Day Three: Thursday.
Third Challenge: Gaming/Watching a Movie
Content Warning. A swears a lot.
And it's likely the author is going to add to it.
She was lazy, alright.

“Babe, I am
going to introduce you to the world of video games.”
“…what? Matt,
I’m working on something.”
“Just come here!
I’m going to show you how to play one of my favorite games.” She was going to
refuse him if she could. That pleading look on his face was just irresistible
and before she knew it, she was sitting next to the man, facing the TV screen
and his hands eagerly holding on to the PlayStation 2’s controller. “The title
of this game is Fatal Frame. It’s the second game in the series, and is the
best one yet.”
“What do you
even do in that game? Is it like…Gears of War, or something?”
“It’s far from
it. You’ll see.” He turned to her and grinned. “Just so you know, I’m not
letting you get up and leave once we start.” At that, he loaded his game and
started playing. “Which is now.”
Arianne suddenly
felt regret at her decision.

Matt snickered
at his girlfriend’s current expression, which was burying her face into a pillow
she had gotten from the couch. Whenever she looked up, she would swear and hide
once more, or actually watch for a few minutes before freaking out and hiding
once more. Either way, it ended with the same result, which was her hiding her
face and swearing at the same time.
“Babe, you’ve
gotta look up soon or you’ll miss the full effect of it!” he urged, battling
out a ghost at the same time. She did look up, but sent him a frosty glare.
“Matt.”
He paused. “Yes,
baby?”
“Kill that son
of a bitch before I do.”
Matt hesitated, and then nodded, putting on his best poker face as he played. Throughout, he cringed and grumbled under his breath until he beat the ghost, sighing in relief. "Babe, I'll have a smoke. The save spot is the lantern a couple of feet away, you should see it glowing red." she merely nodded and Matt kissed her cheek, getting up to have a smoke in the kitchen, under the exhaust.
She controlled the main character (Mio, was it? she thought with a frown) and saved the game, then made the Japanese girl walk around for a few moments when the worst happened. The filament on the bottom-right corner of the screen glowed red.
"...shit."
Mio stayed rooted on the spot, and Arianne panicked.
"Shit, shit, shit, shit, shit!"
The next thing she knew, Arianne was yelling bloody murder at the television screen as she battled to the death - even though the ghost was harmless (compared to the ones Matt had defeated) and had only little health.
The ginger nearly got a heart attack upon coming back and seeing nearly all his Type-14 film wasted on a mere ghost. He gave Arianne a frown, and the woman merely scowled and crossed her arms.
"Her neck was broken."

It was safe to say that after the event, Arianne gained an irrational fear of the supernatural and people with broken necks.
~EXTENDED ENDING~
"Jesus fucking Christ can't you get some good film these days? EAT TYPE-61, BITCH."
Matt's blue eyes widened. The coffee he had nearly crashed to the floor.
"Almost - almost - almost! You son of a bitch. I enden wird dich, du Stück Scheiße."
Matt slowly stepped out of the room and contemplated if introducing his girlfriend to video games was really a good choice. Another swear was yelled, and he pinched his temples. For a detective-slash-police-agent who faced literal bloody murder every single day, it only took an animated ghost to faze her.
