[soft_focus]

....That sounds boring...

[chocolaterazor]

To each their own, but you haven't tried it either... since you can't fit.

[soft_focus]

....I can't play any of the games like that... ....not even the race ones, [she mutters with a grumble.]

[chocolaterazor]

[A shrug. That's so far from being Sora's problem to be worth caring about.]

[soft_focus]

Do you only like that one though? [she has to ask, frowning. Not very easy to tag team, that...]

[chocolaterazor]

It's the only game that's done a good job of keeping my interest so far.

[soft_focus]

....

....how many others did you play...

[chocolaterazor]

[Dismissive wave.]

A few.

[soft_focus]

[Her expression says it all, but-] ...how do you know none of the others might be fun then?

[chocolaterazor]

Is that what you think I just said?

[Clearly this is where these two are now, trying to one-up each other in dry snark.]

[soft_focus]

[Oooogh! She bristles, fiber optics going red.]

I just want to be able to PLAY the games with you if you're staying..!

...At least then, if we do things we both like, I don't have to think you're going to do something bad instead..!

[chocolaterazor]

[This girl keeps trying to guilt trip him and Sora swore to himself that she won't melt his icy heart.]

Sure we can play a game, but after a round of that I'm going back to the house.

[soft_focus]

....We have to find one you like first. One I can play with you.

[chocolaterazor]

You know the selection better than I do.

[soft_focus]

I don't really know more about that one game though...

[Hrrmnn well.] ....What games did you really not like?

[chocolaterazor]

The monotonous ones. Where the only concern is shooting the most targets for some high score or doing a single task until the difficulty's cranked up too high to realistically accomplish it.

[soft_focus]

Oh.

[.........................] ...That's a lot...

...But...it's not any of the other things? You're okay if it's not a scary game?

[She's not really sure a lot of co-ops are scary, see.]

[chocolaterazor]

It doesn't need to be scary, just pick.

[soft_focus]

It has to be right though! [She protests, huffing. Eventually though, she sighs, and pulls Sora off to one simple stand-and-play box with two sets of buttons and joysticks.] ...We can play this one then.

[Unspoken: you better fucking like it, buddy.]

[chocolaterazor]

[And so the game's story begins with a blurb that long ago in a distant land, there was peace and harmony in the Chitin Kingdom until an evil spirit appeared- kidnapping the beloved Princess Puddling while spreading its smoke of darkness. And the only ones who could save the day was none other than...

The Kama Krew!]

Cute. [Sora chuckles.]

[soft_focus]

So you'll like it? [They haven't started the game yet, Reira.]

[chocolaterazor]

Pick your character Reira, we're not even in the first level yet.

[He'll just uh.. randomly pick this Kama Krew brother.]

[soft_focus]

[Reira's going with the sister then. This must be why it's crew and not brothers or something.] ...Is there a difference between them, I only ever played with the first one....

[Green jumps farther no]

[chocolaterazor]

You're asking me?

[Anyway, figuring out the simple controls for a second and okay they're in business.]

[soft_focus]

[Oh! And the music is so bouncy...well. One button seems to be bouncing, the other seems to do...ducking? It's the best she's got. The weasels move pretty easily side to side with the joystick at least.] Mnnnm.... ....so, I guess we share the screen...
