vidya game time

Who: Yosuke and Gilbert
When: Backdated to the 17th of March
Where: Arcade in the underground mall
Summary: Bros playing video games. Only one of them is probably any good at it.
Warning: Warnings for embarrassing DDR failure.

This place is too loud. Too bright. There are too many flashing lights that still confuse him and fill him with anxiety. But two years living in this 'modern' world and Gilbert still hasn't assimilated properly when it comes to all of this technology.

He's been in this arcade a few times before. The first time he'd left with a migraine that he thought would never go away, and the second time he'd embarrassed himself by tripping over a stray power cord and nearly shoving an entire rack of stuffed animals on a small child. He'd caught it before it could do damage, but he'd still fled and promised never to show his face in this place again.

But he can't say no to a friend either. Especially a friend who 1 - he owes, and 2 - wants to continue helping his antiquated way of thinking expand a bit more.

Luckily, no one recognizes him as he stands just inside the entrance waiting for Yosuke to show up, staring down at his feet and trying not to bump into anything or anyone.

Next month, huh? What day.

[Vrrr-err-rroooom! Right around virtual Gil, and over the finish line with a little crow that's both unnecessary and not very sporting.]

What next? A shooting game to puff your ego back up? Waffles?

[Yosuke smirks a little at that. Clearly, kick Gil's butt day has been a grand success. But yeah, sure. He owes the guy a few shreds of dignity back, so he nods and leads the way.]

Then we have a lunar cycle in common! Not that anyone counts it that way anymore, but you get the idea.

Yeah, you know. [He makes a sweeping gesture, like a big arch.] The moon never sleeps, right? She always makes the tides, and...um...in the sky, it does things. You know. Phase things. Gravity things too I guess. Closer and farther, light and shadow, stuff like that? It's what the calendar used to mean.

[Hopefully it doesn't sound quite as stupid as it sounds like it sounds.]
inthejunk: (maaaaan...)

[personal profile] inthejunk 2012-06-14 01:43 am (UTC)(link)
Never mind.

[It's like everyone else is from a different planet around here.]
inthejunk: (...Can I touch it?)

[personal profile] inthejunk 2012-06-14 07:09 am (UTC)(link)
[Because that's absurd, that's why. But Yosuke follows along cheerfully enough. Time to see Gil in action!]

[personal profile] inthejunk 2012-06-14 11:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Nah, I suck at these ones anyway.

[Besides, it gets in the way of his fanboying.]

[personal profile] inthejunk 2012-06-16 01:56 am (UTC)(link)
[Nod nod. He's never seen you fire a gun while he was sober enough to remember it later before, so this will be cool.]
inthejunk: (...Can I touch it?)

[personal profile] inthejunk 2012-06-17 04:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Woah.

[Badass enough, dude. Yosuke is sufficiently impressed.]

[personal profile] inthejunk 2012-06-21 08:13 am (UTC)(link)
[They had to eventually find a game he didn't suck at.]
inthejunk: (...Can I touch it?)

[personal profile] inthejunk 2012-06-22 10:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Look out! On your left!

>small>[You may not need the help, but have some anyway.]
inthejunk: (...Can I touch it?)

...HTML is hard okay

[personal profile] inthejunk 2012-06-24 12:58 pm (UTC)(link)
You know, there's a shooting range somewhere around here.

['Cause wouldn't it be even cooler to shoot a real gun and let him watch? Huh, wouldn't it?]
inthejunk: (...Can I touch it?)

srsly

[personal profile] inthejunk 2012-06-24 08:14 pm (UTC)(link)
It doesn't surprise me.

[Ooh, cool...]

So, when do you wanna go?
