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?

2015. It's weird that is the middle of the pack chronologically around here.

( there are some from much farther in the future and way further in the past... Audentes is a timewarp in and of itself. )

I'm looking forward to it. I haven't played a dumb video game in a really long time. Well, I went to an arcade once in Woodhurst, but I'm saying that only barely counts.

[catphishing]

Oh, hey. Snap. It's weird how exciting it is to meet someone from the same year now.

[It isn't something he ever figured he'd be this happy to hear.]

You only went to an arcade once in Woodhurst?

[Not that Oliver went much either, but he worked in a store that sold video games. He had it pretty good already.]

Seriously? Another hailing from the year of our lord, 2k15? Wow, you might even understand some of my references. Let me tell you, it's hard having all my pop culture knowledge go to waste.

( it's hard to even tell if he's joking on that one. so many swings and misses as far as trying to be funny goes... )

Yeah, just the once. Then stuff got bad and I was busy working on the cure. Trying to, anyway. ( Peter still doesn't take any credit for the success, thanks to the fact his infection ran away with him before they could actually cross the finish line. )

I get it. I have that problem even in 2015.

[That's not a joke even if he's saying it as though it is one. Why don't old period dramas have a bigger fandom?]

It's too bad it didn't stay good for longer, huh?

[webdesigned]

Yeah. Or, too bad we didn't manage the cure faster.

( that'll weigh on his conscience until the end of time, no doubt, though the fact they made a cure at all was pretty commendable. )

[catphishing]

We did everything we could. I actually think we did a pretty good job finding it.

[He hadn't been involved in that part himself, but he likes to think he contributed in other ways.]

[webdesigned]

( a sigh. his playful attitude seems to have disappeared. funny how that works... )

They found it, yeah. It's important not to forget that.

[catphishing]

We all did.

I bet you helped in other ways, right?

[webdesigned]

Not enough, if you ask me.

( he sighs. what he has to say next is clearly changing the subject, but... he sort of has to. )

This sounds fun, though. I guess I'll see you there.

[catphishing]

[There's not much he can say to that. They did what they could, but there were definitely people who suffered.]

Yeah. See you there.
