Ultimate Gamer Birthday

what: birthday gaming tournament!
when: March 14th
where: hallways; Game Club
warnings: idk, excessive fun??



A

[ Throughout the first half of the month, after classes (on days when Nanami hasn't been drawn into the forest again), Nanami can be found wandering the halls of Yogen, putting up posters. The posters have crudely drawn illustrations of all sorts of animals on them, for some reason; those with keen eyes may notice they're the exact same style and quality of drawing that has been on most of the posters advertising the school store recently.

GAME CLUB OPEN HOUSE

GAMING TOURNAMENT!!!!

MARCH 14TH AFTER CLASSES


She'll also hand out invitations individually to every single transfer student she can find. Yes, every one. No exceptions. Please say you'll come.

At other times, you may find Nanami playing on her new Game Girl Advance, barely looking where she's going as she wanders the halls. Watch where you walk, or she might bump into you! ]

[ After classes on the 14th, the Game Club has been decked out in its finest. The Nanamis really went to town.

There's flags and banners up everywhere to commemorate the event. To the side, a table's packed full of food - snacks, sweets, hot soup, drinks, the works. There's even a cake. (Maybe somebody figured out why the Nanamis chose this date of all days, after all.)

As for the tournament itself, gamers have options! Anybody can challenge people one-on-one or in small groups, of course. But the main tournament has been designed after the Nintendo World Championships. The blackboard displays high scores for three separate events:

DK Jungle Parkway (Mario Kart 64)
Super Smash Bros. 1P (any character)
Bob-omb Battlefield (Summit Star)

The N64 has been hooked up to the television, and anyone is free to play any of the events and record their times on the chalkboard. A winner will be chosen by the end of the night.

Nanami herself has as much energy as anybody's seen her have, jumping back and forth between playing against people on the N64, making sure the tech is still running, and checking on anybody looking a little lost or out of place at the party. She wants everybody to have a good time - so if you're feeling awkward, she'll probably run up to you directly and challenge you to a game, drag you over to the food table, or just warmly greet you and thank you for coming. ]

Haha, wow... Looks like you lost!

[ he lowers his arm and the system back down toward the girl, not too interested in it overall. ]

Watch where you're going and maybe it won't happen again, yeah?

[ he's extending it toward her, but if she tries to reach for it—

—he's going to pull it out of her reach again. just because he can. ]

Depends on the game.

[ it's what he says as he lowers his wrist to tap the game device lightly against the other's forehead. if she moves to grab it, he'll let her have it this time.

he scoffs with a half grin as he does so. ]


But I don't think we'd like the same games.

[ he shrugs, not affected whatsoever when nanami takes her game system back. he had no intention to keep it after all, and she earned it. he guesses.

he's taken aback slightly by her sudden affability, and he tilts his head with a curl of his lip. ]


Oh, yeah?

[ she's gotta be full of it, is what he's thinking. so of course he says the immediately most offensive genre on his mind. ]

Death games.

[ not even a lie in itself, since he would like them... but of course he's never played any stupid games like that. he's too busy with other things — preoccupying himself with actually killing and such.

but if he did...

actually, he probably did during his time where he experienced solely school memories here. annoying. ]

[ honestly, her frightened expression just ends up making him scoff a laugh — it's a kind of reaction he likes, even though he supposes it's far to easy to get out of a rabbit-looking person like this.

that's how he's thinking of her now.

what he's surprised about is that she keeps engaging with him, even bothering to hand him a flyer. he raises and eyebrow, tilting his head before fingers brush around said sheet of paper and he pulls it away from nanami to skim it over himself.

not his thing per se, but — ]


What's in it for me?

[ a beat. ]

Don't say something stupid like "fun!", by the way.
