(1) The smell of bacon and burnt toast filled the air as marik stood next to the stove , lazily cracking eggs into a skillet with his bacon. The toast was currently burning , which marik really didnt care about eating hollows for so many years left him wanting.

(2)  In his mind burnt toast was caviar compared to eating lowly hollows, that black stuff was just smokey flavor nothing to be scraped off. The normally neon green haired arrancar was currently in a gigai he found in a trash can , or maybe it was just a corpse? who fucking knows these days

(3) The body in question was an old homeless man , his frame was relativly skinny his clothes whatever color they used to be where brown now ; smelled of dog and piss. The sheer weight of all the grime made his dirty clothes quiet the blanket at night once you got past the smell.

(4) Now as to why he was in somone's house well marik never did like getting the attention of to many people , shinigami's and other hollows included. So he had been breaking into the homes of people who where on vacation and living in thier homes while they where away. No harm no foul.

(5) Now with laziness like marik's comes boredom , but that wasn't the case this month. He had found something called a play station five and to say he was addicted was an understatement. He had been playing these games non-stop the most addictive of them all was this game called call of duty.

(6) And to his own surprise he was good at the game , albiet he didnt actually know what he was doing but thanks to his superhuman reaction time he was normally able to button mash before anyone got a kill in on him. So not true skill he just normally hit the buttons faster than most people without experince in tech could respond.

(7) Grabbing oven mits and a hot pad he then grabs the cast iron with his bacon and eggs and head to the front room , with a happy sigh he leans back on the couch and sets the cast iron on the coffee table. "lets have a bit of fun" he yawned out as he reached for the play station five controller.

(8) Taking his free hand he would use his spatula as a makeshift fork shoveling the food into his gigais mouth which was filled with missing teeth , which made it a little hard to chew the food within. Once the playstation was booted up he would sighn into his PSN his gamer tag being 'DirdieBirdy' clever in his own mind.

(9) Once he was logged into the lobby he would kick his feet up on the coffe table and look up at the wide plama screen TV with a smug grin. "today's gonna be a good day" he would sigh out happily as he could already feel himself relaxing. Nothing like not fighting fir your damn life every day in the damn desert.

(10) Clicking through the setting for his operator as quickly as he could , he would then set up the single mod he had for this game which was an announcer pack. Nothing that would help him win just somthing to make him feel good about getting kills. Once the loading screen faded and the game began he would switch from his primary to his knife and begin the hunt.

[Crystal Tokei]

Yet again today was a pretty boring day for Crystal, business was slow so she had to find something to keep herself busy. Turning in her seat she pushes a big on button on the old vintage box color tv that sits to the right of her seat. Once the screen flashes white the familiar sound of static exudes from the old speaker connected to the television set. Turning the dial the channels begin to switch until it finally lands on channel one.



Fumbling around her stand Crystal pulls out a very beaten up Playstation 5 game station, quite literally duct taped in certain areas. Placing down on the ground next to the tv she connects the HDMI cable to the port she added to the television box. Sure it can't keep up with newer adged frames like more modern tv's, but that doesn't matter to her. After all she got to save money by fixing up all of these things. With that hooked up the doll turns the system on watching it boot up on the tv screen, 480 pixels of beautiful picture.



Reaching under her stand yet again Crystal pulls out an old Atari controller, plugging it in to the PlayStation 5 system. Would it have been easier to find an old PlayStation controller to use instead? Sure, but that wouldn't keep her busy and entertained. Giving the system an Atari controller port allows for her to test her skills and push herself to be better, both with technology and with gaming. With everything hooked up and ready to go she flicks the stick until she reaches the area to sign in, clicking the button she signs in to her psn Id CrystalCruiser.



Signed in and ready to game Crystal flicks the stick until she's hovering on Call of Duty Vanguard and clicks the red button to launch. As she always does, before playing with people she launches a local game with nothing but bots set to the highest difficulty. Joining the team where she's all alone she manages to get a K/D ration of 75/1, kicking herself due to the fact she died. With that warm up done she launches a real online match, going with team deathmatch to start.



