[ ??? what in the western wizards ]

What is all this?

A place for playing games.

[walking in to press some buttons on a fighting game and see if it really works]

[ it really works! but apparently only the first level ]

Games? [ he's watching. from a distance. ]

Yeah like... video games? Guess I'm not surprised if you guys don't have that.

[promptly making his way thru level 1]

[ congratulations on beating the first level please insert 5,000,000,000 yen to continue ]

[ ... he's just watching while perched on one of the nearby stools, legs and arms crossed, looking like he's bored.

but like. he's still here so . ]

It's a portal into another place. That's not so impressive.

[that much yen??? wtf,rude]

It's not about it bein' impressive really. It's about having somethin' to do.

What do you do for fun?

I stir chaos and drive humans insane.

[ he says it so simply like. a genuine answer to that question. :) ]

Okay, that's like... two things tops. And if you keep doing that around here someone's gonna figure out how to kill you.

What else?

[ ... ]

I'm not telling you.

How come?

Because I don't want to. Does that annoy you?

Nah, not really. I'm just guessing it's something cute now. You collect stuffed animals? Knit? Dance?

[ ... huff ]

You can guess forever.

Nah.

Wanna try this thing?

[it is dance dance revolution]

[ ..... ..... ..... ..... ]

[ you ever watched a guy battle his inner demons in real time

but it's over whether or not he wants to admit that he wants to try the dance dance game ]
