They're like electronic games that you can play. You can play them on a TV, or on a computer, or on a handheld console! There's all kinds, too, for all different genres like action or adventure or RPGs...they're fun to play by yourself but you can do multiplayer, too.
That is about as generic as describing books with "you read words and can read anything you like." You might have to show me to illustrate what it is they do.
I'll see what I can do...I don't really have anything with me that would help. But I guess they're actually sort of like digital picture books, now that you mention it. There's a prewritten story and you can go through it however you want.
Definitely. [they're willing to show him, at least, but for now it's still too early. dance gets their attention though.]
I like ballet but I'm not very good at it. I like jazz, contemporary and modern a lot, but I like making up my own moves, too. It's fun to see what you can do with a good beat.
I haven't been to many, but I like dancing for people so I probably would. [there's another laugh though.] But don't worry about that. It's just a little fun, right?
I'm not too worried, you're here and just fine aren't you? Besides, this is to get to know you better. Knowing that you like dancing for people is important.
Maybe I'll even perform for you guys sometime. [lust truly does like being watched which says something. and they're about to continue, but suddenly they gasp.]
Oh! The rec room! There's video games there! [did you just remember that, lust?] I guess I can show you after all.
There's a lot of "strange boxes" in that room. You gotta be specific. Come on. [and they're going to immediately start walking that way! come on, luca.]
You're doing better than some people already. [so that's a relief! once they're in the rec room though (which has thankfully not been trashed by this point), they approach the tv and tap it with a finger.]
Ah yes. A license to practice sfeer theory AND a television. I suppose I can just plug it in and watch nothing, since movies haven't been invented yet.
Ugh, don't be like that. You could probably take a few movies with you when you leave if you really wanted.
[but okay. lust is busy setting up a video game console and handing luca a controller.] We're gonna play a party game with a couple of CPUs. Your goal is to move around the board and collect coins so you can buy stars and have the most stars at the end! But you have to play mini-games in order to get coins.
[they are absolutely playing mario party, and the loading screen comes up.] Use these buttons to move around on the screen and pick your character. [they also give a demonstration.]
We'll see. The knowledge of how to make television might be more useful.
[He takes the controller! And he's actually going to look it over and see the different buttons on it. 'start' is an obvious button, as are the directional buttons, but the other ones are a mystery right now.]
So it's like a board game, but on this television. Alright.
[He is absolutely picking Luigi, because that is an Italian name and makes him chuckle.]

[It's not a bad name, but it's a bad fit for Lust. Even now he can guess that.]
So, let's start with the basics: what do you like to do?
no subject
I like to do a lot of things, but definitely dance. And play video games! But lately I've been having fun getting to know you guys instead.
no subject
[Dance and 'having fun with you guys' he understands, butnot video games.]

[He is curious about games, at least.]
But you said you like dancing too? What sort of dancing? Ballet?
no subject
I like ballet but I'm not very good at it. I like jazz, contemporary and modern a lot, but I like making up my own moves, too. It's fun to see what you can do with a good beat.
no subject
[He doesn't know what Jazz is, but dancing at bars is common enough in his world, so.]
Hopefully you stay out of trouble.

[Why is he enabling this? This could go in exactly the wrong direction. But oh well.]
Oh? Is that what those strange boxes were?

Well I don't exactly know the names for any of them yet.

Wait, are you from a place that doesn't have electricity, too?