Realizing she doesn't have any game time snacks at the ready Crystal runs to the kitchen area real quick. Grabbing as many bags of chips and sodas as she could carry, the doll rushes back to the console. Apparently she missed 1 minute of the game, standing there afk the whole duration of that minute. Plopping all her snacks down she grabs her Atari joystick and begins moving, thanks to a few extra button add ons she can sprint, crouch, switch weapons, aim, use utility, and use frags. How does she aim you ask? She has to hold down a button that prevents her from moving so she can aim as if she was playing a resident evil game.



Three minutes in and Crystal was already racking up a good amount of kills. Currently she hasn't died yet and she managed to take down 10 enemies. She was getting into the zone now, but she was also craving some Doritos. Quickly reaching into her pocket she drew a line on her face where her mouth should be, this line then opens up into a mouth allowing her to eat any of her snacks. Grabbing a bag of Doritos she pulls out a few chips with her weird grip using her fingerless hands, popping a few crunch chips into her new mouth. She looked at the score board real quick and noticed there was an enemy she hasn't killed yet, one who also had zero deaths and close to 10 kills. Seems she had herself a target, switching to her secondary Valois Revolver the search began for her target.

(1) Marik would rapidly press the Left trigger of his controller , swinging his knife into the back of yet another person. His mods kicking on as the kill was executed moments from another. 'Pental Kill!! your reighn of terror is unstoppable' came a deep and menacing voice from the walls.

(2)  The ratty haired old man would jump dropping the seventy two dollar controlar on the ground , "what the fuck was that?" he would mummble to himself. Marik knew that it was the announcer pack but he'd never heard that sound right behind his head and sound that realistic.

(3) Taking a moment to survey the room he would idetify the source of the sounds , a grenade would go off next to his character the sound of an explosion would emanate from the back of the room as his character died. 'wait this place has surround sound?!' he would think to himself as he made his way back to the couch.

(4) Picking up the remote he would hit 'X' causimng the respawn timer to kick about and speed up , "who the hell threw that grenade? DipeySnipey7780? what type of fucking name is that?" he would ask aloud to no one in paticular as he loaded back in.

(5) His character would hit the ground running , the sound of boots hitting mud filled the living room. One thing marik had to admit this gaming set up was fucking godly! 'i need to get me somthing like this back in hueco mundo' the thought was pushed to the back of his mind as he target appeared out the corner of his eye.

(6) Marik would begin whipping the controller sticks like they owed him money , taking off after the man swapping from his primary to his sidearm. Raising his Mauser pistol his would rapidly empty the whole clip into the enemy players back.

(7) Not wasting time or thinking much for that matter he would hit the slide button , sliding past the person he just shot the announcer pack mod going off in the background. 'YOUR AIM IS WICKED!!' ; marik couldnt explain it but the announcers pack was really pumping his seratonin.

(8) Which by its own logic baffled him as their where times..well most of...almost all of the time his sense of care , was dubious at best but things had changed since he was an vasto lorde. Ever since he became this soft skinned pink abomination he's started caring for many things and this game was one.

(9) His eye's darted around the screan for a moment as he got his ninth kill then out of knowhere , his character went limp. "What the fuck! who shot me?" he would mummble to himself as he scanned the screan for the psn that had downed him only to feel a new feeling he handt felt since he died.

(10)  His left eye would twitch in annoyance as the name 'CrystalCruiser' Popped up on his screen with a side arm displayed next to thier name. "so this bastard thinks he's gonna get one up on me huh lets see about that" he would mummble to himself as he leaned foward in his seat looking into the screan the plastic creaking as he squeezed the remotae waiting to respawn.

[Crystal Tokei]

This was Childs play, Crystal was chopping down any opponent who got in her way. Though the MVP of the enemies team sure was elusive, always seeming to escape from her view the moment she spotted him. If she had blood it would be pumping from anticipation right now, the idea of finally catching her prize. As she was continuing her search, three of the enemies popped up from behind cover. Thus the doll found her character in the game cornered and surrounded.



