Scene 1 : This the house...right?

I remember it like it was yesterday. Walking down that sidewalk, with the hot sun beating down on me as I made my way home. The slight breeze doing it's best to be noticed, and the sounds of insects playing their loud symphony.

As I stood by the mailbox reminiscing of days past, I heard a sweet whisper tickle my ear saying, 'LOOK OUT!!! Huh...that is so not a whisper..."

~CRASH~

"Okay, I really gotta stop self monologuing". Safaia told herself as she stood up, dusting herself off.

"Ah...really sorry bout that. I guess I still need to level up my voice projecting skills huh."

As he was what I believe to be apologizing, he reached his hand out and with a huge grin on his face continued saying, "Hey there, names Zuka. This is the house right?"

"Zuka...Zuka...Oh!!! Zukasmash17!!"

It took me a sec to recall the name as I only knew the Gamer Tag from our discord chats.

"Nice to put a name to the Tag dude!"

As he turned to pick up his skateboard and bag, I gave him a quick once over. I noted he had way to much game swag. Y a know like posers wear. His hair though was pretty stellar. The black with blue tipped hair really seemed to work on him. Not that its cooler than mine, what with me having the Playstation button colors in my hair.

As we entered the house, Zuka's mouth looked like it was gonna hit the floor. I could not not help but release a small giggle. He was gonna be an interesting house mate for sure with reactions like those.

"Woah!! This is beyond cooler than I ever imagined!"

Zuka gasped as he walked into, what was called the Big Room.

The Big Room is so open and with a whole wall basically windows you feel like your outside in those woods surrounded by the beautiful nature.

"Come on dude, let me show you to your room first. After ya get settled in a bit I'll totally give ya the grand tour."

I led him up the stairs and to the right down the hallway, that overlooked the Big Room. Once we made it the end of the hall I motioned him to the door on the right. "Well, this is your room Zuka."

"Sweetness!! Woah...this...is...perfect!!"

The room was not very big but it had one stellar balcony looking out to the woods.

Left to himself, Zuka went to work exploring every nook and cranny of his new room.

"As gamer law states, 'When setting up a base, one must clear it, scavenge it, and claim it!'" Once Zuka was satisfied with the room, he decided it was time...time...to attack!!!

Standing at the hallway balcony, Zuka made his gaming challenge known throughout the whole house.

I heard my name being yelled out so I left the kitchen to see what was up. I found Zuka looking down at me with his arms crossed and a huge smile on his face. As it turned out, he had just challenged me to some Mario Kart. I looked up at him and with a confident look on my face I yelled back, "GAME ON!! LETS RACE!!"

After my challenge proclamation, Safaia led me to the basement. I was completely in awe yet again as we walked down the stairs. They were decorated with signs of warnings and challenges. I was getting so excited!

When I was on the hunt for a new base/room, seeing that this place had a Gaming Dungeon was the reason I had to live here! The doors to the Dungeon opened and it was so glorious!

I saw Zuka freeze up as he laid eyes on the Dungeon for the first time. Chuckling to myself, I left him to soak it all in as I got the game set up for our race. The Gaming Dungeon was my pride and joy after all. I had worked so hard collecting and setting this stuff up, and it was beyond worth it. To be honest though, I was most proud of the Score Wall. It had all the highest scores from every game played in the Dungeon. "I'm so excited to add some new scores to the wall!!"

Once our gaming battle was done, to which Safaia said I showed stellar promise and sills, we headed upstairs to the kitchen. Which was great because I was starving.

"Oh, hey Crypt. This is Zuka, our newest squad mate."

I heard Saf come up stairs as I was heading to the fridge. I grabbed my soda and turned around...and there he was...Zuka. Saf mentioned we were getting a new housemate. Figures it's the guy who was yelling a bit ago and woke me up.

"Hmmmm"

"Well that talkative guy leaving was Crypt. Don't let his grumpiness mess with ya. Once he warms up to ya, he is a stellar guy."

I was just so overjoyed with everything that happened today, that even Crypt's silent treatment could not put a damper on my mood.

"This place just gets better and better by the minute!! I can't wait for the future!"
