Best girlfriend.

[ she gets a kiss as he reaches for his communicator. gaming with her has been one of his fantasies ok. ]

Alright - well first you gotta pick your character - [ there's guy stickfigure and girl stickfigure. he hasn't spent a lot of time on the graphics, so it mostly looks like toilet signs with little red capes. ]

You click here to go forward, here to jump, you gotta collect the coins, not fall in the holes, and jump on or avoid the stickfigure monsters.

[ literally stick figures with an arrow pointed at them with the label 'monster'. ]

[passingthrough]

[Are there any other fantasies she should know about?] Right. Just like an actual battle. [She's kidding.] Is it set up for two players or do we need to just take turns?

[winn]

[ absolutely. ]

It'll be set up for multiple players as soon as I get it uploaded to the network, for now, we gotta take turns. Tell me how you like it, you're the first to play it besides me -

[ this is very exciting to him, can you tell? ]

[passingthrough]

[Such as...?]

Yeah? [She likes being the first, okay?] Then these are exciting times. Should there be a speech first?

[winn]

[ there's a character limit on these brackets. ]

-- probably! [ he laughs, but he's not very good at making those, that's more kara's job. ]

[passingthrough]

[So, whispering it into her ear later?]

Four score and now we celebrate a small step for man and fear itself. Play ball!

[winn]

[ she gets applause, and a mock wiping of the single tear ]

Beautiful.

[passingthrough]

No, you are. [Kiss.] So me first or should I watch you?

[winn]

You first - I'm dying to see how you like it.

[passingthrough]

Will there be an acceptable response other than "this is awesome?"

[winn]

Yes. I'll also take "this is super awesome".

[passingthrough]

The options are almost limitless in that world where limitless means two. [She smiles over at him with all the fondness before looking back at the game to start it up.]

[winn]

Try not to get overwhelmed by all those options -

[ he smiles, and leans in to watch her play ]

No, but tell me if you hate it, I'll fix it.

[passingthrough]

[She smiles, feeling him closer.] I will be honest. Promise. But also, you're adorable.

[winn]

I was programmed this way.

[ she gets a little grin as he rubs her shoulder. ]

Jump - jump!

[passingthrough]

Oh my god, you're a back seat video game player. Don't make me turn this screen away from you, boyfriend.

[winn]

I wouldn't have to be if you jumped -

[passingthrough]

Wow. Maybe if you programmed the superior option of phasing through the enemy this wouldn't happen.

[winn]

If I made it too easy it'd be boring. Learn to jump.

[passingthrough]

Oh, I'll jump alright. [What does that even mean.] So, I noticed you named it after Kara. [Messing with you for that jump critique.]

[winn]

[ don't ask him, his inquisitive expression is wondering that too. ]

Actually, after the original. It's Super Mario Brothers. Though she was the motivation behind replacing Luigi with Super StickFigure woman -

[ he's heard enough rants. ]

[passingthrough]

Wrath draws. Which is not criticism. It's a complete non sequitur bit of information that has nothing to do with anything.

[winn]

[ gasping!! ]

You don't like my stick figures!

[passingthrough]

[Smiling.] I couldn't love your stick figures more. Now be good or I might have to kiss you and then I wouldn't know when to jump.

[winn]

Now there's a real Sophie's choice --

[ eyeing her. eyeing the game. clicking jump at the same time he kisses her, when he'll pull back, her stick figure will still be safe. for a second. if she's quick. ]
