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

[sangreine]

[ laughing a bit, because ]

I actually do jump a lot when I'm fighting. Flips and all sorts of things. It makes me hard to hit.

[gemuinemanagement]

That's impressive
If I did that I'd just land on my behind and make myself an easy target

[sangreine]

Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses. I'm pretty strong for my size, but I don't have good reach, so I have to move around a lot to get an advantage.

Being good at moving around and fighting with my body clearly doesn't mean a thing when it comes to this game, though. [ since she's getting creamed by whatever hilarious chomping enemy ]

[gemuinemanagement]

I think if being good at fighting and being good at video games were that closely connected
A lot fewer people would play video games

[They're probably both getting eaten by a chain chomp hazard. In his defense, it's really hard to write and play at the same time.]

[sangreine]

[ Ah well, game over. ]

I think I technically died before you, but not by all that much. Do you want to try something else, or should we move on? I'm really impressive at DDR. [ and is a show off, but she's willing to just head on out ]
