Paradox Kitten: Audiosurf

Audiosurf

You, being Nepeta Lejion from the former world of Alternia, a-paw-solutly LOVE This game!

You play music AND get high scores? How cool!

A zig, a zag, a zip, a zap, Dodge those grey blocks! WHOO!

You're so caught up in zipping around these awesome little colored tracks that you don't notice the sound of someone flash-stepping in behind you and placing a pair of headphones over your ears.

When they-- Being a Dirk Strider of no particular Scratched Universe-- plug in the headphones into the computer, the sudden shift of sound makes you jump. "Wah!!"

"I get that you Trolls are nocturnal," Dirk says "but if you're going to play music this late at night, at least do it with some headphones. Some of us have work in the morning."

You frown and do the Vwiskers-ey thing. "Fiiiiiiiine."

...

A good half an hour later and you still can't get your previous groove back. You keep crashing into those grey blocks like they're going out of style.

It's around this time that Dave time-warps back from whenever he was, another loud sound making you jump- and, predictably, hit another grey block.

He notices you growling at the laptop. "What's up?"

"Your brother threw off my pacing." you whine as you pause the game. "I keep hitting the grey blocks."

"Audiosurf huh?" he looks at the paused screen. "Well...Let's just see about that."

...

You are now Dirk Strider, and you are now- somehow- floating within a white void in some sort of hover-car thing on a color-changing track.

Somehow, you feel like Dave had something to do with this rather odd dream.

Not that you know that it's a dream, as the dream pile has gotten so high by now that you can't tell awake from asleep.

Shit you've got to stop hitting all they stupid grey blocks or you're going to give yourself a headache.

...

You, being Dave Strider, smirk as your brother stumbles out of his room, with a dazed look in his eyes. "Sleep well?"

"No." he replies with a groan, not even noticing your house guest. "What time is it?"

"Six twenty-five." Kanaya replies. "P.M."

Even with those pointy shades on, you can tell Dirk's eyes are widening in horror. "Oh Crap!" and with that, you watch your brother race out to work at Six twenty-five in the morning, a good three hours before his shift even starts.

And once the door slams shut, Nepeta begins giggling as she says "Thank you, Kanaya!"

"It was my pleasure, Nepeta." The Sylph of Space said with a smile. "Rose has been wanting me to try using my powers in more creative ways anyways, and this was good practice for when we-."

"Woah woah woah." You cut her off before she continues with that sentence. "Too much information!"

"Sorry." She replied.

Nepeta just giggles some more and despite the situation, you can't help but chuckle yourself.
