Who: Hawke and YOU
What: THE RETURN OF BOARD GAEMS
When: June 18th-June 21st, afternoons.
Where: Der common room.
Warnings: INTENSE MONOPOLY ACTION
As someone who enjoyed the idle diversion now and again, Hawke found it slightly depressing that the massive piles of board games in the common room got so little use.
He'd discarded the frivolous games that required little to no thought, instead busying himself with a deck of cards and solitaire, the boxes that contained sophisticated board games like Risk and Stratego piled neatly on a coffee table next to him. It was a welcome respite from his most recent project of pouring over the documents filched from the old Black Hole headquarters, and Hawke had to admit he needed some time to focus on something else.
Coffee and cards was usually the way to go.

Oh my god his sort of commanding officer just sat down next to him and was interested in playing Galaga.
Lash was going to have a field day with this.
But first, after the initial shock and awe and creepy factor, Raiden seemed... genuinely happy at this turn of events. He brought his attention back to the game, currently paused and frozen in digital 8-bit space.
"You're the little spaceship at the bottom," Raiden explained, "And you have to stop the swarm of invading aliens before they reach the bottom of the screen. You can only move left or right, and fire. You score points for every alien you take out. Take them all out, and you move on to the next level." Predictably, more bugs moving faster. While little tactics or strategy was involved in Galaga, the game more than made up for it in testing one's speed and reaction time.
Raiden handed off the controller. "Pretty simple, right?"

But Raiden looked pleased at the turn of events, and Hawke had humored such inane diversions before (he recalled the Charizard girl and her game called "Crossfire", or whatever the heck it was). And besides, it wasn't like he was completely unaccustomed to video games. Lash played them in his apartment and at Adder's mansion all the time.
He took the controller in hand...
and stared at it.

"...You press 'start' to play."

Then he pressed start.

It was harder than it looked.
