Looking for entertainment

[atrophied]

[ One thing to be said about a workplace with House in it, there's gonna be a bigass television, an excellent home theater system, nothing but good and so-bad-they're-amazing movies, and all the video game consoles and game after game after game.

Try not to break anything. ]

[Korra, while new to Paradisa level technology, has quickly gotten the hang on that one game with the little Italian plumber guy. Now, in front of the TV, she's moving with the controller and yelling at the screen.]

No no no no!!! Left!! I said left!!!

[atrophied]

[ This is House. This is House's character pulling up beside Korra's and doing an obnoxious wheelie as it races ahead. ]

[polar]

Hey! That's not-- How did you do that?! [Trying to make it go fasterrrrr. She's even a sucky driver in video games.]

[atrophied]

I jerked the remote. [ That's what she said. ]

[polar]

[Korra tries that!

.... and her kart thing flies upwards and hits a tree. Gj gj.]

[polar]

[She growls and clenches the controller tightly, turning and glaring at House.]

No! It just made you lap me. Again!

[There may be a smell of burning plastic now...]

[atrophied]

[ Oh, he smells that. ]

Did you melt another one?

[polar]

[Korra jerks back with a yelp, dropping the control to the ground with a clatter.]

Crud!! Not again.

[not_like_the_rest]

[GUESS WHO HAS NEVER PLAYED A VIDEO GAME BEFORE! This girl. She's poking at the things, clearly confused.]

What is this stuff?

[atrophied]

Video games. All the fun of blowing someone's head off without having to get off the couch.

[not_like_the_rest]

... People enjoy that kind of thing?

[atrophied]

Oh yeah. But hey, violence not your thing? You can always wish for Cooking Mama.

Oh! I'm going with he will tell her in the other thread now!

[not_like_the_rest]

[No, she has just done a lot of killing already. You know in real life? This guy doesn't know about the games though, or at lest doesn't act like he does. This is a time where it would be best to act a little weak. She just smiles and looks a bit curious about what he's saying.]

Not really. there aren't any video games where I'm from though. Can you teach me?

[atrophied]

About a lot of things. Grab that remote. Watch me for a bit.

[not_like_the_rest]

[She does as she's told. She at lest knows what I remote is.]

I'm ready.

[atrophied]

[ He shows her the basic actions and the controls necessary. ]

Give it a try.

[Conan is glaring at the gaming systems in disgust. He had never been very fond of video games.

Mostly because he was terrible at them.]

Aren't there any books in here?

[squartatore]

[books on medicine probably don't count]

What kind do you want? I think there's some to keep patients occupied...if they haven't disappeared.

[modernholmes]

[At this point he'd take them. Medical knowledge could be very useful when examining corpses.]

Anything! I'm really bored.

[squartatore]

I'll go check out the shelves. [she gestures in the direction of...wherever the books are kept, trying to look like she knows what she's doing and thinking a kid like him might prefer a magazine or somesuch]

[modernholmes]

Thank you! [If she brought back a kiddie magazine he might scream.]

[squartatore]

[in a little bit, Sayaka returns with a car magazine (for the colours), one for video games (in case he changes his mind), and one with outdated celebrity gossip (YOU NEVER KNOW) -- actually, can they still be considered celebrities if only part of the population here has any idea who they are --

plus the least thick books she could find, mostly on medical-related topics. But there are diagrams...this kingdom is so terribly child-unfriendly :(]

Here.

[modernholmes]

[Conan keeps a carefully happy expression on his face, even as he cringes at the magazines.]

Thank you! Those look fun to read.

[squartatore]

[feels something is a bit off, but can't pinpoint it because reading body language and decoding what it says are very different indeed. So she shrugs and takes a seat after setting everything down, looking over at the gaming folks and wondering inwardly when a controller will be free]

Knock yourself out. [...] The games aren't to your tastes?
