[defendure]

I'm pretty sure, yeah! I haven't tried that one actually. I really like the, um, there's this one where you have an island you can design and then live on?

[ He added a bunch of training areas...

Their battle is almost timed out. ]

[blastedass]

You haven't? Figured that'd've been the first one you did.

[He glances at the game and then immediately flicks the controls to smack an energy burst into Izuku's face. He'll win by having more health, heh.]

Design. As in put the trees and rocks wherever you want, or sticking resort buildings and fucking volleyball nets all over the beach?

[defendure]

I don't want to pretend to be a hero, I want to actually be a hero. And yeah.

[ Izuku slams his ult back at Katsuki. ]

[blastedass]

You are a hero. But you know as well as I do there's not as much "hero work" in this place. VR might let you stop a bank robbery.

[ULTIMATE!! LOCK!! Time to button mash to see who can push the other's ultimate back.]

[defendure]

Yeah, and simulations can be interesting, but I'd rather do real patrols and combat here.

[ He's more focused on button mashing. ]

[blastedass]

Looking to get in trouble later tonight, Deku?

[He's teasing, of course, but definitely focusing on button mashing.]

[defendure]

Mm, dunno. What kind of trouble were you thinking of?

[ Winning might not be super important overall but.

He wants to. ]

[blastedass]

Bet we could find some fucking idiot doing something stupid tonight.

[Going out on hero patrols. Find some crime. Put a stop to it.

Their ultimates break through, leaving them both on nothing more than a sliver of health each. A single tap will win this.]

[defendure]

We can see how the night goes?

[ He's playing fair. Just button mashing, no attempts at distractions. ]

[blastedass]

Doesn't have to be tonight. I'd rather spend the time with you.

[It's an option for whenever. They do patrols off and on. Katsuki ends up cussing when one of Izuku's attacks slips past and a simple blip right on the foot is enough to take his character down. It's over-the-top dramatic ending for such a suck ending.

Leaves him line facing the game.]

It's like dying on a pebble... Nice shot though.

[defendure]

[ That might be the first time Katsuki has ever complimented Izuku on a video game win. The cussing and line facing was way more expected than the follow up, but he lights up, laughing. ]

Thanks! Um, we can do a game you pick next if you want?

[blastedass]

[He can bet his laughing ass there will be another round on this later to reclaim that win. Izuku better start practicing or Katsuki's gonna maul him without mercy next time. He rolls his eyes and "pushes" the side of his head with a scoff.]

We'll come back to this. Over here.

[And heads for one of the racing cabinets. A motorcycle simulation.]

[defendure]

Is this one of your regular games?

[ Izuku has a few machines he hits, but this isn't normally one of them. ]

[blastedass]

Yeah. It's pretty close to the real thing.

[Even straddling the bike-shaped mount and gripping the handlebar gears. The game lights up with the tokens and sides fold down around them to give additional screens and effects.]

[defendure]

Are you top score still?

[ Is he going to wow Izuku or crush him or ]

[blastedass]

No. Some fucking asshole exploited a glitch and maxed out the top score. They won't reset it cause it'll wipe out the rest of the scores.

[The one's gotten through honest effort. But he does rev through the high score section to show he's sitting squarely in 3rd (2nd) place, just under someone else.]

FUCK! That son of a bitch beat me!

[defendure]

So 2nd place is the real 1st place?

[ What name does Katsuki use for his scores, anyway. ]

[blastedass]

Yeah.

[Process of subtraction.

"DYNAMT"!]

[defendure]

[ Izuku uses DEKUAM. ]

You've been trying to beat the max one though?

[blastedass]

[I am Deku. Deku All Might. Both good ways to unpack that. "Deku's Arm" or "Deku Morning" but you know...]

No. Look.

[with the top score being 361,550 and the max score being 9,999,999...]

[defendure]

[ Deku All Might. He likes the reference. But Katsuki has a point... ]

I'm surprised no one else used the glitch. [ Not about Katsuki though. ]

[blastedass]

Everyone started protesting when it happened, so they shut the machine down and called the techs. Guess this was the compromise...

[No name was allowed to be recorded on the record so it's up for anyone to claim they did it. Not that many would, since it's not something positive in the arcade.]

[defendure]

I feel like erasing the scores might have been better - it would suck if people couldn't top their own best games, but that could already be true.

[ Now no one can be #1. ]

[blastedass]

Some people don't wanna redo all their hard work just cause of one asshole. But they're all here to try and get the top spot, so they'd be "redoing" it anyways.

[So long as you ignore the #1 spot and make #2 the new #1, it's feasible.]

[defendure]

Yeah, that's my point. I mean...it feels like letting the guy win in some ways. But, as long as everyone is still having fun it's okay!

[ He's less good at driving games than fighting ones, so Izuku doesn't expect to place immediately. ]