This didn't have Crystal worried though, even on her low pixel television set and 30 frames per second she knew this wasn't going to stop her. Flicking the stick left and right in under a second, the enemy to her left and right were dropped from headshots. Not wanting to give the remaining opponent a chance she flicked her joystick one last time, quickscoping the last enemies head. It didn't take long for all three bodies to drop, somehow the doll managed to push her console, tv, and control to the absolute limit allowing her to take down each one quickly.



Digging into the Dorito bag Crystal began munching on some chips, taking a sip from her soda every few mouthfuls. Pushing forward on the game she finally spotted her prey yet again, this time he wasn't going to escape. Using everything she's learned the doll pushed her character to play perfectly, dodging through buildings and trees she managed to keep this guy in her vision. Then the opportunity arose, a slight incline to her left separating from the path her target was going. Though this incline didn't make her lose sight of him, instead it gave her the high ground.



Using the hill she ran up Crystal did the only thing she knew was acceptable at this moment. Jumping from the hill she hit crouch and flicked the joystick to the left as hard and quick as possible. Immediately she would follow this up by waiting one half a second before hitting the fire button. The doll just did the one thing that proves your superior, she just 360 no scoped the man named DirtieBirdie.



Leaning back in her seat Crystal takes a victory munch and slurp, licking the Dorito powder off of her makeshift lips. Leaning forward she gets back into gamer mode, headshoting any enemy who walks across her path. When her ammo was low she would switch to stabbing with her weapon, thus the beauty of having a pistol with a blade on it. She was up to 25 kills by the time she noticed someone trying to follow her. If this guy thought they were sneaking up on her, with her wonderful vintage box television, her "perfectly" functioning Playstation 5, and her Atari Joystick, they had another thing coming.



Running into the nearest building Crystal immediately tosses down a mine, still moving forward until he reaches the opposite side of the building were another door was. Once at the other door she would flick her stick so she would now be facing where her stalker was. If the mine wasn't enough for him they were about to be surprised when she Strafes toward him faster than most people could normally move their character. Reaching where the opponent was she hits the crouch button going under his potential stab, instead the opponent would find they instead were stabbed. Following the usual routine to deal with those to cocky, she hits the crouch buttons a few times tea bagging the dead body before moving on to her next slaughter.

(1) "WHAT THE HELL!!" Marik would exclaim as he set his controller down on the couch , this motherucker had killed him and then tea bagged him. 'the balls on this guy!' marik thought to himself taking a well deserved snack break shoveling eggs and bacon into like a man thats been starved for months.

(2)  Leaning back on the couch he would load back in and start running once more , this time he was on the motherfucking hunt for CrystalCruiser. His pride demanded he atleast get one kill in. Sadly the universe had very diffrent plans for the rebelious teen like arrancar.

(3) Bolting and dashing through the area without any more care or restraint he soon found himself getting anihalated. The enemy team was sniping him from afar and the brazen ones where..."WHO THE FUCK KEEPS KNIFING ME!!" he exclaimed as he chucked the ps5 controller across the room shattering it against the wall.

(4) Standing up from the couch he would walk into the kitchen and pop open thier freezer where he would find a bottle of grey goose , not even grabbing a corckscrew he would raise the bottle to his mouth and but the cork and pull. He would smile as the cork came right out with a satisfying 'pop'.

(5) Hobeling back over to the couch while chugging the vodka he would damn near choke , he had some how died twenty six times while he was over in the kitchen drinking. "fuck , fuck where is the remote?" he would ponder to himself as he began looking around the room.

(6) Facepalming as he ca,e upon the remains of the shattered controlller , "you've gotta be fucking kidding me.." he groaned just as the announcer pack went off , 'YOU HAVE FAILED YOUR ALLYS!! TRY AGAIN' it chided in it's deep ominious voice that shook his gigai's insides.

(7) Not wasting time he began digging through the sofa cushions , looking in every cabnet he could attempting to find a new controller. Tossing movies and tv remotes aside. Untill he came upon it the left joystick drifted terribly but it still could work , "hopefully thsi works" he would mummble to himself.

(8) Clicking on the remote his character would begin moving again , albeit he was spinning like crazy , at this point marik just had to make it work and just began spamming the fire button as he twirled across the map shooting led rain. Sadly his team also had friendly fire on so yea he was getting kills...but they where the wrong type.

