Mingle Post - Game time!

*There seems to be a new room in the Mall. It's a giant game room, filled with tables of all kinds. Many of them look like card tables, though rather than physical cards there are multiple computer terminals - it appears everything is electronic

(Wii) Bowling!

[adarkerangel]

*At one of the many widescreen video game setups in the back, you'll find Mastema, looking at the instructions for Wii Bowling on the screen. Care to join him?*

[1ere_femme]

My, my, look who has crawled out of his little hidey-hole... *A tall figure is sashaying toward Mastema.*

[adarkerangel]

...Lilith. *The corner of his ever-present half-smile twitches downward for a split second.*

[1ere_femme]

Lady Lilith to you. *She looks down at the game.* I didn't know you were into these modern games...

[adarkerangel]

And why not? *Mastema idly clicks over to the next page of instructions.*

Usually angels are not big on technology.

[adarkerangel]

I have seen my own abilities combined with human technology to produce a successful result. Technology, when used responsibly, can benefit all.

[1ere_femme]

Is this responsible technology?

[adarkerangel]

It depends on the manner in which it is used. By itself, this is harmless technology. There is nothing wrong with a bit of leisure time, after all.

But why not play actual bowling?

[adarkerangel]

Practicality. Having a simulation, while it may lose some of the "feel" of the original game, eliminates the need for a physical establishment, allowing the space it might have occupied to be used for something more practical. In addition, those physically handicapped in such a way that prevent them from performing the game normally may well still be able to play this game.

In fact... *He gestures to Lilith's hands.* I doubt hands structured such as yours could properly grip a real bowling ball.

[1ere_femme]

*Lilith wriggles her fingers.* You'd be surprised what my hands can do...

[adarkerangel]

Would I, now? A shame we lack a bowling ball to test this theory of mine. *Yes, he's well aware of what he's about to walk into. Mastema is pretty good at dealing with uncomfortable situations. At least, most uncomfortable situations.*

[1ere_femme]

*She looks down at him.* Are you challenging me, Mastema?

[adarkerangel]

What would I be challenging you to, pray tell?

[1ere_femme]

To prove that I do have a pincer grip, apparently.
