Yes! I want to try your favorite game.

[ This! This is good proper humanity companionship! ]

[defendure]

Great!! It's right this way - [ And it is...an arcade tie in game to Duoventure: Defiant Red/Gentle Yellow, because Izuku picks a thing and sticks to it like glue even in another (fake) life. He seems happy about the power rangers rip-off machine though... ]

So, this is from my favorite tv show! [ ...You know, here, ]

[ She has no idea what this is, but she looks suitably awed by it. So it's like a sentai... she at least understands that a little more, though not for the usual reasons. ]

How do you play it?

[defendure]

Okay, so! You get to pick one of the characters - there's different ones, each color ranger has different special skills! - and you can either battle a friend or go through "story mode" levels! I usually choose Defiant Red.

[ Because he likes the special attacks. ]

[humainity]

If I don't battle a friend, can we go through the levels together? Or is it just competitive with two players?

[ Good taste though Izuku. ]

[defendure]

We can go through the levels together! We have to stay on the same screen, though, so funny things can happen if you get too far ahead - like dragging your partner along...

[ So, old-school. ]

[humainity]

Okay, I can do that. I basically just have to run not far ahead or stay too far behind.

[ ... She will absolutely run ahead if this wasn't a video game, so good thing he said something. ]

[defendure]

Right! And we have to work together sometimes to solve puzzles!!

[ Or murder things, as you do in arcade games. ]

[humainity]

Then let's begin! I'll do my best to guide you to victory, Izuku!

[ ... Sophia, he's the one who's played this before. ]

[defendure]

[ It's okay, he won't call her out on it. ]

Sure! I'll let you pick your character first, since we can't pick the same one.
