[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]

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.]

[sunshrouded]

Hey, hey!! That's animal abuse! Do you like picking on small creatures?!

[PSYCHO.

That said Tenka's still trying to figure out some sort of return fi--

SUDDENLY THE PUFFBALL TRIES TO DROPKICK THE SWORDSMAN.]

What?! How'd I do that?

[deontology]

[oh god, his swordsman is flying.

JUMP, JUMP??? HOW DOES HE JUMP--

Ah.

There.

He lands on the platform above.]

... These controls are difficult.

[ugh]

[sunshrouded]

Don't blame it on the game, Sousei.

[so snotty.

but isn't that what Sousei had told him earlier

either way Tenka's trying to figure out how to jump too now and-]

Whoa, I'm a balloon!!

[puffballs gonna puff]

[deontology]

[They're both so snotty....

And Sousei is squinting at that.

Why are you flying???]

That seems dangerous. Won't you pop?

[how do video game physics work.]

[sunshrouded]

Sousei....

That's gross.

[it's still technically a creature thing

and he's pressing a button and apparently now attacking again?!]

[deontology]

You're the one who picked the balloon creature.

[JUST...SAYING....

but... wow he wasn't expecting that OFF THE STAGE THE SWORDSMAN GOES.

WHAT.

thankfully he comes back, though sousei squints.]

I thought mine was dead.

[sunshrouded]

[ah

and now he's looking at Sousei with the most betrayed look]

Sousei, you're cheating again!!

[deontology]

[excuse you???]

I didn't do anything. Stop accusing me of things.

[sunshrouded]

I definitely won that time!!

[so clearly game mechanics are sousei's fault]

[deontology]

[you know what.

He's going to use his swordman's sword to slash at Tenka.

Since apparently he's alive,

Take that.]

[sunshrouded]

[He doesn't want to take that, take that back!!

But Tenka's just huffing now and pressing more buttons!!

the puffball is now puffing up]

.... That's so useless!!

[deontology]

[He didn't laugh

it was a cough

definitely a cough under his breath

NO LAUGHTER HERE]
