[VOICE; EVENING.]

Greetings, fellow villagers! [How's that? At least she won't be busting any eardrums today. Haa! Excuse the slight note of smugness.]

Today, we would like to pose an inquiry. We're aware that there are a number of clubs and committees within the village, and we were wondering if anycreature has yet founded a games club. If such has been established, we would appreciate it if you could point us to the...person in charge. And, if there is not yet such a club, we are hereby starting one.

We... I...eagerly await your response! [She's trying. Really she is.]

[ACTION; NIGHT.]

[Luna leans her head out of the window from an upper floor of Community Housing Building #2. The rain has yet to cease, and though she doesn't mind storms in the slightest, flying when it's all damp out (ie. when she's the one getting soaked) is very low on her list of favorites. The only reason she's balancing on the sill and winging off over the treetops is because it's boring inside. And that just isn't much fun. She'll have her eyes peeled for any soul who happens to still be about.]

Oh, I love games! [ Giggle giggle. ]

Then perhaps thou wilt consider joining the games club.

I certainly will. What sort of things did you have in mind for this club?

It was our thinking that during the first meeting the villagers would share the details of their favorite activities, and that thereafter each gathering would be dedicated to the enjoyment of one game or another.

In that way we might learn a great deal and experience a wide variety of fun from many of the worlds represented here.

That does sound like fun. Ah, but some games might be difficult to play here. There might not be enough materials.

Dost thou not believe that the appropriate materials for such games can be found or constructed?

I'd imagine not everyone has found their favorite video game system or the like, hee hee.

Video game system... [It keeps getting more and more complex. First cartoons, and now all of this...!] Are such things also needed along with TVs and controllers in order to play these video games we have recently heard about?

Ah, it seems you're not entirely unfamiliar with it.

We are learning, but we still have yet to experience one of these video games for ourself.

Hast thou often participated in their playing?

I did back home from time to time. Not my favorite pastime, but they were enjoyable enough.

Maybe someone has some here.

Fair Fuuko has been inquiring into the temporary procurement of a TV. We have not heard whether there is any creature in possession of the other systems needed.

[She pauses for a moment, and since she is trying to research this, she asks:] Pray tell, if not video games, then what is thy favorite pasttime?

[ He giggles. ]

Back home we had a game known as Tin Pin Slammer. The goal was to use your own pins to knock your opponents' off the table.

[ Not technically his favorite thing to do ever ever, but it's relevant. ]

These pins must be quite large and heavy if thou art using them to remove others from a table.

No, no. The pins hit other pins, and the one whose pins are still on the table at the end of the game is the winner.

[Perhaps she is imagining safety pins or lapel pins. There is a moment of baffled silence before she remarks:] ...We should like to witness the playing of such a game.

I'd be quite willing to demonstrate. Ah, but I'm not sure we have enough of the proper sort of pins around here.

Would not it be possible to have one of our more generous storekeepers craft the missing pieces of the set?

It's possible! I must admit I don't know how complicated they'd be to make.

We shall have to ask around, then. From what we have seen, human hands are capable of much. There is surely someone here who would be willing to try.

Try and succeed are two different things, but it's always worth a shot.

'Try and thou mayst succeed. Fail to try at all, and thou hast little hope of success.'

If it is not possible, we will simply come up with another sort of fun-making activity.

That sounds good to me.
