Video Game Area
no subject
He crouched down to look at the console and controller, turning one over in his hand.
"Okay, how does it work?"
Heaven help the person that introduced him to music-based games like Guitar Hero.
no subject
"It depends on the game. The controllers I have connect to the console by simply switching the controller on." She soon shows what she means by picking up the nearest one. Oh look it seems to be a guitar shaped one. She held down a button as she switches both the controller and the console on.
"See, there we go it's now on and working."
no subject
It did kind of look like a guitar, it just didn't have any strings. That was odd.
no subject
Holding the guitar controller in her hand she started to press the buttons, the screen showing them as perfect during the song.
"You just press the right button as the note hits the bottom. I'm doing this on expert so sometimes it means more than one button needing to be pressed."
no subject
"This game doesn't look too hard."
He was going to have to play until he got good at it, obviously.
no subject
As soon as the song ended, her score popped up as she looked over slightly. "Want to give it a go?"
no subject
Demyx was easy to please when it came to music.
no subject
"First thing to do is pick a song, then you pick the difficulty. Easy is like...for beginners, it wouldn't be hard to complete. Medium is harder than easy but nothing too hard. Then you have hard to the extreme. It gets harder and harder. it depends on how well you believe you will do."
no subject
"I'll do easy first. I've never played before."
no subject
She figured that was helpful anyway.

Relaxing Area/Sleeping Area
Mariko - OTA
Do you want this spot? I'm not actually planning on sleeping on this part of the room, I just need the outlet for my charger.
no subject
No, I was planning on sitting there. [She moved to sit down, she was taking a break from playing video games for the time being.]
I hope this area is actually relaxing enough for you.
no subject
[ Mariko feels her face heat up slightly, seeing Chiaki looking so relaxed and looking cute in those clothes. ]
Uhm, yeah. It's great. I've traveled a lot so I'm used to sleeping in different places. Sit next to me?
[ Mariko scoots over, inviting Chiaki to sit next to her ]
I can show you something from my past. If you're interested.
no subject
[She smiled softly for a moment, moving so that she was sitting next to the other, knees up to her chest, for the time being, wrapping her arms around.]
Something from your past? What is it?
no subject
I woke up here with my smartphone from back home, and it's filled to the brim with pics and videos.
[ Mariko shows her phone, which was a large Galaxy model. Swiping to her gallery, Mariko scrolls down to the very bottom showing her pet Shiba Inu with her ]
This is my dog back home. His name is Weiss. Yeah, like the Nova City Guardian.
[ Even now, Mariko is still amused by this fact ]
He's watching my pack for America, just before I move on to college.
no subject
[Chiaki herself didn't really arrive with anything on her, so she was always impressed when people had things like that. More so since the phone appeared to work. She smiled as she looked through the pictures.]
He's cute. Though I bet if he had been here there would be some mild confusion. [She added with a little laugh.]
I bet he loved you very much.
no subject
[ Mariko laughs, showing more pictures of herself and her dog. More importantly; it showed Mariko's smiling softer side, which is something she does not show anybody often or at all, unless she wants to. Mariko plugs in her headphones to her phone before removing them from around her neck. She offers it to Chiaki to use while scrolling towards a video of herself ]
Here...
[ Mariko couldn't help but blush a little. She's showing Chiaki more and more of herself through these preserved memories in a box. Mariko is a little grateful to have Weiss (the dog) as a way to bridge herself and Chiaki a little closer.
This goes on for a lot longer than Mariko thought. She showed videos of herself playing with her pet, her life in senior year of high school in Japan, roaming around Japan and other countries with her friends, and even herself backstage wearing an idol costume. Next thing she knows, she just showed Chiaki every photo and video she has on her phone. All throughout this moment of sharing, Mariko finds herself glancing and watching Chiaki's face for her reactions, or just to quietly appreciate the other woman's adorable looks that makes her skin warm up ]
Wish I had a little more to show you.
[ Mariko shrugs, lowering her phone and feeling her forearm grow tired from holding the device up for Chiaki. ]
There's still a bunch of space here, actually. Now that I think about it, I might as well fill this thing up to the limit with new stuff. So... scoot over a little closer. I'll take a selfie of the two of us.
[ Mariko bobs her head to the side to beckon Chiaki over to her, pushing a couple of buttons on the touch screen of her phone to ready the camera ]
no subject
I wish I had things I could show you, but when I first arrived I didn't really have anything on me.
[She figured if they asked the best she could do was answer questions because that seemed like a good idea.]
I've never really done a selfie before, so this will be fun.
[She laughed slightly as she moved over to get closer for the picture. She didn't know if she should do something or not, so instead just decided to just smile.]
no subject
But as Chiaki squeezes in close, Mariko reaches her arm out to get the both of them in the frame ]
It's alright if you don't have anything to show me. Genessia is a place where you can do things you couldn't or didn't do back home, and I think that's the beauty of it. You get to make new memories, you know?
[ Mariko smiles softly, turning her attention to the camera before snapping a photo. She doesn't know if it's just her crush on Chiaki or they happen to both be photogenic tonight, but Mariko is really happy of the resulting photograph. And since Chiaki said she hasn't done a selfie before, Mariko offers her phone to the other girl ]
Wanna try it?
no subject
[It what she had been trying to do for nearly a year now. Learning new things and trying new things were always fun. Chiaki had made sure to smile, but apart from that, she had really no idea of what else to do with a selfie. It was such a strange experience.]
Try taking a selfie? Is there any skill needed for it apart from aiming the camera?
