Talking with Autor and Bonnie about the Milliscouts has Quentin wondering about what kinds of video games Bar might have. At the counter, he's in jeans and a t-shirt and having a conversation by napkin about consoles and what games might work.

After about fifteen minutes of napkins, he has two different consoles, a Wii and something that seems to be like an XBox but from another world, Bar said it was better. He also has a collection of games, a bag of potato chips and some soda, the process of balancing it all requires thought but he makes his way to the couches without spilling anything.

Along the way, he looks far too graceful as he just misses various seats and then he starts the process of figuring out how to set it all up.

Tiny tag: Quentin (October Daye)
OOC: Catch him at the counter, walking to the couches or setting up.

Minx clears her throat, trying not to laugh. "Um, no. That doesn't go in there." She holds a hand out to him. "Would you like some help?"

[heatherandsteel]

"I thought it did, it looks like it should,"

The cable seems to be the right color but the shape is wrong, this other console is weird. Its similar to what he knows but also off, if he didn't know better he'd think a Fae built it.

[myshootingstar]

"It doesn't." She smiles, sitting down with him. "I have one at home, and up in my room. I've set these up a few times." She starts pulling it together, neat and quick.

"I take it you're not much of a gamer?"

[heatherandsteel]

(OOC: One of the consoles isn't an earth based one, one is a Wii, he's already set that one up. And sorry, teenage boy with noble breeding, he's going to be a brat.)

Quentin gives her a look, its a teenager combined with centuries of noble breeding, "Yes, I'm a gamer. This console is almost like an XBox but its not."

[myshootingstar]

She gives him a sympathetic little smile. With a lot of cheekiness behind it. "I tell you what, once we work out how to set this up, you can challenge me to a round of Tekken II and show me how good you are."

[heatherandsteel]

He's used to cheeky and far prefers it to treating him like an idiot, "Deal, but its not Tekken. I told you, this system isn't from my Earth, but clearly its closer to yours than mine."

Slowly he leans back and hands over the case of the fighting game for the console, the name is 'Duel of the Fates' and the cover has characters who aren't human. That's normal for a video game but the name of the company is Shere and the logo looks like a claw mark.

[myshootingstar]

"Sure, why not." She leans back in the chair, reading the box. "You'll have to give me a few rounds to warm up then. This one looks tricky."

[heatherandsteel]

"I've never played it before, Bar gave me this along with the Wii since she said it would be a fun system."

[myshootingstar]

"Ah, then we'll be on equal footing. Even better." She smiles. "Any particular reason you're setting up out here rather than somewhere quieter? I have a feeling a Wii tournaments could get quite rowdy." And idea she clearly likes.

Liranan, the immensely large brown mabari hound, is sneakily trying to steal the bag of potato chips.

He is the stealthiest war dog in the multiverse.

Really.

"Liranan!"

Nothing escapes the eye of Ysalwen. Nothing.

"I'm sorry, Quentin. I hope he's not trying to steal anything important."

[heatherandsteel]

Quentin notices Liranan as he finally has one system set up and grins at him, "No, just some food but its not opened and it would be noisy if he bit into it."

[freedom_is_grey]

"I'm not sure he's going to care about that."

In fact she's sure Liranan doesn't give a damn.

[heatherandsteel]

He turns around and offers Liranan his hand to sniff, he knows he smells weird to dogs and says,

"Potato chips aren't for dogs."

[freedom_is_grey]

He does not smell weirder than darkspawn.

Liranan barks, then whines, just a little.

But he wants the loud crunchy bag. It could be fun!

"Potato -- chips?"

What?

[heatherandsteel]

"I'll show you,"

Slowly for maximum effect, he opens up the bag and offers it to Ysalwen, they're sour cream and onion chips with ruffles.

[freedom_is_grey]

"Oh, that's -- "

Her nose wrinkles.

That, of course, is when Liranan leaps up and attempts to make off with the bag.

[heatherandsteel]

Quentin holds on, his best friend is a cat and he's stronger than he looks, "No, not for you."

[basic_powers]

Oh look, junk food! And soda! With videogames, only one console of which that Tyler recognizes.

It's a few more bags of junk food and another bottle of soda away from being a 10 year old's kind of party.

"May I play too?"

[heatherandsteel]

Quentin has the console he knows set up and is in the midst of the other one and grins at Tyler from where he's sitting on the floor, "Course, more fun with other people."

[basic_powers]

"Yes!" Tyler hops in the air a moment before dashing back to the bar. "I'mma get a bean bag and some snacks for me."

It doesn't take long before the kid is slowly making his way back, dragging the bean bag behind him, with the 2 liter bottle of god-know-what soda under an arm, and a purple glittery plastic grocery bag full of snacks hanging from his mouth.

He hasn't caught Enzo to really play any games with, and well...sprites and video games are a weird thing.

[heatherandsteel]

When Tyler comes back, Quentin laughs and makes space for him on the floor before laying out the array of games, "Which one should we play first?"

They range from Mario Cart Racing to strange and pretty covers and Quentin opens the chips he got.

[basic_powers]

"Fmmrreeoo carff." Tyler says around the plastic bag as he shoves the beanbag into place next to Quentin. Rummaging around inside of the glittery plastic bag, he pulls out a packet of those sweet and spicy watermelon seeds that one usually finds in Chinatown. Politely enough, after grabbing the controller, the boy offers out the bag once he's gotten a mouthful. "Want some?"

[heatherandsteel]

He nods and grabs a handful as he's not sure what Tyler just said, "Which one?"

[basic_powers]

"Mario Cart," Tyler beams, crunching on his mouthful as he replies. Really it's the easiest game and very nearly the most entertaining.

And it gives him a chance to see if those things might exist in the Garage later.

[heatherandsteel]

"Right, these are kind of good. What are they?"

Maybe the Luidaeg would like them, she likes weird combinations and he reaches over to set up the game, handing Tyler a controller.
