Lunch ended and with it, Uryuu found, went his headache. His numerous unsatisfied questions threatened to stir it once more, but whatever remained from his groggy stirring the night before, and from his face being half bashed in with a baseball bat, had finally gone. Eating a solid meal probably helped.
The Head Doctor's cheek remained consistent, he noted while listening to the shift change announcement. Loath to do as suggested by the man, yet disinclined to not wash his hands after eating, Uryuu stopped at the bathroom. Then at the bulletin board, observing no further notice from Kratos-san. After looking around for Inoue-san, he moved next into the Game Room, curious as to who had proceeded there, and if anything in it had changed.
As if by magnetism, his eyes fell to the televisions. He forced himself to properly scan the room, seeing that some of those already present had busied themselves with what looked like Game Boys. Bulky, older models. Sora-san sat with one and Uryuu didn't bother nodding, thinking him not bound to notice. Instead... he found himself taking one step, then another, toward the chairs in front of the televisions.
Uryuu knew he should continue to jot notes in his journal. Ought to solidify his plans for tonight and make certain that Inoue-san understood. Only, she seemed to understand. It felt wrong to indulge in such frivolity when... Only, there he was, kneeling in front of the machines. He'd blame it on playing as Gerard. Sure.
Though he'd neither owned nor ever had the chance to play either one, Uryuu recognized the Nintendo and its successor, the Super Nintendo. "How retro," he murmured, dangerously close to cheerful as he sifted through the small stack of games. After a minute, he selected for the Super Nintendo and switched it on, taking a controller with him to one of the chairs positioned in front.
Retro, yet so new to him. The screen loaded in pastels and he obediently pressed 'B' until presented with the character selection screen. Were there any pluses or minuses? Did any car or character have particular attributes? Uryuu pursed his lips, moving the selector among them. It made sense to choose Mario, right? Super Mario Kart.
