Video Games (Open)

[seraphicthunder.livejournal.com]

It had been one of those little things Reimi was never really good at, but she had settled into a routine since she had gone to the Media Library so long ago. Having booted up a cute looking JRPG or something close to it, she listened to the opening theme as she began to play, selecting her character.

Right now, playing away, she is almost oblivious to anyone coming up to visit with her.

"This? Random video game I got in the archives," replied Reimi as she grinned, hugging Sasami. "Seems like it's focused around a fun concept of dungeon diving as well as finding and meeting new people and having adventures."

She presented her long length of hair. "If you don't mind Sasami you can put my ribbon back in."

"Oh, wow..." Sasami said, listening to what she described. "Though... sounds like what we're doing, huh?"

With a nod, she moved to fix back Reimi's ponytail. Part of her, though, wanted to be careful - she just might get pranked, too...!

[seraphicthunder.livejournal.com]

"Yeah it really does," giggled Reimi. "But most games like to do a similar format at least."

She wasn't too worried that Sasami was going to prank her. She would get back later.

"I see...!" Sasami said. It took her awhile to sort through her memories, but she remembered the other her preferring fighting games over this sort of thing. Despite that, she wouldn't mind trying it out.

Tying the ribbon up, she gave it a good pull to make sure it was on tight before her hands pulled away and moved to hug Reimi from behind. "Can I watch you?"

[seraphicthunder.livejournal.com]

"Sure!" exclaimed Reimi, letting Sasami hug her as she giggled. "We can play it together, and you can make fun of me when I do something wrong. Deal?"

[saint-sami.livejournal.com]

"Aww, I can't do that...!" Sasami said. "...unless you do the same to me! It's only fair!"

She smiled as she added, "Don't worry, I won't get upset."

[seraphicthunder.livejournal.com]

Reimi grinned, patting her little sister on the head before nodding. "Deal then."

She hit pause and started playing again through the beginning.

With a nod, Sasami moved to join her older sister, taking up a controller as Reimi restarted.

Leaning back a little, the tutorial (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kpa2vGt9AgI&feature=related) began. "Good thing we can play this co-op," remarked Reimi. "Most games before my time were single player in this kind of environment."

"I'm still not used to the graphics!" Sasami admitted. Ah, 1992. Back when the most impressive graphics out there was Mario and Sonic in 16-bit.

It took quite some time, and numerous washroom and food breaks but the pair had finally gotten through the bulk of the game, having saved and synthed and made so much stuff. "Finally!" cheered Reimi, stretching out as she yawned. "Been the entire day!"

[saint-sami.livejournal.com]

Sasami couldn't help but stretch herself. It had been a long gaming day and it wiped her out. "Wow, there was just so much to do...! Though, I'm glad we could do this...!"

[seraphicthunder.livejournal.com]

"Much better than spending the day in peace and quiet," said Reimi with a grin as the Good Ending played out on the screen. "I'm glad we can do these little things together."

[saint-sami.livejournal.com]

"So am I..." Sasami uttered. Reimi would probably notice something - the girl's lower lip trembling.

[seraphicthunder.livejournal.com]

"Hmm?" She did notice and leaned in. "Sasami are you... crying?"

[saint-sami.livejournal.com]

Sasami sniffled a bit and wiped away her tears. "I-I'm sorry, Reimi-neesan. I just... I guess I had too much fun. I rarely get the chance to do so and..."

[seraphicthunder.livejournal.com]

"Awww..." Leaning in, she wiped away a tear from Sasami's eye as she ruffled her hair and landed a kiss on her forehead. "Hey, you need to have fun once in a while. Growing up is good, but growing up and losing the time to spend time with loved ones in fun things is the worst. Trust me."

[saint-sami.livejournal.com]

Sasami blushed as Reimi reassured her. A smile forming on her face, she wrapped her arms around her sister. "You're right... I guess I've been so devoted to trying to be stronger and everything, I was starting to forget that I'm a kid..."

"We should do this again some other time, huh?"

[seraphicthunder.livejournal.com]

"Definitely. There's a lot of games out here and a lot of time to play it with. Sometimes you just need to let your hair down and have fun," said Reimi, ruffling her sister's hair.

[saint-sami.livejournal.com]

Sasami winced a bit as Reimi ruffled up her hair before nodding. "You're right...!" she said.

Moments before reaching back and removing Reimi's ribbon again. Hey, she said 'let your hair down and have fun', right?

[seraphicthunder.livejournal.com]

Reimi grinned as she let Sasami remove her hair ribbon. "Whatcha doin?" she inquired casually.

[saint-sami.livejournal.com]

Sasami smiled back as she replied. "Well, you did say 'let your hair down and have fun', right? So..." she said, toying with the ribbon slightly.

[seraphicthunder.livejournal.com]

"Hehehe true enough. Go ahead and have fun," said Reimi with a smile.

[saint-sami.livejournal.com]

With a nod, Sasami started to turn and run off. However, she turned back and hugged Reimi.

"Thank you, Reimi-neesan..." she said. A moment later, she reached up and removed one of her ties and held it out to her.

[seraphicthunder.livejournal.com]

She hugged her back, patting Sasami again before she took the hair tie from her with a smile. "Thanks Sasami."

And she reached up to put it on her hair.
