When we move out we'll have to get a console of our own, but either way we'll need two controllers, so I thought it was a good idea to get one now.
[Hehe]
Oh, that's a red shell! Red shells automatically follow the person in front of you to hit them and slow them down. Meanwhile, green shells don't target anyone, so you have to aim them before firing.

[Turning on the TV and booting up the console. He's already got M*riokart in there, with all stages and characters unlocked.]
no subject
[ welp, time to grab one of the controllers and face his doom, maybe. he takes a seat on yoshi’s bed, rather than the ground ]
no subject
There's an in-game tutorial if you want to try.
no subject
Yeah, let’s do that. This is the racing game, right? My strategy is to channel Oria’s driving.
no subject
Oh, um - use the joystick for directions and press A to select. B is for canceling your choice.
no subject
[ he’s only ever feared for his life a cooouple of times and one of them was with oria ]
Uh, okay. Is there… drifting? That’s a thing in racing, I remember.
no subject
[The tutorial is easy at least, guiding him through the different controls.]
no subject
Did you buy this recently? The second controller.
[ so far he’s avoided driving into any of the funny boxes ]
no subject
Ah- if you run into the boxes, you'll get an item. And collecting coins makes you go faster, too.
no subject
Nah, it’s quite cute how excited you are. [ as he slams into a box ] What’s this red thing?
no subject

A two-room apartment then? One for our bedroom and then a gaming-study room.
[ he goes for an npc, humming with satisfaction when the shell hits ]
This is kinda like batting the ball. I could get used to this.
[ …probably… ]
no subject
no subject
[ is he already strategizing? maybe ]
no subject
[With a gaze that's definitely flashing back to all his thwarted near-wins.]
no subject
[ he gets a star next and the jingle starts as he accidentally mows down the other drivers ]
I feel like this one would be you if it turned people pink instead.

[ and then there’s the tutorial finish line. he doesn’t make first or second, but third isn’t bad ]
I think I got it. But I’m guessing the courses get harder - or weirder.
