[The noodle can be found in the dining room, poking at some food with an uninterested look on his face. It seems he doesn't have much of an appetite.

But he will look up when Takumi enters the room. What's the redhead holding?]

[goldenmaniac]

[One of the games from the rec room. In fact it's an undocked Switch]

Watanuki-san! Are you busy?

[foundfate]

I'm-

[That. That is a Switch.]

...free? But what are you doing with that thing?

[goldenmaniac]

[he sits across from him, sets the system up on it's little kickstand... and hands him a Joycon]

Play with me.

[foundfate]

...

[Welp.

What game does he have on there?]

[goldenmaniac]

[Its totally Mario Kart. Look at these puppy eyes, who could say no]

[foundfate]

...you know I'm terrible at video games, right?

[It's not a no, but don't expect him to be a challenge.]

[goldenmaniac]

If I wanted to play with someone good I'd bother... I dunno, Akira-san or something. He looks like he's played games before. But I wanna play with you.

I already said Watanuki and WATANUKI both are my friends, so there's no escape.

[How did he distinguish those with his voice we just don't know]

[foundfate]

[Takumi has used 'embarrass the noodle'. It's super-effective!]

Why me? I'm really not that interesting, you would be better off playing with someone else!

[That said, he doesn't sound displeased to be chosen for such a thing.]

[goldenmaniac]

The ways of Aiba are very mysterious. I just want to.

[foundfate]

...

[...]

Well...I guess I can't say no to that.

[He might seem a bit less reluctant to join Takumi, though, after something like that. How can he say no to someone who genuinely wants to be around him?]

[goldenmaniac]

[He sets up the game, giving Watanuki one of the joycons and showing him which buttons do which]

It's pretty simple! Think you got it?

[foundfate]

It's not that hard, I'll manage.

[He's...not the best at video games, but he's not as bad as some people. He can at least stay on the track.]

[goldenmaniac]

So... that means I don't have to hold back?

[foundfate]

Not at all.

[I mean. Takumi was going to win regardless, it won't hurt Watanuki's feelings.]

[goldenmaniac]

[Let's play! Though I mean, it's Mario Kart, so with those rubberbanding AIs it's probably not so clear cut.

He has no issues trying to win, but it's not FUN if he doesn't stir Watanuki's competitive spirit!!]

[foundfate]

[...I mean. His emotions are broken right now, so he's not really going to get super-competitive. There's no joy to be found in winning.

Though he does seem to keep snickering at the misfortune that befalls the AI. Especially when they fall off cliffs.]

The computer drivers aren't very smart, are they?

[goldenmaniac]

[That what he was afraid of. Damn it]

Don't underestimate them! You never know when a blue shell will come at the last minute and snatch victory right out of your hands.

[foundfate]

Those blue shells are bullshit and you know it.

[goldenmaniac]

Heheheh... maybe a little bit~

[foundfate]

[Spoken as he sends a blue shell up Takumi's way.]

[goldenmaniac]

Waaaa-!!! No no no-!!

[He was gonna win!!!]

[foundfate]

[Wow, look at that 2nd place computer player become 1st place and win.]

[goldenmaniac]

[Takumi flops over onto the table]

Ahhhh, curse my hubris!!!

[foundfate]

[Well, it got Watanuki to laugh, at least?]

Your hubris still has three races to go.
