they should play let's go island 3d

[pickoffs]

[ it's probably a miracle all of their dates aren't spent at arcades, kazuya figures. it's annoying, honestly, because kuramochi plays enough video games you'd think he'd rub off (heh) some skill, or something. he gets dragged into playing often enough, anyway.

his whining aside, he knows kuramochi likes these places, or whatever, and he's bad enough at, uh, pretty much everything, so kuramochi gets a laugh out of it. there are worse places to be.

which puts them at the usual game center, when he has a day free. ]

I'm not getting my ass kicked at Mortal Kombat today. I'll play anything else, but not that.

[ laying down ground rules... he's going to regret this. ]

[ complains, complete with his most offended face: ] I don't actually want to lose!

[ and then he's paying attention to the screen. this premise is dumb, he's about to say, when all of a sudden there are, what the hell are those, pirates? he has to laugh. ] Haha, this is stupid... [ which he knows kuramochi knows, but he just thought he should mention it. he continues, voice flat. ] Gee, I wonder how she's gonna get the gun to shoot the stupid sharks...

[basesteal]

[kuramochi gives a "i don't believe you" look in response, but he doesn't say anything as he turns his attention to the game... or tries to.

thanks for your lame commentary, miyuki. kuramochi starts laughing under his breath because this game IS stupid.]

Just go along with it, alright? It gets better.

[pickoffs]

Well, it's not like it could get worse... right?

[ no one has told him about the stupid compatibility sequences.

he's getting the hang of things faster than he thought he would, which is probably because this game was designed with couples that are around for fun in mind. he curses half under his breath when his aim is a little off, leaning closer to the screen, heedless of any air jet 3d experiences to come.

(it's his own fault for not reading anything on the machine.) ]

takes a month to tag back...

[basesteal]

[sorry miyuki, kuramochi's not really putting his all into the game just quite yet because how you've quickly got engrossed into the game. besides it's still the beginning and it's not that hard...

so kuramochi's not exactly shooting at the targets and instead snickering under his breath.]

you're safe it's only three weeks

[pickoffs]

[ he notices kuramochi is slacking off all of a sudden, mostly because he's realizing how full the screen is getting with crabs and whatever, and looks sideways to tell kuramochi he sucks. his eyes narrow, and he opens his mouth to whine complain right before a jet of air hits him in the neck, and he squawks, drawing back from the screen and looking something like a disgruntled cat. ]

Shut up--

[ declared before anyone even says anything, and he's going to back it up with his shoulder bumping against kuramochi's arm. ]

[basesteal]

[and that reaction earns a burst of laughter from kuramochi. he has to let go of the controller so he can properly support himself while laughing out loud.]

Did you just squawk??? That's so lame!

[and he'll keep laughing as he tries to go back to focusing on the game...

only to start cracking up again and miss his targets. he wouldn't care if he gets called that he sucks at the moment, that reaction from miyuki was a little too much.]

[pickoffs]

Shut up...

[ whined like that's ever stopped kuramochi, ever, and punctuated with another bump of his shoulder. he's still technically playing the game, but he's as bad as kuramochi. ]

Why didn't you warn me?!

[basesteal]

[hey, miyuki's the one who's always snickering at him, it's nice for it to be the other way around once in a while.]

And kill the fun? No way, man.

[it was a good laugh, so he'll finally go back to focusing on the game. oops, they got hit a little too many times, even he wouldn't be able to go through the entire game with this low of a health. but it's okay, he's not here to clear games but instead here to have fun.]

Look at that, we're both so shitty at this game! [and gives his usual "Hyaha!" laugh following that.]

[pickoffs]

[ pouting... but then he looks at the screen, and laughs, shoulders shaking a little. ]

Hahaha, the truth comes out! Mr. Video Game Master is as bad as I am.

[basesteal]

Pshh, only 'cause you suck so much!

[ okay, okay... time to focus on the game so they don't end up getting a game over too quickly. he gives a breath out to get his laughter out of the system, and gets into a slightly more serious mode to start shooting at the monsters at the screen. ]

[pickoffs]

I could have sworn you liked me for sucking...

[ breezily and shittily said in passing as he starts to (try and) focus. he's getting better at this ridiculous game, at least. handling the controls is obviously helping. ]
