Heaven's BBS | Video | Mario Kart

[lionhearrt]

From: Ra
Date: August 12th

[ The recording turns on showing Mikoto slouched on a couch with his bare foot tucked underneath his leg. His jacket's gone, leaving him in a white tee. His brow creases in irritation, his mood clearly lousy. In the background this can be heard. Unfortunately, his play so far has been more like this. ]

How do you play this thing.

[ He's so bad, he's reaching out to all you folks. He's got a promise to keep, only problem is, he sucks at Mario Kart. ]


[ ooc; On the last day of Obon, in order to get one of the ghostly children to cross, Mikoto promised to play with his little brother in his stead. Problem is, the kids favorite game is Mario Kart and Mikoto just picked up a controller for the first time today. ]

[ If there's one thing Yata did not expect to find on the BBS today it was the sight of Mikoto glaring at... was that Mario Kart?? ]

You push the buttons to make the car go and you throw shit at everyone else to keep them from winning.

[ Don't ask him how he knows this. He just does. ]

[lionhearrt]

[ The recorder is on the coffee table and Mikoto is clearly not in the mood to pick it up, so you get a wide shot of him from below as he picks up the controller and pushes some buttons and suddenly a red light glows and the thing shakes in his hands.

What the hell. ]

...........

[ Just this look Yata, just this look. ]

[thevanguard]

Uh. Try not and melt the controller, it's not gonna work that way.

[ He can't actually SEE the controller from this vantage point, but when it's a fire god, red glows worry him. ]

Do you want me to come show you how?

[ It's not like he's got anything else on his calendar right now. ]

[lionhearrt]

[ His brow ticks in irritation but nothing's melting, yet. ]

The basement.

[ Is his only answer, accepting without accepting. Considering the vanguard stayed with him before, he figures he'll know what that means. ]

[thevanguard]

In your temple?

[ He's assuming, anyway. ]

Alright, give me a bit, I have to take the long way.

[toremainbehind]

[He looks torn between being amused and unsure of how to react.

The amusement is winning.]

...Should I ask why you're playing it.

[lionhearrt]

[ The recorder is on the coffee table and Mikoto is clearly not in the mood to pick it up, so you get a wide shot of him from below as he makes a sour face. Someone is in a lousy mood and half way ready to burn something. ]

[toremainbehind]

[Mikoto, no. Don't burn anything.]

If you burn something, you're going to replace it.

[Especially if it's a mortal's possession.]

Have you made any attempts to read the instructions t all?

[lionhearrt]

[ It's his anyway, no one will miss it and you forget Izumo, his temple is self-healing for a reason. ]

Too many words.

[toremainbehind]

If it's too hard, don't play it.

[How can he forget? He lives in the damn place.]

[chickshades]

[ You better believe he knows that music. ]

How have you never played Mario Kart??

[lionhearrt]

[ He does. He knows how much is HOMRAlings play video games. ]

..........

[ Just this irritated look Bandou. Look. We all have our strengths! ]

[chickshades]

Well, I'll just have to show you how it's done then!

[lionhearrt]

[ Which means, he knows how to play but instead of asking him to teach him like a normal human being, Mikoto by-passes it and simply gives him his location. ]

The basement.

[ Of his temple. ]

[chickshades]

I'll head over now.

[ Well, a little longer than 'now'. He wasn't even out of his pjs yet. But eventually he's coming down the stairs to the basement. ]

Mikoto?

[mostsuitable]

Oh? What's this thing you're trying out?

[lionhearrt]

[ The recorder is on the coffee table and Mikoto is clearly not in the mood to pick it up, so you get a wide shot of him from below as he makes a sour face when Munakata's face pops up on the screen. ]

What do you want.

[ Because he doubts you know how to play this any better than he can. ]

[mostsuitable]

The answer to my question, for a start. Couldn't you afford me that much?

[lionhearrt]

[ Your way of asking for things is really annoying, you know that? But rather than listening to one of your long winded speech's he answers with: ]

Mario Kart.

[mostsuitable]

[However, your way of never answering questions is even more annoying. You do realize that, don't you? In any case, Reisi seems rather pleased and even a bit curious.]

How intriguing. I might like to give it a try.

[brohat]

Hmm...

[Shouhei's watching a bit.]

I've never played, but maybe I can help!

[lionhearrt]

[ The recorder is on the coffee table and Mikoto is clearly not in the mood to pick it up, so you get a wide shot of him from below. ]

Hmph.

[ He's not turning it down. ]

[brohat]

Where are you?

[Cause he'll come over right now. Don't try him.]

[lionhearrt]

Basement.

[ A grumbled reply as he frowns at the tv. ]

[brohat]

...Basement?

[He's not really sure.]
