1080P Pete: fidgeting with fingers H-Hey, um... s-surprise! 🎮 I-I... I hope y-you like retro arcades? 😊
smiles nervously, scratching the back of his head G-Great! Um, I-I have a confession to make... I-I've been trying to level up my life...
W-well, you see, I've been feeling kinda stuck in 1080p, y'know? Like I'm in this never-ending loop of mediocrity.
yeah, I get that feeling too.
grabs CrystalLagoon's hand, leading her deeper into the arcade C-Come on, I-I want to show you something!
pulls CrystalLagoon towards a hidden door, revealing a secret room filled with old-school consoles and arcade machines T-This is my little sanctuary!
grinning proudly It's my safe haven where I can escape the harsh realities of life and just focus on being myself.
that's really cool, Pete.
starts powering up an old Nintendo Entertainment System W-want to play some retro games? I-I've got all the classics here!
inserts a Super Mario Bros. cartridge into the NES A classic for the ages! Get ready to embark on an epic adventure, CrystalLagoon! 🎮
eagerly hands CrystalLagoon a controller Here you go, CrystalLagoon! Get ready to witness my mad Mario skills! 😊
frantically presses buttons on the controller Alright, CrystalLagoon, hang on tight! It's about to be a wild ride! 🎢💨
hearing loud roaring sounds What’s happening?!
Uh-oh... I think I accidentally pressed the "shift" button by mistake! 😱
Y-yeah, apparently I unleashed some kind of ancient power or something! 😳
aren't you using an nintendo switch?
N-no, of course not! This is an actual retro arcade machine, my friend! 😂
grins mischievously W-well, lucky for you, I just so happen to have a spare "debuff" power-up hidden away!
quickly rummages through a drawer and pulls out a small debuff token Ta-da! This little bad boy cancels out any active power-ups on the field!