(9) His eye's darted around the screan for a moment pulling up the leader board , his stomach sank into his ass once he saw that the round was nearly complete. And this Crystal Cruiser dude was dominating the leader board with damn near fifty kills this round alone. "they have to be playing on pc this isnt fair" he would grumble as he started moving once more.

(10)  His left eye would twitch in annoyance again as the name 'CrystalCruiser' Popped up on his screen once more. "this motherfucker" marik would breath out as he set his controller down. "i spend more time in respawn now than i do fucking playing!!" he said leaning back and just giving a yell of frustration.

[Crystal Tokei]

Crystal was taking it easy this game, nobody was showing up that truly tested her skills. The worst was the guy she keeps knifing, which means she hasn't even felt threatened enough to pull out her primary gun. At some point he stopped moving, unsure what the player was doing she decided to get the point across to them. Every time he would respawn there she would be with her knife out, slashing him every time. If he wasn't going to move then she would farm him for points, like she cared if the player stepped away.



Putting her hand into the nearly empty bag of Doritos, Crystal pulled out a handful of chips before shoveling them into her makeshift mouth. If anybody was nearby in the shop, the only noise that would be heard between the clicking of buttons and sound of the game was the crunching of chips being eaten. Nothing tasted better than eating with a significant lead on the scoreboard. She was already reaching up to her 70th kill, slashing at anybody who was unlucky enough to get in her path to find Mr. AFK.



Twisting the cap off another bottle of coke Crystal took a long swig of the delicious liquid. Without this mouth she created the doll wouldn't be able to enjoy snacks and drinks like these, in fact after finishing off the first bag of Doritos she grabbed a Hershey bar from among her pile of snacks. It didn't take long for the soul living within the Childs toy devour the candy bar. While she ate her bar of pure sugar, she even managed to get three more kills taking her kill count up to 70 exactly.



Finally Crystal noticed her priority target begin moving. Though there was something strange about it, he was swirling in circles while moving straight forward. Clearly he must be using a faulty controller, or maybe he was done with tactical thinking, opting instead for a more unusual style of playing. There was one major flaw in this, while he was spinning the fire button must be being pushed. Soon enough he would finally begin getting more kills again, the problem is about half of those kills were his own team due to friendly fire.



Crystal couldn't help but form a creepy smile with her drawn on mouth, this was the moment she would use one of her favorite methods to beat someone. Holding down her frag button the character on the screen would start holding a blinking grenade. Anybody who plays Call of Duty games would probably understand which type of grenade she was using. Releasing the button her character would toss the grenade in an upward diagonal direction, facing towards DirtieBirdie.



Crystal took a celebratory chug of her coke, for her grenade landed exactly on target. Marik would start to hear a beeping, a beeping that began to get faster and faster until five seconds later his character would explode thanks to the sticky grenade the doll threw at him. She would then start running around again, slashing anybody who she spotted except for DirtieBirdie. That guy would get the sticky grenades now specifically reserved for him, thus he would explode twice more before that match would end. Apparently she was able to get a total of 100 kills while never dying once.



Happy with how that went Crystal decided it was time to switch to a different game. Closing out Call of Duty Vangaurd the doll would make her way over to the next game on her list to play, Mortal Kombat 10. It's been a little bit since the last time she launched this game, so she expected herself to be a little rusty. Deciding which game mode to play she finally landed on multiplayer. Clicking the button the words searching for game would pop up, sitting back she would enjoy a Twinkie from her pile of snacks.



Sure enough after Crystal finished eating the amazing cream filled snack a game was found. The best part was her opponent, the name DirtieBirdie was clear in the area holding the oppositions game tag. It seems round two must be played out on here, it's almost as if fate wanted them to 1v1 on something other than CoD Vanguard. Well, the doll was ready for this match considering she did used to play this game regularly. The problem was she didn't want him to win even one match in a game, even if she was rusty right now. Moving over to her prefered character she hit select, the announcers voice would sound of speaking the name Jason Vorhees Unstoppable.

