Indigo blinked, then rapidly shook her head to snap herself back to reality. "What the hell just happened?" She replayed the events that had unfolded in her head over and over again, trying to comprehend her current reality. Sure, she'd lost a match or two before, but never this badly. She felt her anger and frustration rise. "Dammit, dammit, dammit!" She punctuated each "dammit" with a punch to the couch she sat on. She then took a deep breath, calming herself. "Stay cool, Indigo Zap." She told herself. Remaining calm, she sent a message to the Grand Champion.

I want to challenge you to a rematch. There's no way you can beat me that badly a second time! - Sent by IndiZap

Indigo waited for a few moments, then her console pinged. 

Are you sure? I wouldn't want to impose, and I have a very busy schedule. - Sent by Lunar_Goddess_NMM

Indigo narrowed her eyes in determination.

I am without a doubt sure. I have just one additional request. I want there to be voice chat so I can hear you when I beat you. - Sent by IndiZap

Indigo gritted her teeth. Her pride had never been this wounded before and she needed some validation of her skills. She sighed, continuously playing the last match in her head over and over again, trying to make sense of it. Her console pinged.

Very well. Bear in mind, though, that you requested the rematch. - Sent by Lunar_Goddess_NMM

Indigo scowled and rolled her eyes, trying not to blow up lest she lose her chance at redeeming herself.

Since you're the one with the busy schedule, why don't you set the time? - Sent by IndiZap

Indigo cracked her neck, then walked away to get her dinner ready. By the time she had everything prepared, her console pinged.

Does late tomorrow morning work for you? - Sent by Lunar_Goddess_NMM

Indigo grinned for the first time in what felt like forever.

Name the exact time and I'll be ready! - Sent by IndiZap

Indigo's console pinged, and she took note of the time by putting a reminder in her phone, ten minutes before the appointed time. Just to be on the safe side. She swiftly ate dinner, then took a moment to indulge in her ultimate guilty pleasure - playing with Barbie dolls.

As much as Indigo would hate to say it, she has a...reputation at Crystal Prep, and she'll be damned if word got out that she liked playing with them, let alone the fact that she just got her ass kicked by a virtual unknown in one of her most oft-played games. 

About an hour had passed, and Indigo hopped onto her computer and watched videos of professional e-sports players duking it out, playing and replaying them in hopes of gleaning any information on how she could beat Lunar. She slipped into her pajamas, as she was almost one hundred percent positive that she was going to fall asleep in front of the television again.

The sun had completely set, and Indigo began playing the game on maximum difficulty with her favorite character. Again and again, she fought. She wanted to hone her technique, perfect it! She wanted this "Lunar Goddess" to see who the big shot was and that that last match they had was nothing more than a fluke! She didn't stop, not even after beating the game several times with all flawless victories! She couldn't stop, but she didn't want to. It would only be a matter of time before her thumbs hurt, and she even got a blister!

"Okay...wow...holy shit." Indigo said, putting her hand to her forehead, realizing the extent her madness took her. "What time is it?" She looked at the clock, and her eyes widened. "What the hell got into me? I need to calm down." She took a deep breath, then exhaled. "Hopefully a good night's sleep will cure what ails me...hopefully."

Indigo turned everything off, then walked up to her room. She flopped onto her bed and made a sputtering noise. She turned her bedroom lights off and slowly let sleep take her away.
