Does anyone else play Tetris?

_{[Guess who finally discovered the game apps on his 'gear! And guess who's been playing the games ever since! Spoiler: this guy. Cooper sounds pretty excited, actually, in that almost kid-like way that the ones who know him will probably recognise. He speaks fast and chipper.]}

Damn good game. Very engaging, very challenging. I've yet to get past the 100 lines mark, but I'd very much like to believe I'm getting there.

_{[Beat. You know, sometimes he really doesn't want to be here, but this games-in-the-gears-thing certainly picked him up.]}

Falling puzzle pieces _[:D] ... that Minesweeper game isn't half bad, either. And if I've got my facts right there are more games available for purchase at the PokéMarts. So, Network: any recommendations?

_{[You should be able to HEAR the grin in his voice, seriously.]} Nothing like a good game to keep you occupied.

_[Action_{for anyone in Ecruteak! You're likely to find him somewhere in the middle of town on a park bench or something, cross-legged with an Eevee asleep in his lap, playing Tetris on his 'gear like a boss.]}

[He lets out an amused snort at that.]

Well, ain't ya lucky to meet the one and the only Crow-sama?

_{[Bright grin to match that.]}

I guess I am. _{[And also yes, Coop is going to keep picking up on details- this time, that 'sama'.]} You're Japanese?

[Again, it kind of surprises him, if only because he probably wouldn't bother with such details.]

Yeah! I come from Neo Domino City, to be precise, though I've heard it doesn't exist in other versions of Japan.

_{[Cooper's always had a thing for details. Not to mention he's with the law enforcement, so that trait of his has always been encouraged.]}

Given the amount of different worlds there seem to be that's hardly surprising.

[Figures! ... Although Crow probably wouldn't be half as friendly towards him as he is now if he knew about the law enforcement part.]

Heh, true! 'S almost as if every person I meet is from a different one.

_{[Hmm. He a criminal or just distrustful of cops?]}

That's probably the case. But it never quite ceases to be amazing, does it?

[A little of both, but who can blame him? You would dislike guys who continuously abuse their authority to harass people of your hometown, pretty much tortured your friend to death in jail, their boss tried to destroy the world, the higher-ups tried to kill you on multiple occasions and are about to blow up the place where you live. Anyone would.]

That's right! Hell, I never knew there were any other worlds before coming here.

_{[...yes. Wow. Anyone absolutely would. Seems like genuinely good cops - like Coop himself - are an increasingly rare breed.]}

I've talked to several people who were not only aware of other words, but travel between them on occasion. Isn't that something?

[ALAS. Though to be fair, Crow personally knows like... 3 good cops or so. Out of dozens he's dealt with.]

Pretty damn impressive. But I guess since time travels are possible, then so is this, huh?

_{[Wait hold up]}

You've travelled in time, Crow?

Me? Nah, 'course not! A good friend of mine has, though.

[As well as a number of Bad Guys, but. DETAILS.]

Really? How does that work?

_{[DETAILS INDEED. Coop doesn't know it but he's got crazy time travel shenanigans (sort of) behind him himself, but .. it hasn't happened yet! Except it has. In any case, he's interested!]}

No effing idea! Pretty sure he doesn't know the details either.

[... Yeah, Crow tends to be ridiculously honest. He really doesn't know how it works -- well, other than it was done by the power of a god, but that doesn't exactly explain much.]

_{[It ... really doesn't. But that blunt answer gets a small chuckle out of Cooper.]}

Sounds like something else.
