Show Conversation

Andas: I still can’t do much with my power.

Jean: When I was two days old it was just sparks.

Andas: Well I’m three, not two. What I can do is maybe a little better than sparks.

Jean: That’s right. We were all made one week apart. That makes me ten.

C-Bot: Days.

Andas: No wonder Chris says we struggle with focus :p

Jean: I dunno. I think it might just be us.

Jean: Our sis is actually pretty smart and our bro is a serious guy.

Andas: Yeah actually I do remember C-Bot saying most of the naivety burns off in the first week.

Jean: I can focus! Just not on, like, boring stuff.

Andas: And I hyperfocus. On movies. And music. And games. I’m basically a multimedia savant. :p

Jean: Except books.

Andas: Oh, yeah. Books can eat sand.

Jean: I don’t think I even know how to read.

Andas: Wait, seriously?

Jean: I dunno. I never tried.

Andas: ...

Andas: So, time to beat each other up, I guess.

Jean: Yay...

Andas: I’m not really jazzed about this.

Jean: Yeah I hate getting hurt. Plus I bruise easy.

Andas: Getting hurt is dumb. Nobody bleeds in video games. Except maybe feelings. And thumbs.

Jean: And egos!

Andas: Yeah now that I think about it, there’s a few people I WOULDN’T want to play against ‘cause of the tantrums.

Jean: I mean, I don’t like to lose, but it’d be preferable to having to actually fight.

Andas: Could you imagine having to battle Chris via console game? And he loses?

Jean: I dunno, I think he’d be good at it.

Andas: Really?

Jean: I think it comes with the territory of being many thousands of years old. He must be good at everything.

Andas: Yeah, I suppose. He’s probably never made a mistake since he was like, mortal. Jeez, winning or losing against him would suck either way. He’s so gloomy and obsessed with his research. He’d suck the fun out of it.

Jean: And managing to beat him would defs be worse.

Andas: So much worse. Anyway, it’s too bad we can’t settle things now with Dead or Alive.

Jean: Sure is. You’d have an unfair advantage though.

Andas: Don’t you like any games?

Jean: Not really :/

Jean: I don’t like any kind of violence so this sort of existence sucks.

Andas: :/

Jean: But there’s jobs for crushers on this planet that don’t involve fighting. We just don’t get the sweet early retirement.

Andas: Well that’s okay then.

Andas: Just got to push through the odd compulsory punch-up.

Jean: Mhmm.

Andas: We sure do.

Jean: Yep.

C-Bot: Unbelievable.

Jean: Oh! You never told me what your power is!

Andas: Didn’t I?

Jean: Nope!

Andas: Suppose a little demonstration is in order then. Stand back and prepare to be amazed as I reveal my super awesome super cool super special superpower!

Jean: ^_^

Jean: Sounds super.

Andas: Drum roll please!

Andas: ...

C-Bot: Tick tock.

C-Bot: Get on with it.

Andas: Okay, er, here I go.
