>>5795121The cool thing is, you explain as your foe teleports around the area cackling like a familiar scientist, whoever programmed this game took into account where you step and what buttons you’re pressing… even with two players!
“So…” your date mutters as she just barely dodges another <span class="mu-s">SPACE LANCE</span>, “What for?”
This bastard reacts to your moves and attacks, you explain as you slip in and wallop the knight again! So you can’t just spam attacks or he’ll hand you your head!
Sure enough, your <span class="mu-s">SPACE MACE</span> strikes true… and with a resounding <span class="mu-s">CLANG</span> the <span class="mu-s">BLACK KNIGHT’S</span> helmet is dramatically knocked off! Juggling his helmet off the walls for a few extra points, you eventually let it settle in the center of the arena where it bursts into blue, pixelated flames!
‘<span class="mu-s">LONG LIVE THE KING</span>’
“Woaah…” Mutters Pepper as the screen erupts in fireworks, “... so what’s ne-”
And just like that your characters leap back into space and resume their bloody crusade… but this time they both have an extra <span class="mu-s">SPACE CROWN</span> on their heads!
Pepper is wiped out soon after–it always gets trickier when the <span class="mu-s">SPACE DRAGON</span> appears… but she still manages to take her loss in stride and spends the rest of the time leaning on your shoulder with the game’s screen reflected off of her wide eyes!
You could go on for ages, but you decide to throw it once you get onto the high score board. Welp, you announce as you clap the imaginary dust off of your hands, that’s uh… that’s <span class="mu-s">SPACE KING</span>.
“I see…” Purrs your date as she gives the cabinet and its laughter the evil eye, “Well rest for now, Diesel… for one day it shall be <span class="mu-i">ME</span> with the high score!”
Shit, you remark, if she can do that with one hand then she deserves it!
“I just chalk it up to another challenge!” She chirps as you give her hair a playful tousle! “Anything else catch your eye? Besides the obvious, that is.” She adds as she gives you a wink!
Hmmm…
