[suchselfishness]

[ When the device turns on, the sound of ~victory music~ is in the background, some video game theme song on joyful repeat to declare that it's been defeated. Rhode, however, doesn't seem overly pleased; with a blanket up to her chest, a Plaguestation controller in one hand, and a small pout on her face (and a lollipop sticking out of her mouth),

You can't go to the mall yourself?

[he feels bad for your cat, Rhode]

... I'm not supposed to get up and walk around yet. [ And it hurts like a son of a bitch to even try, but she's not going to broadcast that to Enma, of all people. ]

Then wait.

[Fight me. B(]

Beg your pardon.

[ Boy, you got some nerve. ]

[Peering over your shoulder, humming.]

They just don't make games like they used to, mm?

[suchselfishness]

[ Hugging her cat right under her chin, and not letting go. At least the cat looks okay with this situation. ]

I've had this one since Kuroro got it for me. I just didn't think it would be done so quickly, after it took so long to play the rest...

[karmafree]

Some are short on the pretense of playing it again.

[suchselfishness]

Well, I don't want to play it again right away. Any of them.

[stridertime]

Huh. You mean they have video games here? For some reason this actually struck me as odd. [Not really. He's just wondering if the games here are the same as home now.]

Why don't you just ask someone to get them for you. Just give them the money to pay for it and maybe their troubles. Like a delivery person or some shit like that.

[suchselfishness]

Mm-hm. Lots of them. [ She seems rather pleased by the fact; they haven't even been invented in her world, yet, and won't be for a long time. ]

I don't know if there are any delivery people here. Couriers or whatever they're called now.

[stridertime]

Just ask someone. I'm pretty sure there's enough people around this place who'd be willing to do it as a quick random job or something. Fuck if I know.

[suchselfishness]

Hmm.

Would you be one of those people~?

video forever;

[pinknomnom]

What's a roleplaying game? Is it any fun?

same!

[suchselfishness]

It's where you play the game as a character. Control their little digital figure as they run around and kill things.

sorry for the slow!!!!

[pinknomnom]

That sounds really fun! But what's digi-tall?

NP!

[suchselfishness]

Fake, but on a screen. I guess the machine makes the picture and puts it onto the television, somehow, but it's not a picture of a real person...

Mary works as a nurse, so Rhode can recognize her if she wants.

[fortunetelloli]

If you want me to pick you up something, I could drop by. I was going to go to the mall anyway soon. You'll just have to give me an idea of what to get, since I don't know much about those games.

Alrighty~!

[suchselfishness]

They're awfully fun, that's all you really have to know... [ She pauses, trying to think. ] I don't really know what they have.

... Would you still go if you had to ask the clerk to show you their most exceptionally violent roleplaying games?

Video, btw! /derp

[fortunetelloli]

[She laughs, giving Rhode a mischievous look. The sort that says she'll be happy to just because she probably shouldn't.] I don't mind at all!

/video forever!

[suchselfishness]

[ Oh, really? Rhode didn't expect that, but she won't argue. ] Perfect~ If you want to buy a few of them, that would be lovely.
