Ariel storms in "It's here"

"What's here?"

"The New X Box"

Jess looks... trouble. "A video game? Here?"

"Yup" Ariel beams

"Why?"

"Because video games are fun?" The girl says confused

"how many controllers?" Holger asks

"We got four but I think we can only do two at a time" Ariel states

"Will it even work here?"

"We got nockers working on it" She says

She seems to really onthe ball with this

Jessica doesn't seem to love this idea but.... she nods. "Ok."

"Where'd it come from?"

"My cousin, Sally Mae. She felt bad about missing my birthday" The birthday was very nice "Come on"

"I don't really play video games..." but she goes along to see.

There is a nocker setting it up, the kids already had a TV.

Ash looks troubled and mutters "Did you approve this?"

"I didn't even know about it. Sally Mae sent it."

"Oh dear. "

The nockeer is working on it, "I could improve this... make it more.. immersive"

"Please Do Not."

"Fine fine..." he thumps it and soon, it is working

Jess watches, and might not realize she is frowning disapprovingly.

"Do we have any scary games?" Ahpuch asks

"Yuck. Who would want them?" Ariel says

Indeed, more than a few childlings have gathered about

"Kids..." a glance at Ash "What would you think about keeping this at my apartment? And playing it there? I'll make sure there are snacks too."

"Buuuut... "Ariel stops "It's my birthday present"

Ahpuch whispers "My precious"

The Satyr glares at the sluagh

"WHy would you wish to take her gift away, Countess?" Holger says confused

Salma sniffs from the doorway. "It is an evil box."

"It's got racing games and magic gardens" Ariel stamps her foot

She spreads her fingers wide, arms going out in a spooooky motion. "It is currrrsed, by la bruja electrica, and will steal your thoughts and minds, mi amigos!"

Holger eyes the X box and reaches for his weapon

"Not take it away, not at all! Give it a home, keep it safe, and make sure you can enjoy it."

"See, La Condesa fears for your safety."

"She will spirit it away where it cannot warp you."

Ariel says 'But It's MINE. I don't LIVE in Jessica's apartment, I live HERE. I don't even see most of my family anymore"

her eyes are growing red with possible tears

"Now, now, mi cabracita, La Condesa would not want you to be hurt. Otherwise why would she take away your very own regalo de cumpleaños? Your birthday present?"

A glance over to Jessica, open for explanation.

"Ariel, it's yours." Jessica confirms "You can keep it where you want."

That seems to calm Ariel "Well I want it here" She might relent more later, but her dander is up

"Worry not, Condesa. I will watch to make sure that no one has the brain rot."

She creeps a bit closer as well, eyeing the stack of games.

"Holgar will protect us as well."

"Now, Holgar, if you see anyone turning into a Zombie, you pull the plug, comprende?"

"Si" He nods "No zombies"
