Who: anyone
When: Day 53, evening
Where: the lounge & dining car

[So there were no nice breakfast and video games this morning, but there is a nice dinner and video games this evening!

Francis has made pizzas from scratch -- enough for everyone to have a few slices. They're all vegetarian, for obvious reasons! Those are laid out on the tables in the dining car, so have at.

Upstairs in the lounge the TV has been hooked up to a console that looks like a Switch with the serial numbers filed off and a lot of sparkles. Your game options are, essentially, Mario Kart and Smash, only... all the playable characters are just the Heroes themselves, including past characters you may remember!

This is friendly PVP go punch your video game self in the face.]

Which game is that?

[ It should be noted that the Felix character sure has a pretty set of black angel wings, although Felix himself appears to have none at the moment. His character also sports a glowing purplish-black rapier. ]

[ absolutely, 100%, taking a note of that, even if she isn't saying it aloud ]

Any equivalent of Mario Party.

That one sounds familiar but doesn't seem to trigger any super negative reactions.

[ Not that he can remember playing games with anyone. Maybe that sister he supposedly has? ]

Well, it's one of the games that does it. . . although there's plenty of non-video games that do, too.

It really sucks when you remember video games but can't remember playing video games. Just another of this world's cruel jokes.

Anyway, split milk and all that. Let's take this one for a spin!

Well, that's why you just have to make more new experiences!

Alright, but I don't plan on going easy. I have played countless hours of this game, after all.

I'd be insulted otherwise. What's the point without the challenge?

Exactly!

So get prepared to get down-B'd. Although I hope I can figure out which characters are good for my playstyle. . .

I'm going to play Dusk.

Hmm. . . I don't know anybody well enough to play yet, so maybe I should go with 'random'?

You could also try yourself.

I highly doubt I'd even be a good character to play, I'm very much a non-combatant.

Maybe it gave you special skills. Oh, I know! You can be 80H. She's kind of an all-around specialist.

. . . I hope it didn't.

I'm well known for my non-special skills.

[...]

An all arounder, huh. That would probably be pretty good for a beginner.

What do you mean known for your non-special skills?

Like. . . knowing a lot of trivia?

Oh yeah? Hit me.

Heliophobia is 'fear of the sun' -- for example.

Is that a vampire thing?

It probably can be, but not necessarily. The vampires generally don't like the sun because of the traditional "my body will perish" not because of some unexplainable fear. Unless they're like, a sunwalker vampire? Twilight or some shit.

Sunwalker vampires are totally cheating.

They might be, but so much media has them that I can't just not mention them.

Fair. Okay, now that we've spilled your hidden talents, time for butt-kicking.

Sure is time for it.

[ even if it'll take her a bit to figure out the controls, she knows the basics of smash since she plays Ultimate quite a bit with the others back where she's from and isn't half bad so that's pretty much a non-issue ]

[ He may not remember playing video games but the skills are definitely still there, as is the button-pressing speed and penchant for combos. ]
