( this is what you wanted to be greeted with when opening the network, right? a woman sat on an unmade bed with her legs crossed ankle over knee, ashtray full on a bedside table, looking about as enthused as a rock as she's so very clearly scrolls through some searches. )

So, video games.

( great opening line. didn't even introduce herself. )

I get what they are from looking it up, but what's the point in some of these? PowerWash Simulator? Farming Simulator 56? American Truck Simulator? You could just go outside and do some of this.

( is she smoking inside her bedroom? also yes. sorry if that gets into the vents, redemption team. )

... I also need suggestions for games. And no, I don't have experience in it which means I don't have enough to make a preference with.

[Guess who lives two doors down in the Redemption wing and looks annoyed?

It's Tary. He can smell the hint of smoke coming from his vent, and he has to wave the air before his face to clear it.]

Can you not?

[eirs]

( what, you don't want you and all your fabrics to smell of cigarette smoke? )

Wasn't a problem before.

[likemybooks]

Before what? I can't have smoke get into my equipment.

[He hates the smell and he does not think it will make him more attractive.]

[eirs]

( there's a moment where she just stares, then takes one final drag of it and leans back before putting it out. alma didn't like it when she smoked in her room, either. )

Is there a place I can go to, then?

[gimu]

smoke stink. what brand is that? i have better.

[likemybooks]

Outside? The garden?

[A pause.]

Oh, and about your question - I started playing these games called RPGs. Try a few.

[eirs]

That's far.

( she'll find a balcony, maybe, if it exists in the structure.

also hold on, she's looking that up now too. this is so many new words. )

Which ones are worth trying?

( now we all gotta make up fake game names and premises...... )

[eirs]

( listen she has like $2.

but give her a second, she's checking. she doesn't know the brand because they don't carry hers anymore several hundred years into the future apparently. )

mevius.
beggars can't be choosers and all that.

[gimu]

i have hi-lite greens. it smells better.

[eirs]

( hmm, that gives her an idea. )

come drop some off and try this game i found.

( no she will not elaborate on which one. )

[ hana doesn't mind the smoking because:

1) everyone has their vices and who is she to judge a pretty lady for smoking when she's smoking hot, and;
2) the whiff of smoke ain't traveling far enough to reach the everlight dorm rooms anyway, so suck it. ]

Actually...!

[ AHEM AHEM! ladies and gentleman... welcome to d.va's ted talk. ]

The point of simulation games is so that you don't have to go outside. You could do it all from the comfort of your room! In fact, you don't have to lift a finger... Er, wait, that's not right. You use either a controller or a mouse and keyboard to play video games so you do have to use your fingers, but the fact of the matter is that you don't need to break a sweat playing something like— like a farming simulation! Ya know what I mean?

[ she can be seen pacing her room, stroking her chin like a mad genius. ]

What do you do in your spare time? Do you like to cook? Clean? Pretend you're living another life? Kill things?

[newphew]

Games?

[ he sounds largely unfamiliar with the concept ]

Oh, like that.... racing thing where you throw weapons at your enemies? "Maulrio Card"?

[likemybooks]

I'm going through some classics: the first two games in the Ultimate Illusion series, though you need a guide to understand some of the mechanics, Dragon Test, I'm enjoying Time Gun, but the online shops should have newer and popular stuff. I like the first one most since the magic system is pretty similar to what I have at home.

[Funny. It's like FFI and Dungeons and Dragons were based on the same basic set of rules.]

@ soba

[gorb]

To be fair judging by this place we could also possibly throw something like a real life blue shell at a passing vehicle if we really wanted.

[ Ye olde Fern here hasn't quite figured out everything these implants can do, but she's had luck communicating via text, so that's what she does. Sorry for yet another disgruntled teammate. ]

I don't know what these video games are, but could you please refrain from smoking within the team living quarters? I can smell it in my room, too.

[eirs]

( babysitter........ apt. )

should i go to a different team's quarters then

text | @chainsmoker

[eirs]

( one definitely could, but it won't stop the cops from coming probably.

but hold on she has to look up what this could even be a reference to.




... oh. actually, )

think i should get into street racing?

video | @chainsmoker

[eirs]

Yeah, that.

( what a concept. saves people the property damage from a high-speed chase, she supposed. )

Tried it before?

[gorb]

Already that bored?

[eirs]

could be good money, depending on the circuit and who's handling it.

[gorb]

Sounds like a good way to die.

( With the heavyweight of a Dad. )

Have you tried it before?

[eirs]

( aw, are you worried. )

not really.

( nor does she have a vehicle to be racing. yet. that can change, though, if she plays her cards right. )

but i'm a decent enough driver, just need to know the roads better.

beats some of the other jobs i've seen out there.

( thank god. someone who won't nag her about it and is an expert at the very field she was asking about? this is everything she could've asked for. maybe this network thing isn't so bad. )

It just seems a little mundane to want to simulate. I think I saw one for.. mowing a lawn?

( baffling.

but, hm.. good question. )

I'm usually working, or looking for work. Sort of a freelance type deal. Didn't really do much of anything else besides that.
