[ So it turns out this Valentine's day, for all the coupling up that the castle is doing, it's decided to play nice for at least a couple of residents and promote some platonic bonding times as well!

The room Arthur and John are stuck in is filled to the brim with things to interest a couple of teenage boys. Which is really fortunate for John! ... Maybe a little less so for Arthur, who stuck in a situation like this seems to have more or less been stuck on babysitting detail for the next few days.

It doesn't help that John is sitting here, pointing at the glowing tv screen rambling a little bit about the class type of the characters on the screen. He's trying to explain to the best of his abilities, but he keeps forgetting that to a guy from mediaeval times, you can't take any technological knowhow for granted. ]

[While Arthur's pleased to effectively receive a free pass for a holiday he cares nothing about, he's a little less thrilled to be stuck with some random child he's never even met.

He supposes there's something to be said for the kid being self sufficient, and capable of entertaining himself, but it's been awhile he's had someone been so determinedly friendly, or so eager to explain a game. So, he's trying to pay attention, really. But some of this is just ridiculous]

And this affects the out come of the game experience?

[ John turns back to the game and frowns slightly. [

Not really the outcome, but it affects how you play it. So I guess it kind of does?

...I see. You might have chosen a direct answer, John.

[What is this talking around things business, but he's just going to make this less painful for the both of them, and just pick the first dude that has a sword and customize his shirt red, aw yeah priorities

Now what do I do?

Sorry.

[ Look, he's even smiling all apologetic like. But it looks like Arthur is getting this pretty easily, so that's good. ]

Okay so first of all you see this right here? You press these buttons to make him move around.

[ He reaches over to point the right ones out to Arthur. ]

It didn't require an apology.

[But he's just amused. Oh wow look at him use the controls so good, so good the little man runs right into a wall and keeps trying to go through it.

....That's what he was supposed to do with him, right?]

[ His shoulders shake a little, but he manages to keep the laughter in. I mean, IT'S NOT REALLY FAIR TO EXPECT KING ARTHUR OF ALL PEOPLE TO KNOW HOW TO PLAY VIDEO GAMES!! but it's still really funny ]

Okay, move back in the opposite direction first then move around it!

[You are the worst person ever!!!!

But he's going to do as instructed with a light frown] This is utterly impossible.

[He's doing it now, but this guy is still weaving around like he's drunk]

[ It's still progress! ]

It's not that hard, you just have to keep it steady if you want him to walk in a straight line.

Keep what steady, precisely? My hands do not shake.

[Which is true! But he...still doesn't know what to do with the silly joy stick type thing]

The analogue stick! See if you tilt it around like that your character will end up wobbling all over the place. You have to make sure you don't wiggle it too much.
