Video Games?
"Miles? ....What is this?" Noir stared at the item shoved into his gloved hands with absolute bafflement.
"It's a game controller! You use it to play video games!" Miles gestured towards the TV, which had the newest version of Super Smash Bros loaded on it. Everyone had chosen a character and entered the room nicknames, except for Noir.
".. What's a video game?" Noir pressed a few buttons on the controller, intrigued.
"Oh, wow. Okay. A video game is an electronic game that you can play. Sometimes it's with friends, sometimes it's solo." Miles rubbed that back of his neck. "It's kinda hard to explain. You'll just have to see for yourself."
Noir nodded and Miles went back down to the bottom bunk to sit back down with Gwen and Peter B. Peni and Porker flanked either side of Noir in the top bunk. Miles' roommate was currently nowhere to be seen.
"Porker, how do I pick a character?"
Porker snorted and leaned closer to Noir. "Use this to move your curser-" he pointed to the joystick, "-and this to select," Ham then pointed to the A button.
After a few moments of struggled, Noir eventually settled for choosing Ridely. The character looked interesting enough.
The macth began, and Ridely was immediately tossed of the side of the map. Noir furrowed his brows and glanced over to Peni's controller. She seemed to be using the joystick to move and the buttons to fight. He decided to mimic her.
After about two minutes, the battle ended. Peni was in first place with her Inkling while Noir was in last. He felt slightly out of place as everyone let out heavy sighs.
"Peni! Go easy on us, geeze!" Gwen called out.
Noir quielty put down his controller and decided to just watch. Porker, who had picked up on Noir's wish to stop playing, kicked the taller man's character out of the game.
At the end of the night, Noir decided that he was enjoying watching everyone else play. Maybe now that he had observed the way the game was played, he would join in next time.
