Back to the House [Open]

Clone branding? Tapestries? Stupid statues who want to show you your past, no matter how traumatic it was?

Real annoying!

At the moment, Sasami's busy laying on the set of carrot-pillows scattered across the second floor, relaxing after that run-in with the statue. Thankfully, her omnicomm's "mysteriously" misplaced, so she doesn't know about Superboy's freak-out over the clones (and if those in her home knew about it, they obviously weren't telling her). Staring up at the ceiling, she just lets the sounds of the household echo through as they go along their business, content with what's going on.

Hanging up proudly on the wall nearby was her new "Barrier Jacket", slightly worn from her romp in the Tapestry Planet, ready for another use if need be. And if what the Tapestry showed was true, it might be sooner than she thought.

"...we really could use a break... again."

(OoC: Yeah, another group post with those in this house! Don't be shy to come in and poke around! Someone'll hit ya up!)

"They did, years ago. Eventually technology grew and grew until we were playing games in the holodecks rather than playing them on consoles. Sounds kind of silly, isn't it?"

Poom poom Hadoken-rip off, KO. Round 2!

[saint-sami.livejournal.com]

"It does sound silly!" Sasami agreed, getting ready for Round 2... and fouling up from the word go. "I mean, how can you have fun with these if they're just in one room?"

"It's just how progress went I suppose," replied Reimi, hitting Sasami's character a couple of times and pressing back to block. "Games got more elaborate. True there's consoles back in my home world but they're by far only really used for home gaming, and not the big stuff."

[saint-sami.livejournal.com]

"Big stuff?" Sasami asked, pressing the attack. "Like what?"

[seraphicthunder.livejournal.com]

"People use them to play fighting games, adventure games, that sort of thing. Anything you can get your whole body into," said Reimi, blocking constantly since Sasami didn't give her an opening.

[saint-sami.livejournal.com]

"Oh...! So, sort of like the Sensoriums!" Sasami said, giving Reimi that opening.

[seraphicthunder.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, holodecks are our answers to Sensoriums," replied Reimi, kicking out with her character.

[saint-sami.livejournal.com]

"I-I see..." Sasami said, realizing she's screwed up...

[seraphicthunder.livejournal.com]

"There's a charm about playing like this though," replied Reimi, pressing her advantage.

[saint-sami.livejournal.com]

"And that is?" Sasami said, trying to fight back and watching her own advantage disappear quickly.

[seraphicthunder.livejournal.com]

"We get to do this together," answered Reimi, scoring the win.

[saint-sami.livejournal.com]

Sasami looked disappointed as Reimi beat her fair and square. However, what she said was true and that put a smile on her face.

"You're right, that is the best thing about it all...!"

[seraphicthunder.livejournal.com]

"And I'm glad to spend it with you," said Reimi, hugging her sister with one arm.

[saint-sami.livejournal.com]

"And I'm glad to do so with you, too." Sasami said, pulling herself closer to Reimi as she hugged her.

"You wanna try another game?"

[seraphicthunder.livejournal.com]

"Of course! Anything you want to try is fine with me." replied Reimi.

[saint-sami.livejournal.com]

"Okay...!"

A good hour or so would pass as the two continued playing before Sasami ended up calling it quits.

"Wow... you were good...!"

[seraphicthunder.livejournal.com]

"I was just lucky at times," admitted Reimi, setting her controller down and massaging her numb thumbs. "Never knew how fun these were though till now. Thanks Sasami."

[saint-sami.livejournal.com]

"You're welcome...!" Sasami said, nodding, before noticing her thumbs. "A-Are you okay, Reimi-neesan?"

[seraphicthunder.livejournal.com]

"Oh I'm fine. I'm just not used to using my thumbs like that for games. We'll have to have a little more moderation next time," said Reimi.

[saint-sami.livejournal.com]

Sasami couldn't help but blush. She didn't realize she wasn't used to it.

"Sorry. I'll remember next time...!"

[seraphicthunder.livejournal.com]

"It's all right. I didn't realize how much button pressing was involved too." She giggled at that, getting sensation back into her thumbs.
