She was faster, breathtakingly so, but Flynn had a thousand years more experience. It made them an even enough match, neither able to gain much ground on the other. It didn't matter how subtle a trap was if the target could leap clear before it triggered, and it didn't matter how fast you were if your opponent had foreseen your strategy and blocked your path.

So they rampaged merrily up and down the virtual length and breadth of Sacrosanct's computer systems in a bloodthirsty yet bloodless game of hacker tag. Flynn didn't know what Kusanagi's motivation was. Boredom, perhaps. She was young (but who wasn't, compared to him) and probably accustomed to more excitement than the station provided. His own motivation he understood quite well: the sheer joy of a contest of skill with no stakes whatsoever. He'd been playing a game where the fate of worlds hung in the balance for far too long, and in a match where the consequence of losing was a mocking network post, Flynn couldn't manage to work up an emotion more serious than amusement.

When he finished the count on his beads, Flynn rose from his morning meditation and checked the damage from the night before. Sure enough, she had come crashing through his painstakingly-constructed code with a hatchet, or the digital equivalent thereof—because she could, as near as he could tell. Early on, he'd noticed that her preferred tactic was to slip in and out without raising flags, so Flynn had started pulling the holes small enough that she couldn't squeeze through undetected any more. Kusanagi had simply switched to blowing through like a tiger through a rice paper screen, in a glorious gesture of contempt for all his hard work.

Flynn tsked and started repairing his code with a smile tugging at his lips.

This needs to happen in-game.

It can glitch out people's stuff and be a game-wide event, even. That'd be fun?

Flynn's not likely to take anything that far. He's too considerate. :T
