First Floor Rec Room, Tuesday Morning

[vanillajello]

This was one of those mornings were Kate just woke up way too early and couldn't go back to sleep with the way thoughts were just whirring around in her head. After trying anyway, she'd given up and headed down to the salle for a half-mandatory pre-class practice session, intended to center her again, and maybe reduce her stress levels about whichever way certain people she wasn't even supposed to pay attention to were probably going to be interacting in class.

Even a good while spent attacking dummies hadn't killed all the time she had left before her class that was still hours away, though, and she found herself having a need to just take it easy now. With some video games. And the rec room was the perfect place for that since she'd never gotten around to hauling her XBox to Fandom even though it was just gathering dust back home. Not like Marshall ever played anything without her.

She parked her ass on a couch, controller in hand, and made herself comfortable. Meta for Little Big Planet was totally good practice for her reflexes too, right?

[ooc: Open like a rec room! ETA: There is a good chance of SP until my evening. Today is weeeird for me.]

"The goal's really just to get through the levels," Kate explained, lips twisting in thought. "That's kinda... like a shorter segment of the game as a whole, I guess." A pause. She was so not a teacher. "But yeah, I should probably just play and explain as I go."

"Please do," Elphaba said. "So you have to guide it through... obstacles? I suppose it would be a very easy game if all you had to do was move the sack person thing to one side."

"That'd kinda take the fun out of it," Kate agreed. "Or, y'know, it'd get way boring really fast. It's figuring out the puzzles, like how to get past some obstacles, that's where the fun is. Like here, see --"

She went to explain about the level she was on while playing through it, from having to pull a lever to get the platforms to come up at the start, to having to jump over some fires while on a moving platform – she had to redo that bit three times, and some bad language was used, oops – all the way to the end of the level, where her sack person looked pretty thrilled to have gotten through all that.

"... So, that's basically it."

"It actually seems rather challenging," Elphaba said. "And it uses more of your brain than most television programs."

She smiled. "And I rather like the little sack person thing."

"He's pretty adorable," Kate agreed with a lopsided smile of her own. "And it's kind of a fun game. Not too hard but not too easy either. Kinda perfect for right now."

"So it's a challenge but not frustrating," Elphaba discerned. "That does sound like a good combination for fun. Though I suppose it would be easy to lose hours to such a game."
