Day Two, Legion and Mabel

[ineptus]

[After a little investigating of poor Kuzuryuu's body (but before the explosion of poor Yuya's), Mabel decides to seek out Legion. She's all twisted up inside over this murder, and she still feels bad that poor Legion was called out and accused like that.

Even if...there...may be merit to that? Whatever, Pines are Pines no matter what!

So she takes a break and seeks her adoptive sibling out, pulling him to the carnival.]

Come on come on! Let's play some games! I bet we can both use a break and a little cheering up!

We would enjoy playing games with you, Mabel-Sister.

[ At the very least, Legion doesn't seem bothered at all by being accused repeatedly, or even the fact that it seems like the most likely target for execution if it comes up. Though that's hardly surprising at all, all things considered...

Still, for now? There's definitely a note, however slight, of interest in Legion's voice. It does very genuinely enjoy playing games, so manual games like this one will be a new experience over the video games Legion is used to. ]

We have not played games of this nature before.

[ineptus]

Really? Carnival games are the best! You throw balls at targets, you toss rings onto bottles, you shoot targets with play guns. You do all sorts of things! And you get prizes!

[Legion she can't believe you haven't played these before! How can you not have played carnival games before?]

They're really great!

[Don't talk to her about the possibility that he'll be executed. She doesn't want that, nor does she want to think about that....]

[5_9]

[ it's hard being a No Fun Allowed robot, Mabel!! This is why Legion has you (and Ibuki), to teach him the ways of fun... ]

We have not played manual games before. We often play digital games—video games, however. We find them challenging and enjoyable.

[ Legion seems to consider the options, then continues, ] We suggest the target game. We are most likely to win prizes from this.

[ineptus]

We should play video games together too! [That's right. Let Ibuki and her disciple teach you how to play.]

Do you want to play a target game? It's not all about prizes, you know!

[5_9]

We would enjoy this. Our high score at N7 Code of Honor: Medal of Duty is currently unchallenged.

[ legion actually loves video games so it'd love to play with you, mabel... ]

Yes. We would. Even without prizes, accuracy calibration is always a good task to undertake.

[ineptus]

What kind of game is that? And okay! Target games is what we'll start with!

[Like how about one where you have to shoot these animals that pass? The smaller the animal, the more points you earn!]

This one we can play against each other too!

[5_9]

A battle simulation game. Our current score is 15,999,999,999. This is the max score.

[ legion loev games... But the plates on its head move as it bows its head slightly, a very shallow nod. ]

We would be interested in this. We will set an appropriate handicap.

[ineptus]

Wooooowww! I don't think I could beat you if your score is that high. But I think it would be fun just to play with you period! Does it have a co-op mode?

[Smiling bright, she hops up onto one of the stools, kicking her feet and grabbing her gun.]

Let's play then! You don't have to set a handicap, though. I probably won't beat you anyway, but that's really okay with me! I just want to play with you.

[5_9]

Yes. However, we think you would enjoy Galaxy of Fantasy as well. You could join our party. We are a Level 612 Ardat-Yakshi Necromancer.

[ what a cute team they'd be... team destructo

Legion will take a seat as well, though its light seems to focus curiously on the display. ]

We will at least set a minor one. Our sniping programs are based on precision. It is not fair to use them to play with an organic. Unless it is Garrus.

[ineptus]

[Mabel's eyes light up as she gasps a little.]

I would love to join your party!! What other classes are there? Can I be a princess? Or an assassin?

[She is so excited by this prospect. Her face is nothing by child-like glee.]

If you say so! I still don't mind. Is Garrus a friend of yours?

[Because that sounds like the kind of 'yeah we're best friends so I'm going to kick your butt' thing she gives Dipper.]

[5_9]

[ this is where I'm glad that the games aren't expanded on at all so I can totally make stuff up ]

There is a class that is comparable to both. The assassin class has a special branch for female characters. They are able to become assassin princesses.

[ so this is probably the best game in the world ]

He is another member of Shepard-Commander's crew. [ Legion seems to consider it, then adds, ] We do not know if we are friends. Most crew members are wary of us. However, Garrus often engages in "banter." Data suggests this is a friendly gesture.

[ and at this point he'll pick up one of the cute little toy guys to investigate it curiously ]

[ineptus]

[SCREAMS SHE GETS TO BE AN ASSASSIN PRINCESS!!!!!!!!]

That's me, that's what I'll be!!! I'll be your party's assassin princess, the lovely Mabeline!!! Beauty hidden within the shadows! [Her hands are up, fingers wiggling ~mysteriously~ as she says this.]

I think that means you're friends. It's called friendly banter for a reason!

[Back to gripping her little gun.]

Are you ready to play, big brother?

[5_9]

We are disappointed that we do not have access to game servers. We are in need of an assassin princess.

[ because who isn't tbh, but ]

We are ready. You give the signal, Mabel-Sister.

[ineptus]

I have an idea! I'll explain it after I kick your butt on this game!

[FOCUSES ON THE DISPLAY]

Ready...set...go!!!

[With that she starts the game and begins to shoot things. Rather haphazardly. Seriously it'd be a surprise if she won anything on her own.]

[5_9]

[ Which is okay, because Legion will definitely make up for it... Even though Legion said he turned off his sniping programs, he seems to be hitting every target with no problem and with a rigid sort of accuracy?? That's what happens when you play games with a robot... ]

[ineptus]

[Legion are you even having fun you don't look like you are having fun. But that's okay, maybe it is just because he is a robot.

She is definitely having a blast though, making happy noises when she hits targets and laughing otherwise. When the game ends, her hands go up in the air.]

That was amazing, Legion! You're so good!

[5_9]

[ You are definitely right, Mabel! Even if Legion doesn't exactly, you know, emote, those plates around its head are moving a bit more quickly like it's excited. ]

We hit targets with a 98.45% accuracy.
