Yo, it's Dito. Talk to me.

[Dito eyes the picture with a growing fascination, a delighted smile lifting the corners of his mouth.]

She's certainly a beauty. Not sure where she's from though, no.

The one who introduced me to movies in the first place disappeared before he was able to show me a lot of them.

[comecatchthesehands]

She is. The last moron who tried to walk in unannounced found out just how friendly she can be. I thought of selling them as alarms, but I've enjoyed the company this month.

I remember. I've been finding a few washing ashore, that's yet another of the happy accidents. It looks like I can't make anything normal, but I bet once this is all said and done and the fleshy bits disappear, I can make something.

[syncopathic]

What sort of something? Weapons? Buildings? Living creatures?

[comecatchthesehands]

Nah. I don't need weapons. Buildings? No. Living creatures? Did that.

I want a video game console. You can find TVs around here pretty easy, but finding other tech? Haven't found a place. That's what I want. Found a couple games already.

[syncopathic]

[Careful, Shigaraki. You're treading on dangerous territory here.]

I understood maybe a third of what you said.

[comecatchthesehands]

[In his defense? It wasn't his choice. They were all abominations. Anything he tried to make this time.]

You know what a game is? What a TV is?

[syncopathic]

I know what a TV is. And I know what a game is. But all those other words are just gobbledygook.

[comecatchthesehands]

[Jesus. It's like talking to Dabi, except Dito has more excuse than Dabi does.]

Then you know enough. Play the game using the TV. A movie you have input in?

[syncopathic]

[What, you don't like having an excuse to flex your nerd knowledge?]

So like an interactive play?

[comecatchthesehands]

[Not when someone doesn't recognize how cliché nuanced it is. Okay he enjoys it a bit.]

Sure. A play. Close enough to a movie, you're smarter than you look. It's exactly like that. Depending if the game allows you're a pussy savescum you can go back and play other ways, too. There aren't many types here that I like to play, but I'll take most anything right now.

[syncopathic]

God, this is fascinating. It's like you're slowly but surely creating your own language.

[comecatchthesehands]

Sometimes I feel like it's plain spoken and just no one wants to take the time to understand it.

Whatever. If I find shit, you can watch until you don't suck.

[syncopathic]

Thanks for making incorrect assumptions about me. Just because I don't understand doesn't mean I don't want to take the time.

But sure, I accept your backhanded invitation. Try not to embarrass yourself. Or do. It'll be entertaining either way.
