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.

[cluedin]

Because it was just something you had to do? [...] I get that. Did you at least like what you were doing?

[soba]

... not really.

[ he doesn't even really have to think about the question. ]

[cluedin]

Then why not change it? [Is there a point? Possibly.]

[soba]

I didn't really have the liberty to change it.

[cluedin]

Can I ask why not?
