And getting everyone home.

[ ... ]

Speaking of which... the dead are okay?

[cluedin]

[She nods and it seems to be related to both the statement and the question. Getting people home does seem important.]

The dead are alright. Like we said yesterday, Pumpkin is in communication with them and making sure everything stays okay over there. Plum and I aren't great at talking to them...but they seem to be in good shape.

[soba]

Is there a reason their messages turned out like... that?

[ WAS THAT PUMPKIN OR THEM ]

[cluedin]

Ah. Yeah, that uh....things kind of get lost in translation? [Haha.] But you can always try to write back and see if Pumpkin will deliver something to them.

[soba]

I'll try to talk to her tomorrow then, I guess.

[ because i was too tired to yeet a request in last night ]

[cluedin]

You can always bribe her by playing a game with her. That seems to work pretty well.

[soba]

I don't play a lot of video games so it's not going to be much of a challenge for her.

[cluedin]

You're probably better at it than I am. I'm still really bad at Sm*sh Br*s.

[soba]

Huh? You can't be that bad. It's just button mashing, isn't it?

[cluedin]

No way! It's button mashing and combos and items. Do you know how hard it is to throw a bomb when a little pink blob won't let you out of his mouth?

[soba]

There's no way it's that hard. Just try harder.

[cluedin]

[She raises an eyebrow.]

If it's not that hard, prove it to me.

[soba]

Fine.

If I win, make me a cake.

[ a cake just for him :/ ]

[cluedin]

[She does not say she would have made him a cake just for him if he wanted, so she nods.]

Fine. What do I get if I do win though?

[soba]

[ STOP HE WOULDN'T HAVE ASKED ]

I don't know. What do you want?

[cluedin]

Hm...[HMMMM...] I'll think about it. We usually don't ask for much anyway.

[soba]

Well, don't think about it too hard.

Since you're going to lose.

[cluedin]

Well now you're on. [There's an almost-competitive grin and she's immediately up and starting to drag Toi out of the tower down the stairs.] Game room! Oh, and dibs on the pink princess! [Peach is maybe biased toward Pr*nc*ss P**ch.]

[soba]

Fine. I'll take the...

[ who the fuck is in s*ash ]

Green guy.

[cluedin]

The dinosaur one or the guy with the sword?

[soba]

Sword guy.

[ l*nk ]

[cluedin]

Fine, the sword guy's yours. His combos are really confusing anyway. [In the game room they go and Peach is immediately setting up the game for them.]

...if you haven't played games much, what did you used to do in your spare time?

[soba]

Work?

[ he frowns ]

I didn't have time to do things like that.

[ well, he did have time, but more like he purposefully didn't ]

[cluedin]

Didn't that get boring though? Just work and school? And...your kappa business, I guess. [She will never let this go.]

[soba]

Well, the kappa stuff was more recent.

[ please let it go ]

But whether it was boring or not didn't really matter.
