[Video]

[Ryuunosuke looks much more cheerful as he lounges about in his hotel room.]

Right, okay. I don't know if anybody else has this problem, but I'm just a little behind the times when it comes to technology - that is, things have advanced enough here that I don't know as much as I'd like even if I can manage the important stuff.

I was going to keep this entry short. Uh. I need game suggestions. If anybody is current with video game technology, what should I be saving up for? Cost is definitely a concern, but I'm pretty sure I can get something eventually. And I'd like something with multiplayer options, 'cause, you know. It is my solemn duty as roommate and Master to introduce Caster to everything that exists. It is also my solemn duty to beat the pants off of him a couple times.

So. What kinds of games do you guys like?

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[A bright laugh.]

No, no, that's not really what I wanted! It's an expression; it means if we played any games together it would be fun to seriously defeat you a few times. It doesn't actually have anything to do with your pants.

Hoho-! You sound confident, Ryuunosuke!

[And just like that his mood shifts from confused to pleased. He spreads his hands wide, gesturing broadly. A wide grin plasters his face.]

Then it will simply have to be my duty to fight you in these games with all I have!

I'm definitely confident~! It'll be fun!

[Ryuunosuke gets excited over the littlest things. Like beating Caster in silly games.]

Aaah, there's nobody I'd rather compete with than you, sir~

We will fight well and see who truly is the best at video games!

...

By the way. What are video games?

Eheh. Have you used the television in the room at all?

[He gestures grandly to the hotel-standard TV.]

Do you mean to say that this metal box actually does something? I thought that was just a cabinet. I was trying to figure out how it opened.

[After shaking his head fondly, Ryuunosuke finds the remote and turns it on.

Enjoy your football.]

[Moving closer, he leans over and peers into the screen, blinking. So this is...]

Ryuunosuke. Show me Saber.

[...of course he thinks it's like his psychic magic 8-ball of stalking.]

I can't. [Chuckle.] There's only a limited number of stuff it shows, even if it's a really big number. It's not like your crystal ball where you control everything.

Perhaps you haven't learnt to command it properly yet.

[Another button, and hey, TV Guide channel.]

I'm preeetty sure that none of these couple hundred channels are the Saber channel, but I guess I could be wrong, huh?

[A firm nod as he dedicates himself to reading through them.]

There are not a hundred of them on this screen.

[Ryuunosuke demonstrates the use of the arrow buttons.]

You couldn't read them all if they were all on one screen. See, there's more.

This magic... where did you learn to do it!? Fascinating! To think that in this place where magic is prohibited, that you would develop something like this!

Um, I didn't... make it myself... It's something that someone else made so everyone else could use it.

Hm... [He falls silent for a moment or two, scanning through the channel list multiple times before deciding Ryuunosuke was right. Saber was not to be found on it. That was unfortunate. His downcast expression lasted only a moment or two before he flashed Ryuunosuke a wide grin.]

So this... "television" has something to do with your "video games"?

Yep! The television's what you use to show the video games with. Um, this is pretty much impossible to demonstrate without actually having a video game to show.

Okay. When you turn on a television show or your crystal ball, that's just showing what's happening somewhere else. You don't have any control over that. What if you had some control over what was happening in it?

...

You speak of controlling the minds of others elsewhere?

[The mere idea of it was fascinating. A power beyond his own. Admittedly less interesting than invoking emotion and reactions in others, but still.]

Well, it'd look like that, anyway. The people in video games don't really exist, but the idea is that you're controlling them.

[Man, he was just dashing Caster's hopes against the rocks. First no Saber channel, then this.]

[Don't mind him sulking, Ryuunosuke. He'd prefer to delude himself into thinking they were real.]

Controlling people that do not exist... What is the point of that?

Um, sometimes games are challenging and you want to be able to beat the game that was designed to stop you. And sometimes you just want to compete with the people you're playing with. The fake people are just a vehicle for the competition.

...Sorry. I guess I thought it would be fun doing anything with you no matter what it was.

[Now you're going to make him sad.]

[Sad Ryuunosuke is not a good thing. Just as swiftly as it came, his sulking fades and he whirls on the shorter man.]

There is no need for apologies! Come now, Ryuunosuke. I never said I wouldn't try it.

Really? Great! I'll definitely try to find something we can enjoy.

[He's not sulking ♥ That always cheers Ryuunosuke up.]

So what sort of games can you play on this television? Has chess faded from interest?
