Hip Young Things

Dahlia has had different jobs throughout the years. She once worked as one of those people who tests out the latest and greatest video games that come out on the market. She got all kinds of perks that go with the job too, and because she was friends with someone who works a little more in depth in the industry, she got even more free perks. Dahlia also has a thing for bad puns, and would call that old job the reason why she was so perky back in her college days.

One of the games that she once had the pleasure of testing was the original Silent Hill. Incidentally, she loathed the movie as it was not true to the original in many ways. Dahlia is a huge fan, especially because on of the main characters actually has her name, the mother of Alessa Gillespie. For Halloween, she dressed up as the character even though no one knew who she was supposed to be: the game had yet to be released yet. She kind of misses the old days before she got what she calls her real job now in management training program.

She still does play video games still but not for pay. Dahlia collects old consoles too. She has them in her office on the walls as decoration. Most of them still work too. We actually met in college because I had the same job as her before I also got my real job. We still get together every Friday night to play some old school games like Mario Brothers. I’m a Luigi fan whereas she is a Mario fan. She gives me endless insults for my taste in the famous video game duo: Luigi is supposed to be the lesser of the pair even though I know better. I joke back that my job in organizational development is better than hers in the same way she teases me about my love of Luigi. We actually work in the same company, but in different parts of it. I actually put in Luigi’s Mansion into one of the consoles for a joke. It took her a week to find it, but only a second to figure out who had done it.
