Strike 2 [video]

[Who's glad that the curse is over with? This guy right here. It's much easier to do damage control on something intangible like fear after the fact than to try and defend people from it and, honestly, it made him feel totally useless.]

Yo, Vatheon's been pullin' some nasty tricks. First yours truly here slept through a friend's birthday, then this whole...shit [that's about all he can say to describe it] with the...fairies? Had to happen too. Now I'm just noticin' a good chunk of pals from my world are gone! I'm sick of this, man, who wants to go hit up the arcade? Or get some comics? Maybe hit a few balls in the park, seriously, somethin' needs to happen besides all this doom and gloom over here.

[There's a pause as he looks for a way to filter the broadcast before becoming too impatient to do so and sighs.]

Hey, Yukari, happy birthday. Left you somethin' in your room, didn't wrap it though, sorry.

[And it's kind of weird, too. Hey, giving girls bunnies is Akihiko's thing in another universe.

Either way he switches off the feed.]

Video games? I have heard of games but not video games? A comic book sounds very interesting though.

How do you acquire one?

[acebrotective]

Video games are games you can play onna screen, like this SFC here. [He waves a hand at the screen as an example.]

Comic books--oh, dude, you can get those any old place. The library, a bookstore--but there're stores that just sell them too.

Oh, really?

I would like to experience this, if possible whenever you are free.

Uhhh...well sure, I'd be happy to, lady, but m'not really sure what sort of comic books you'd be into. Girls usually like romances an' stuff but I ain't got any experience with that. [It's a total lie, but still.] What kind of stories d'you like?
