Thank you
Don't worry about it

[Sometimes you accidentally say a dumb thing, he's heard worse.]

[sangreine]

You'd think I'd know to think about these things, after all the completely ridiculous vampire stuff people come at me with.

Anyway, the arcade is probably closest, so that's first.

[gemuinemanagement]

You probably have it worse
Because most people don't think that vampires exist, so they can make up anything they want about them

The arcade sounds good
Let's go

[sangreine]

I'm not sure it's worse or better, just something people tend to do. You're probably used to it the same way I am, but it's still not fun. So I'll be more careful in the future.

[ Making their way to the arcade, then! She points out some things along the way like conbinis and buildings Bad End has vandalized in various ways. ]

[gemuinemanagement]

[Following along and paying attention!]

I'm mostly used to people saying rude things on purpose
Which is different

[sangreine]

I guess there are that sort of people on every world, huh? I'm sorry you had to deal with that.

[gemuinemanagement]

It's alright
Everyone here has been very kind to me so far
So it's better now

[sangreine]

I'm glad to hear that. It's the same for me, people here have been much more accepting than my home world. I was pretty lonely, at least in all the memories I've recovered so far.

[gemuinemanagement]

Hades told me we were blood brothers now in the first hour of me being here
It was a little overwhelming

[Robin cried on him but it's fine? It's fine.]

[sangreine]

Sounds like it. That's really sweet of him, though. For so many people here their unit is like a family.

[ definitely fine, she'll be jealous on her own time ]

[gemuinemanagement]

It's nice
I haven't had so many people being kind to me in
Ever, really

[sangreine]

[ she didn't need her heart or anything ]

I can only hope it'll happen often enough here that you'll get used to it. You're a really kind person despite how you were treated.

[gemuinemanagement]

[...turning bright red.]

Thank you

[sangreine]

[ oh no he's the cutest ]

There's the arcade now, so you get a reprieve from my complimenting you for a bit. Do you like any specific kind of games?

[gemuinemanagement]

We don't have an arcade in our village
At home I have a couple of RPGs
But I'd like to learn how to play other games

[sangreine]

I'm good at the dancing games and skee ball, the driving and flight simulators are fun, a friend taught me a trick to the claw machine, and the joystick games...

I'm not great at those, but I have fun with them. You can feel free to snicker at me. So it's your call where to start.

[gemuinemanagement]

Let's do the joystick games
We can both be bad at them

[sangreine]

Perfect. Let's try... that one?

[ She's picked a game where the fighting is very cartoonish and not at all graphic like Donkey Kong or the like, just in case he wouldn't be into combat games where there's weapons and blood and whatnot. And as advertised, she's not great at it, but giggles her way through. ]

[gemuinemanagement]

[They both suck, but Robin's having a good time with the cartoony fighting game! They're both evenly matched in that they don't know what they're doing.]

Best of three?

[sangreine]

Deal! But you'd better not be hustling me. [ Her elbow budges his arm very gently to punctuate that she's joking. ]

[gemuinemanagement]

We aren't playing for money, are we

[Isn't that a requirement to hustle somebody...]

[sangreine]

[ Any time you mess with someone's head to beat them is a hustle in her book. ]

It's just a joke. If we were playing for points I'd have picked something where I don't press the wrong button at least half the time.

[gemuinemanagement]

I know which buttons attack and I just hit those ones a lot

[sangreine]

I always jump when I want to attack and vice versa. It just takes practice, I guess.

[gemuinemanagement]

I never understood why people jump so much in fighting games
I don't jump in real life while I'm fighting
