driftfleet | 008 - Another episode of Wasting Time With Crowley

Who: Crowley and YOU!
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Pathstone
When: Today!

[There are some things that Crowley shouldn't be allowed to do, and getting bored is pretty much top of the list. When Crowley gets bored, things happen. As such, anyone waking up today to check out the network will find a new game sitting there, just waiting to be played.

Crowley even pops on to the network with a lazy wave and a smirk.]

'Lo people. While we're drifting pointlessly through space, I decided to liven up your lives a little more with a new game to play. I got this one on the network in Paradisa once, and I reckon it's time it made a comeback.

Because I know all of you want to guide a robot unicorn through a canyon, capturing fairies with increasing speed - all to the painfully eighties sound of Erasure. I mean, who wouldn't?

[A crazy person. That's who.]

Incidentally, if you're ever of a mind, I have plenty of other games to keep you occupied while we wait until we hit a new Starsystem.

You're welcome.

God, not this game again.

It's okay, Allen. You can admit that you've missed it. It's perfectly natural.

I'm not playing it! I have to work to catch up on.

[He's going to use the Tempting Tone. Because he never, ever learns. ]

Come on. Don't you think you've deserved a little break?

Don't use that tone with me! I know that tone!

Wait, what?

I feel like this is something I played when I was younger.

Perhaps you did. The eighties are strong in this one.

Is it that old? I was born in the 2000s.

Well, the song is, I believe.

...Good Someone, you're just a baby.

[Makes the most INDIGNANT FACE]

Uh, I'm twenty three, thank you very much.

Yeah. This ends in my crew either starving or chucking my device out of the airlock.

Well, at least they'll go doing something they love.

...Thank you for your contribution. It looks meaningful.

[He has managed to pack so much sarcasm into two little sentences.]

[Crowley can play Sarcasm Bluff as good as anyone. ]

It absolutely is. It'll bring such brightness to your day.

Oooooh this is so cool! Thank you~!

Yeah yeah, I should have known you'd enjoy it.

[Damnit that's not his intention at all. ]

[Hahaha poor Crowley, this is the pony that can win Tic Tac Toe 35 times in a row; not to mention her human self LOVES 80s music. Robot Unicorn Attack is her cup of tea down to the sprinkles.]

Yeah, it's a little tricky at first but it's REALLY fun! Not to mention super pretty!

How do you even play it with hooves anyway?

[Just rain on his parade, jeez. So rude. ]

[The Atroma really should start giving her bonuses for that question; it's bound to turn into a drinking game rule.]

Oh, easy! My comm's buttons are a little bigger than the humans, and the keyboard's bigger too, and it comes with a stylus!

Your game seems very colourful. Thank you for sharing it.

[ the response is so even in tone that it's hard to tell if barriss is being sarcastic or genuine here. at least she's honest: it is colourful. ]

[He's going to take it for sarcasm and give it right back. It's how HE'D react, after all. ]

It is isn't it? You enjoy playing it now~

[It's been some time since Crowley even made his post, but Adalwolfe's been busy since then. Look, video games aren't a thing on Thedas so he is incredibly grateful for this wonderful gift. Especially since insomnia has totally been a thing lately.

Which is why very suddenly, more than twelve hours later, Adalwolfe sends Crowley a screencap out of the blue.]

That's a good score, right?

Edited 2016-10-08 03:51 (UTC)

[There's a considerable pause, the sound of dead air while Crowley takes that in. ]

...Fuck me, Adalwolfe, how many hours did you sink into this?

I dunno. A lot.

Been having trouble sleeping. These beds are so small.

[Too small for two people, anyway.]

At least this is something to do in the meantime. I haven't tried any of the other games yet. Are they as diverting as this one?

True. You ever thought of just pillaging your captain's bed? Those are huge.

[Not that he would EVER do such a thing, of course. ]

Oh absolutely. I only make diverting-slash-irritating games. It's what makes it fun for me.
