"OH COME ON!" Vinyl Scratch shouted into her headset. "WHAT THE BUCK WAS THAT?" Her anger was directed towards her TV screen, where a pony in camouflage clothing was repeatedly lowereing and raising his hindquarters over the face of another dead pony. "AND WHO THE BUCK T-BAGS ANYMORE?!"
"Vinyl? Are you alright in there?" Octavia cautiously opened the door to her friend's bedroom. She immediately recoiled as the smell of half-rotten pizza and empty energy drink cans flooded her nose. She swallowed hard and pushed past the wall of stink into the room. "Vinyl, I heard you shouting. Is everything alright?"
"Huh? Oh, yeah, everything's fi- OH YOU SONNOVA MOTHERLESS GOAT!" The DJ screamed into her headset again. on screen, her character was killed again by another enemy.
Octavia rolled her eyes. "Vinyl, its been three days. You need to take a break from that silly game and do something. All this yelling can't be good for you, and don't you have a show next week?"
"Yeah, I do." Vinyl said, rubbing her temples during the killcam. "Ugh. You're right. My eyes are killing me from staring at that screen." She logged out of the match and turned off the console. "I'm going to go for a walk. You want to come with?"
"Oh, no thank you. I need to practice my cello for my concert this weekend."
"Alright. Suit yourself." Vinyl Scratch walked past her and left their apartment. Octavia looked out the window and watched her walk down the street. Once she was out of sight Octavia sighed.
"Now that she's gone..." She said aloud,sitting in Vinyl's gaming chair and turning on the console. She secured the headset to her ears and picked up the controller.
CelloMast3R has joined the game
One Hour Later
Vinyl Scratch pushed open the door to the apartment sighing in content. That walk had really helped her calm down and clear her head. She was just about to walk into the kitchen when she heard noises coming from her room.
"BOOM! HEADSHOT MOTHERBUCKER!"
Vinyl couldn't believe her ears. She quickly ran to her room and threw the door open. Octavia was standing on her hind legs, doing some sort of dance while an end-game leaderboard flashed across the screen. The name CelloMast3R was highlighted at the top of the list.
"What the heck?" She laughed. "Tavi, what gives?"
Octavia turned to face her, surprise on her face, she yelped and dropped the controller. "Oh, um. Hi, Vinyl..."
"Sup?"
"If you tell anypony about this I will personally shatter all of your records."
"Fine. Deal." She stuck out her hoof and Octavia accepted it, a small blush spreading on her face.
