Stalking, Observation, WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE?!

[mad_copycat]

Tatsu has noticed that certain members of the Chalice have been acting strangely lately so it has been following couples with a notepad. It even goes as far as to spy on sappy moments between couples, writing notes the whole time with contemplative look on its' face. Anyone going to try and call Tatsu out/stop it?!

[[Gainer is easily in a public place, playing on his little GameStation 32X or whatever it's called.

He actually got back on it the moment they entered the atmosphere, picking up on whatever signal he could. And now, playing "OverBattler" he's talking smack to those in which he schools online.]]

Tatsu is drawn to this machine in great interest. Tatsu looks it over carefully to fully understand what its' purpose is.

[turningyaponese]

[[Gainer resumes playing his game. His hands move the little wireless controls while he hunches over staring into the visor. It's... actually not very interesting to just watch him play and not see what he's playing.

But wait! At this nearby terminal... on the screen! It's a vidja gaim!]]

[mad_copycat]

Tatsu watches the screen with great interest. This must be the purpose of the machine! But how is it working?! Tatsu watches Gainer and realizes that it must be him that is controlling it. Tatsu pushes a button on the controller to test this theory.

[turningyaponese]

[[Pushing the button makes one of the characters on screen flail about.

Worse, Gainer flips out too!]]. Hey! Stop messing with the controls Haro! Knock it off!

[mad_copycat]

Tatsu is surprised at this discover and wants to learn more. This results in Tatsu trying to steal the control from Gainer.

[turningyaponese]

[[Oh hell no!]]

Quit it already! [[And he finally lifts the visor. It blocks him from the outside world, yanno!]]

AAACK! What are you!?

[mad_copycat]

Tatsu ignores Gainer and takes the controller and starts to try and play. The sad thing is it has no clue what it is doing but is doing good as it is simply copying what Gainer was doing.

[turningyaponese]

[[And copying Gainer while not knowing what to do means you're going to ruin his FLAWLESS WINNING STREAK!

This isn't the plot point for that, so gimme back the controller!]]

Give that back you weird little lizard!

[mad_copycat]

Tatsu starts to run from Gainer while still playing the game. Even when chase Tatsu's focus doesn't waver and Gainer has to put in a LOT of effort to catch Tatsu as it is smaller and more agile than Gainer.

[turningyaponese]

[[Gainer's going to try at least. You're jacking up his game!

He'll be more mad if Tatsu loses that match. He'd better not be losing that match!

But let's see him navigate the menus without seeing them! Pursuit enabled!]]

[mad_copycat]

The thing is that Tatsu was built to have great focus even in battle situations. So even with Gainer chasing it, Tatsu is actually doing good for the first time it has played a video game, let alone this game.

this is his sad face icon too...

[turningyaponese]

[[Gainer hasn't played his trump card yet... Cuz if that little pokeyumans is still playing, and he quits... that goes on his record.

Not having that!

But Gainer is getting winded...

[mad_copycat]

Thankfully before Gainer can even attempt to quit, a miracle happens! Suddenly Tatsu fully understands the game and starts to dominate in every sense of the word and soon easily grabs victory~! Tatsu then takes a moment to look pround and hands the controller back to Gainer.

[turningyaponese]

[[Gainer is... thusly impressed, but... still snatches the controls back.

He'll never be better than the champ... But all the spectating losers are going to wonder why his style suddenly changed mid-battle.]]

Don't mess with this stuff. It's important technology. [[Assuming Tatsu doesn't even understand him, but... being babied all the same...]]

[mad_copycat]

For the first time through this ordeal, Tatsu realizes how mad Gainer was and shyly rubs the back of its' head like a child who just got scolded.
