure you and your friends fill out the email from SkaiaNET. It's a matter of life or death and-"

Mother taps your forehead with those slightly longer than normal fake designed fingernails. Seems like you might have gotten into a deep thought there.

ZEKE: What is it Mother?

She looks at the fridge and then the stove.

ZEKE: Dinner?
ZEKE: I do not mind whatever you decide to cook.
ZEKE: You know I enjoy your cooking greatly.

She smiles and begins to grab ingredients from the fridge.

This is your cue to leave. You grab the bag of baby carrots and your glass of water. You head back to your room and shut the door behind you.

There's something about her that rubs you off the wrong way. You just don't know what. You hope she doesn't mean you any harm at the very least.

As you munch on your baby carrots a notification pops up. You check the computer and see that VV has responded to you. You set the baby carrots aside and take a sip of water. She's down to play, that's cool. You get to pestering.

> Zeke: Play a game.
