fourth game; VIDEO. ACTION for Cianwood.

[lullabytes]

[ The camera is shaking, mostly because Nanami can't seem to find an angle she wants. ...WELL, WHATEVER. It can just kinda be propped up on the coffee table in her room. There is an almost worrying amount of energy and soft drinks and candy around, for...some reason. Many of them are open. Apparently health got drop kicked out the window this month for...some reason...?

Look, maybe "staying awake" would have been better done by actually going to bed on time and eating healthy meals and that sort of thing, but apparently we just can't take that route so Nanami's going with "drink stuff that's supposed to wake you up and eat lots of sugar???? profit????????" She's apparently even got coffee, here.

Why the hell is she drinking coffee.

And she's definitely not sleepy - she thinks? she may crash pretty soon because THIS WAS A STUPID PLAN - and Nanami's moving around more than she usually does and looks at least somewhat more alert. Sort...of. She looks distracted, too. ]

...Got it! Ah, hello. This is Nanami. That is, this is Chiaki Nanami...pleased to meet you. If I don't know you, I'd like to talk to you...I think. Although that isn't to say that if I do know you I don't want to talk to you...But it wouldn't count, and I want the high score.

[ well gee thanks that clears up everything... ]

As many of you as I can who I haven't spoken to...please allow me to meet you! We can talk about anything you want. Like your favorite game...or perhaps your favorite series if that's too hard...or what sort of levels you like best... [ ...so when she says "anything" does she mean "about video games"? ] Mm, I'm pretty sure like this I won't fall asleep. So...let's start the battle! I won't lose!

[ While it's true her classmates seem to be falling into comas like flies, she is...probably not trying to avoid that by over-caffeinating. Probably. ]

Hello? Nice to meet you. It's cool that you're into video gamees. I'm Otacon and this is Pip and Nomad. [He pointed to both shoulders, which had a Piplup and a Pidgey sat atop them.]

[ TARGET ACQUIRED: Someone she has never spoken to before. That brings her tally up to...

...

Two people...she really has to get a move on although she might be beating her classmate with their little bet even with that... ]

Do you like video games as well, Otacon?

[ Because that is her favorite topic. ]

Ah, and nice to meet you, too, Pip and Nomad. I have - where...? Oh, here. I have with me Kirby and Galaga. [ A Musharna and a Porygon-Z, respectively. ]

[otakon_geek]

Yeah, I love video games and anime too. I used to be a massive geek at one point in my life over it. [You still are, Otacon.]

Oh. You named one of your Pokémon after a cool game like Galaga? That's really cool.

[lullabytes]

Oh? What's your favorite system? And your favorite game...no, that's still too hard, I should ask instead "what are some of your favorite games"?

Galaga is my favorite...no, one of my favorites. [ She touches her hair clip; the Galaga space ship. ] So, it seemed like a good name. All of my Pokemon are named after games and characters, though...I think that's a good theme. Don't you? I like it. Ah, and Fujisaki-sama says I'm good at naming things, so it must be true.

[ ...She's rambling more than usual. ]

this is his total heaven in geek culture XD

[otakon_geek]

Uh, my favourite system? I'm not sure, as there are so many good ones. I do like all of the Nintendo consoles ever made. Also Playstation. [He shrugged. He didn't really have a favourite.]

That's a good idea, naming Pokémon after games. I was going to name mine after anime characters, but decided against it in the end. I wanted them to be named after real things, such as Nomad here, he's named after the plane I lived in. [She isn't ever going to find out about the Nomad, so there's no problem telling her about the large carrier ship.]

[...After probably a long period of contemplation, Juniper actually decides to get on video, mustering all of her courage to give a smile - it's hesitant, of course, but at least she's not wimping out and using voice.]

Hello, Miss Nanami... It's nice to meet you, too. ...Um, I'm afraid I don't know much about video games, but...if that's what you'd like to talk about, then, ah, I don't mind.

nanami relates...

[lullabytes]

So you've played a PSP? You have, right? You're definitely the sort of person who can say he's done that, unlike other people here...I wonder how many of the same games we have played. They have lots of games for the gear here, but even the things that you know are things like Mariokart are different, and make Pokémon...like, that thing is known as Pokékart here. Isn't that weird? It's a little weird, isn't it?

[ Slow your roll, girl. ]

What is Pip named after?

video;

[lullabytes]

[ And the tally slides up to Nanami: 3, Kuzuryuu: 0. go fight win. ]

So you haven't played many...? What ones have you played? [ don't tell her you've never played any at all...

And while she doesn't mind rambling about games to unsuspecting - or fully suspecting, in this case - persons, perhaps she should, uh, try to engage more. Conversationally. ]

...What sort of things do you like? And also, if I may...what is your name?

