[ holds this gun... ]

Are we to shoot people?

[ ...? ]

Or... no, are they undead?

[ that, she can maybe understand ]

[outdistanced]

Looks like zombies to me. So aim for the freaks who don't look normal.

[ pauses. euphausia has three eyes does she know what normal is.





well it's probably fine ]

[trifocal]

[ that sounds so mean...

she holds the gun, looking a little uncertain as the game starts. then a zombie lunges at them, and she shoots with a surprised yelp! it goes down. ]

Oh... I got it...

[ there are like four more coming. arcade shooters don't give much time to reflect. ]

[ embrace your inner murderer

funnily enough, laurence also yelps when a zombie leaps at them. but he’s also impressed?! ]

Whoa… good reflexes.

[ not that they have time to be! he tries to shoot one of the others, but his own reflexes aren’t as good. it takes a few tries. ]

I didn’t think it would be this many!

[ looks back at the screen and gasps! ]

Look out!!

[ shoves him... away from the machine. ]

[outdistanced]

Ahh!

[ not even a chance to react. he's just shoved?! stumbles into another machine. ]

What're you pushing me for?!

[trifocal]

I-I'm sorry! They were coming right at us, and I just reacted...

... Are you all right?

[outdistanced]

They're just in the game.

[ picks himself up. ]

Maybe a little bruised, but I'll be fine.

[trifocal]

I feared that they might jump out at any moment...

[ looks back at the screen... ]

... They cannot do that?

[outdistanced]

No, no, it's just a screen. They're not real.
