got the munchies (kitchens)

[There are perks in every messed up situation, and Eddie has wasted no time in finding them here.

He sits on the kitchen floor, one leg folded in and the other a pointed tripping hazard, with a bowl of what looks like raw cake batter in one hand, and a spatula in the other. A few elves give him the stink eye as Eddie goes to town, but he doesn't seem to mind. If anything, the self-satisfied grin on his face would suggest Eddie is thriving.

Living his best life, sticking it to the man, one scoop of potential salmonella at a time.]

skill diff (communal area)

[There was definitely a huge learning curve, but given a couple days of trial and error, Eddie has the hang of these fancy new consoles. If anyone wanders past while he's playing, he'll attempt to wave them down, holding out a controller in their direction.]

Hey! C'mere, I wanna build up an impressive record of asses kicked.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[Huh! Eddie had sort of expected anyone older than him to turn him down, but it's true what they say- you shouldn't judge a book by it's 'too mature for this' cover. He slaps both of his knees with his hands, showing his excitement with his entire body, which is kind of the Eddie brand.]

Hell yes. A very, very good question. [He holds the cover up towards Crowley. It's sporting a cast of insanely buff men and women posed as if ready to give each other a smack down. Emblazoned over them are the words "Alley Battles".]

A bold, futuristic take on beating the snot out of your enemies.

[Futuristic for Eddie, anyway.]

[The sight of the cover earns an amused scoff, but Crowley claims a seat anyway, in the loosest definition of the term 'seat' because let's be honest, he invented sitting like a bisexual.]

Bloody hell, I haven't played that sort of nonsense since the nineties.

[Implying that he plays other video games more recently?

Perhaps.

He holds out a hand for the controller, on account of being too lazy to grab it himself.]

I'll give it go, what's the worst that could happen?

[They get sucked into the game Jumanji style, probably. Hopefully that won't happen.]

Uhhh, watch your mouth, this nonsense is incredibly advanced, alright?

[It's obvious Eddie doesn't actually give a shit, but is just giving sass to give sass. He chucks the controller in Crowley's direction, assuming he'll be able to catch it.]

I kick your butt, duh. Haven't you been listening? [He grins at Crowley good naturedly, and hits a button that loads up the character selection screen. Without hesitation, Eddie zeroes in on the character he's already adopted as his favorite- a tall lady wrapped head to toe in black bandages so that her features are largely indistinguishable, trails of them floating behind her, and brandishing a katana.]

Hot tip, don't pick the literal robot. I know he looks fun, but he's garbage.

Oh, you're another poor bastard from the past, then.

[Since Eddie thinks that something like this is advanced, though he seems to have figured it out quickly enough, so maybe he's only a little bit behind.

He looks a bit amused at Eddie already having a favourite character, but doesn't spend too long making his own decision; there's almost definitely a snake themed character, and Crowley definitely chooses that one.]

There's always one that's rubbish. It's for older kids to pick when they're playing their younger siblings.

[He just made that up.]

[open] getting settled!

this is basically a dream come true

If only he could also get Crowley to play d&d
