#{ DOGCOIN TO THE MOON HELP THAT'S SO FUNNY }

❝ sounds like your friend and i are a lot alike then, heehee. ❞ laughter rings as she speaks, though in her defense she had no idea that the game would be as popular as it was !! back in the children's home they only ever had older systems, and even then the boys were always hogging them, so she hadn't had the chance to really try them for herself and then once she'd been picked up by strawberry productions... well, she simply didn't have the time to play them even if she wanted to.

❝ are you reaaally sure its okay for me to take it though, your friend won't be too mad ?? ❞ gives a wink with her words as she takes the game from his hands and into her own, though she's confident that her sunglasses are obscuring it.

❝ not that i'm complaining that is, i'll happily take it !! ❞ holds the boxed game up to her face with glee, and then the realization sets in that she doesn't even own the system to play the game. its moments like these where she wishes that the company would have just given her a console and a copy of the game - that would have made things so much easier.

❝ could i trouble you for one more thing, then i promise i'll leave you be to go play your game ?? my system broke right before the game came out and i've gotta get a new one, i haven't had any luck finding one... do you know if they have one here ?? ❞ a simple lie and yet it rolls off the tongue with ease.

if his coworker hadn't BEGGED him to pick up the game while he worked, he would have stayed in his apartment all weekend streaming to be one of the first to complete the release. it wouldn't be a speed run, not with his luck. knowing him, he would end up clearing the game just a few seconds after someone else. so instead he opted to explore the side quests and build up the lore of the floors. though his viewers will probably think he was just a SUBTLE fanboy trying to hear a certain idols voice before moving on to the following bosses. but he already prepared his response to those comments--

                                          he was simply a completionist.

thankfully his go-to shop still carried one more copy after the rush in sales. was this a sign that his bad luck streak was FINALLY ending? maybe it was time to seriously invest in his gacha games to pull the units he needed. at least-- those were the thoughts initially running through his head until a hand brushed against his to grab the last copy of the game.

before he could even think of letting the game go, the hand immediately pulled back as if the touch burnt their hands. "ah-- it's fine. i have a copy already.." he mumbled out an explanation, bringing the game down from the shelf to hold it out toward them. "my friend can use this as a lesson to pre-order items.." he HOPED she would take the game from his hands. how awkward would it be if his one attempt at being generous was rejected? he would NEVER show his face at the shop again. "you should.. probably buy it soon before another person sees the copy and grabs it from my hands."
