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.]

Humans come up with so many strange ways to waste their time.

[Peridot was dragged up here, and she did not want to be. She's made it clear with every facet of her being, draped over the back of the couch and watching disinterestedly. Whoever's got the controller right now are piloting tiny sprites of a man in a small vehicle around a virtual track. There's hardly a point, and besides...they aren't very good at it]

Slow up! You'll be hit by that missile in 2.6 frames!

[Rose was there, making sure that Peridot didn't try anything- even if, as time passes, it's seeming a bit less likely that she will. She's by no means any less of a chore- still just as abrasive and uncaring about the things around her- but she at least seems to understand that working together is a much better way of doing things.

But still- Rose was there. Just in case Peridot decided to do something very stupid for some reason, or decided to see what happens if she pushes a human off a roof, or whatever else. It's not that she doesn't trust Wash to look after her, just... She wants to be sure.

No reason she can't make smalltalk in the meantime, though, watching with interest as Wash plays his games.]

Hm... I think I've seen people playing with devices like these back home, too! Humans always manage to come up with the most delightful looking games!

[Celestia takes up the couch by herself -- it's simply a fact of being a pony. Still, she has her legs tucked up and her wings folded in tight to take up as little space as possible, and this bothered her not at all.]

So what is the story of this game, anyway?

[raisethemoon]

[These "controllers" require quite a bit of precision. Pressing the buttons gave her a slight amount of trouble at first, but in general Luna's got enough control of her magic that she can handle it without crushing things. It's a bit of a tight squeeze, but she's seated on the floor between the couch and TV, spreading one wing out where there's room.]

Ha ha! Victory shall be mine!