(1) It is often said that pain is the road one must travel in the name of growth , and in the eyes of our lord and saviour kohai ; marik had suffered plenty. His nemisis had the gaul to invit him to another game an invatation he fool hardly had accepted.

(2)  The next hour of gamplay was the most agonizing and painful he had ever endured in his life , he went down the entire roster of characters. From the really good ones to the extremly bad ones settling on playing the alien which suited his quick playstyle.

(3) Playing as the alien had allowed him to win 3 out of fifty matches , weather the wins where out of pitty or from his ability to spam the tail attack and screen corner hugging. Was it an honorable way to play no not really , did he give a flying fuck about playing fair??

(4) After those beating no , he couldn't care less whoever 'crystalcruiser' was they need to go down and it was clear he was willing to go through the nose to get it.  All those years fighting for scraps where never as stressfull as the button mashing that was taking place in this moment.

(5) With a sigh he would open the messaging opetion on ps menu once the fatality where jason chops down his ooponet like a tree began to play. He qould begin typing a reply to the mystery player gritting his teeth lightly as he does so.

(6) 'fuck you guy all you know how to do is spam and be a dick , fucking nerd id destroy you in real li-' marik would stop himself as he saw the message "dear god i sound like  a jackass" he would sigh out as he began to back space the message.

(7) 'be a good sport , be a good sport' he would think to himself as he began to type up a brand new response that wasnt so toxic. 'sorry about the corner spam bro , gg you gave me the hardest game of my life hope we can play a game where i can atually win one of these days'

(8) With the message all typed up he would hit send and sit in silence for aminute before setting teh remove down. He would quickly saunter over to the fridge and flip open the door , the only thing inside the fridge being leftover taco bell he had two days ago.

(9) With a shrug of his shoulders he would grab the bag out the fridge and toss the contents in the microwave , his tsomach would surely kick his ass later bu that was a risk he was willing to make. Unlike those tea drinkiers in las noches he needed carbs in his diet.

(10)  While his food was heating up he would rumage through the cubords , till he found the old he was looking for a container with packs of cool aid. He would get to work making himself a pitcher his hummingbird instincts kicking in as he added 13 scoops of sugar.

This wasn't even a challenge, Crystal had just won the 49th match against this guy. Sure he managed to win three matches thanks to the Xenomorphs extremely long strike, that plus it's ability to lock someone in the corner by doing so makes it a real pain to face. Thankfully though, the Doll was pretty used to going against this character, sure she's a bit rusty but this match has gotten her back up to snuff.



Match 50 began and Crystal immediately started a combo that ensured DirtieBirdie wasn't going to escape. Sure enough his health bar was melting and before long the Doll put in the code for fatality, chopping him down the middle with Jason's machete. During this scene the chat box flashed showing her opponent had messaged her. 'Sorry about the corner spam bro , gg you gave me the hardest game of my life hope we can play a game where i can actually win one of these days'



How did Crystal want to respond to this? She wasn't sure if he was trying to be a good sport or if he was being passive aggressive with a hint of salt. Taking a moment to think a good game popped into her mind they could play. It's a bit weird only doing 1v1's on it but it's certainly possible. Clicking open the chat menu she sent him a message, 'Thx, how about we play something I haven't done much on? If you have it that is, Rocket League. We can do 1v1s for awhile on that.'



Satisfied with her response Crystal goes to grab more snacks, mostly chips of course. Dragging her snacks back to her spot the little Doll sets everything in easy to grab places, turning her attention back towards the TV screen. Picking up her Joystick she goes to the main menu and starts up Rocket League, for some reason she has a feeling DirtieBirdie is gonna accept this offer. While waiting she grab a can of diet Coke and start chugging it, right when the last drop is swallowed a large burp erupts from her makeshift mouth.



This noise startled her, causing Crystal to actually fall from her seat. She wasn't used to producing any kind of bodily noise, maybe this was a side effect from the Magic Marker? Picking herself up she climbs back into her stool, grabbing a bag of Lay's potato chip at the same time. Now that she's once again firmly in her seat, the Doll breaks open the chip bag and starts shoveling the delicious golden treasures into her face.

