| Armand | (I find the idea of him getting very caught up in Hyrule Warriors very funny) Revamped Link's Awakening - he'd enjoy some classic maddening puzzle dungeons and it's both cute and sinister as well. Would exploit glitches on a separate save or device because that's a different activity, taking things apart - never on his actual main save. |
|---|---|
| Claudia | Majora's Mask - would have attention span to smash the story, with some revenge against mask seller. Would love all the people watching required to get it done |
| Lestat | Twilight Princess - he's a big puppy but it works for the creep factor and getting caught up in specific character arcs and I think he'd be really into the whole Midna tragedy and lost back in time areas. (Also easier to play to completion than like, Majora's Mask, but I'm sure he'd appreciate the zora rockstar) |
| Louis | Tears of the Kingdom - the melancholy, but the *people* factor that the old games had, but with more complexity than say, Skyward Sword, which is potentially unideal. Also he needs a game he can take photos in (depending on AU, he gives his file over to Armand to do all the photos of like, spoons) Would use exploits for like, item dupes but not like, combat/gameplay |
| Madeleine | Breath of the Wild - just has a vibe (also appropriate to link fledgling/maker with TotK!Louis) "clauDIA HE THINKS THERE'S SOMETHING LEFT OF MY ERA" |
| Daniel | The Legend of Zelda - old school - 8bit; He lived through it's dangerous to go alone |
| Pokemon Go | Armand during the pokemon go heyday / vampire zooming around dubai Banned for suspected spoofing after he private jets to 3 different locations in one day some of his lunches nearly got away in that era because he was distracted by rare pokemon |
| Lestat | Lestat and his six dog Pokémon Gives as much love to like, entei as he does like, a stoutland Thinking about Lestat and his like, eviolite-infused hisuan growlithe |
| Madeleine | eeveelutions queen sylveon an espeon and an umbreon because. elegant nightmares but also a fuck off froslass; dhelmise and ceruledge to complete the set |
| Daniel | Gen one because the classics are the best, except you don't realise they're all set up with later gen powers and you're gonna be slaughtered |
| Armand | Armand is a fucking meta gamer. Real rival energy - the specific counters to you , somehow knows what you're planning to do, somehow,,,, lots of healers and status effects in his party; like that fucking Shiinotic mimikyuu - maybe a zoruark pretending to be mimikyuu which feels enough layers (He sends out a mimikyuu, and Daniel sends out a ditto) Armand would use a tinkaton against claudia because he's a bastard |
| Louis | I think Louis would definitely lean into like, things with speed / advantage moves that go first He'd be great at dual battles he remembers to switch up his pokes' items as well loumand pvp would be the most drawn out slog of a battle imaginable - a war of attrition - time out for sure they stopped having fun HOURS ago but unfortunately they never run out of revives or PP-up I think Louis just wins, because he spent enough time grinding with his team working them out that the hidden IVs edge it out; whereas Armand relied on hatching perfect base iv (and armand nearly flies into space to throw his gameboy/DS/switch into the sun about it because all his CALCULATED EFFORTS) |
| Claudia | claudia and her little dark/poison goth selection, always likes the games with fashions likes getting people into the killbox, controlling opponent move choice/target (taunt, etc, intimidate, item switches etc) - (item switches would not work with lestat, because if they have items they would not be relevant to combat) |
| SLIME RANCHER | Which vampire would be the best slime rancher [LOUIS] Maybe? To let him be parent and gardener calm; Getting into the hobby with like, best combo for enrichment books; Think he'd appreciate the whimsy and possibility [ARMAND] would be ruthlessly min-maxing I don't think he'd love his slimes; but he would love to feed them chickens; maybe he would love them actually [LESTAT] would cry the most at the credits; If any of them would manage to like speed run by accident it's the brat prince; as we've established, Lestat just needs hobbies but after he's overrun his farm with hunter slimes I think he'd fuck off and go do other things; [CLAUDIA] I don't actually know about Claudia! Like, it's traditional but... idk; maybe Claudia needs more blood in her games [DANIEL] does not understand how to dad anything; Those slimes would be dead in a week; RIP. In-game Daniel will still find some way to do something completely un-slime-related; He's investigating the evil slimes (Daniel is an arcade gamer only; they have every console now because of Armand) |
| UNDERTALE | [T] help. armand undertale phase [D] Armand, fascinated by Sans [T] but you see, beloved, then the game remembers. it remembers what you did. how diabolical daniel 👁️👁️ [D] The game remembers, where you do not [T] He fucking hates mettaton; no taste [D] (Not me, replaying the arleccino scene with death by glamour) [D] He'd not care about toriel (and be WRONG) but breakdown at asgore |
| PENTIMENT | [T] Armand can never be allowed to play pentiment [D] Not googling "daddy issues games" but wishing to (Very daniel-esque, looking for ways to hurt our oldest friend) [T] Painter character, relationships and themes of regret especially towards young people would break him into splinters i feel like [D] See yeah it's interesting because I was thinking exactly those reasons as why he wouldn't be able to do it as it's all about him, right, I don't think he could get into Marius headspace; or like, detach himself from himself enough to. Honestly Pentiment would probably fuck up the other three way more; (Daniel because he does see the parallels) [T] I don't think he would be able to approach it coherently, just see certain elements and fucking go into a bad place [D] Going in all cocky and choosing languages and knowledge he has so he can be like, I know this and then getting bodied [T] Also he'd already be frustrated by being set up to fail at manipulating situations [D] Oh don't. Fucking,, like, our entire run I think Cameron and I beat one (1) check; possibly two [T] lmao what a game |
| DISCO ELYSIUM | [T] Which harry would they all be; barring Lestat because DE has too many words for him [D] I mean he could play with someone else, being the decision maker. I was goin to say his is obvious right in terms of the superstar one [D] I think Daniel would go full on ethnonationalist to see what the game does [D] Would louis end up killing himself in that crowd scene [T] yes [T] Armand is all over the place because he plays for achievements [D] He would also stop playing and spend most of his time with the smoker on the balcony who caught his eye [T] Oh yes; gravitating to other weird gays 4eva [T] Claudia thinks you should be able to play as klaasje [D] Noticing once more that women are in a man's story [D] Oh would Armand get jealous or interested by Kim [T] Maybe a bit of both; he would definitely be standoffish which is a shame because they could share such notes on their pathetic dogs |
