Or it'll cause irreparable damage to his development. No. It's too risky.

We don't even know if he'll still be with us when the time comes.

[fabrefactions]

I thought all kids came running at the thought of video games though...

[fiddlestick]

Haven't kids also been eating tidepods this year as a fad?
Just because he'd try it doesn't mean he should.

[fabrefactions]

So you want to play Lario Kart with them again...?

[fiddlestick]

No, but
I already agreed to it.

[fabrefactions]

Sometimes, Elliot... you are too kind for your own safety and wellbeing.

[fiddlestick]

Eheh, maybe so.

But she sounded so happy.
And I do want to get more chances to get to know her better.
It's just a game at the end of the day.

[fabrefactions]

[ It is not a game, it's a nightmare. ]

I will find a different way to get to know Makoto better. Perhaps in a way that doesn't involve yelling, or Rainbow Roads...

I think for them, it's a battle.

[fiddlestick]

I dunno about that. Maybe for Makoto it is.




But Haru's battles are a lot more gruesome.

[HE HAS SEEN SOME SHIT]

[fabrefactions]

Haru uses too many aqua shells and she is fully aware of it.

[fiddlestick]

[not the kind of battle he meant, but okay. He rather not dwell on that day anyway]

Yeah...

It is pretty incredible how she GETS so many...or does it just feel like she gets more because she relishes in it so much?

[fabrefactions]

[ they don't deserve to suffer so. ]

... Perhaps? But if she wants to win, it's not the best idea. You don't get them when you're in first place, do you?

[fiddlestick]

I wouldn't know. I've never made first place in that game.

[other games sure. But that game brought out a ferocity in people Elliot just didn't have]

[fabrefactions]

I managed it... once or twice? And it doesn't seem like you have access to them - they're specifically for messing with the person in first place.

[fiddlestick]

Ohhh, that would make sense.
Maybe...she just likes the feeling of using that shell?

[fabrefactions]

...

It's probably the power trip. Did you notice Haru didn't really play to win...?

[fiddlestick]

Not...really?

I remember I was a lap behind her, and she still hit me with a shell.

[fabrefactions]

Precisely.

I expect you will find she enjoys the chase rather than the act of winning. It is charming, if it is not happening to you I think.

[fiddlestick]

....I think you're the only one who would find it charming.

[fabrefactions]

Haru is always charming.

[fiddlestick]

[UH-]

Of course she is!

[fabrefactions]

Correct. She is strong, but sweet as well. It is a very charming combination.

[ GOOD SAVE, ELLIOT. ]

[fiddlestick]

[HE FEELS LIKE HE NARROWLY AVOIDED DEATH...]

Yeah! She's pretty incredible.

[fabrefactions]

[ He did. ]

She is. At Lario Kart as well, in her own way.

[fiddlestick]

[...]

So does that mean you want to be there when we play...?
