They're not silly, they're just... ...

...which ones did you think were silly?!

Those ones where it's jus' like two people, an' ya gotta fight with weird button combinations? And the ones where ya wander 'round, tryin' ta level up so ya can beat the next big boss monster an' all that.

Some of the others were KINDA cool.

Yeah, okay, fighting games are...kinda dumb unless you're really really into them...

Soo...you thought the shooters were okay?

Yeah, I did. Not something I'd do all the time, but, y'know, sometimes.

Heeh....okay, I can live with that.

So, okay, you put up with my dumb hobby. What kinda stuff d'you like to do?

I like readin' an' doin' puzzles and shit like that. It really ain't much better than yer games.

Puzzles? Like what kind?

Crossword puzzles and some of those computer game puzzle things. Iunno what ta call 'em.

...what, like Tetris?

Sometimes. An' sometimes it's like, escapin' a room or somethin' silly like a... platformer?

... Y'actually tried some 'f that stuff?

I slightly remember when someone tried t' play 'em with me. I don't think I talked t' 'em anymore after that.

It was Isabel. Of course I'm gonna try it.

I just can't imagine y'even playin' some 'f that stuff.

Wrap yer 'ead 'round it Shades. It 'appened.

I don't think I will. Don't need two shocks at once t' th' system in one day, an' all.

What's the other shock?

Th' idea that th' lightnin' bug has more modes than "happy" an' "confused".

Sparky? ...He goes past that?

Yeah, I was shocked too.

But 'pparently, given how actually... Irritated 'e looked for a bit there, I guess 'e 'as "annoyed" as a settin', too.

Hehe. Shocked.

...Go ta an amusement park with 'im.

... I didn't mean that.

Damnit 'm usually tryin' t' get out 'f gettin' dragged t' places by 'im. Why would I go 'head an' do somethin' 'e'd force me int' when 'm gettin' an odd reprieve?

Suuuuure.

'Cause it gets ya out of 'angin' with yer lil' 'sister'.

'm honest. Didn't mean it.

Y'sure they ain't just gonna latch ont' me an' demand that they come with.

The very thought of intentionally doing somethin' like that burns ya ta yer core?

Tell 'er it's a boys night out.

Nah. M' sense 'f humor is just all charred t' a crisp.

Oh like she'd buy that. 'course, now I gotta figure which is worse.

Spendin' time with th' lightnin' bug, or spendin' time with 'er.

... Wow, you definitely never struck me as the kind of guy who'd be into puzzles.

What do ya think I'd do?

Honestly, I never struck you as the kind of guy who'd be into any kind of games.

Sorry I get bored then.

Hey, I never said that I don't expect you to get bored. Honestly, that's the least surprising point. It's just not something I'd think you'd do.

... Could see you reading though. Kinda.

...Only kinda? I got shit tons of books!

Well, I don't know that, geeze.

I've never actually seen where you live, now that I think about it.

...It's a kinda shitty apartment, now that I think 'bout it.

I'm not really surprised, somehow.

But it's no wonder I wouldn't know what you'd do in general.

I think the moron'd pitch a fit if ya came over.

I could always drag him with if he'd go and pitch a fit over it. I gotta wonder what he'd expect would happen either way.

I dunno. 'e jus' dun like me.

Well, not everyone has inter-relationships that go as smooth as silk, anyway.

I can 'ope ta get on good terms with 'im an' 'is old man. An' 'elp them get 'long.

... You sure that isn't a pipe dream?

Positive.

... Just saying, it feels like the chances of that happening, at least with him getting along with his dad, are really slim.

They jus' need somethin' ta 'ate together.

... I. Guess that'd make sense.

... Still feels like a pipe dream though.
