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?

[soba]

People don't hire 14 year olds, you know.

[cluedin]

So you're saying what you're doing is illegal. [Toi can have a j*y-c*n and Peach is navigating through the menus, etc.]

[soba]

[ it took me way too long to decipher that was joy con i'm too dumb for this ]

... more or less, yeah.

[cluedin]

[Mood.]

...aren't you worried about getting in trouble?

[soba]

[ he shrugs. ]

Not really. They'd have to catch me.

[cluedin]

You can't just run forever you know. That doesn't always work.

[soba]

... well, the plan is to eventually be somewhere where we don't have to run anymore.

So it's just not dying until we get that far.

[cluedin]

...who exactly is we anyway?

[soba]

[ i just realized i forgot to put in audience requests this week because i got so caught up in the ones last week i'm crying ]

... oh. My brother.

[cluedin]

[Holds my hands out for tomorrow. Anyway she's...thinking.]

What about your parents? Do you not have those?

[soba]

[ i like how she worded that it's so funny ]

No, they died a couple of years ago.

[cluedin]

Oh. [She feels like maybe she should have known that, but she's quietly thinking that over. Sometimes...things happen.] Do you miss them? [Is that why you don't connect to people, you small terror?]

[soba]

[ ... he considers that. ]

I try not to think about it too much.

[cluedin]

Makes sense. Most people don't like to dwell on those things. [And so they start the game.] Is your brother older or younger?
