“Behind the scenes, huh?” Sharcade responds as Benjiro starts to grin behind his mask enough that he actually briefly looks away from the camera in an effort to keep from laughing. He knows what’s coming from his gaming buddy. She grins with pride, “You do realize we roped Ben into a game ‘just once’ and now he’s UVPulse.”
CrashLime chimes in after, “It’s all like having a giant gaming party and no one has to fight over controllers or couch seats. What’s not to love?”
Fast as the chat happens to be moving, Benjiro notices the caption Walter gives himself in relay of the verbal exchange. His friend is thoughtful to others as always.
Watching as the match in the game comes to an end with Sharcade declared the victor, CrashLime glares at his webcam as he acknowledges her triumphant dancing, “Yeah yeah…enjoy while you can. I’ll get you next time! NEXT TIME!!!!!” and promptly switches to an AFK notice to take his break.
Benjiro shakes his head softly and speaks up again to redirect the remaining two other gamers into the next stage with a change over to the text based game, “And on that loud note, shall we defy gravity in Moonbase Pretext?” With a positive response from both, Benjiro swaps the feed over and opens the game before passing the mouse over to Walter. The title screen loads with a pixelated view of Earth from the moon with a fully formed base in the foreground. “For anyone not familiar with this game, it’s a turn-based text game that requires you to work together to get a base up and running for science! The crew members each have their own personal secrets and goals, and shenanigans are likely. Speaking of… Sharcade, please don’t lock Walter outside the airlock.”
“I’d never!” her response playfully indignant.
“You would and I have multiple video files worth of proof.”
Sharcade giggles only for her expression to falter, “Ah…sorry. My game isn’t booting right. Let me reinstall. Should just take a couple minutes.”
“No problem. The title screen has a new view, even if it’s not as good as the real thing.”
Yes good! Then I am doing my job
