[ hello aoi is standing in front of the vending machine staring vacantly. as. she tends to do. okay.

but she looks over at mahito! ]

Want a rematch?

[touchups]

[IT'S THAT WEIRD VIDEO GAME LASS!! Mahito cheerily bounds over, raising a hand in greeting.]

A rematch? [Give him a second, his tiny memory...] --Ooh! You mean with the food game? Haha, sure, if you thought it was fun. Let's play with some different rules this time, though!

[gamerbrain]

[ wow that's. the most enthusiastic anyone has ever greeted her?? ]

Boop boop... Different rules?

[touchups]

[WELCOME TO THE ENERGIZER BUNNY CLUB.]

Sure! Things are more fun if they aren't the same every time, right?

[gamerbrain]

Got it! What are the new rules?

[touchups]

Let me think...

[He just makes this shit up on the spot god help him. God help anyone who decides to play any games with him, actually.]

We could play for favors this time? Or stuff! I don't have a lot of good things to use for prizes, though.

[gamerbrain]

Aoi doesn't have anything to offer, so favors is better.

[touchups]

Okay! We can play for favors, then. So same stuff as before, but whoever gets the worst food this time loses, yeah?

[gamerbrain]

Got it.

[ she nods!! and covers her eyes with one hand to make her selection. ]

[touchups]

[He will do the same! And once it's out, behind his back it goes.]

Ready? You can decide if you wanna swap first this time.

[gamerbrain]

Let's swap this time!

[ hers is a little box, which she offers to him. ]

[touchups]

[He'll hold out his own, which is a flat, medium-sized box! Exciting.]

Here! I'll piiick... keeping yours. Ready to open?

[gamerbrain]

Yep!

[ the box Aoi handed him has... a slice of strawberry shortcake! sweets again... ]

[touchups]

[GODDAMMIT WHY DOES HE ALWAYS STRIKE OUT.

Her box, on the other hand, has a personal serving-sized pizza! A fancy one with like, bacon and gorgonzola. Anyway behold the look of disappointment.]

Eh, another dessert... My luck's not really coming through for me.

[gamerbrain]

Boop boop...

Want to trade, this time?

[touchups]

[He just SIGHS like his whole life is full of woe.]

It's fine, it's fine - I already passed up on taking my trade. To be honest, I'm not really big on those pizzas, either, so I guess you'd win either way.

[gamerbrain]

What were you hoping for?

[ she starts munching on the pizza, then. yum! ]

[touchups]

I don't really know... There's a few good things in there, though! Like the fries and shakes! That's a pretty good combo.

[He will just

leave this box of cake on a table.]

[gamerbrain]

[ just nods, still eating her pizza contentedly.

and then - thank you, weekly effect - a bunch of little baskets of fries start appearing. there are french fries in one! and sweet potato fries in another! and waffle fries! and tempura? and?? fried rice???

it's fine. ]

[touchups]

[HE JUST WATCHES ALL THIS FOOD APPEAR with increasingly raising brows.]

...Huh. [And grabs the first basket of fries. HIS NOW. Though he will hold it out so Aoi can have some if she wants.]

This new ability is kind of weird, isn't it?

[gamerbrain]

Boop boop?

[ somehow, she hadn't noticed until he pointed it out? ]

[touchups]

[Sometimes he also lives his life in a haze of not noticing things that normal people notice, he gets it.]

You know - this one? [Picking up a fry for emphasis!]

[gamerbrain]

[ :o!!! ]

Fries. But no shakes.

[touchups]

Mm... Let me try!

[Even though the vending machines are RIGHT THERE!!

After a few seconds of concentrating, a pair of maracas fall from the sky and land in the fried rice.]

...Hmm.

[gamerbrain]

[ macarenas.............

aoi picks up one of the maracas... while still holding pizza in her other hand. she gives the maraca a shake. ]
