(Continued from here after Release 88 made the first post unusable)

The only thing that grates on Techno worse than when people notice how obviously he resembles Forte, is when it dawns on them he resembles both Forte and Mega. He isn't really sure how to feel about the person responsible being dead, as now he'll never get to have that nice loud 'what the hell were you thinking' talk he'd sometimes fantasized about.

But for now the Twins skirt around that topic and onto one of pets, as they follow Zero towards X's room.

"I still think we should get a puppy."

"We live in a treehouse, Middy. Canines can't climb."

Quint soon makes his excuses to leave, and a tired X ends up on the couch after seeing him out. The Twins relocate the VR equipment to next to the couch.

And Zero joins Forte in going through the box. He'd heard about the games, in passing, but mostly from older siblings who'd said that, unless you wanted to see yourself get killed in 8-bit graphics, it wasn't worth it. And he'd had enough real things to worry about that looking at video games for information on Weil hadn't even crossed his mind. "See any with Weil on the box?" he asks Forte.

Some of the box art is horrifying, especially with the thought that somewhere there could be a world that looked like it. He's glad by the time he spots his own image on a box that the art is more reasonable. Being late to the game, as it were, seems to be a good thing when it came to games.

"No, but here's one with the kids." He scoops out the box only to give the cover a funny look, look to Zero, and then back at the cover. "The upgrade doesn't make you look any less girly, I'm afraid," he says, cracking up as he flips it over to read the back, and starts laughing even harder. The front had covered up the 'thong' armor with the logo, but the back had a nice picture of it along with a little fairy thing.

"I managed to avoid one armor change, I hope to avoid that one too..," says Zero. He does, however, start looking for games that have him in that armor. And winces slightly as he reads the back of one. "The 'elves' and the 'dress up' theme don't help either."

He leans over to look at what Forte's looking at, and just swears. "No way in hell am I wearing that. Looks like a pair of girl's underwear..."
