[In this nifty little space, I'm going to mention that Sousei and Tenka used the HOLO(gm) to make the entire apartment look closer to the shrine, complete with sliding screen doors and tatami mats. They tossed all of the chairs out the window and proceeded to get really low tables and cushions so that they could sit around as they normally do.

The kitchen is the only modern-looking part of the apartment because they realized that as much as they fail at cooking, what they have is already better than the kitchen of the shrine. They also bought a rice cooker because that's pretty important.

For now, everyone has their own room. Subject to change if this family gets bigger or they decide to knock down a wall to the next apartment over. Who knows, maybe that'll happen on accident.

Lastly, they kept the couch. Because Tenka liked it and he still claims to be The Rule.]

[deontology]

[SHHHH. Though that does shove him right over, and he can't quite see the screen as he's shoved over on the couch--]

Tenka--!

[He can't even see who won but he was sure to keep holding down A]

[sunshrouded]

[Oh my god, you twig.

Admittedly Tenka didn't expect Sousei to actually topple down and now he's just going to flop right on top of him. Sorry about his weight, partner. Except not because this is your fault.

In his surprise Tenka totally lost grip on his controller though.

So when he lifts his head and sees the screen and it says that Sousei's the winner-]

No fair, you cheated!!

[deontology]

[HRGH... now he's got Tenka sprawled on top of him on the couch, and there's an elbow in his gut, and immediately he reaches up with a hand to shove Tenka's face away.]

Get off.

[HOW COULD HE POSSIBLY HAVE CHEATED WHEN YOU'RE STILL IN THE ACT OF CHEATING RIGHT NOW.]

[sunshrouded]

[if tenka was a dumber and more childish man, he would like sousei's hand

but since we're not quite there yet, he's just letting himself be shoved off and making a face at the screen]

Let's play a different game where you can't cheat!!

[deontology]

[God that's gross don't do that.

Sousei just arches an eyebrow at that, looking mostly unimpressed, even as he rights himself.]

You were the one who was cheating. Now that you're eating your words, you're blaming the game?

[sunshrouded]

I wasn't cheating! I have more integrity than that!!

[Which is at least.... true.... Tenka typically doesn't bother cheating when playing games.]

You were the one running into my car! Or you're just that bad at controlling yourself, huh?

[deontology]

It was the first attempt, and you would not let me read the instructions!

[so...yeah of course he couldn't control it.

Jeeze.]

You were the one bumping into me. [outside of the game.] That is not how it is meant to be played. [probably]

[sunshrouded]

Oh please, don't talk like you're a seasoned veteran about this stuff!

[god. maybe a little rough-housing outside of the game is normal! either way, Tenka shuffling through their stack of games now to find something else]

Let's find another one.

[deontology]

[Your attention span, Tenka.... either way, Sousei doesn't care--the system came with a handful of games and he has no idea what any of them are.

So what could it hurt, really..........

shrug.png

Either way, Tenka's still not brooding.]

[sunshrouded]

[His attention span doesn't really exist. So there's that. But regardless he's poking through them now, but as he does he glances over to Sousei-]

Oh yeah. How was work?

[domestic as fuck]

[deontology]

[super domestic, Tenka, why....

But Sousei just tilts his head, thoughtful.]

Acceptable. There are still very few people worth sparring with here, however.

[sunshrouded]

[He just laughs at that.]

Well, if we keep getting new people coming in like we have been, I'm sure you'll get a challenge eventually.

[as he keeps switching through the games and- oh. What's Extreme Slam Fraternity??

he then proceeds to shove the box in Sousei's face]

What's this one about?

[deontology]

Perhaps. [You never know... he wants to spar with the Shinsengumi, at least he knows they would be a challenge--

But then there's a game in his face.

He pushes it down, frowning.]

I have no idea. They were included--I did not pick them out.

[sunshrouded]

I can see how much you care.

[So dry.

But oh well, Tenka's down for an adventure and now he's putting that disc instead. But he at least thinks to put the first one away too, amazing....]

[deontology]

I don't.

[All he cared about was Tenka not brooding, not about the games.

But Sousei just picks up his controller again, watching it load up. It's...so loud and colorful, why...]

[sunshrouded]

[It's.... really loud and colorful, oh okay.... Tenka blinks and then experimentally presses A.

And then there's a loud booming noise and he's jumping a little?!]

What a sensitive game!

[deontology]

[Rather than complaining, Sousei is choosing the sensible option and turning down the volume.

Y e a h....]

Can you tell what the point of it is yet?

[He's still baffled.]

[sunshrouded]

[they're.... going to the character selection screen now and Tenka just blinks]

I think I'm supposed to extremely slam your guy with my guy.

[JUST A GUESS?]

[deontology]

... It is a fighting game?

[...weird.... but okay sure why not.]

Fine. Then let's try it.

[Does he pick a guy... gotta pick some guy.]

[sunshrouded]

[so Tenka totally wants to pick a guy

he wants to pick the roughest and toughest guy who probably has a mean look and a lot of tattoos

but why do they put that character next to this pink weird fluffball thing?!]

Wait...!!

[which button unselects the character................]

[deontology]

[2late........

Sousei was infinitely more careful, and thus ended up with someone with a sword. He's kind of weirdly pretty, but he has a sword, that's good enough look who's talking.

He hits the start button.

oops they're going.]

Too late.

[wow he sounds so regretful]

[sunshrouded]

Arrrghh!!

[Tenka's just frustrated now.

Except now they're both on the battlefield and when he gets a good look at Sousei's character-]

.... You're secretly kinda vain, aren't you?

[deontology]

[...???]

He was the only one that appeared to reliably have a sword.

[...]

Though I am not certain I understand why his hair is blue.

[as if you guys can talk, green-haired takeda.......]

[sunshrouded]

He's pretty. It works for him.

[Just saying. Sousei's probably gotten mistaken for a girl already-

Anyway, cue some REALLY FIERCE BUTTON MASHING AS THE PINK PUFFBALL APPROACHES THE SWORDSMAN IN A FLURRY OF

slaps and rolling]

[deontology]

[shhhhh shhhhhhhhhh.

Sousei blinks though. Wow that sure is a pink puffball rolling about. how intimidating.

He hits a button.

Oh, good, sword strikes. That's satisfying.

So he may be smirking a little as he returns fire.]
