Hey! [ stops short as he gets a proper look at the room ] Whoa, are we inviting an audience or something? This is huge!

[9mon]

[he laughs, but he seems at ease in here.]

Nah, this is the dorm living room. There's just a lot of us living here.

[gogoghostpowers]

Ohhhh, it's a dorm room. Okay, that makes way more sense. This is where you lived back home?

[ throws himself onto the couch next to Kumon ]

[9mon]

Yeah! I've only moved in a little while ago.

[He'll turn on the tv and hand Danny the controllers.]

What kinda game do you wanna try?

[gogoghostpowers]

I played a whole bunch of stuff, so I'm down to try anything.

[ he takes the controllers and fiddles with them a little before holding onto them properly! ]

[9mon]

[Thinks about it- Street Fighter.]

Let's do a fighting game.

[gogoghostpowers]

Alright, you got it! I already played Sm*sh with Riff, so I think I know how these go on this console now.

[9mon]

Just let me know if there's anything you need help with. We'll just choose our favorites here and then we'll go!

[i'm crying i rolled a one. Curb stomb him.]

[gogoghostpowers]

[ WELL I ALSO ROLLED A ONE SO

I GUESS WE ARE BOTH JUST FAILING TO ACCOMPLISH ANYTHING AND THEN THROWING OURSELVES OFF A CLIFF AT THE SAME TIME ]

[9mon]

Okay! We're just warming up 's all.

[This is so sad and so, so pathetic. Good thing nobody else is around.

18]

[gogoghostpowers]

[ 12

Danny manages to get him down to about half health before Kumon absolutely destroys him ]

Yup. Stiiiiiiiill warming up...

[9mon]

It's your first time playing this one, right? As long as you're having fun that's the important part.

[Encouraging!

Kumon rolls a 6.]

[gogoghostpowers]

Dude, don't say it like that, it just makes it sound worse.

[ he rolls a 17 and thrashes Kumon in return this time. I will even let him have a sick combo or whatever ]

Okay, now we're talking! [ looks down at the controls ] Now how'd I do that?

[9mon]

[He laughs, nudging his shoulder against Danny's.]

Got it!

It was the combo! 'cause with fighting games the inputs are how you get the cool named moves.

[gogoghostpowers]

[ nudges back ]

I know what combos are, I'm not that ancient! I just don't know what combo I managed to put together to do that.

[9mon]

[Just the smallest doki that's wrapped up in friendly affection]

It's Up Up Left A A B for that one.

[gogoghostpowers]

[ two bros, chillin' in a dorm room....

Danny mimics the combo slowly, mumbling the steps to himself. ] Okay, I think I got it.

[9mon]

[Not thinking about anything other than being bros...

Once he's got that down-]

What's your favorite snack anyway? I just got a buncha stuff.

[gogoghostpowers]

Is all of them an option?

[ a beat. the beat is full of fun, jokey vibes. ]

Nah, I like D*ritos and Cheet*s the most. Oh, and sour cream and onion chips! Those rule.

[ canon gives us no snack preferences so my city now. and by city i mean snack preferences ]

[9mon]

[Not sweets!]

Good choice! I'll grab extra of them next time.

[Because they'll hang out again, right?]

[gogoghostpowers]

[ SNACKS AND SWEETS ARE DIFFERENT CATEGORIES OKAY YOU ONLY SAID SNACKS ]

Sweet. What about you? What're your favorite snacks?

[9mon]

[what is a twinkie, lisa? is it a dessert? no. it's a snack.]

I like anything spicy. Pretzels and popcorn are really good too.

[gogoghostpowers]

[ TWINKIE CAN BE A DESSERT IF YOU'RE TRASHY ENOUGH ]

Oooh, spicy and popcorn are good choices. Pretzels are too dry, though.

[9mon]

[NO]

Pff, aren't chips just as dry?

[gogoghostpowers]

Somehow? No. I don't know what it is, but pretzels are like, the dryest food on Earth.
