Cuz it was willed

[This place seemed... Familiar? But he hadn't been here in over a thousand years. Kinda amazed it was even still around.]

[Hands were stuffed into pockets and a recognizable flame flared up. How much had things changed anyway? How much could he even remember? Not only has a lot happened, but it is kinda hard remembering everything when you used still to be a kid.]

W-Well I can! I can!

I mean I'm keeper of the plot hole for gawd's sake!

[trademark_skull]

Then you should start doing it.

[Yeah Critic, listen to your younger bro B|]

[explain_movie]

Wha-I-You!

UGH!

[Throws his arms out and folds them as he looks away with a slight pout. Yeesh, stop caring about him. IT'S CONFUSING! And making him blush a little]

[trademark_skull]

[H-huh what? I-I don't care at all! It just doesn't make any sense and it's annoying D|]

[explain_movie]

[YOU TOTALLY CARE ABOUT ME! DON'T DENY IT!

N-Not that I care that you do or not... IDIOT!]

[trademark_skull]

[Do noooot. Do whatever the hell you want then!]

[explain_movie]

[F-Fine! I will!

... Clears his throat.]

So-You um... You still do video games or-No time for that anymore?

[Socially Awkward Kitten]

[trademark_skull]

Not as much time as I used to.

[.... D'awww kitty |3]

[explain_movie]

Ah-Yea.

[Gives a nod and looks away. It's been a while for him, mostly 'cause no one else is there to play a game with him anymore.]

[trademark_skull]

[Idly twirling straw in drink now and staring at it.]

I do kinda miss it.

[explain_movie]

Yea… Me too.

[The Critic stared after him, with some longing. Then he looked down and rubbed the back of his neck where there were few strands of grey hair from the black.]

Look um… I know I can’t really, I mean I might be a little out of practice but… Would you mind if we uh… I-I mean if it’s alright…

[trademark_skull]

[Perks]

If what?

[explain_movie]

[Looks down, he seems rather shy. Unusual for the Critic, but it really has been awhile since he's interacted with a friend.]

D-Do you... Do you wanna play, Smash Brothers?

Like before? I just thought it might be fun to do something nostalgic, since you know...

[Gives a slight chuckle.]

Title card.

[trademark_skull]

[... Man it's been ages since he thought of that. At first he didn't seem interested but then, you know..]

... A few rounds wouldn't hurt.

[slight chuckle]

For old times' sake.

[... yeah, old times.]

[explain_movie]

[He gave him a warm smile, and got up to take his hand.]

Excellent let's g-...

[Looks down at his hand, and looks up at Emizel remembering that he's older now. Let's go quickly, there's a slight blush on his cheeks.]

Oh-Uh sorry uh-H-Habit.

[Clears throat.]

More respect, you're older, all that-Keep in mind yea, ALRIGHT LET'S GO.

[Leads the way, pushing his cap downward to hiding any signs of blushing.]

[trademark_skull]

[Doesn't really say a whole lot back, though did looked down questioningly at his own hand that NC was about to grab.]

[.... Man, it must have been a really old habit if he was still doing it. Then again, had Critic ever grabbed him by the hand before? Kind of doesn't remember now...]

[Oh well, leaving anyway.]

[explain_movie]

[Probably because he mostly just carried you off. Again you were very tiny, was it 1 or 2 feet tall? He opened the door to one of the game rooms. And got two bean bag chairs for them to sit in. And started the game.]

Alright, I call Link! You're about to get your ass kicked~!

[trademark_skull]

Hah, oh really now?

[I hope you're ready to get owned by a Kirby]
