[ oh right we have a game room. i forgot about the game room.
well. this is the games room. it's not that crow looks overwhelmed, but maybe actually he looks a little whelmed. it's very bright in here. ]
This is a step and a half up from Blade or Vantage Masters.

[ how could you forget about the game room
ichiro is sitting in one of the chairs, manspreading a little because of course, and playing what looks like super sm*sh brothers. looking up to see crow makes him start, at first, but he recognizes that it's crow and then gives him the sup nod of greeting, returning to his game. ] More of your ARC stuff or whatever?
It's two player. Wanna try?

[ my one braincell is overloaded and shaking in the corner.
please stop thinking he's samatiktok he can only take so many panicked double takes before his feelings will start to get hurt*
(* maybe) ]
Nah. Card games.
[ hmm. well. he'll take a seat. minus the manspreading, but with a little more leaning forward with the elbows on the knees. ]
Sure. You might need to explain the controller things a bit first, but I'll try anything once.

[ he's fetching another controller for crow, then! it's gamecube. vintage. he hands it over and leans over him to point out the controls. ]
It's not hard, don't worry. You move with this one [ points to the control stick ] and jump with this one. [ points to whatever the jump is ] And then punch with this one. [ and whatever the punch is i haven't played on a gamecube in a million years. ]
We can do a practice range or something so you can get used to it. [ as he flops back into his comfy chair with his controller, moving them back to the main menu to enter practice mode. ] All you gotta do is punch and win. Just pick a character you want and we'll go from there.
[ ichiro is playing ... link i guess that seems right. ]

[ gamecube. the memories. my memories, not crow's or this would be so much easier for him. he fiddles with the buttons as ichiro points them out, and, well-- hand eye coordination isn't going to be an issue, at least.
just remembering the buttons. ]
Huh. That sounds simple enough.
[ he picks byleth.
no. but he does pick marth, because all i remember is how to play the femblems in smash ]

[ you're valid
anyway, he picks the practice screen and a couple level one computers to fight against and then picks them a nice, easy map to fight on. ichiro is. way too good at this game so he mostly hangs back, but otherwise helps by batting computer players over to crow's direction ]
Hey, you're getting it! Incoming.

[ thank you for not immediately kicking him in the atmosphere like you did irl ichiro. but, still, there's a logic to the game and a sort of strategy in the middle of all these coloured lights and weird creatures shocking you with electricy. and comedy mallets.
he can do strategy, especially in a game? ]
Hm?
[ oh. here comes an npc. ] This is feels a bit like baby's first target practice.
[ there's an item nearby. he grabs it and... well. we know what the mallet does. farewell computer AI character. ]

Kinda is, dude. [ because you're the baby here
anyway he picks up the hammer!!! ichiro makes an approving noise and fiddles with the controls on his end to send the second NPC flying into crow's hammer attack. it goes yeeting off the edge. ] Nice.
So, did you figure out how to use your smartphone yet? [ while they're waiting for the npcs to respawn! he makes link do a spin thing and goes off to collect some health items, nudging them off towards crow. there ya go ]

[ he is the child. ]
Pretty much. Like I said, it works like an ARCUS. Just you touch the screen instead of buttons.
[ there's a pause as he figures out how to collect the health items, before he adds: ]
And there's no space for orbments so I won't be using Arts or anything with it either.

[ haha! ]
Orbments. Kinda like marbles? Pop 'em in the ARCUS, and tah dah. You've got access to Arts. What kind depends on how strong the orbment is, and what septium element it's made up of.
[ it's absolutely an JPRG good job ichiro. ]

[ it is, in fact, very much like materia but (crow voice) what the fuck is a final fantasy ]
A what.
A what.
[ well i'm glad they had this talk. ]
Not much else to explain. No orbment, no arts. They can do active things like attack monsters, or passive things like increase your speed, power or cast time. Depends what you want to use and how, really.

Oh, so it's attacks and stuff. Yeah, yeah, okay.
[ he's picking up what you're putting down! wow it's really like final fantasy. ] And they go on your phone? Sick.
Oh, shit, watch it. [ one of the computers has a home run bat now. scary. ] Don't let him hit you with that.

Attacks, boosting attack, defence, healing. Lots of variety in those little orbs.
[ crow absolutely gets hit with the home run bat. farewell marth fire emblem. ]
...
... Holy shit.

[ looks like marth is blastin’ off agaaaaaaiiiiiiiinnnnnnnn… ]
I have gotta get me one of those, where’s it gonna drop?

You just gotta get lucky. I can try and beat it out of him.
[ ichiro is used to playing way over level one so he's gonna go beat the shit out of this computer with link. lots of link grunting noises to follow. ] Rule number one, don't get hit by the hammer. Rule number two, don't get hit by the bat.

Oh, you can literally smash it out of their hands? Nice.
[ that sounds like a Challenge. ] Rule number three, don’t get hit? Gotcha.

[ i rolled a dice and the dice says bonfire, so that's where crow is. he's got a blanket draped across his legs and he's sat as close to the fire as he can reasonably get before catching himself on fire.
it looks like he has all the makings of s'mores nearby, but he's ignoring them in favour of what looks like a selection of foods from the cafeteria building. no ice cream, thank god, but there's definitely some sandwiches and dubious looking bakery foods there. in fact, he has what looks like a muffin on the end of a stick -- (concerningly enough, the stick seems to have more damage on it from the act of spearing the muffin than the actual muffin does) -- and he's pretty much just holding it in the fire.
straight up in the fire. ]
Alright, here's a bet for you: do you think this thing's going to be more or less edible than before once I'm done torching it?
