[She reaches over to try one of the fruits--] Mmm yes, the texture is right, but the taste isn't fresh.
Ah? ViViD games? I do. I usually play adventure ones though, an example is one where you seek treasure. [Uncharted 3...] It does help with training as well.
Does it? [although you had his attention at 'treasure,' 'training' is even better] Better than the virtual thing at the gym? Because I gave up on that, but I do use a special program Vegeta's wife made.
[Clearly Zoro needs to swinging across places like Nathan Drake. AaaAAAaaaAAAah.]
Hmm, I haven't tried that, but I think it does give you a bit of variety. Since you're training while following a story or fulfilling quests. Like the one I mentioned, you're seeking treasures and you have to make sure the non-player characters do not get there first. Another has you leaping through whole cities just to assassinate corrupted politicians. [Wow.] There is also one where you have to claim victory in a war, and be a warrior worth 1000 soldiers [Musou?!] So it can be quite practical.
[still not totally sold. But if life in the colony gets any more boring, he may have to try some out.
His line suddenly jerks and then begins spooling out like mad - there is something huge on the line and it's trying to get away. Zoro yanks back on it, dropping his bottle in order to keep both hands on the pole.]
Perhaps it will make more sense if you experience one!
[She can take him treasure hunting! If he agrees, anyway.
But that can be decided later, as it looks like they'll have a bit of action on their hands. Or his hands, anyway. She tries to make sure he has space, and that the boat is balanced, as he fights to win.]
Bring one up that is as big as you!
[Thinking about it, a Zoro fish would be abnormally huge?!]
[with the size of the boat it's probably better that he doesn't try to stand up, right? Braced on his knees, he fights the fish with all his might - he's not going to lose this one, not if he can help it!
When it gets within a certain distance of the boat, though, it stops struggling and he manages to reel it in. It isn't quite as big as him, but that's a good-sized fish. Looks like a generic freshwater fish, a pike or something.]
[She'll cheer him on! Or at least she will once he wins, since she's not sure if too much noise will end up being a distraction. It is when he reels it in that she starts clapping excitedly. Plain fish, but it's big!]
[of course, the bucket isn't going to hold this thing, but it's not like it's going to start stinking up the boat if he just leaves it to flop...
...is it?]
So the green ones catch fish, but there's no telling what size it'll be. Good to know. Maybe I'll try another blue one. [results inconclusive after all]
[She watches as it flops there, and pokes it. Normally she would feel bad that it's going to be out in the air for so long, but since this is a game, she doesn't.
The boat might be rocking quite a bit so she stops poking just to try to balance it. There we go.]
We are learning, one day we'll even beat this game. Hopefully the large bait will also deliver good results, otherwise we know it's a trap.
[Psh sharks are nothing. Sharks are easy mode. But hey, it's a fishing game, so maybe the final boss isn't something that will actually kill you...]
Bring it on, then. I won't call it a day until I've caught enough to be content.
[for some reason he leans over, then, and peers at shrimp-fish-legs in the bucket. It's still silly and weird, would a game with silly, weird things actually throw krakens at them? Ah well. They'll find out.]
[Zoro taking on a shark! Clearly she wants to see this. Well, him taking on the kraken too.]
Here is to a full load! [A bucket...or a boat full of fish! She notices him leaning over, so she goes and inspects their new friend as well.] I wonder if a boss could be anything like that.
Eh, guess we'll see. And if it's lame, we can just...
[no, now that the words are there on his tongue, he can't just lose. Zoro does not deliberately lose anything. But they could quit without saving, does that count?]
