but he's gotten used to dealing with this from kids, so ishi accepts the hug easily enough, giving him a little pat on the shoulder. hm. maybe this place is making him homesick?]
We can always go somewhere a little different, if that would help. I understand that familiar atmospheres in an unfamiliar place don't always ease one's mind.
[yeah he definitely is just assuming taka is really homesick or something.]
I can't say that I do. These are unfamiliar to me-- though if you don't mind showing me how, I can certainly try.
[he's just over here because they're very noticeable, honestly, but he doesn't miss the way taka cheers up slightly at them. teach local grandpa how to game, y/n]
[give him a second because considering his size and all the fabric involved in that outfit, he probably has to kind of squeeze in and arrange his sleeves again while he gets settled. he is absolutely not dressed for this.]
--there we are. I take it this is what I'll need to use?
[there's a little lever of some sort that he assumes must be it? okay. pedal located. the wheel obviously turns, and the lever is for speed, he's got it.
yeah this is probably not going to be fine, but still.]
This seems simple enough so far. Will I need anything else?

[he manifested like this, okay.]
no subject
[ he pauses
and then he's just suddenly hugging him. ]
no subject
[that was
entirely unexpected?
but he's gotten used to dealing with this from kids, so ishi accepts the hug easily enough, giving him a little pat on the shoulder. hm. maybe this place is making him homesick?]
no subject
but for now, for whatever reason, he seems to also accept this
very nice hug. ]
no subject
ishi lets this continue for another few moments before straightening, smiling down at him gently.]
There we are. Do you feel better?
no subject
[ he just felt like hugging ishi? and he still doesn't seem weirded out by it, but he's not entirely sure why he wanted to hug him. ]
no subject
[yeah he definitely is just assuming taka is really homesick or something.]
no subject
[ he can't explain what it is because he doesn't fucking know ]
Nothing.
no subject
[it doesn't sound like nothing, but he also knows interrogating someone his age on that Does Not Work, so.]
But if it's nothing, then surely we should find something else to occupy ourselves with.
no subject
[ because he's 15 ]
no subject
Nor have I. It's at least worth seeing, if nothing else.
[so he gestures for taka to come along, they're going to the bar and ishi is here to supervise.]
no subject
going to this fucking seedy ass bar together then after hugging ]
no subject
but ishi pauses after they walk in, taking a moment to look around the place.]
It's a bit... louder than I expected.
[it's the music, mostly. he proceeds inside, though, still taking the place in.]
no subject
this is not that loud in comparison. ]
You get used to it or you go deaf.
no subject
[because he's sure not going for the other option!
time to investigate the arcade games, because he also is not going directly for the bar. that can wait.]
no subject
... and he also seems a tiny bit more cheerful that it's the games they're headed to. just a bit. ]
You play?
no subject
[he's just over here because they're very noticeable, honestly, but he doesn't miss the way taka cheers up slightly at them. teach local grandpa how to game, y/n]
no subject
[ he walks to a racing game, the kind that has a steering wheel and everything. ]
Sit here.
no subject
[give him a second because considering his size and all the fabric involved in that outfit, he probably has to kind of squeeze in and arrange his sleeves again while he gets settled. he is absolutely not dressed for this.]
--there we are. I take it this is what I'll need to use?
[gesturing at the wheel, there.]
no subject
[ surely this will be fine ]
no subject
[there's a little lever of some sort that he assumes must be it? okay. pedal located. the wheel obviously turns, and the lever is for speed, he's got it.
yeah this is probably not going to be fine, but still.]
This seems simple enough so far. Will I need anything else?
no subject
[ he starts to press the buttons to begin the round ]
no subject
[he prepares himself, watching the screen, and when the round begins, off go all the cars--
except for ishi's. he drives slowly away from the starting line... and promptly overcorrects the wheel to drive right into an obstacle.]
-ah. This is... a bit harder than I expected.
no subject
oh my god ]
You have to go faster!
no subject
[apparently, yes, because he does increase his speed
and promptly crashes again]
