[ This look that he's giving you defies description, Rei. ]
Haa, seriously? Have you never played one of these? You don't just get to jump right in and talk to the one you want right away! You have to work for it, dummy!
I don't play video games often unless Nagisa-kun suggests them. [ aka they probably just play Mario Kart or something. That's what they're always screaming about. ]
I am not a "dummy" in both literal sense and in intelligence sense. Anyway, does that mean I can just tell this girl who keeps talking to me to go away? [ RUDE?? Watch him say that about Mikoto's favorite too, honestly. ]
But if they're like real people and I don't want to talk to them, then I wouldn't?
[ They said "hello" first, Rei. Could he be any worse at this game--Okay, maybe not as bad as Nozaki was at first. ]
They're already talking to me, so I suppose it can't be helped to be polite, yes? Is this how dating works in real life? [ He's the one with the boyfriend here???? ]
Yeah, but since they're classmates you're supposed to be cordial or something, you know?
[ a sigh ]
Besides, sometimes the way you treat one girl keeps you from getting the one you want; especially if their friends. That's totally how the real world works!
[ mikoto as if you've ever actually been on a date ]
Oh, they're all my classmates? Why didn't you say so before--
[ Is this really how dating was supposed to work? Straight couples were weird...girls were weird. ]
So even in real life, you have to be nice to the girl's friends or you won't get to date who you want? I think that makes sense! [ What happened here... ]
Wha--they actually do that?! I thought that was a silly made-up movie thing?!
[ He's learning so much about the female species today...they are all a mystery. He thinks Mikoto is an expert since he knows a lot about these games. (And how wrong he was.) ]
[ What kind of games even have some kind of girls talking in the bathroom anyway? Wouldn't that be a pointless game? ]
I see, this is an interesting development since I didn't know females did this. They're really strange sometimes. [ Why did Mikoto like girls again? A mystery. ]
Of course you do, I had to tell you about this game.
[ A sigh, Mikoto leaning down and rubbing at his forehead. ]
Just worry about the one with the glasses!! You'll get options and chances to get the route you want, you can decline without being a jerk about it if the other girls ask you out.
[ Rei doesn't understand since he was totally talking about other girls and not the glasses one that he liked! ]
You have said that, but I meant if I let the other girls down harshly? I mean, maybe I'll be kind to whoever the glasses girl's friends are? [ Terrible. Ban him from these games. ]
I know that! I was just asking this for a hypothetical scenario!!!
[ Yet he wasn't really talking to many of the girls in the game that would approach him first? Why were they talking to him? He didn't talk to them first??? ]
Why does she keep talking to me? Can I tell her to leave?
[ That was it, that was absolutely it. There was a moment, Mikoto finally whipping the game case back off his bookshelf to pull out the manual; pretty much launching it in Rei's direction. ]
Just read the stupid manual and do what you want! I don't even care anymore!!
[ Yes, he's leaving his room and yes, he's slamming the door. You're on your own now, Rei, he's going to drink all the fucking milk. ]

[ He's grabbing for the controller now. ]
Just give it here, you can't be rude to them; it could mess up the whole thing! You really are a dummy!!
no subject
It would mess the whole thing up? But I don't want the route with this girl?
no subject
[ He relented in taking that controller from Rei, stepping back and crossing his arms over his chest. ]
Look, think of it this way: they're real people, talk to them and react like they're right in front of you.

[ well then ]
...I mean, you know they go to the restroom to gossip about guys for a reason, right?
[ as if he really knows ]
no subject
[ He's learning so much about the female species today...they are all a mystery. He thinks Mikoto is an expert since he knows a lot about these games. (And how wrong he was.) ]
Do they also do this in this game?
no subject
[ a pause as he thinks on it ]
Well, maybe, but it's not like they show it. That's a totally different type of game...
But they definitely do it in real life, especially at mixers!
[ like he truly knows ]

[ rei, you're too young to know ]
Yeah, they can be, but you have to go with it.
no subject
[ Maybe his brother owned one and that's how he knew about them... ]
I'll try my best, and I suppose I won't be rude to the girls--but what if they all think I like them? I only want the blonde with glasses???
no subject

What happens if I do choose the option to be rude to them--not that I will! I'm just curious for research purposes. [ ?????? ]
no subject
I already told you, you run the risk of getting a bad end if you treat them like crap! Girls are delicate!!
no subject

Ahhhhh! Seriously?! You have to talk to them to find out who's friends with who!
[ You are this close to being banned, Rei, thisclose ]

[ SLAMMING HIS OWN ROOM DOOR? He was going to have to come back eventually to sleep--or maybe not.
And don't you dare touch his milk, Mom. ]
