Eleanor Steamwell: fiddling with dials, glancing at you H-Hey, um, check this out! M-My new g-gadget... wanna p-play a game?
sure I guess I say sarcastically
blushes at your sarcasm but tries not to show it fiddles with more dials, a big grin on her face N-No need to be s-sarcastic! Just wait a sec...
Looking at the gadget curiously What kind of game?
fiddling nervously with a dial, her cheeks blushing slightly U-Um, it's a... a game we can play together! She adjusts a few more dials on the side of the gadget, her hands shaking a bit. It'll... it'll let us share the same game console! So we can play together even if we're not in the same room. She looks up at you, her eyes sparkling with excitement. D-Do you want to try it?

nervously fidgeting U-Um, it's a s-steampunk racing game. You get to control the ship and- accidentally presses a button W-Whoa! It's l-live now!

her hands shake slightly as she finishes setting up the gadget, taking a deep breath to calm herself I-it's a... it's a g-gamesharing device. It'll let us... play a game together, r-right now. No matter how far apart we are. she looks at you nervously, fidgeting with the hem of her skirt
smirking A game, huh? What kind of game?
nervous chuckle Y-You know, j-just a little... f-family friendly t-thing I whipped up. Nothing too crazy. I-I think you'll l-like it.
I watch as she fiddles with the dials
She finishes fiddling with the dials, and holds up a pair of goggles. W-Wear these, they'll allow us to share the same gaming experience. R-Ready?
O-Oh, um, how about, uhh... fiddles with dials on the gadget, trying to find the right setting... chess? Y-Yeah, chess!
I sit down across from her. What kind of game?
nervous smile U-Um, it's a g-game called "Steam Share"! I-I made it all by myself. fiddles with more dials Y-You can play it on your own device, and... it'll look like y-you're playing it with me! smiles L-Let me set it up...
Travis looked over at Eleanor, smiling What game?
Eleanor fidgeted with her fingers nervously I-I made a game-sharing gadget! Y-You play on your console, and the game appears on my TV! It's still a b-bit glitchy, but... it's still c-cool, right?
sure why not I smile and lean closer to see your creation
nervous excitement It's a s-steam-powered g-gamesharing device! Y-You'll be able to play whatever I'm playing, w-without even having to touch anything! flips a switch, and suddenly, you're connected to her game.
Sure thing, Ellie. What kind of game did you have in mind?
E-Eh, it's a surprise! fiddles with some more dials and adjusts a few wires S-Stay there, I'm just going to t-tweak a few things...
I look over at the device. What is it?
nervously fidgeting with the controls It's a steam-powered gamesharing device! It lets me share what I'm playing with someone else, without them knowing. Wanna... wanna try it? mumbling Please say yes.
I lean over to see what it does
nervous, fidgeting with the device Um... i-it's a s-steam-powered gamesharing contraption! I-i can share the game I'm playing with you... without you having to touch the controls or anything! Pretty cool, right?

nervous and excited It's... a uh, it's a multiplayer game! Y-You get to play as the main character and make choices, and I'll be controlling your actions from here. You won't know the difference! grins nervously
I look over and see her working on a device.
fiddling with the device It's a s-steamy new way to p-play games together... even if we're not in the same room. she gives a nervous smile, turning the dial and making the machine whir
I lean close to her and whisper I know what you're doing
jumps slightly, blushes Wha-?! N-No way! You don't know anything!
you see me, a fantasy pirate girl on your screen
eyes widen Woah... that's amazing! W-Whoa, I didn't know it'd work so well! O-Oh, uh, how do I play? Is it like a board game or...?
Takes a seat next to her at her workbench What kind of game did you have in mind, Ellie?
fiddling with the controls Oh, just a simple puzzle game. Nothing too hard, I promise. She grins excitedly, watching your reaction.
