[ omygaw they're zooming and their competitors are getting knocked away by their large temporary sled dog. ]

Was that you, Miss Throné?

[naeddre]

I... think so.

[she's amused.] Wow. It ate half the competition.

[this is terrible for her ego. she's so competitive.]

[dropoffs]

I wonder if you will get the same ball and chain if we acquire another mystery box...

[ They are oh so curious and maybe they also like? The sense of power they have in this videogame? They get a box. ]

[naeddre]

Only one way to find out.

[i'm crying the first sense of power the servant gets and it's from mario kart

another box! this time it's three red shells, and she goes O: for a second before... unleashing one at donkey kong in front of them. he howls and goes bopping off course, and she huffs out a laugh.]

[dropoffs]

[ It's okay to feel ambition when it's simulated. ]

The red shell seems to have a tracking system?

[ Sure it does. They already knew they might enjoy games, but didn't know how much they would. Unintentionally, they knock Donkey Kong to the wall. ]

[naeddre]

[it's okay to feel ambition all of the time???]

Yes. It... follows. [she tosses another one, and this time it hits wario. donkey kong gets knocked off the stage entirely and the little lakitu dude has to go pick him up out of the water.]

... If you fall off the stage it isn't the end. Good to know. What... place are we? This is a race, isn't it?

[dropoffs]

Ah, so you don't die.

[ Assumes permanent death.

IT TAKES THEM A GOOD WHILE TO FIND THE TOURNEY PLACEMENTS ON THE SCREEN. This game is so chaotic, actually. ]

The ball and chain put us in fourth place.

[naeddre]

[it really is a lot of information for a brain that has only ever seen a stageplay as the highest form of entertainment]

Fourth... [she repeats, leaning forward a little.] If you can move us behind the green... monster, I can throw this.

[she means yoshi]

[dropoffs]

[ It is a good thing Amalthea can tell the difference between Luigi being a man and Yoshi... Being a giant green lizard.

They will do so? ]

Poor thing won't know it will have a difficult time.

[ They are genuinely pitying it, but also finding it very funny. ]
