[[Gainer is finally getting around after loafing about in the infirmary and being a broody little punk during the week's worth of crappy music.

He's generally out and about, carrying his game setup with him. Easily pestered.]]

[[Eventually, sometime over the communicator thingies.]] Alright... I don't know where you ran off to Adette, but... I'm not mad anymore. I guess it was that music or whatever.

If you want to try playing the game again, that's fine.

Maybe we can get Cynthia to play too. But she's not going to go easy on you. She managed to beat me after all. But, she's the only other person with the game that I know of.

...Just what IS that thing you keep lugging around? Reminds me of the portable sim units back at OMER...

[turningyaponese.livejournal.com]

It's a gaming console. Ironically, it's just like piloting an Overman too...

[aprimeanswer.livejournal.com]

Huh. You don't suppose the army's releasing games to try and find new talent, or something silly like that?

[turningyaponese.livejournal.com]

I don't think so. Overmen aren't simply mass-produced like other mobile suits are. Most of them are pretty ancient. [[This isn't speaking for Cynthia's training at all though...]]

[aprimeanswer.livejournal.com]

Huh. Ancient mobile weapons, huh...

So what makes an Overman so special?

[turningyaponese.livejournal.com]

No clue. King Gainer seems to have the ability to exceed normal speed. It even feels like I think faster. Cynthia's can transform as much as it likes. There was one that could stop time too.

There's probably something in the way they're constructed too. [[Nothing known about Over meaning going over the limit of any given thing.]]

[aprimeanswer.livejournal.com]

I'll give you that, I suppose. Time stopping and completely fluid transformation's pretty fantastical.

...I do wonder if your speed could keep up with the speed of my NEXT, though.

[turningyaponese.livejournal.com]

Are you challenging me to a race?

Well, it'll give me more practice with my OverSkill.

[aprimeanswer.livejournal.com]

A race...you know, it might be fun.

There's nothing wrong with testing the technical capabilities of two machines, either...

All right, game boy. You're on.

[turningyaponese.livejournal.com]

It's Game Champ Game Boy is an ancient console... I don't expect you to know that though.


So... when? It's not like we really get a lot of free time to run around with our machines.

[aprimeanswer.livejournal.com]

I'll need to run this by my sponsors, of course...

but this should be something they'll support. When I beat ya, it'll just help boost sales on their NEXT parts.

Shouldn't take more than a week to set up properly.

[turningyaponese.livejournal.com]

Beat me? Sure... What'll they say when a machine half the size of yours has you inhaling his dust?

[aprimeanswer.livejournal.com]

Honestly? I'm kinda hoping you win. Maybe they'll approve those new experimental boosters I've been wanting, then.

[turningyaponese.livejournal.com]

You're not going to deliberately throw the race, are you?

[aprimeanswer.livejournal.com]

[PRIME thrusts his chest out.]

Do I look like the kind of guy who'd ever lose anything, on purpose or otherwise?

[turningyaponese.livejournal.com]

Nobody ever looks like that guy... But you'd be surprised what happens.

Just don't make excuses when I leave you behind.

[aprimeanswer.livejournal.com]

Who the hell do you think I am? A perfect existence has no need for excuses. There's simply truths of the world that cannot be changed.

[He gives you a fanged grin.]

And I intend to see the truth of this matter for myself.
