Personal Log #18 - [Action - All Day]

The Dome:

[One of the simulator doors is wide open for anyone to see inside, and for the most part, the room is empty... except for a tv, and a large couch; the back of which is facing the door. For anyone who knows the Vulcan well, they'll recognize the cap of neat, black hair sticking above the back of the couch. What will seem odd though are the sounds coming from the room...

...sounds, for those who would recognize them, that resemble something like video games from the mid eighties to early nineties.

If anyone dares to venture into the room and walks around the couch, they'll see the floor littered with games for the various consoles set up by the tv. Currently, Spock is engrossed with Super Mario Bros for the SNES, his eyebrows and mouth fixated in a scary looking frown as he navigates through the levels.]




[ooc: Spock has been gone for just about two weeks, and is now suffering under a inconvenient effect: he's addicted to video games. For those who would like to jump in on this, there are extra controllers. *hint hint*
Also, it's good to be back~ /hugs everyone/]

[Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Hang on a sec, Vulcan. Harry's gotta figure out the controller first.

Which... he does. Sorta. His kart veers off to the right.

Then the left.

Right again.

Circles. Twice.

Then takes off. Kinda. It's weaving a bit.]


Not even gonna take it easy on the new guy, huh?

[Harry's mouth sets into a thin line at that answer.]

No. Of course not.

[Just watch him, Spock. Just watch him. He can build a shuttlecraft from spare parts. He can pilot a virtual vehicle.

In a moment. After he figures out which button makes the damn thing quit spinning in circles.]
neverpromoted: (srsly working now)

Oh. [He hadn't even realized that he was doing it. Note to self: button mashing is not a good technique for Mario Kart. He fiddles with the controller for a few more moments before the kart finally straightens out and flies right.

Except he's way too far behind to make this run anything more than a practice run.]


I'm demanding a rematch.
blessingone: (so much better than all this)

Ah.

[She looks a bit awkward about the kidnapping thing -- she hadn't known he'd been gone and it's not really a pleasant thing to discuss, so she's glad for the distraction of the button instructions.]

This one to jump, this one to acceler -- huh? [The green squares aren't accelerating.... (Because she's not moving. It seems she thinks that pressing the button will make Luigi start rocketing off somewhere rather than speeding up movement already going on.

She shakes her head.]
It's not like I stay away from it, exactly. [Yes it is she got a blacksmith to make her a woodstove in exchange for her electric one and she does all the washing by hand.] I mean, I use the electric lights, and the electric icebox, and things like that. But it's easier to use the things I already know how to use.

[Oh... wait a minute, was Spock implying that he was just playing this game for fun?]

Surely you would embrace the chance to learn in any scenario. Why else would you so readily pick up a game that is unfamiliar to you and play it with so much enthusiasm?

[It is fun, a change from equations and mathematical formulae, a very... well, a very human pastime, she thinks, although humans in what she thinks of as her own time are not yet nearly as advanced.

Not much has changed about this, from Mizuno Ami who was always working hard to become a doctor, to the princess of Mercury who was always trained to become a guardian and a ruler. She has always carried responsibility on her shoulders like a heavy winter cloak.

When she finally completes the game, she seems to realize just how immersed she became, and she looks almost apologetically to Spock.]


Excuse me; I didn't intend to take so long. [By which she means she really should have intentionally died sooner, to give him back his turn. But she has a competitive streak, too, even as she is now.]

(and for fun, Ami's first video game)

[He huffs.] I wouldn't even have to try to beat you at something so ridiculous.

[He won't crush the controller if Spock doesn't CHEAT but will probably say he cheated even if he didn't]

[By pressing start, Lance activates his ability to choose his Pokemon.]

I do actually.

[And with that he begins to select them in short order. Dragonair, Dragonite, Charizard, Gyarados, Aerodactyl... uh... uuuh. Lapras.

He then looks to Spock and waits for him to choose his six.]
waterfell: (ami ♍ what is their goal?)

[That's the tricky question, really. After a second, Mercury decides to give the simplest true answer.]

I was told she is a 'different me'.

[As odd as it would sound elsewhere, in Luceti that's fairly common to encounter.]

[Eley takes a moment to respond. He seems to be looking at Spock rather strangely. Did he really just effectively tell him that he was just doing this purely for fun? And in a way that made perfect sense to him?

Well... was he having fun? He's not sure.]


I am certainly enjoying your company and am eager to learn more about these... box games. But... am I having fun? I am not certain. I am sure I will be, once we continue.

[Looking to Spock again, he notes the confusion in his eyes.]

Are you... all right?
innerdragon: (aheh heh)

[Action]

[personal profile] innerdragon 2014-08-08 04:09 pm (UTC)(link)
[Lance is looking pretty pleased with himself too.]

Well... not exactly. In my world we kind of... do this in real life.
misterbrief: (Hey you!)

[personal profile] misterbrief 2014-08-08 04:49 pm (UTC)(link)
[He stands there for a second. Looks at it. Sneers. And angrily snaps the controller out of Spock's hand. This is stupid but he refuses to take any shit from a Vulcan.]

[Against his better judgment, he sits down next to the man.]

Alright then, what is this stupid game you're playing.
