[......

He's so sorry, Sandry, but she'll probably hear a small snicker from Scott when she not only loses, but starts getting frustrated with the game. Look, it's kind of cute, somehow the fact she's saying 'cat dirt' instead of actively cursing adding to the charm. Still doesn't stop his laugh.]

I-it just takes a couple of tries, you'll get it. Seriously.

[He believes in her so much!! Or maybe he just wants to watch Sandry struggle for just a little more. Look it will make the victory even sweeter.]

[ Scott gets a sharp look at his laugh, but she turns her nose up daintily instead of justifying it with a reply. Wordlessly she starts up a new round. And then another. And then another! Her brow is furrowed, her shoulders are hunched, she is trying so hard. But slowly she is making progress!

After a few more tries she finally gets it! Sandry jumps up and down, clapping her hands in glee. ]

I did it! I did it!

[ Unbeknownst to her the second stage is beginning! But she is looking at Scott with bright and fresh excitement and doesn't even notice. ]

[She is tenacious, isn't she? But she is getting better...

At first he claps because hey, getting your first victory in a game is pretty exhilarating. She's clearly having that feeling anyway and Scott acknowledges it by adding a 'you did' as he smiles. He almost feels bad about bursting her bubble, but he has to warn her, right?

So, he fake coughs, and nods his head back at the game.]

Sandry, it isn't over-- the second level is starting.

[Maybe he should mention at some point that there really is no 'ending' to Pacman, you just keep playing until you die. Eh, he'll do it later.]

[ Sandry whirls around to shoot an accusatory stare at the game case. Of course, she loses again, but gives it a valiant effort. At the end she gives a sigh. ]

There's more of it?
laserguy: (what do you think)

[personal profile] laserguy 2024-05-19 10:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Dozens of more levels.

[A valiant effort and maybe that's the most he can ask of her right now. At least she can say that she beat one level of Pacman. Who else from her time period can? No one! So, there.

Nonetheless, Scott still smiles, the expression always verging on a smirk.]

Still gonna give it a go? Although, we could try something else-- a two player game? You can face me.

[ Sandry casts a baleful look at the machine in front of her. Dozens more levels? One was quite enough for her! ]

Let's try something else! There must be something I'm better at than Pacman. Though I can't imagine I could measure up against you.
