Some Route Or Other

[provillainmove]

[That's a quirk he'd never seen before. Fire, sure, but that was a giant flaming rock, and that's far more interesting, so for a little bit Misaki has been being watched, from a safe distance, by a thoroughly unkempt but clean late-teen in black, accompanied by an equally unkempt looking pidgey perched on one shoulder.

Once she switches to pokemon battling the way that actually gets the pokemon exp, they get significantly closer, but are apparently too polite(cough) to interrupt until she speaks up and to his ears sounds unhappy.]

Yeah.

[The response is a dry rasp, and the pidgey nods firmly alongside Tomura's response, bobbing a bit as it does so.]

It's just a game, so don't over think it and kick that weedle's ass. ...With your pokemon, they don't get experience otherwise.

[torinoko]

...I think my children played something like this.

[She sighs, but she does pause to look over Tomura. This child....looks kind of like they got left in a gutter. Hm. She doesn't like that. But overt concern is beneath her...and might spook them, anyway.]

Very well. Use ember, Fafnir. It seems vulnerable enough to fire.

[provillainmove]

[Shigaraki played something like this!

He just can't quite put his finger on which one specifically. It wasn't this one exactly he knows that.]

Probably. They were super popular for a while. Big one these days is Monster Hero Battler X-Treem 6, but it's pay to win and the only players who get anywhere are the ones who cough up cash to get their hands on Sun Phoenix All-Might.

[By his tone he does NOT approve. He adjusts his gloves a bit before shoving his hands in his pocket, eyeing the charmander. Fafnir, huh?]

They like it if you sound enthusiastic. Gets you hearts and stuff. Just starting out?

[He has exactly one pokemon, he TOO is just starting out, probably.]

[torinoko]

[Misaki just kind of...blankly stares into the middle distance. When she was Shiragaki's age...

Well when she was Shiragaki's age the entire world ended because of an MMO, so maybe bad example.]

My usual partners are quite capable of acting without needing spoken commands. This seems tactically unsound--ah, there you go.

[She wasn't wrong about Ember just decimating that poor Weedle, though. Good job, Fafnir!]

[provillainmove]

It's not about 'tactics' in this case. It's about playing by the rules, which is usually bullshit, but if you want to win their prizes you gotta do it by their terms. You can't just let your pet monster do everything for you.

[Shigaraki has Opinions about MMOs. More about gachas, but the world hadn't ended because of one yet where he's from. He jerks his chin towards the charmander, and the now flame broiled weedle.]

If he can do it all himself, what good are you? But the critter needs the experience, so you gotta participate somehow. Teamwork, power of friendship, all that idiotic stuff.

[torinoko]

You're a little young for a nihilist.

[Misaki, you were younger. But she shakes her head a bit.]

So they're children and pack hunters. That's fair enough. But rules are meant to be broken, so I suppose it's time to find out how well they learn hand signals.

[provillainmove]

You have no idea.

[Like everything else, it's a dry and unpleasant rasp; his voice isn't ever going to be nice to listen to. There is an irritated, put-upon sounding sigh as she declares rules are meant to be broken - ordinarily he'd agree, but in video games that shit is hardwired in, and without cheat codes such defiance isn't going to get anywhere.

She didn't look like she had cheat codes.]

Hand signals are active participation, lady. You're not being some rule breaker by using them. Modern RPGs are already rigged for sign languages, for ... inclusion, or whatever. You gotta know something about games.

[torinoko]

[People told her physics was hardwired into the universe, too, and see how that ended up.

Two apocalypses, Shigaraki, TWO.]

Well, I could just go back to doing it with my bare hands, but there are limits to the amount of animal cruelty I'm willing to inflict, even on fictional ones.
