When Marco stumbled across the media library, he concluded that this had to be the best day so far on this freaky meatship.

Music. Massive screens. A giant, alien entertainment centre. And, most importantly - video games.

Marco was immediately drawn to the tall white box with the strange looking controllers. He snorted when he saw the name "Wii" (who though that was a good idea? The puns where almost too easy) but hey, this was clearly gaming of the future. Or gaming of a strange and bizarre alien race - it was hard to tell. Either way, it was cool, and Marco was so going to try it out.

He fished around for a vaguely interesting looking game, bypassing all the ones that looked boring (Wii Fit? Cricket? Imagine: Fashion Idol?! pfft), eventually settling on Escape from Bug Island.

Marco had been a bug before. Waaaaay too many times. Now he could squish them in safe video game fun.

But as Marco began to play, his good mood rapidly diminished. Who thought up this whole "swinging around the controller" thing? What the hell was going on with that animation?

"What the hell is with this?!" He yelled, as he tried to get the control to do what he wanted dammit. "This is nuts! GAMING OF THE FUTURE IS CRAP!"

[[ooc: For reference, this is the extraodinarily bad game Marco is playing.]]

"Used to meeting all these comics characters! Superboy, Nightwing, Robin...man, it's just nuts." Marco's grinned widened even more. "And hell yes."

"Superboy and Robin are cool. I don't know Nightwing so well, but Robin likes him." And with that, he was carrying Marco through the halls at superspeed. In less than an instant, they were at the sensoriums.
livestoannoy: (Grin)

Okay.

What just happened?

"Dude, did you just...man that is cool!"

[identity profile] speedforbrains.livejournal.com 2009-11-28 08:46 am (UTC)(link)
Bart beamed. "It is, isn't it? Being fast is awesome. I'm a superhero, you know."
livestoannoy: (Smirk)

[personal profile] livestoannoy 2009-11-28 08:51 am (UTC)(link)
"I know, I read your comics."
livestoannoy: (Grin)

[personal profile] livestoannoy 2009-11-29 01:35 am (UTC)(link)
"Yeah, you were in The Flash, and you've had your own title for a few years," Marco said, still grinning.

[[ooc: I'm going with Marco as being from 2001 or at least somewhere around then, so, sorry if I've missed any titles Impulse is in before then]]

"Kewl!" Bart beamed. "Do you have any I could read?"

[[ooc: Just Young Justice, I think.]]
livestoannoy: (...Dude)

[personal profile] livestoannoy 2009-11-29 07:00 am (UTC)(link)
"Sure. Just let me find my invisible bag that I take with me to all the trans dimensional living ships that just pick me up from alternate universes while leaving all my personal belongings behind."

Marco? Sarcastic? No!

[[ooc: Damn you Wiki! Err...let's just pretend that Marco momentarily forgot that one. XD]]

[identity profile] speedforbrains.livejournal.com 2009-11-29 08:30 am (UTC)(link)
Bart nodded eagerly. "Okay! What does it look like? I can help find it!"

Bart? Occasionally clueless? Yes!
livestoannoy: (Okay are you stupid?)

[personal profile] livestoannoy 2009-11-29 08:35 am (UTC)(link)
Marco rolled his eye. "Dude. It doesn't exist. All my belongings are back in my now non-existent universe."

[identity profile] speedforbrains.livejournal.com 2009-11-29 08:37 am (UTC)(link)
Bart frowned. "Then how will you get your comics out of it?" Then the other part registered. "We're gonna fix it, you know. Your universe'll exist again. Mine too."
livestoannoy: (...Dude)

[personal profile] livestoannoy 2009-11-29 08:39 am (UTC)(link)
Marco sighed, and gave up. "If it actually is non-existent. For all we know, these guys are just playing around with us."

[identity profile] speedforbrains.livejournal.com 2009-11-29 08:46 am (UTC)(link)
Bart shook his head. "Whatever the deal is, we'll figure it out and get home. It's what we do. Me and my friends, I mean."
livestoannoy: (Grin)

[personal profile] livestoannoy 2009-11-29 08:49 am (UTC)(link)
Marco grinned. "Yeah. I know." He turned and looked around at the sensorium. "So, you going to show me this VR thing or what?"

[identity profile] speedforbrains.livejournal.com 2009-11-29 05:05 pm (UTC)(link)
"Oh, sure!" Bart opened the door. "Actually, I'm pretty sure the sensorium is VR, but I can get it to make one of my favorite games from when I was little."
livestoannoy: (Thinking of that awesomely funny joke)

[personal profile] livestoannoy 2009-11-30 06:50 am (UTC)(link)
Marco nodded. The sensorium being VR made sense. But still, Marco hadn't exactly figured out how to play games on it. "Sounds awesome."

[identity profile] speedforbrains.livejournal.com 2009-11-30 02:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Bart was very used to playing VR game. It only took him a few seconds to figure out how to work the sensorium. Then they were surrounded in deep, dark jungle and holding highly advanced guns.
livestoannoy: (I see your might. Where's your tremble?)

[personal profile] livestoannoy 2009-12-01 05:34 am (UTC)(link)
Marco grinned when the scenery changed. Sure, he'd already tried out this place one or twice - but it was still very cool.

He felt a little out of place with the guns, though. Despite the fact that Marco had fought in a war, he wasn't that familiar with them. Mostly they used morphs to fight. He had fired the odd Dracon beam, but they were fairly simple to operate.

[identity profile] speedforbrains.livejournal.com 2009-12-01 05:43 am (UTC)(link)
The guns were pretty simple. Bart saw him looking at them and held his out. "See, you press the trigger to shoot. You can set it to stun, kill, mildly spark, deep fry, whatever on the side, and when you've gotten enough points, the green button lights up and you can use Ultra Mega Killapalooza mode. But you gotta be careful cause that'd wipe out everyone in range so you've gotta warn me so I can run away."
livestoannoy: (Unusually silent)

[personal profile] livestoannoy 2009-12-01 06:09 am (UTC)(link)
"Mildly spark?" Marco raised an eyebrow. "And how exactly do we get points? Actually, who are we fighting?"

[identity profile] speedforbrains.livejournal.com 2009-12-01 06:15 am (UTC)(link)
"Ummm. Anything that moves, I think. I never actually looked at the directions. As for points... run through anything that's floating and it'll give you something." A small but ferocious rabbit burst out of the bushes. "Watch out!" Bart shouted. He zapped it and it exploded into coin-shaped thingies. "Sweet!" Bart ran through them and they vanished.
livestoannoy: (Grin)

[personal profile] livestoannoy 2009-12-01 06:20 am (UTC)(link)
Marco laughed. "You have got to be kidding me! Is this Mario?"

[identity profile] speedforbrains.livejournal.com 2009-12-01 06:25 am (UTC)(link)
"What kinda dumb name is that? This is Alfredo. Oh! You need a hat!" Bart handed him a bright blue hat with an A in a white circle.
livestoannoy: (...Dude)

[personal profile] livestoannoy 2009-12-01 06:43 am (UTC)(link)
"Riiight. Alfredo. Of course," Marco wracked his brains, trying to remember if this had ever showed up in any of the comics he'd read. Maybe he'd missed an issue?

He stared at the hat and raised an eyebrow. "And this does...what, other than putting a big blue target on my head?"

This was definitely different to playing any console game.
