On a technicality, I guess...

[deto]

I’ll take it.

[ a win is a win, bc he’s lost twice in a row!

back on subject: ]

We can do an adventure game. If it’s single player, I don’t mind just watching. Puzzles could be fun, too.

[justonezero]

There's adventure games for two players. It won't split the screen, we're just fighting our way through stuff as the stage scrolls through.

[A platformer beat 'em up!]

There's some stuff you can only access with two players, so it'll be nice to check 'em out!

[deto]

Reminds me of when we did dungeons together. Can I claim you as my personal healer?

[justonezero]

This one doesn't really have healers, but I'll carry us to victory if I need to!

[Getting up to get it set up!]

[deto]

[ as if yoshi doesn’t always carry them to victory

he catches yoshi’s hand - his fingertips, really, and squeezes them anyway. brief, playful. amusement in the corner of his smile ]

I like this. Your date.

[justonezero]

[It's a surprise, when his fingers are caught for that split-second, but a welcome one judging by his warm grin.]

Pretty different from Fragment, isn't it?

Getting into games like these are what led me to play in the beta, so... I wanted you to see some of my favorites, so you could see it for yourself!

[deto]

[ fragment… the highs were pretty high, but the lows were actually deadly… glad they got out even if he does miss some things

he doesn’t think he’ll ever be a big gamer, but that’s fine, probably. there’s something about watching his favorite person do his favorite thing ]

Do you play a lotta games where you have to save the world?

[justonezero]

Hm? ...Yeah, I guess I do? Most of those are single player though.

[deto]

Wow, so my fiancé has saved the world many times over.

[justonezero]

-Huh?

I don't think those count...

[deto]

You can’t uncount something that’s already been counted. Though personally I think you should take a break from saving the world, Yoshi. You’ve done your part.

[justonezero]

It's not like they're real worlds with real people or anything...

[deto]

[ right, yoshi has that weird hang-up about digital stuff. and though deto knows that’s not quite right, it’s the least complicated way he can phrase it in his mind ]

But you played to the end and saved them anyway. Unless there were bad ends - were you the villain in any of the games?

[justonezero]

Sometimes! Usually when a game has multiple endings, I play until I've gotten every one.

[deto]

And how long does that take? In terms of dates.

[justonezero]

It depends on the game, and what the ending conditions are!

[deto]

My condition is to have a fun adventure with you.

[ saving the world is optional ]

So how many dates?

[justonezero]

Hmm... I think we can probably get at least a couple months' worth of dates out of them! Unless we decide to cheese it by saving right before any important decision points.

[deto]

[ longer than he thought. how long does yoshi usually spend on these games by himself… ]

And that… what, shortens the amount of time for us? Nah, I wanna savor Yoshi time.

[justonezero]

Going to brave it from the beginning each time, huh? But that's fine, it means we get to try different dialogue options along the way!

[deto]

[ huh… is that what not cheesing saves meant?

dialogue options hadn’t seemed to matter to lily or cubia or whatever the heck his name was. but deto supposed real life was programmed to be less hopeful in some ways ]

What’re usually our choices? Like a nice Yoshi answer and a mean one? …………Can you be mean?

[justonezero]

I can be mean! ...In video games. Usually the mean options are snarkier.

[deto]

[ his lips twitch ]

I love when you make that face.

[ too bad yoshi is a couple of steps away setting up the game. no kiss for now ]

Okay, you need to prove it with a villain arc.

[justonezero]

-Huh? What face?

[He says, ruining it immediately.]
