This time it's closer, but Vince still gets owned by over 300,000 points. It's like you are moving in slow motion. "Guess you mutants are just too slow," Matthew says with a smirk. "Get lost. I need someone with skill. Maybe a trained monkey or something." "Hah, sure, if you got a hundred bucks to play. I've already wasted my time with the brain-dead goat-boy." About 30 kids watching the event gather together quickly and come up with the money for you. The girl who gave Randall the patch hands holds it. Matthew looks suspicious. "Gonna chicken out now?" she says, holding the money in her fist. "I'll deal with you after. Let's go mutie," Matthew sneers at Randall. Randall feels... wierd. It's kind of like a supreme sugar rush right in his brain. He attaches his headset and the game starts. The action moves faster than anyone but Vince can see and appears evenly matched. Randall is sweating profusely though, while Matthew seems at relative ease. RandallYou see things much more clearly. You can react with insane speed mentally and perceive what Matthew is going to do about half the time before he even does it! Back in the room Suddenly the points swing in favor of Matthew and it looks to Vince like Randalls space fighter has slowed down. Randall notices it too, in fact his whole game seems sluggish and he can't figure out why. Vince looks around and notices some things aren't right. Randall also notices things aren't right when something starts tickling the back of his neck. Vince gets a successful spot check and his 19 succeeds against all three things he sees. Randall gets a successful opposed roll versus someone trying to pilfer his patch. He sees smoke starting to rise up out of the base of the game; probably not a good sign. A thin kid has snuck up behind Randall and is sneakily doing something to the back of his neck. Matthew has something in his hand he's playing with and it looks like some sort of electric gadget. Little sparks, barely noticeable with the game action going on, seem to be drawing power out of Randall's headset into the gadget! And oh crap, Randall's attention is diverted by the game, and Vince has no illusion. A few kids are staring, but most are just paying attention to the game. Kids are cheering on Randall. Randall's game keeps slowing down.</blockquote>
