[chocolaterazor]

Exactly that one.

[soft_focus]

...I'm too tall for that one, [She admits, chewing her lip.]

...What's it about?

[chocolaterazor]

You're a night watchman working at an amusement park. And over the course of four nights need to keep the monster robots out from your office until dawn.

Or else you're dead.

[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.]
