"Good to hear."

Pietro rises to his feet.

"Well, I think it's about time I got something to eat. You wanna come with, Shoto?"

Gesturing for Shoto to follow, Pietro begins heading for Windhelm.

Rbade's brain flips a switch, and pumps a fist in the air.

"Fuck yeah, let's see if we can beat Tiamat in a video game!"

"I call P1!"

Ami tilts her head. This isn't quite an adventure... Oh well!

"Ah!" I want to play!

Rey just gives Rbade a look like 'bruh'. He vaguely gestures in the direction of a water tank without actually saying anything to indicate he wants water.

Then he sits up. "Actually, if we're playing Smash, can I be P3? Yellow's my favorite color. Also..."

He pulls a Nintendo Switch in a carrying case out of fucking nowhere. "Thanks for the extra controllers, Tia, I only have three."


Narktus is almost dazzled by the style of Mara's move, but he snaps out of it in time to deflect the thrown swords with his lightsaber. He then transforms it into the Power Pole and spins it around, making it look like he's trying to use it as a preemptive guard - but then it suddenly stops spinning and extends at Mara with enough velocity to knock her off her feet if it hits.

Hotel Del Rey

Tiamat's other aspect — Lahkmu, judging by the color — grabbed the drinks and water and such, and delivered them to those who had requested such, before, merging back to Tiamat herself.

"Certainly, certainly. And thank you for bringing your own Switch, it's actually surprisingly frustrating to conjure one fresh!" she said, conjuring herself and Omega onto a couch. "I'll take P4. Hmm... Might experiment with a different fighter. I usually run Falcon but maybe not this time."

"???"

"Oh shush, I won't bite. I know that you're nervous when sitting close to people, but I figure that this should help you out a bit."

"Uh... oh. Yeah, I guess that's fair," he said, shifting with mild discomfort from how alarmingly easily she had read his nature. "I guess that leaves me with P2 then? Blue's a good color. Hmmm... Kinda feeling Ganondorf today. Or Ike... Fuggit, Ike Time."

Ami hops onto one of the couch's armrests, using it as a seat.

"Hah!"

I don't think this woman's ever played SSBU before.

"Ah, right, can we have a P5?"

"Also, as to who I'll be... hm..."

Rbade thinks.

Rbade grins maliciously as he starts to hum the first few notes of Megalovania.

There are enough controllers.

Rey gets his Switch hooked up to the nearest lounge TV, then closes Breath of the Wild and boots up Smash.

"I've been playing the shit out of Breath of the Wild, so I'll play Link round 1 because why not. As for Tiamat... well, I'll be honest, I didn't think you'd be a Falcon player. If you're looking for an alternative, why not Terry or Byleth?"

If Rbade looks at the Mii Gunners, he will see that a Sans has already been made... and so has an abomination which Rey has labeled "SANSHEAD". There are also versions of Rey's own Mii for every single Mii Fighter type.

"I'd have no complaints about a fifth player, certainly."

"Same here."

Tiamat and Omega waited patiently.

"Hmm... Terry seems an interesting sort, though the Inkling did also catch my eye."

Oh god, Ganondorf would not have been a wise choice today, Omega thought to himself. His [Stand] manifested and shook its head judgingly at him.

"Ah!"

She proudly selects Princess Peach.

Rey chooses Great Plateau Tower for the stage. Seems like despite letting Rbade be P1, he's still putting himself in control of his game. After a moment to make sure everyone has the characters and palettes they want, he chooses Link in the Fierce Deity alt costume and begins the match.

I rolled 1d10. 1 would mean Rbade won with difficulty, 2 would mean Rbade won cleanly. Same applies with 3 or 4 for Omega, 5 or 6 for Rey, 7 or 8 for Tiamat, and 9 or 10 for Ami. And I rolled a 10.

Peach... WINS!

Omega calmly lowered his controllers, having involuntarily activated his [Stand] due to getting maybe just a little too hot-blooded, and said, "Witchcraft."

"Good game, good game!"


The Past

Megan popped her neck a bit, and stood up from her meditation. If Lacia and Samaleel could read her 'energy', her 'aura' so to speak, they would pick up on something — Megan was, perhaps on a subconscious level, damn near chomping at the bit for a fight.

"Right, straight to the fighting or am I getting ahead of myself?"

Rbade chose sans do you do you think he's taking this seriously.

Ami squeals in delight. She won! She kept spamming Peach's counter while the others were attacking each other and that worked, somehow. She's found her main.

"I choose my man, Society Monkey."

"Hmmhmmhmhmhmhmhmmmm Shulk in Shorts. Sshhourlkts. ... I'm sorry, that was horrible," Omega said, somehow producing a word out of that cluster of sounds as he switched to Shulk in Shorts.

"Quite," Tiamat replied, swapping over to Pink Wolf.


Sea of Ghosts

From some forgotten realm, a strange-looking ship appeared, shrouded in mist and fog, appeared. It was pulsing with magical energies, seemingly propelled along by both elemental engines and arcane sails, as it's triple-bladed bow cut through the waves like cleavers through meat and bone. Speaking of bone, though, it seemed like this vessel was at least partially made of bone, and furthermore possessed a number of shifting, moving parts.

Though... the strangest part by far was the fact that it seemed to be moving and adjusting despite having no apparent crew. Even to scrying magics, there would seemingly be very little life on this ship. Perhaps it would be worth investigating?


The Past

Megan drew her blade of pale blue, rune-carved steel, which gleamed and shimmered with focused intent.

"Then I'll give you the first blow, Lacia," she said, taking up an agile, prepared stance, and readying herself to dodge and make a counterattack.

Mara falls for it and gets hit in the stomach, getting knocked on the ground as a result.

She gets back up immediately, but doesn't attack back this turn, instead creating one shield to her left and one shield beneath her feet.

Rolled a 6.

Captain Falcon... WINS!

"Don't fuck with the main!" declares Rey with a fist-pump, having landed Falcon's d-air spike offstage for the finishing blow after trying it all match.


Narktus switches his weapon's form back to a lightsaber and takes a guarding stance, trying to prepare for whatever Mara might do next.

Mara then makes the shield to her right spin, and when it's gotten some speed, she taps it in the center, breaking it up into 8 small, pizza-like pieces, which then suddenly charge towards Narktus. They aren't exactly sharp, but will explode upon contact with anything.

She does nothing with the shield underneath her feet.

Narktus sees the attack coming...

and in a surprising move, he switches off his lightsaber and lets it hit him.

Mara will have about five seconds to comprehend why before he unleashes an almost-identical move, but with a six-point star shape rather than a circular one. The shards slowly home in on her pointy-end-first like guided missiles, and will each explode multiple times on impact. And it'll hurt. A lot.

If Cyber or Mara have any sense for this kind of thing, they'll get the sense that this isn't a borrowed or mechanically-emulated power - this is Narktus' own ability.

Mara looks a bit surprised, whereas Cyber tilts his head, continuing to watch in interest.

When the counterattack gets launched, Mara stomps on the barrier beneath her, making it explode and sending her up into the air. Then, as she notices the attacks home in on her, she draws swords and throws them down at the attacks, trying to make them explode prematurely.

"What a coincidence that we would have such similar techniques."

The shards explode before reaching Mara, but Narktus suddenly appears behind her while her focus is on that, and attempts to elbow her in the back of the head and then stomp-kick her away.

Omega stroked his chin thoughtfully, and selected random on the chance they did another round.

"You know, I think I know some other fighters that might be a good test of your skills and might, if anyone has an interest in something of an optional boss fight," Tiamat said, selecting Backwards Luigi.
