[laughs]

Now it seems almost cozy. I guess that's the power of nostalgia.

That guy totally wants the job so he can screw around, doesn't he.

[nagaremono]

Naturally. Ah, and there's the pinball machine...

[iflookscould]

Which he mysteriously isn't suppose to mess with.

So of course he will and then it will be the catalyst for an event that is disturbing. As these things go.

[nagaremono]

[sigh]

I do have some sympathy for children getting into things that they shouldn't touch, but ... this is just foolishness.

[iflookscould]

[and then a girl appears]

Seeing how stupid girls make guys act makes me glad I have no hormones.

[nagaremono]

"Help me, Ahito. My poor music box needs healing."

[iflookscould]

That does nothing for me.

Also, shut up.

[nagaremono]

I could try speaking in a higher pitch?

[iflookscould]

[SHOULDER PUNCH]

Oh, there he goes with the game. Any minute now something will happen.

[nagaremono]

Ow.

How much is a quarter worth?

[iflookscould]

...................I don't know.

Must be a lot if he wants them so bad though.

[nagaremono]

They do go into the game ...

Those zombies remind me of another TV show. What was it?

[iflookscould]

I'm not sure. I think they kind of look like the guys from that Men In Black thing. Or the uh. The Matrix?

Or maybe those guys from The Legion of Extraordinary Dancers.

...water defeats them? Seriously? Water? They are defeated by the most common substance in the world?

[nagaremono]

This is as bad as War of the Worlds.

[iflookscould]

Oh. Look.

The girl from before but now she is a princess.

This is really dumb.

[nagaremono]

Most of these stories are, if there's no real cause.

[iflookscould]

No mushi in the machine?

[nagaremono]

Not with that large of an effect, unless he's hallucinating.

[iflookscould]

Hallucinating is entirely possible. If the machine was contaminated in some way, consistent contact could have caused this.

Oh a headband turned into a crown.

Magical.

[nagaremono]

I suppose if there were something inside the machine that could host them. And if they fed off the pleasure he's deriving from this activity.

[iflookscould]

Why are we analyzing this stupid thing? Is this what we've come to?

[nagaremono]

Is there really anything better to do?

[iflookscould]

No.

Oh look he saved the princess.... Yay.

[nagaremono]

... he might actually get to live.

[iflookscould]

Do they always die in these?

[ohm nom snacky cake]

Because that would be more interesting.