(1) Marik would sigh as he looked at the screen , he really didnt want to keep getting anihlated over and over. But he decided he would humor this other person after all they where being a good sport about the whole thing why not keep playing along.

(2)  He would begin typing away at the message board sending crystal a reply , 'rocket leuge? sure just let me download it might take a bit' he would send back to her in reply. Taking a moment to dive into the playstore and start downloading the game.

(3)While he waited for the game to download he would stand up from the couch and stretch , several audible cracks would echo from his gigai. As satisfying as they where he hated the fact his gigai was that of an old and decripid man.

(4) Making his way to the kitchen he would pull open the freezer and begin scanning for more food , settling on a big bag of pizza rolls. Popping them in the oven he would he would lean against the counter and let out a loud and aggravated sigh.

(5) He would begin wandering around the house while his pizza roles cooked , Making his way down the winding halls of the apartment he would find himself in what appeared to be a game room. He was taken aback for a moment as he examined the room.

(6) pin ball machines on the far wall and bevy of toy boxes sprawled about the room , he couldn't help but smile at all the toys but what caught his attention was a plastic whiffle ball batt. He would walk over to the wall it was hung on and take it off.

(7) He would give it a few test swings , a child like smile spreading on his face as he headed out the room resting the bat on his shoulder as he headed back to the kitchen. 'i might keep this' he would think to himself with a joyous smile.

(8) The timer on the over would go off as he re-entered the kitchen he would turn off the oven. Not bothering with the  oven mits he would pull the oven door open and grab the hot tray the pizza rolls where on. The smell of peperoni and silantro flooded his senses.

(9) once the bowl had been set up and the game downloaded he would begin playing and returning to his normally scheduled losing streak , although this time he would fall victim to the gamers rage and begin shouting and screaming at the tv.

(10)  This finale insult to his honor would be recive a very simply response as he was totally crushed once more , he would open up the messaging board and send a single message. 'i could crush you in real life this isnt fair' the message was winy and truly a show of no real sportsmanship or atleast his limits.

[Crystal Tokei]

Crystal was in very good spirits, her opponent for the day had gladly accepted the Rocket League invitation and was just waiting for it to download. Reaching into her chip bag the Doll was surprised to see the bag was empty. Not wanting to be empty handed she got up and grabbed another big bag, this is for those moments when victory is at hand. Popping the bag open she shoves a tiny handful of chips into her makeshift maw, crunching wildly on the bbq flavored lay's.



It seems Dirtiebirdie's game was finished downloading, so Crystal began the hour or so game of torment. Whenever they got the ball she wasn't far behind, ready to steal it. When they got a goal, she was already 5 points ahead. This was nothing short of a slaughter, it was clear she was experienced at this game and they were not. That didn't matter though, life wasn't fair and neither is Crystal's skills in items, including video games.



It seems Crystal's opponent has had enough of this beatdown, opting to use pathetic insults and words. Honestly, she wasn't in the least bit capable of fighting in real life right now. For some reason though, she felt the need to call him out on this. If he wanted to beat her down, she certainly wasn't one to stop that. Plus the concept of a stuffed doll being smacked around in public by someone angry at losing in a video game was funny.



Opening the chat box Crystal would miraculously begin typing with her old Atari joystick. "No problem, that can be arranged. After all, life may be unfair but so isn't peoples opinions. You can find me at [Insert address of the spot in front of Kitai Shop]. I expect you to bring snacks, getting tossed around really makes me hungry." With that typed she happily sits back in her seat eating the last of her chips and drinking the last of her soda. She couldn't possibly win this fight, even with her Yo-Yo she's at to big a disadvantage. So she can absolutely advertise the shop a bit.


Finally hoping down from her seat Crystal sets out to prepare for dealing with this person. Grabbing stickers that say come to the Kitai shop as well as see Dollies Lemonade Stand. Placing them on herself while taking her own Soul Patch to insure everyone can see her for what's about to take place. Wiping the Magic Marker mouth off her face she heads to the front door of the shop, only looking back to nod gleefully at her gaming system.
