alexis and isaac

Who: Alexis and Isaac
Where: An arcade at the mall
When: Evening

After talking to her dad, Alexis just wanted to get out of the house, and for once he didn't try to stop her. He even let her have the car, just so she wouldn't be walking in the cold. Even if she felt better about the whole ordeal, she needed some space, some fresh air, and a chance to go let off some stress, if it was possible. She thought about giving Kyle a call, then decided against it, since that might only make the situation worse. Instead, she headed to the mall and began to wander, eventually making her way into the arcade. It was a good place to waste time, even if a little money, plus she could put some of her shooting range skills to the test. Popping a few quarters into one of the games, Alexis picked up the plastic gun and began to work the stress out of her system by killing herself some aliens.

Isaac had just been, well ... restless. Kaysen was in a bad mood, his parents were freaked out, Thom was off doing Thom things, the ghosts were more than a little unsettling, and he'd just wanted to get out of the house. He'd thought about calling up some of the guys, to see if he could round up a Guy's Night, but as he was flipping through phone numbers, found that there wasn't anybody he really wanted to hang out with. It was weird for him, but he was apparently in A Mood. So he decided just to work through it himself. Borrowing the van, he'd headed out to the mall to walk around a bit, and wandered into the arcade. Maybe some old fashioned Mortal Kombat would make him feel better or something. As his eyes skimmed around, he saw a vaguely familiar blonde head, and meandered over in that direction to watch her shoot things. Alexis, that was who it was. "Not bad for a girl," he said in a teasing sort of way once there was a break in the action.
