"I wanna try more puzzle games."

//I'm here whenever for ya

“Iiii Loooove Honey Sweeeeeetss…”

"Oh, yeah. It's an old one. Bubble Bobbululule."

He'll have to pause and answer this one.

📲 [Cynosaga: "Sure. I'll hop on"]

He’s feeling lazy again. Playing on his [Nondescript Video Game Console] while lying in bed.

Today, June 16, are the Summondays of Tsathoggua and Macan! 🎉🎉

"Oooouurgh..."

Laying around.

He’s not gaming right now. Just dozing off on his bed.

"I am gaming."

(And okay.)

“No no I already have it, but I really dunno what to do with it…”

“The mechanics are just so goooood!”

“Someone sent me a really rare gaaaaame!!

Rrrhgghm… To play it or keep it in mint condition…”

"...Yeah. It's really good."

"Not good at games huh?

Oh! How about an old arcade game?

We can press a lotta buttons and have a good time."

“It does, doesn’t it? That’s what you wanna see, but games are about having fun too.”

It was then Tsathoggua realized something, namely about this playing partner.

“Wanna see what other games I have here?”

It's true, his character had the advantage, so he'd hold back a bit. He'd let Zhu's character land a few hits, until he was dizzy.

"It takes a little time, like say, the more your play, the better you'd do."

"A thousand more hours in my favorite JRPG..."

"Right, it's because my character's all about close combat, so he needs to get close to be strong. Yours is a little more stationary and has really strong poooookes.

For now, we'll focus on who we have. The other come later."

"Mmm, that's it. You move and strike. That's the best start."

Now Tsathoggua would start doing the same, and hit Zhu's character. Occasionally, he would space some of his buttons out to show changes in distance or use.

"Now you're getting it. If you hold the stick up, you can jump. If you hold it down, you can crouch.

They have their own buttons too."

The old one shows that off with his own flashy character, giving the other an example.

"Fighting is worthless.

I just wanna sleeeeeep."

"Oh, right, not the top button. That's so you can pause and take a break. You usually don't wanna do it mid-maaaatch."

Good thing it's a local match, and player 1 can pause too.

"You can also move around with the lever. Forward and back will make them walk too and from."

"I am now Master Rank in Fleet Fighter 6.

I should take a break and finish Last Legend Rebiiiiiirth."

"Yeah, you wanna press buttons, and your characters will do normal attacks."

He would correspond by doing do on his stick, light to heavy for each punch and kick.

"For now, just press some buttoooonns."

"Now that you chose your character, I just need to choose mine."

Tsathoggua, in turn, would go to random select. He winds up with a serious, but flashy characters with sunglasses and white hair, and makes his selection, with a versus screen following.

"There, let's fiiiiight."

"Ah. A modest mid-tier character. Now, you just hit the A button, the one at the bottom riiiiiight."

“Yeah, there you go. Now we’ll, go to versus moooode.”

And on the character select screen, there were quite a few choices.

“Ok, now move the lever around, see who looks the best to you.”

"We'll start from square oneeee. For now, you set it like this."

He would face the stick and its buttons upward, the bottom on his lap.

"Noooo, be carefulllll!!! That's a special edition Yoriiiii!!! Here, sit by me!"

He sounded worried, but only his face changed, but there was an open seat on his bed...
