Chapter Text
It sounds narcissistic and egotistical, but she was just too good, nobody could even challenge her in the slightest. Maybe that’s why she started playing at these odd hours. You’d only ever see the strangest people playing around these times, take for example this guy on the enemy team. With a name like, ‘HAIRYG00CH’ you couldn’t expect anything sane to come out of his mouth.
[HAIRYG00CH]: do you guys shave your bush
[bnuuy]: ???
Well, she wasn’t expecting that to be the first words out of this guy. Sure, she didn’t expect anything good, but she also didn’t expect that. Truly, this was the way to go with entertainment. She didn’t need to lose, or be challenged if somebody like this was in every match she was in. Not like she’ll be answering that question, though. Even if she did giggle a little.
[bnuuy]: is this harassment
[bnuuy]: can i report u for this
[HAIRYG00CH]: nooo omg pls no
[HAIRYG00CH]: js kidding
[HAIRYG00CH]: ill always come back, you cant report me
Now what could that even mean? Was this some little boy trying to seem invincible? Or maybe this was a reference?
[bnuuy]: r u the purple guy
[HAIRYG00CH]: what
‘Right, usually people don’t get your niche references, Hana.’ She had to remind herself, FNAF wasn’t mainstream anymore, especially since it was so old. Even if it was a legend back in the days. So she says, but she wasn’t even alive back when FNAF was in its heyday.
The countdown was starting as Hana lamented over the fact that no one got her reference.

The doors opened and Hana launched herself forward out of the spawn room. Leading the charge as a tank. She’d consider herself pretty flexible, but she quite enjoyed playing tankier, brawl characters. She turned around once just to ensure her teammates were pushing with her. Her fists slammed into armor. Shields cracked. The enemy tank refused to move, but neither did Hana. She held the line until her health bar dipped into the danger zone. Seeing no healing, she turned around and found her supports dead. Quickly, she thrusted off away from point to find a health pack and wait for her team to respawn.
[HAIRYG00CH]: still counting?
‘Wow, really? Trash talking barely even 30 seconds into the game. This guy has no life!’ Hana was rolling her eyes, but couldn’t contain her smile.
[HAIRYG00CH]: backing up?
[HAIRYG00CH]: that was quick
This was elementary trash talk, she knew how to do better! Nobody would mald to that. Hana was true to her word and kept waiting instead of rushing off alone. Though, maybe she should target him just for fun. She tabbed to check what hero Gooch was playing, and it seemed to be a flanker, no wonder her supports died. Hana was only playing for fun tonight. Or, technically, this morning. That was why she had turned her audio down. Hana wasn’t going to counter-swap though, that would imply she lacked skill, and she had everything if not skill.
She spotted Gooch stalking around, jackpot. Hana thrusted forward, pinning Gooch against the wall, insta-killing him.
[bnuuy]: ?
She was sure Gooch was to respond well to that. She chuckled to herself, messing with trolls was always fun. Quickly, she made her way back to her team, even though it’s quickplay, she wasn’t going to throw just for her own silly matchups against Gooch.
[HAIRYG00CH]: why r you chasing
[HAIRYG00CH]: ooo you mad
She wasn’t mad! She was the opposite of mad! The implication that she cared enough to get angry over quickplay was a little aggravating, she didn’t want to be seen like that! Even if it was on her alt, but replying would make it seem like she was mad, gosh! Ugh! But not replying also makes it seem like she’s mad! Stuck between a rock and a hard place...
Hana wasn’t going to chase after Gooch anymore, even if her ego is telling her to continue. She would rather be unresponsive than tilted. Focusing on the point, minutes pass without a word from either of the two. Though, that streak gets broken.
[HAIRYG00CH]: still thinking?
[HAIRYG00CH]: figured you'd have something clever to say hahahhahaha
[HAIRYG00CH]: guess not :)
Hana’s face was scrunched up with a small smile, it was irritating but still funny, considering she was winning. Who trash talks when they’re losing? She wasn’t going to deign him with a response.
None of his flanks were working now, Hana was more observant of her team after the first time. Whenever he died, Hana felt a little spark inside her telling her to trash talk him back, her ego was being fed even without her seeking him out. Though that wasn’t often, because even if his flanks mostly failed, he still didn’t die for the most part. He knew when to disengage, and genuinely seemed like he knew what he was doing. Hana had to give Gooch props for that at least.
[HAIRYG00CH]: you keep looking back hahaha
[HAIRYG00CH]: paranoid
‘How the hell is he watching so closely...’ She turns around again, but doesn’t see Gooch. Where was he hiding? She wasn’t going to chase but she pays close attention to her surroundings. Her team needed her to stay, she was the only tank.
[HAIRYG00CH]: im not there heh
[HAIRYG00CH]: cant you hear me conejita
Upon recognizing that sound was in fact a feature of the game, she turned up her volume and did in fact hear footsteps right next to her. Jeez!
[bnuuy]: yeah i can hear ur big back
[HAIRYG00CH]: yo not nice :rage:
[bnuuy]: no fckin way u type out the emojis im crine
[HAIRYG00CH]: and what if i do :smirk:
For some reason, that was getting on her nerves. She felt itchy whenever Gooch spelt out the emojis. It was small irritation, but irritation nonetheless. She’d never admit that Gooch actually got on her nerves. She didn’t have time to dwell on this, though, the next team fight was already starting. Hana doesn’t exactly hear it amongst the chaos, but Gooch slips away. Reappearing in his backlines.
?!
How’d she let him get away! He was literally right besides her, she had hit him! Had she not? No, the hit marker had shown up! He was just too slippery, wow. Normally you couldn’t slip away from someone next to you. It seemed Gooch could, he was better at the game than he let on, from all that trash talk Hana would’ve thought he was way~ worse.
[HAIRYG00CH]: hahahahahahaha
[bnuuy]: ???????
This little blunder on her end didn’t stop her team from winning. The ending screen played and before Hana could type anything, another message from Gooch appeared.
[HAIRYG00CH]: ggez :cool:
[bnuuy]: u didnt even win bro
[HAIRYG00CH]: u reporting me yet
She leaned back in her chair, watching the highlight play. The absurdity of what had just happened didn’t pass by her. But it left her wanting to play again. What a weirdo.
