[They can feed into each other, lack of expressiveness or no. Yugi's got enough for both of them.]

Looks like you might be right. It's hard to guess how... this would be part of a win condition.

[Seriously. It's a shirt. But Yugi is excited for Legion's prize anyway!! His excitement doubles when it's his turn, nodding determinedly at Legion before stepping up to the controls. Only the first few moments have the awkward movements one gets when still learning controls. But soon (very soon) he seems to have it down pat, collecting items and avoiding the nonsensical things that would make them lose (like that hotdog-dog rolling down the character's path). Even if there is no way to technically win here.]

This game is so weird, but I kind of like it? It doesn't really make sense yet, but it's not a bad game. It has rules and mechanics like a game should have.

[Said during a lull in the game - don't worry, they're not going to lose due to being distracted.]

(It's a feedback loop of being adorable!)

Affirmative. Though it lacks win conditions or overarching narrative, it remains playable.

(It's unique, that's for sure. They watch as Yugi deftly avoids the obstacles.)

You are skilled.

[silentmagician]

Yes! And it's fun to play. So, win-win. No pun intended.

[Gosh these two are going to be adorable gaming dorks together and that's completely fine.]

Thanks! Probably beginner's luck? I played a lot of games back home.

[Maybe not so much luck-based. Did he just find a secret bonus room in the level? That's a yes.]

[forwearemany]

Affirmative.

(Legion needs more people to be adorkable with. Let the nerdy robot be a nerd!)

If you have played games before, you are not a beginner.

(Maybe at this game specifically he is, but everyone is a beginner at this game, so does it really count?)

[silentmagician]

[Like Yugi's gonna try to prevent that. Nerd away, Legion, nerd away. Preferably with him.]

Well, if that's the condition then I'm not a beginner at all. My grandpa owns a game shop, so I've played a lot. Nothing like this one though!

[Annnd there's the end of the level. What's the prize for finding that cool bonus room and doing so well on the level?]

... ah. It's a rock.

[Not terribly exciting.]

[forwearemany]

(Their headflaps lift slightly at mention of a game shop. Definitely not a beginner then.

They wonder if Yugi's arrival will result in additional games being added to the world?)

...Affirmative.

(What is a rock going to be used for? It doesn't seem like much of a reward.)
