Oh, yes! Playing games does sound like fun! I am afraid I am not very good, but I have played many of these games with Beast Boy and Cyborg. What sort of video game shall we be playing? A racing game? Or perhaps one with tiny figures upon the screen that we shall have fight to the death?

No?

....I am sorry, but I have never heard of an "Exsilium," or a "Gargle-blast." What sort of games might those be?

The kind you have no option but to play.

[Wow, that is a very young, very peppy Starfire. Curious.]

[starbolting]

. . .

I do not understand what you mean. What variety of game can force a person to play it?

[greenteengenius]

It is a game for your mundane. You are simply the game piece. Exsilium, for example, takes place in the midst of a war and isn't what most would consider an enjoyable situation.

[Maybe she would, though. The Starfire he knows seems pretty warlike.]

[mgann]

I only know of one, and it's not much fun.

[starbolting]

Then you are more knowledgeable in these games than I am! Would you care to share what it is you know?

[wing_of_night]

For starters, they're not video games, Star. They're 'games' to our muns. For us, it's more like getting kidnapped and shoved into another world.

[Must... resist... urge to glomp...]

Robin!?

[ Forgive her for being startled. She wasn't aware she had traveled to the future here. ]

Oh. I apologize. It is "Nightwing" now, correct?

[starbolting]

[ And then she processes what he said- ] Have you been kidnapped as well, then?

[wing_of_night]

[Oh, Dick is well aware of that reaction and totally understands.]

You can call me whatever you want, Star.

Sort of... see, I'm from a parallel version of your world. For me, the Titans weren't formed until we were in our twenties, meaning I helped found the team as Nightwing. Of course though, the bond we share - [And with her in particular.] - kind of trumps dimensions.

But yeah... my world kinda... reset. My mun didn't like the new direction, so I'm just kind of here as an interdimensional consultant of sorts.

[He peels off the mask.] It's been far too long, Kory.

[conner_el]

It's uh, it's kinda complicated.

[Yeah, he's kinda staring. Since when was Kory his age?]

[starbolting]

They are complicated games? Then, they are perhaps more like chess?

I have learned chess from Raven, though I am not very good at that either.

[doubledragon]

Those are the kind of games that are games for the muns. To us, it's kind of...us. As in real. But not all of them sound so bad! That gargle one you said has lots of traveling through the Star Ocean.

I am unsure what space might have to do with gargling. Is that not what one does when they brush their teeth?

[starbolting]

Oh! And I simply must let you know. Those colorful reptiles on your back are adorable!

screams

[umadrobin]

Ha. And here I thought I'd have Rae all to myself.

...good screams or bad screams?

[starbolting]

What have you done with Raven? [ Look at all of the trust in her eyes right here.

Wait, that's not trust. That's the glow she gets when she's ready to use her powers. ]

[erodedbutterfly]

Uh... Star? Your mun's not exactly talking about video games.

[starbolting]

TERRA!

[ Guess who just... completely zoned out any actual words coming out of Terra's mouth?

Flying hug incoming. ]

[skirtcladgunner]

The crappy kind. Especially if you actually know that Red X clown and my mun isn't just lying.

[starbolting]

Why do you suspect they are lying? Do they often lie to you?

I do know of Red X, although I do not find him particularly funny. [ Worst clown ever. ]

[feel_nevermore]

Role Playing Games. But I'm afraid we're not the ones playing.

...The mundanes are.

Raven! [ Her face lights up with a smile. ] You are well!

[starbolting]

I do have one question, if I may.

What sort of game is a "role playing?" [ She knows what a role is, and what playing is, but not when used together. ]

[acro_bat_ic]

Sort of sounds like something you'd drink...

[starbolting]

I do not believe one should drink what one gargles.
