ITT: We are our avatars.

(Jeff frowns and Hal laughs at Jeff for taking Frank seriously.)

Hal: If you want me, I'll be playing Superhero Works Vs. Capcom 3.

(Hal heads over to the arcade machine that is somehow in the lobby and gets ready to pick his character.)

Hal: No freaking way!

(Hal looks at the machine, at Frank, and back at the machine.)

Frank:-Does the same thing Hal is doing now, looking at the arcade machine, then back at Hal, then at the arcade machine again-

(Hal does not mind that he is being imitated. In fact, he finds it a bit silly.)

Hal: @Frank: You're in this game! Maybe, they thought you were famous enough to warrant an appearance in this game. You wanna join me?

Frank:-Looks extremely surprised-

...What.

...You're not pulling my leg, are you?

Hal: I'm not pulling your leg. Look for yourself.

(Hal points at the screen. Indeed, Frank West is one of the characters on the character select screen.)

Frank:-Walks over to the screen, then scratches his head-

...Well. How about that...swear, they put anyone in these video games these days...

...So, what kinda game is this?

Hal: It's a fighting game. You pick three characters and then fight each other. First person to beat their opponents wins. You wanna join?

(Hal has picked Gene, Mega Man X and Asagi.)

Frank:-Shrugs, figures he's got time to screw about for now, and just picks three characters he knows, those being Chris Redfield, Jill Valentine, and his own-

Man, they put anyone into these things...I'll warn ya, I haven't really played a game like this in nearly a decade, so don't expect anything fancy...

Hal: @Frank: Okay.

(Hal has Gene move towards Chris Redfield and Gene does a standing Fierce Punch.)

Frank:-Did not remember to block, so the video game Chris gets hit...although, Frank seemed far more interested in the fight intro that played out when the match started-

Wait, wait, wait a minute...was that a zombie that just tried to eat that me in the video game?

Hal: They made a video game about you?

(Gene tries to get Chris in a combo, but leaves himself vulnerable as a result.)

Frank: I dunno. I just thought I saw a zombie try and eat the me in this video game. Is that all people actually remember me for, Willamette?

-Frank is just button mashing, so Chris is doing all sorts of maneuvers that Frank would not be able to understand how to actually pull off-

Reimu: *She joins up with Hal and Frank*

(Hal tags out Gene and switches out with Mega Man X. Mega Man X fires a few X-Buster shots at Chris.)

Hal: @Frank: That's a shame. I'm disappointed that they would only remember that one incident.

(Hal greets Reimu and is distracted by that. Perhaps, Frank can make a comeback in that moment.)

-Chris is chipped by the buster shots, but is button mashed into a Hyper Combo-

Frank: I don't know whether to feel honored or annoyed by it. I've covered wars and all sorts of things in my career, but it always goes back to Willamette and the zombies that people want to hear about...

(Mega Man X is KOed by the button mashing and hyper combo. Hal brings in Asagi and has her do her Level 3 Hyper, which is to summon the Battleship Yoshitsuna and order it to fire upon the arena. A huge laser blast hits Chris.)

Hal: @Frank: Wars, huh? I thought people would be over that like flies on honey.

-Chris is essentially KO'd, dragging in video game Frank-

Frank: Yeah, well, guess that's how the media swings, more interested in the conflict itself then the reasons behind the conflict...

Alright, let's see what they think I can apparently do.

-Makes Video!Frank take a picture-

Frank: ...Well, they got that down to a T.

-Laughs-

(Asagi is blinded by the flash and Frank gets some of Asagi's HP in the process. Hal laughs along with Frank.)

Hal: They even made it into a weapon.

Frank:-Starts having fun screwing around with his videogame counterpart. Among some of the things he says are...-

Guess my video self shouldn't have had so much to drink. Whew, look at him go, hah hah!

Wow, an airplane swing with a zombie...I gotta try that myself if I ever get into more trouble with those guys.

Wait, that shopping cart...seriously, that looks just like...that crazy supermarket owner! How'd they remember that out of all the things I wrote in that book about that incident?

(Hal is having fun playing with Frank. Asagi is KOed. Gene is tagged in and he uses some of his Super Mater to yank off his Deistic Brace. Gene starts beating on video game Frank.)

Hal: @Frank: They're big fans of the fighters they put in. Anyways, you are doing better than expected.

Mana: *looks at Frank and Video!Frank* Whoa, weird. There's one video game that has me in it, too. I have no idea why they even made that, though.

Frank:-Shrugs-

@Hal Just press buttons, that's how you win, right?

@Mana ...Really? Wow. Was kidding about you being a star. Make. Video games. Out. Of. Anything.

-Video!Frank is beaten to within an inch of his life. However, Actual!Frank does pull off one last hyper combo, causing Video!Frank to shove a Servbot mask onto Gene's head and unleash his inner wrestler, for a small amount of damage-

Frank: ...................................................

-At this point, just lets go of his side of the controls, and starts laughing uproariously, just pointing at the screen, finding what Capcom did right there Actually Pretty Funny-

Hal: @Frank: Yeah. It's an unpredictable strategy.

(Gene puts his brace back on. Gene taunts Jill few times, causing their Super Meters to rise in the process.)

Frank:-Is not too motivated to finish the match quite yet, and takes a good thirty seconds to finish laughing-

Okay...okay...I'm good now...*whew!*...Okay, sorry about that. Just...wow. Didn't expect whoever made this game to make me do that...

Reimu: *She watches the match* "I have one word for this: Whoa...."
