Jump on…?
(Immediately runs into a monster and dies.)
ǫᴜɪɴᴄɪ
Oh, they don't care about the flag.
They just don't like the little plumb'a guy you're play'n as.
Also, 'ya gotta jump on their heads 'ta kiII'em.

Why would they care for some silly little flag…?
(She starts playing. It’s going badly. Like when a parent tries to play the newfangled game their kids love.)
ǫᴜɪɴᴄɪ
Well you're gonna have enemies and obstacles try'na stop 'ya the whole time.
Gets harder the further 'ya get in the game.
𝙎𝙬𝙚𝙚𝙩 𝘽𝙪𝙩 𝙖 𝙋𝙨𝙮𝙘𝙝𝙤
(She sits down as well. Familiarising herself with the controls and the game ahead of her on the screen.)
Is that it? That doesn’t seem like much of a goal to hit.
ǫᴜɪɴᴄɪ
Yep!
( Taking a seat! )
So all you're s'posed to do is keep go'n to the right 'til 'ya get to a flag pole.
𝙎𝙬𝙚𝙚𝙩 𝘽𝙪𝙩 𝙖 𝙋𝙨𝙮𝙘𝙝𝙤
Must you insist on pointing out how easy this game should be?
(Qunci sighs. Frankly, this feels a little goofy to do for someone like her.)
ǫᴜɪɴᴄɪ
Niiiiiice.
( Hook line and sinker! )
Let's start 'ya off easy with one of the newer Mario games.
They're like, baby easy.
Since it's 'ya first one.
𝙎𝙬𝙚𝙚𝙩 𝘽𝙪𝙩 𝙖 𝙋𝙨𝙮𝙘𝙝𝙤
Ugh. Fine, fine. Just the once.
ǫᴜɪɴᴄɪ
Cuz it's fun!
And 'ya don't even gotta be mortal for it.
C'mon, just once?
𝙎𝙬𝙚𝙚𝙩 𝘽𝙪𝙩 𝙖 𝙋𝙨𝙮𝙘𝙝𝙤
I don’t see why?
ǫᴜɪɴᴄɪ
Well now 'ya just gotta.
𝙎𝙬𝙚𝙚𝙩 𝘽𝙪𝙩 𝙖 𝙋𝙨𝙮𝙘𝙝𝙤
I’ve never played a video game.
ǫᴜɪɴᴄɪ
Well 'ya wouldn't play a video game 'ya can't lose, would 'ya?
A challenge isn't fun without stakes!
And be'n kiIIed is some pretty big stakes!
𝙎𝙬𝙚𝙚𝙩 𝘽𝙪𝙩 𝙖 𝙋𝙨𝙮𝙘𝙝𝙤
That sounds completely insane.
ǫᴜɪɴᴄɪ
Y'know funny thing is, pretty sure I have more fun BECAUSE I can die.