Re: even have a "gaming" icon to match :P

[otakon_geek]

PSP? Yeah, I think so. It's been a while since I've had any free time to actually play on any consoles. I mostly spend my time developing new machines and tinkering with things. [He smiled shyly.]

Yeah, I guess it is a little weird. Pip? Well, nothing really. He just liked the name when I asked him what he wanted his name to be. He likes going "Pip!" lots of times so....the name stuck.

haha she has lots of those...gamer life

[lullabytes]

It being a while since playing on them...I understand that, since my PSP isn't here...or any of my other consoles...or the games I collected...

[ oh no, she's getting depressed...but wait! ]

It's okay, though, because my collection here is getting really big. You make new machines, though...have you ever made any games?

[ Tunnel vision, much? ]

...Ah, that's cute. That's a good name, then.

video;

[suncrushed]

[..............well, about that.]

Um... I-I haven't played any...? [There, she said it.] But...I like gardening and knitting a lot. ...And ah! Pardon me, how could I have forgotten? I'm Juniper Woods.

video; 1/2

[lullabytes]

[ ..........that's like wasting most of your life though... ]

...So...you can't know...no, you absolutely could not have known...these gears come with preloaded games! Things like Snake and Minesweeper and Solitaire...

[ and tetris but WE DON'T TALK ABOUT TETRIS HERE. ]

Juniper! You absolutely must play one of those games! Not playing any games ever...that's just too sad.

[superordinary]

[ ...uh. Naegi's not sure what is going on here so he's just going to go ahead and ask. ]

Are you...having some kind of competition or something?

video; 2/2

[lullabytes]

[ wait is that rude... ]

Ah, although gardening and knitting sound fun...someone was teaching me to knit a little, but I'm still not very good at it. I'd like to get better, though.

[lullabytes]

[ ding ding ding the protagonist wins a prize ]

Yes! I'm absolutely going to win! There's no other option! So far...so far I am at three! That's a good number, right? It's absolutely a good number.

[ .........although not a very clear explanation, uh. she will sip some more of her...what is this even is this coffee??? so many drinks so little time ]

Re: awesome

[otakon_geek]

I've never tried making any games before, as most of my work is used in serious real-life issues. Hacking, de-coding and developing state of the art software and hardware. That's what I usually work on. [He doesn't want to mention Snake and missions, as he doesn't know her very well.]

What sort of games have you got in your collection?

[lullabytes]

Oh, my father works with computers like that...so does my big brother. That's really cool. [ She approves of computer geeks, a+.

And also is always happy to discuss games...especially games she owns and has played. ]

The usual sorts of things, I think...like Buneary Bounce, Infernape Escape, Kanto Discovery Trail, Magikarp Mayhem...

[ these are only the tip of the iceberg... ]

video;

[suncrushed]

D-Do they? Ah, then...I-I'll definitely play them later.

[Especially since you're so passionate, Nanami, wow. You're gonna scare her.]

Oh, if you'd like, I could teach you how to knit. I'm...um, I'm kind of good at that. ['Kind of' is not really what one would use to describe themselves when they made an entire costume from scratch, but it's Juniper.] ...I think we may have to meet in person, however, before we actually can.

video;

[lullabytes]

If you could, telling me what you think of them...you should do that!

[ VIDEO GAMES ARE HER LIFE YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND ]

Teaching me to knit...please do! But, where are you now? I guess giving lessons over the gear is a little hard. As of now, I'm in Cianwood, but after my friends wake up we'll head back to Goldenrod.

video;

[suncrushed]

I'll definitely let you know, then! I'll send you a text later.

Currently, I'm in Cherrygrove. I'm...afraid I'm still a bit new here, so I haven't had much time to travel through, but I'm headed to Goldenrod. I'm a breeder, so someone suggested it'll be best to settle down there because of the Breeding Centre. When I'll arrive there, I'll definitely be able to teach you.

video;

[lullabytes]

Feel free to text me whenever...if you need tips about Pokemon, as well. I've played this game before, so it should be fine.

[ ...because well world based on a game... ]

So are you going to get a job at the Breeding Centre?

video;

[superordinary]

Sure, it's a good number but...what kind of competition is this, Nanami-san?

video;

[lullabytes]

Which of us can talk to the most new people in the month of May...from the first to the thirty-first. I can't fall asleep or conversations don't count...and he can't hang up or yell a lot...

[ ........it's a really dumb competition. ]

This conversation doesn't count even if I don't fall asleep, though.

[ SHE ALREADY KNOWS YOU, AFTER ALL... ]

Also, people from home in general don't count...I think we added that to the rules.

video; 1/2

[suncrushed]

...Wait, so we're in a game that you've played?

[THAT'S...SOMETHING.]

video; 2/2

[suncrushed]

[okay moving on to a topic that's not startling...]

And um...that's my intention, yes. I would very much like to get one, but...I'm not very fit out for any other jobs.
