Who: Legion and ... you?
What: Videogames and failed attempts to befriend horrible monsters
Where: Beach, forest
When: Early November
Content Warnings: None so far.
A) The humorous option
(The storm is sudden and intense, forcing them to dash for cover not from the rain, but the cloud to ground lightning.
They are on the beach, and not much shelter exists, save for the shadow of half a couch sticking out of a particularly large pile of garbage.
It is not a particularly good shelter, however their own nature protects them. As a being composed of mostly plastic, they are a poor target: electrical charges move freely within their circuits but they make a poor conductor between the lightning and the ground.
Contrary to stereotype, the rain does not bother them.
They are attempting to figure out the safest method of leaving the area when they hear their videogame console turn on.
They take it out and look at it uncertainly, but it appears to be functioning as normal. Their headflaps ripple contemplatively.
This is not an ideal situation for playing but ... they've missed their games. It does not take long to succumb to temptation.
And thus, anyone else who is out in the storm might see them huddled there, videogame console in their hands.)
B) The sad but also humorous option
(These creatures are not their people.
Their people are ... gone.
As the afterlife clearly exists, it is possible Legion will see them again someday, but for now, there is nothing, save for the promise of continued existence in other timelines, and these creatures born partially from their memories.
They are quiet, not wanting to alert the Geth/Zumyu animal as they approach.
Once they get close enough, they lift their hand and toss a large piece of mushroom at the tail lure that looks so much like one of their people.
SNAP! A flurry of movement. The predator devours the food in two gulps.
And then, it sees Legion.
With a horrible garbled mechanical noise it charges.
This reaction was unanticipated: they thought feeding it would help! They don't have much time for other thoughts before they turn to run, screaming in Geth.)

Now that he can get a better look at the device it does look like something right up his alley.]
One-player game?

(After a moment they shift so that Seto Kaiba can look at the screen. It's not any game that was made on earth, a sort of digitized version of a spacy strategy boardgame. If explained, it might be a little like chess, but the goal is not to trap a king but to claim a homeworld.
Normally, it'd be two player but the console currently only allows for player vs AI.)
Does Kaiba-Seto desire a turn?
(They can close out their game and start a new one for him if he wants.
...They're curious to see how fast he can pick it up.)

[Though there was a decided note of longing to check it out for himself, Kaiba didn't think it was apparent. So he leaned in a bit to watch, still feeling ridiculous for their current position. The game looks interesting enough, considering it's been months since he's played any.
The longer he observes the more he starts to think it's set on some basic principles. It's all about dominating the available area, claiming territory to squeeze out the opposition.]
Once you get to a save point.
[Assuming there was one. He wasn't going to demand Legion abort his own playthrough immediately. Who knows how long the storm would last]
no subject
(They already know they'll win at this point, and sure enough, they do, in about that amount of time.
They offer the handheld to Kaiba.)
