Lazy Saturday [Closed to Wash's apartment and friends]

[unrecovered]

[Wash needed to take his mind off things. Unfortunately, the halfpipe wasn't available as a distraction anymore - it had actually become one of said things he didn't want to think about. So he went wandering instead, through areas both populated and not, and would up at the mall.]

[Surprise number one was that said mall had a pawn shop. Surprise number two was that said pawn shop had an old game system, complete with controllers and a few games. He doesn't have to think about it for long before forking over the cash and heading home with the system.]

[It doesn't take him long to set it up, but hell if he can actually get the hang of any of the games he bought.]

If you don't like it, you don't have to-

[Wait what-]

[Wash is none too good at this game to begin with; between the distraction and the human mind not processing things by frames, he's definitely not on top of his game well enough to dodge, and his character gets utterly tanked and blown off the track.]

Great. Thanks.

[She shrugs.]

If you were utilizing your breaking system optimally, you wouldn't have had that issue.

[He rolls his eyes and hands Peridot the controller. Look at all the things he's not going to put up with today.]

Okay, then, you play.

[what and how]

Huh?! I don't know how to operate this device!

[She lets the controller fall into her hands like she's been handed a dead bug and prods at it. The sprite on screen...jumps a lot and stutters across the track as every other racer blows past it.]
