Jaime's cell phone is more or less plugged riiiight into his brain, so he tends to pick up like 99% of the time! If not, however...

Oh so you did do tournaments. That makes sense.

But that's why I said it wasn't your style. You like attention even less than I do. Did he persuade you to do it with him or something?

[dragony]

I don't remember the ones from when I was really little very well, but I know I went to a few. They thought I was a prodigy. But then I was really ill all the time, too, so then I didn't have to do them anymore.

He was never good enough to qualify on his own, and even though he played games with me all the time, he was really slow at getting better. A little before I was imPorted, I was selected to participate in a really big tournament. I didn't want to do it, but Rua did. He wasn't invited, though, so he went in my place. He lost in the first round, of course, but it was really embarrassing.

[khajidont]

[ So Ruka had been sick, even back then...? Coming here must have been terrifying. ]

I'm pretty sure it was more than just thinking you were a prodigy

But it was nice of you to let him go in your place. Even if he DID fail the first round. How young were you when you started doing them if you don't even remember them that well?

[dragony]

Uh
well
I stopped doing them when I was three.


The invitational one was a lot later.

[khajidont]

Geez Louise

[ What was he doing when he was three? He doesn't know. He can't remember. Probably on account of the fact that he was three. ]

Okay scratch that you were definitely a prodigy [ Dang. How does he keep on making the smartest friends? ] You must have learned to play around the same time you learned to speak. What was the game? Does it exist here?

[dragony]

It doesn't. There's a lot that are similar, but nothing quite the same. It didn't originally exist in the other world, either.

[khajidont]

Would you ever want to remake it here? I bet you could

If you like it that is

Sometimes people are good at things that they don't even particularly like

[dragony]

[ there's about thirty seconds of Typing Ellipses blinking in and out before the message sends. ]

It's come up before, with Hiro.

It didn't pan out.

[khajidont]

[ ...right. Don't push it. Got it. Sometimes it feels like if you're here for long enough like them, even the most innocuous seeming topics are like navigating a minefield. ]

Yeah. That sounds like the kind of thing he'd be into.

[dragony]

Yeah. I could show you the specs sometime, if you're that interested.

Anyway, competition-type games are a little tiresome to me, anyway. I'd rather just play with the people around me. It's more interesting that way.
