[PRP] Press Start to Begin [Phobos + Guouli]

Check out the blood splatter effects on this one!

There comes a time in every kid's life in which all of their games are boring. Such a time brought Phobos out to this particular game store, looking for something new. Exciting. Maybe a bit bloody. No, definitely a lot bloody. The scarier the better, as far as he was concerned. All the more entertaining for whenever he had guests over, after all. He'd picked two out already and stuffed them under one arm, but they were probably quick play throughs- continuations in series he was already familiar with. He wanted something new.

He was busy reading through the description on the back on one of the more interesting looking games, oblivious to the fact that he was pretty much blocking the aisle's through traffic. Not that there were a lot of other people in the horror section anyway...

Game stores were nothing new to Guouli. He became a familiar face pretty quickly at some certain establishments, and on thin ice at others. Definitely gotten in a row or two at release twilights, but, hey, that's passion for ya.

Most lowblood employees just learned to keep their heads down, nod along with whatever he went on about at the register, and pray he leave as quickly and smoothly as possible.

And Guouli, not a sucker, wasn't about to buy when he could rent. Especially since nothing really exciting was coming out until the next perigee. Leading up to that time, he could find whatever games he missed, indie or the like, or some laughably bad polygon farces. The true beauty of rentals!

The blueblood bee-lined to the horror section, as per usual. He barely paid any attention to the child in the way until Guo shoved past Phobos to get through.

More importantly, he caught sight of the games the other troll was looking at. He eyed the kid with a sneer. "Guess you're lost. The wiggler section is over there, it's got more of the kinda crap you've got."

He was vaguely aware of another person coming into the aisle, but didn't pay them much mind until he was suddenly shoved out of the way. What the ********. A spike of annoyance stuck in his gut, though he was too well accustomed to playing the good boy in public to immediately lash out. Rather, he straightened himself and turned to stare at the rude teen that had shoved him aside with a blank expression - which... lasted all of two seconds. God, what a mess that kid was. Socks, with sandals? Please. Phobos couldn't help the little grin that came to his face, though he did his best to not outwardly show his inner mockings.

"Thanks for the directions- I had no idea store employees were permitted to wear stuff that isn't uniform and shove their customers." His grin widened a bit, "I'm not lost. Seems like you might be. Sports games are two aisles over to the left. Maybe learn how to body check someone more effectively by playing those?" His tone was obviously teasing - which was probably a risky move considering the age difference between them, but honestly, what dumbass would risk attacking another troll in broad moonlight in a store over a silly jab? With that, he put the game he had been looking at back on the shelf, and reached for something else. Escape from some mental facility- classic, using mental abnormalities to illicit fear in the player. You never knew what the insane bad guy was going to do, right? What a joke.

If there was any possible way in hell Guouli could doubt this kid was a blueblood, he certainly didn't after the little spitfire's response. "We only shove the ones with s**t taste," he shot back, though now the look on his face was a tiny bit more genuinely entertained. A dumb kid with dumb tastes could try to mock him as much as they wanted, but the games Phobos kept picking were enough to keep him from being threatened.

Guo snorted at the sports games. "Only poor lowblood dipshits who can't afford an actual gym membership play that crap. Maybe keep that in mind before shooting your mouth off, wiggler. Say that kinda s**t to an uppercrust juggalo and next thing you'll find yourself splattered all over the floor."

He took a better look at the game Phobos was looking at now. He let out a tch. "There's a mod out there where the doctors are the monsters. It's pretty dope with a lot more blood but, like, you'll probably never find them in stores because I guess doing that kinda s**t implies authorities are the bad guys. And you know that won't fly."

Phobos regarded the older boy with a flat stare. He was really gonna suggest that he had bad taste looking like that? "Sure, but you aren't a juggalo are you? You're same as me." He shifted the game he was holding under one arm, then picked up another. This one more adventure based, it seemed. Probably chock full of jump scares- a cheap tactic but it was entertaining enough.

He ignored the tch, and was prepared to keep ignoring but the next sentence caught his attention. "Oh, really?" That did sound interesting... even if it'd be hard to get his hands on that mod, probably. "If it's not in stores how d'you know about it?" He quirked a brow at the other troll- maybe he'd find out how to get it this way.
