Probably not. I guess we just.. give it a try?

[ Presses a button. BATTLE START??? ]

[outdistanced]

[ he jumps a little at how the screen flashes and the music suddenly gets louder and scrambles to figure out which buttons are which.

FIGHT! ]

This is way different from the games we have back home...!

[punnier]

[ YIKES, jumps like a startled cat but uhhh. Okay. Buttons. That's simple enough??

Rolls a [3] okay they're just making the character run the opposite way, WHOOPS might be staring at the wrong character! ]

It does look like something from a fight though?

[outdistanced]

[ meanwhile laurence hasn't quite figured out the controls yet so his character is just punching empty air ]

What do you expect from a fighting game? [ hits another button and kicks empty air. ] Oh, come on!

[punnier]

All my fighting experience is in actual battles, not..

[ This!! Rolls poorly again, also starts punching air. They're both so good at this. ]

[outdistanced]

Actual battles?

[ that distracts him enough to hit the direction button and throw his character right at siffrin's. die, then. ]

[punnier]

[ He gets a good hit on theirs! Before Siffrin's character manages to counter the next hit. ]

Yeah. There were monsters my group would encounter on our travels back where I was called Sadnesses.

[outdistanced]

Monsters?

[ oh wait he got hit - winces and tries to fight back! which one is the kick button again ]

Why would you call them "Sadnesses?"

[punnier]

[ Rolls a 20... well, Siffrin gets lucky and does a really good combo in their next few button mash that does a decent HP hit! ]

It's a term they were given for as long as anyone can remember. Partly because Sadnesses are physical manifestations of intense negative emotions. Mostly that of grief and sadness.

[outdistanced]

That can happen? [ what

aaaa wait he's losing!!! BUTTON MASH TIME LET'S GO ]

[punnier]

It does in my world.

[ Backs their character up, wehe. ]
