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/]

[The Vulcan shakes his head and pauses the game to look over at Eley.]

Perhaps learning is not the goal here.
[He doesn't know what he's saying...]

[winds_voice]

[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?

[spohkh]

[Spock frowned to himself. Why was he saying these things?]

The purpose... the purpose is perhaps for recreation only. To enjoy, and be with those whom you are playing with.

[Spock looks at Eley, a slight confusion in his eyes.]
Are you having fun, Eleytheria?

[winds_voice]

[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?

[spohkh]

I do not know.

[It was an honest enough answer, but Spock's attention on Eley veered back to the tv, and he started up the video game once more.
He couldn't stop.]

[winds_voice]

But you seem to be having fun yes? Or at least... you wish to have fun. Is that not a good thing?

[Sorry Spock, he's a little bit distracted from the game right now. He wants to know if you're actually all right here.]

[spohkh]

Fun is an illogical concept. To partake in an activity purely for enjoyment is a waste of time... it is... um...

[The Vulcan blinks... his hands lowering, the controller resting in his lap as he stares at the game over on the screen.]
