(There's the sound of music in the background. Not an ocarina, not a flute, not a lyre. It's Queen's "Another One Bites the Dust.")Don't have to get naked to have some fun in Sunde -- not that it hurts. Anyone like video games? Donkey Kong man, it's a classic. Came out when I was still just a gleam in some guy's eye

A game? How hard can it be?

[gamepatch]

Came out before they knew how to make things complicated too. I don't know what I'm thinking. Must be really bored.

So. Wanna play?

She is so going to regret this later.

[im_not_a_rookie]

Sure. It can't be that hard, right?

The cigarette dropped out of his mouth when she spoke up. 8)

[gamepatch]

I'm sure you'll catch right on. But I'll let you play it a couple of times first, just to get the hang of it.

[onhiswaydown]

Yeah, but will he quote the rates of other leading companies for me?

[gamepatch]

Probably not. You know they make it harder on us smokers, even car insurance.

[onhiswaydown]

Easy to get around that when you have someone else drive for you.

[gamepatch]

Damn, I should've thought of that. Maybe I would've actually bought car insurance.

(And Mello tries to lure in more suckers)

[mellogun]

What? Matt, you can't do that! What if they want you to do something perverted?

(He'll let him choose what the next one has to do.)

[gamepatch]

Damn, and I didn't mention any limits. But it's too late now Mello. A man's word is his bond.

(Mello thinks they should have to run for him in the Shin-Ra morning ones)

[mellogun]

Matt, you go and edit that right now! I am not losing my pillow for a fucking week!

(In something frilly.)

[gamepatch]

I'm sorry Mello. I can not bring myself to do that. I am a man of my word and what's done is done and...whatever else goes with that.

[michaeloffire]

What is a 'video game'?

[gamepatch]

Sorta like watching tv, only--you probably don't know what that is either.

Basically, you have this controller that you move in the direction you want a little character on the screen to go in. And buttons that you push when you want it to do certain things.

Sounds a lot harder than it is.

[michaeloffire]

I've seen it once or twice.

It doesn't sound difficult.

[gamepatch]

It's not.

So hey, it looks like Elena might own me for the next week, but what can I say. I just don't know when to quit.

You in?

(Sorry, she's just being a tease.)

[coy_smile]

A videogame?

(that's the Ada we know and love!)

[gamepatch]

Yeah. Hey Ada, wanna play?

(the Ada Matt chased up a tree...)

[coy_smile]

Play? I don't know. I'm not very good at videogames...

(....uh-oh)

[gamepatch]

I'll give you a few trial runs, just to get the feel for it.
