guestservices | AUDIENCE FOR: Lup

...

[they shake their head]

Okay, so we're going to the arcade, then! You have to know how to play Pac-Man. It's necessary.

Why is it so fucking imperative that I know Pac-Man...

[YOU'RE TEACHING VIRGO THE VORE GAME?]

[i didn't say it, you did]

You'll see! You should teleport us.

...

[they SIGH!!!! but they make a portal.]

This isn't really a fucking walk...

We'll walk when we get there, grouchy-pants.

[she makes a step towards the portal. she doesn't trust these things very much. bleh.]

[whether she trusts the portal or not, it does at least just take them straight to the arcade and not anywhere weird.]

...what the fuck is "Pac-man," anyway.

[yay, arcade!

she reaches over and just takes virgo's hand? we are going places. and by places i mean we are going right to the pac-man machine.]

So - it's this game where you're a little guy. And he goes around eating dots, while ghosts chase him, but if you eat a fruit, you can eat the ghosts instead. You want to try first, or watch me?

[well

unfortunately when lup tries to take virgo's hand, her hand passes right through theirs. i am going to hold off on having virgo say anything in case this would change how lup reacts immediately before they go to pac-man.]

[god dammit i forgot

it doesn't change much - she just stumbles slightly, and then makes a grouchy face before walking backwards towards the machine instead.]

[onward to the machine!]

So, what... do you when when you've eaten all the ghosts? Or when you've eaten all the dots?

You go to the next level and do it over again, but it gets a little harder.

[she seems amused.] The ghosts just keep coming, but they're fun to dodge.

...show me how to play it, first.

Got it.

[she moves over to the machine - and starts to play. she's not like, an expert or anything, but she can probably clear the first level at least.]

[they watch with interest... o: ]

I see. It does not seem too difficult...

It's not too bad, yeah - the big dots are the fruits, so just as long as you know there's one if you get cornered by ghosts, it's fine.

You try. I bet you'll be good at it.

[they... try it!

their hand passes through the joystick at first, but they focus, and it starts to move while their hand hovers near it. oooh, spooky.

they do passably well at the level, though they almost get cornered by ghosts a few times.]

[a spooky ghost...]

Oh - fuck, look out, there's a ghost there. [sorry, she's a backseat gamer]

Aaaaah, fuck!

{they get a fruit and eat it .......... and the ghost.]

Ayyy, you got it! Get 'em, you have like - a lot more time! There's that one too!

[VORES THE OTHER GHOST???]

[I MEAN LIKE YOU COULD USE A WORD THAT ISN'T VORE BUT LUP WILDLY CHEERS OBNOXIOUSLY]

[it's the funniest in context

anyway virgo laughs triumphantly, but then the fruit wears off and pac-man is vored by a different ghost that snuck up on him while they were distracted]

...oh.

[that's true it is

she kind of just laughs when they get vored.]

Aw, beans. Aw dang. You got eaten.

That is not what I wanted to happen. [a beat.] I am the one who eats people. I am not meant to be eaten myself.
