At all?

[When you're so far in the future it's hard to imagine arcades]

I did not even know what a phone was until we got here...

How are you adjusting to it? Id imagine there's a lot to take in all at once.

... poorly.

[ a pause. ]

Well, better than that. It's more that it is getting embarrassing to have to ask so many questions.

There's nothing wrong with asking questions. I'm happy to answer anything I can.

[ no it's embarrassing. ]

Have you played things like this before?

Not a lot, but I have a friend who likes them.

Then, let us try them together.

[ they point at a shooting game ]

[She will approach it, and hold up one of the toy guns.]

It looks like we just need to shoot the enemies on the screen.

Simple enough!

[ they will also grab one, looking over the gun in their hands before nodding.

game start ]

[It's not the weapon she's most accustomed to, but she does a pretty good job of aiming and actually hitting what she's supposed to. (Thank you 15)]

[ rolls a 17

saber is somehow really good at this despite never having held anything resembling a gun before ]

[ rolls a 9

she's just not the gamer her comrade is. ]

This is really fun!

[ pew pew pew ]

People can just play these things normally?

Yes, but not on every planet. Even so, there are plenty of arcades like this around the galaxy.

[ a pause ]

... you travel... the galaxy?

Yes...?

[This is such a normal thing to her.]

Where I am from, it's difficult to even cross the sea.

Did you want to travel?
