[What's this? Kousetsu watching TV?

...No, it's Kousetsu with a thingamajig. Curiously approaching! His fox is happy to run ahead, going right up next to the tachi.]

What's this, Kousetsu-san? A game?

[heiwana]

[ No he is putting together the magical video game box, but he should have asked how to do it before he left the apartment, ah. He doesn't know what to do with these wires... ]

...it is a machine that plays games on the television. [ ... ]

I am unsure on how to prepare it. [ He looks so serious...these wires will not defeat him though. ]

[yaayaa]

[Ooh, games...he's curious. But all those wires also look really confusing.......

...Stooping down next to Kousetsu.]

You weren't given instructions?

[Verbal, written, instructions of any kind?]

[heiwana]

[ He's kinda surprised to hear actually hear Nagikitsune speak for once. So pardon him for looking momentarily curious and unsuspecting. He does nod then at the question. ]

...no. I did not think to ask before I came here. [ He probably should have done that, huh? ] It did not seem very hard to figure out. But...this is

[ harder than he expected, whoops. ]

[yaayaa]

[Hey, he knows how to talk, you know! Even if he doesn't...do it often...... Regardless, he's not bothered by the look. Centuries as a display piece does that to you.

Crouching down to inspect the wires and stuff! The fox hops off as well, for closer perusal. Hmmm...hmmmm.....nope, he understands nothing.]

Perhaps you could solve it through trial and error?

[heiwana]

[ He knows but it's a shocking feat when he actually does speak. Even Kousetsu is somewhat surprised when he does that. He nods at the fox while he looks between a handful of wires and back at Nakigitsune and his fox. ]

...yes. That is the only way. They are color coded for a reason I believe. [ The strange dangling plug things affixed to the ends of the wires have red, yellow, and white stripes on them so that must mean something. But where do they go? ]

[yaayaa]

[Naki lifts the colored plugs, watching them dangle from his hand, and...glances over at the TV. Hmmmm.]

If it plays on the television, then there must be matching colors somewhere on the machine, correct? [And he goes over to check! While the fox climbs onto his back again to observe.]

[heiwana]

[ Kousetsu nods silently as he watches the other get up. ] Yes there is probably a place where these fit into the machine itself.

[ What they do, he has no idea, but he will just go with it. ]

...they are probably of matching color.

[yaayaa]

[Let's seeeee there aren't any matching colors over here...or over here......oh wait!! He quickly plugs the yellow wire into a yellow slot and....ah....why are there three red ones......he's hesitating over here.]

It seems there are...a good number of repeating colors.

[heiwana]

...that is. [ Not entirely what he expected from this endeavor. His frown deepens as he goes to look behind the tv as well. ]

It is best to try them individually to see which one works.

[yaayaa]

[Right, right, that makes sense. Sticking it in at random!

...Trying another one!

He'll figure this out, just give him a moment. While his fox makes conversation.]

Have you gained an interest in games, Kousetsu-san?

[heiwana]

[ Kousetsu nods seriously as he watches Naki work while speaking to the small fox. ]

Yes. They are interesting and have...strange characters in them. Some of them even...expand on Japanese lore. [ Some even have Tsukumogamis in them?! Kousetsu was just fascinated with all the different types there were. ]

...there are many to choose from and no two are the same.

[yaayaa]

They expand on it? How so?

[Aaaand the screen is now working!]

I did it.
