Our capacity for love increases with each person we cross paths with throughout our lives, and with each moment we spend with those people. But, too often we neglect that part of ourselves in favor of others. And by the time we realize just how important it is, we find ourselves with fewer folks around to practice with. But the seven of you have something that nobody else ever had: time. All the time in the world. Time enough to grow indescribably close. Time enough to learn how to care for each other, how to allow yourselves to be cared for.

John: Likes video games starrin’ them Good Blue Boys like Sonic, Megaman, and Shovel Knight. His tastes are p mainstream for the most part!
Rose: Loves the Soulsborne games. Enjoys Bioware games but is bitter that you can’t date Morrigan or Tali as a female character. Fond of lore heavy and/or narrative driven games in general. Will absolutely find ways to speedrun/exploit glitches in anything she gets really into.
Dave: If he’s by himself he’ll either play campy shit like Deadly Premonition or the worst possible indie games he can find for free/under five dollars, otherwise he really only plays multiplayer games with his friends. He will fuck someone up at Mario Kart. Would probably definitely have a Monster Factory type show with Rose.
Jade:
Loves everything from Harvest Moon type games to platformers to shooters to rhythm games.
Will play almost anything you put in front of her and will not only excel at it but also figure out a way to add a furry mod to it Jade how the fuck did you make your Ghostbusters MMO character a giant wolf.
Jane: Loves mystery and puzzle games. She already lived through rl Myst, she’s got pretty much anything you throw at her in the bag. Likes the Layton series, The Witness, The Wolf Among Us (Bigsby, what a man!), and the Ace Attorney series (Mia Fey, what a woman!). Thinks the Nancy Drew game series deserves way more attention than it gets.
Dirk: Keep him away from any game with stats. He mapped out every possible pairing in order to make the Optimal Children in Fire Emblem, breeds the Perfect Team in Pokemon, and god help you if you want to play an MMO with him “just for fun” because he’s got everyone’s equipment already mapped out and hey just so you know you should pick these spells when you level up and hey wait no don’t leave please
jake: Tomb Raider. Are you kidding me? Tomb Raider. Sure, he also enjoys the Uncharted series and he’ll play the occasional fighting game with a friend, but listen. Lara. Motherfuckin’. Croft.
roxy: Canonically loves THE NINTENDOS. Absolutely the type of person that will main a character in a video game just because they’re Pink. Would abuse her void powers to create cosplay that she’dpersuade her friends into wearing (’omg jane you would be such a cute mei and i could be dva it’s perfect!!!! im a fuckin genius’)
