Sasuke's eyes slowly open

"MORNING SLEEPYHEAD" Alayna shouts at him

"Good morning" Sasuke rubs his eyes

"That usually gets a lot of people" Alayna's eyebrows raise

"You're up?" Yami groans

"Yeah, I'm surprised you didn't jump out of bed when she screamed" Sasuke rolls out of bed

"Who screamed?" Yami asks

"Her" Sasuke gets up

"...Are you going crazy?" Yami asks

"No, there's a woman right there, she looks Hispanic" Sasuke points at Alayna

"She can't see me" Alayna shakes her head

"Are you still asleep?" Yami asks

"I'm having a conversation with you, aren't I?" Sasuke laughs

"Am I still asleep?" Yami asks 

"Now that I think about it, who are you?" Sasuke looks at Alayna

"Well, I'm Alayna, I used to be in Char's head, now I'm in yours...you're the only person I know whose emotions are dull" Alayna nods

"I'm dull?" Sasuke asks

"Yeah, you can handle me, so would a depressed person or a person with PTSD, you're the second one" Alayna nods again

Sasuke stares at Alayna

"...I'll let you process this" Alayna disappears

"Are you drunk?" Yami asks

"I don't know" Sasuke shakes his head

Sasuke gets a call

"CRAP, I ALMOST FORGOT" Sasuke runs out

"WHAT" Yami follows him

"I promised this girl Kristen that I'd go to an 'E three'" Sasuke nods

"S***, I ALMOST FORGOT TOO, IS IT HAPPENING NOW?" Yami asks

"No, she just wanted to give me the basics" Sasuke nods

"Alright, good, thanks for reminding me" Yami sighs

"You're welcome, I'll be on my way" Sasuke walks out

"Sorry about that, I'm coming to your house" Sasuke gets back on his phone

"Yeah, I guess I can learn how to play them" Sasuke nods

"Bye, I'll see you in a bit" Sasuke hangs up

Sasuke starts walking, then starts running

"So, do you wanna talk?" Alayna asks

"Do you know how to play video games?" Sasuke asks

"Yeah, actually" Alayna nods

"Good, how?" Sasuke asks

"Depends on the game and console" Alayna nods

"Console?" Sasuke asks

"Yeah, you've got the Playstation, Nintendo, and Xbox, the buttons don't usually change, for the Playstation, it feels comfortable to use, the Xbox feels weird, yet it feels good too, and Nintendos are all interesting" Alayna tries to explain

"That's confusing" Sasuke gets to Kristen's house

"It's easier than it sounds" Alayna nods

Sasuke knocks on the door

"JUST A SEC" Kristen yells

Sasuke waits patiently at the door

"Hello?" Kristen opens the door slightly

"It's me" Sasuke says

"Oh, you're quick" Kristen opens the door all the way, she still has a headset covering her platinum hair

"Thank you-" Sasuke looks at her legs

"What, I don't wear pants while I play" Kristen shrugs

"Can I?" Sasuke asks

"Yeah, you can play in a tuxedo if you want" Kristen turns around, walking to the couch

"Do you have any knowledge on video games?" Kristen asks

"I know that there's a Playstation, Xbox, and Nintendo" Sasuke nods

"That's a start" Kristen tosses Sasuke a controller

"I haven't played this game just for you" Kristen gets up and puts a disc in the Ps5

"What do I do?" Sasuke asks

"Alright, watch" Kristen gets her controller and turns it on, showing Sasuke how to do it

"Witchcraft" Sasuke stares at his controller

"Technology" Kristen slants her eyes

"Technology" Sasuke repeats, staring at the controller

Kristen waits for the disc to load

Sasuke turns his controller on

"This is gonna be weird because the tv's gonna be split in two, I'm on the left, you're on the right, okay?" Kristen asks

"Here's an idea, what if they created games and made them accessible through different Tv's?" Sasuke asks

"That's a thing, I just don't have the money to buy another tv" Kristen sighs

"I'll help out on this one" Alayna snaps her fingers

There's a knock on the door

Kristen slowly gets up and opens the door slightly

"Hello?" She asks

"Delivery" A man says

Kristen opens the door

"I didn't buy this" Kristen pulls a brand new Tv in

"That's weird how you mentioned it and then a new Tv came" Sasuke stares at Kristen

"Yeah, it's weird" Kristen shuts the door

"And I'll help with this too" Alayna finger-guns the box

The tv flies out of the package and hooks itself up

Kristen stares at the Tv

"No wonder it was free, it was possessed" She stares

"Or it was god?" Sasuke jokes

"Thank you" Kristen looks up at the sky

"One problem-" Sasuke looks at the single Ps5

"It's not a problem, this is what we call cross-play" Kristen hooks the Xbox to the second tv

"Like crossdressing?" Sasuke asks

"I guess it's something like that, in a way, however you want to think about it" Kristen takes Sasuke's ps5 controller and gives him an Xbox controller, slightly laughing

"Don't you need a disk?" Sasuke asks

"Yeah" Kristen puts the same disc in, but for Xbox, in the, well, Xbox

"Alright, now hold down that big circle button on the top" Kristen nods

Sasuke does what he's told

"You see that box that says 'Borderlands 3'?" Kristen asks

"Yes" Sasuke nods

"Press the A button for it" Kristen nods

Sasuke presses the A button

"What am I witnessing?" Sasuke asks

"Put these on" Kristen gives him a set of headphones

"Like you did?" Sasuke asks

"Yeah" Kristen nods, putting her headphones over her ears

Sasuke puts his headphones on

"Can you hear me?" Kristen asks

Sasuke looks around

"You see that thing on your left...headphone part?" Kristen asks

Sasuke puts his hand on the right side of his new headphones

"That, pull it down" Kristen nods

Sasuke pulls the microphone down

"Try saying something" Kristen commands

"Something" Sasuke says

"See, technology" Kristen looks at Sasuke

"I like technology" Sasuke nods

"So, who do you wanna pick?" Kristen asks

"Hey, he looks like one of my friends" Sasuke points to FL4K

"He must be a cosplayer" Kristen smiles
