I know there's still a lot of work we need to do to repair Oska, but we need to take breaks too, right?

I have an Xbox so I thought maybe it might be fun to have a games night. I only have 2 games and CoD is probably the wrong tone after we had a big fight already, but I have Quiplash which is way lighter.

Basically it generates a question or part statement and you have to answer it or fill in the blanks with the funniest answer. Kind of like Cards Against Humanity, but you write your own answers and everybody votes instead of taking it in turns. You can just watch if you don't feel like playing so it's a really good group game.

Would anyone be interested in like a night where we did that?

. . . What's an Xbox again? It's video games, isn't it?

I would play.

[catphishing]

Right!

Have you played video games before?

[digiorno]

No, but I've seen other people play. It seems interesting. I don't know if I'm "the funniest" but I'm not the least funny, probably.

[ex_mettacrusher33]

Oho! I didn't know this was an invitation for everyone else to lose!

Of course I'm there. ;)

[catphishing]

LOL, don't get cocky just yet. You don't know how this is going to go.

[ex_mettacrusher33]

Of course I do, Oli-dear. I'm hilarious.

I'd probably be better at watching than playing.

[catphishing]

You could try playing.
Maybe you'll be better than you think. 😃

[sheriffing]

Or I might be worse than you're expecting.
Can't I just laugh at everyone else?

[catphishing]

Great! I'll keep you up to date.

[He sounds enthusiastic about technology Oliver's actually familiar with. This is going to cut him lots of slack on its own.]

( it's cute if anyone thought he was done being evasive with his own name. nope. or Maya sounds way more dude like these days. )

Man, an Xbox? Talk about a blast from the past. The past of a year ago, meaning, since I haven't seen one since I was home.

I was always a PlayStation person ( bc Sony owned the rights ) but I would play. I know someone else that would play, too.

[catphishing]

Oh, thank god. I thought you were going to say a blast from the past of your childhood.

Before holo tech took over everything and left Xbox in the dust.

[This is a huge relief to him, okay?]

( he has so many questions. he hardly knows where to start. )

what is an "xbox"?

[catphishing]

It's a machine you can play games on.

You know like Magimon or Stormcloud Seven on the Magitek?

I have so many questions, where do I even start

[catphishing]

"What's an Xbox?"?

[This seems a reasonable guess.]

[When he sees that it is Oliver who has posted this message, he takes the time to listen while it is read to him in the cool monotone of the jewelry's text-to-audio function. His eyes follow along on the shimmering screen, recognizing the forms of some words but mystified by yet more of them. Even after hearing the words aloud, however, he does not understand fully. And so Oliver shall shortly hear Achilles' bold voice ringing forth.]

Then is it a game of wits to which you invite us, Oliver?

( voice )

[catphishing]

Yep. Are you coming?

[He sounds hopeful. He likes Achilles a lot, and despite the awkwardness of their last conversation it would be nice to have him there.]

[viscontree]

Spending some time relaxing may not be a bad idea.

I suppose I'd be interested in joining for a while. Do we need to bring anything?

[It sounds fun okay.]

[catphishing]

You don't have to, but you could bring snacks or drinks if you wanted.

I'll let everyone know when I have a date.

They sell games in this place? And here I thought I'd just be stuck with my phone apps for gaming this whole time.

[ What a relief. There's only so long he can spend playing the same couple of RPGs over and over. Bad enough it's all he took with him on the road before leaving Insomnia. ]

[catphishing]

You can get them, yeah. There's a couple on the Magitek that anyone can play too.
