Miriam Had a Bad Night

So, after the game ended, I had the brilliant idea to wait over at Ethan's house for him to get back. Leia basically had to do that, so I stayed around to keep her company. Among our friend group, the two of us were most similar in our enjoyment of old fantasy stuff. Conan, trashy sci-fi novels, the movie Heavy Metal. That kind of thing. It was all very "Riddle of Steel". Getting a chance to sit around and talk with her about all that was fun...

....Having to wait two hours for Ethan to get back even after the game ended was not.

Ethan's beatup Toyota rolled into the driveway and Miriam came storming out of the passengers side. If she was a tropical storm before, now she was a hurricane. Thick tears streamed down her cheeks along with heaps of mascara. Me and Leia both looked on in shock. She didn't even greet us as she **** her way past to the door. This was followed by the sound of stomping on stairs from inside.

A moment later, an exceedingly tired looking Ethan walks over to the porch and sat with with us. Suddenly I was slightly less mad about the whole two hour wait thing.

"Jesus, what happened to her?" I ask.

"Nevermind that. Did anything happen after I left?" Ethan says with a groan.

"Yeah, I became John's ****!" Leia interjects, ever so slightly more excited about that then she should be.

"W-what?" Ethan's eyebrows narrow. At me.

Before he can get any wrong ideas though, we explained how the rest of the game went to him. There's still signs of discomfort there. I mean, it is his girlfriend. Her character posing as mine's sex **** isn't so bad in the context of a game because it isn't quite real, but people do really see themselves as their characters sometimes. Identification. So it was easy to tell he found something about the idea slightly off.

After that, we talked for a little bit, but Leia couldn't stay that much longer. She'd already had to take up to much time waiting around for him. After she was gone, me and Ethan stayed on the porch for awhile. We didn't talk much. It was more like we were chilling out.

"Hey John, can I ask you for a favor??"
