004 - [Accidental Video]

[The video feed opens onto what was once a living room but which at this point is better described as a sty. Discarded food wrappers, game cartridges, and open books litter the floor. If Laharl owned more clothes, there would probably be dirty laundry, too, but thankfully there's just one pair of shoes in there somewhere.

A large television is the primary source of light in the room. Incongruously, a plush rabbit sits atop the TV, looking a little worse for wear.

The center of the room is occupied by an open coffin, where Laharl is sitting cross-legged, a controller in his hands. He looks to be playing an underwater racing game and, of course, growling to himself as he plays.]


Stupid seahorse, get the hell out of my way.

I'm not cheating! I'm not a cheater, I can win fair and square!

[He scoots over to prove the point, allowing Laharl to see the screen as he picks up his controller.]

It's you who'd better not cheat.
replicatedcourage: (Super determined)

[He's not gonna lose! Sola glares at the screen with intense determination, waiting for the little light to turn green so he can teach Laharl who's boss.]
replicatedcourage: (Yes!)

[Sola lets out a squeak of annoyance as his sea turtle speeds after Laharl's fish, hot on its fins as the seahorse cpu eats their bubbles.]
replicatedcourage: (triumph!)

[Sola's played this same game a few times and as such he remains on Laharl's tail the entire time, able to slip through the same gaps and around curves.

It's also probably why he rockets past Laharl's crashed fish and right across the finish line. Sola jumps up and waves his controller over his head.]


Yes!! Suck it!

[No one ever said he was a gracious winner.]
replicatedcourage: (smirk)

If you think you can beat me~

[Smirking in an annoyingly superior way, Sola plops back down and chooses the seahorse this time, just to be a jerk.]
replicatedcourage: (what you say?!)

Well neither are you 'cause I beat you!

[Ding... ding... ding! And they're off! Sola shoots ahead but immediately gets stuck behind a well placed group of kelp.]

Damnit, no!
replicatedcourage: (special attack)

[Finally Sola gets unstuck and rockets after Laharl, gritting his teeth as he tries to close the gap with speed boosts and shortcuts.]
replicatedcourage: (Inconceivable!)

[Sola makes a frustrated noise as he struggles to keep up, only gaining progress by inches and not nearly fast enough to beat Laharl's shark to the finish line, especially not when he keeps getting a face full of CPU racer every other minute.]

You cheated!
replicatedcourage: (open mouth)

No it's called being mean!

[Argh! Sola shoves his hand in Laharl's face, 3 fingers up.]

Best two out of three! Whoever loses this one has to do chores for the other person for a week!

[With an even more determined expression than before, Sola chooses the sea turtle again and picks the hardest track in the game; the undesea wreck.

This is no longer a game, this is war.]
replicatedcourage: (so pleased!)

[This course Sola knows well and he knows where to break in order not to fall off beams or get hit by decaying masts or the ghost of Davey Jones that haunts the course at random. Even after Laharl's early lead, Sola ends up well ahead by the end, having taken the captain's quarters shortcut through the porthole.

He jumps up triumphantly, holding the controller aloft.]


YES! Take that, Laharl!
replicatedcourage: (unimpressed)

[Sola manages to block his face from the controller at the last moment.]

Ow!

It does too count! We made a deal, Laharl!
replicatedcourage: (you said whatnow?!)

W- That's not fair! It's a deal! I thought demons have to follow deals they make!

[He's been doing some reading, though he doesn't know that demons from different worlds might have different rules.]
