It was a little hard to move towards the games with Lizzy clinging onto him like that. He wasn't really sure why she was acting like this right now, but then he remembered how she clung to Mac during and after the island fiasco. Perhaps it was just something she did. Even so, it was... kinda awkward to deal with.
"Uh ok," he said before seeing that she had at least shifted from his body to his arm. It was now a little easier to move.
"How about... scario kart?" he suggested while spotting the game sitting next to his new Eii, "Its a racing game."

Again, Lizzy wasn't going to let go... Partially because part of her was still upset and that normally ended up with her clinging to the nearest body for comfort, and partially because... Well, because its Jericho.
"Scario kart?" She echoed, her gaze shifting to where the dragon was currently looking as she spotted the game, "Racing? How do you race...?" She was definitely interested, even if she had fighting games in mind where '2-player games' were concerned since she had actually seen and played with those before a long time ago, even if it was mostly her giggling and button mashing away while staring at the screen.

With the girl still clinging to him, Jericho went on and set up the system before grabbing a controller and handing it to Lizzy.
"Simple. You use the 'A' button to accelerate, the 'B' button to brake and the analog stick to steer. On the road will be some power ups which can be used to help you get ahead of your opponents. Basically there's tree laps around the course and first person to finish wins," he explained, "So.. you wanna play that?"

This was not the first time Lizzy had held a game controller, but it had been a long time... She let go of Jericho's arm only to hook it around her own arm before taking the controller, holding it with a rather amazed look on her face as she grinned; for once, there was no need for her to fear her mother finding out that she had been indulging herself with these games!
School is awesome.
"A for accelerate, B for brake," She giggled softly as she looked up, "Very apt... And power ups? Is there a way for you to show me how its done first without me playing?" She was sure there must be a 1-player option as well. or something similar to it.

Jericho was rather glad Lizzy had stopped clinging to him at that point. It'd be... difficult for them both to play like that. When she requested for an example, he nodded and set up a one player game for her to watch. Once he picked out his character, he waited for the race to start.
While he played, he explained what each of the power ups did as he got them. He also showed her how to use the items since he had failed to mention to do so in his initial 'how to play' bit. By the end of the race, the dragon had managed to snag second place.
"Oh yeah, we won't just be competing against each other, but the computer as well," he added, motioning to the other characters that had been in the race as well.
"Think you got all that?"

Was she leaning against Jericho while he was giving her a demonstration? Why, yes. Yes, she was. Surprisingly. It probably hadn't sunk into her yet, seeing how her full attention was on the screen as well as on the controller in Jericho's hands, looking from one to the other to see how exactly the dragon was doing it. At least she had let go of his arm to make it easier for both of them to play?
"Right... I'm still a little confused about some of the, uh, power ups," She smiled sheepishly at Jericho before holding up her own controller, tilting her head to a side before turning to look at the screen again, "But no better way to learn than to just try it, yes? Ready when you are!"

Nodding to Lizzy, Jericho went ahead and set up their first race, giving Lizzy time to pick out which character she wanted to play as and such. He picked out one of the shorter and easier courses for her to get started on, seeing how this was her first time playing.
And then it was time for the game to start.

And off he went, bumping into a few of the other characters in the process as they all scrambled off of the starting line.

[BLADE SLEPT WITH THE RNG GODS. )8]
Lizzy actually squeaked when all the vehicles started to move; sure, there was the countdown and she had observed a demo before, but playing was different! Brows furrowing in concentration, she stared with mixed feelings as Jericho pulled ahead with some of the computer players.
Part of her was happy about Jericho being good at this since... Well, its difficult for her to find fault with him except for the dice > Lizzy incident. She wasn't going to let that go for a while, probably... Besides, part of her did not want to lose, even if she was new to the game.
Every time there is a turn, she would lean in the direction she was turning in the game, even if it didn't help. It just happened naturally; she couldn't stop herself!

Well Jericho was off to a pretty good start for this round. He dropped a few intestines onto the road, hoping to cause the cpu and possibly Lizzy to slip up on them. The competitive edge in him made him not want to lose, so he wasn't really going all that easy on her.
The first lap soon came to a close and he was starting up on the second, so he took a quick peek at the minimap to see how all the others were doing. A few were close on his tail, while others were lagging behind a fair amount it seemed.
In the meantime, he was too into the game to notice Lizzy leaning here and there whenever she made a turn.

[And now I totally slept with them, apparently.]
Might as well he wasn't going easy on her; she would be pretty insulted by that. She did accidentally drive over... Intestines? It caused her to lose control, and she stared in mild horror as several opponents sped past her before she finally regained control.
"Come onnnnn," She muttered softly as she picked up a power-up; to her surprise, it was a boost. A very good boost. Activating it immediately, she sped past several opponents, until she could see Jericho just in front of her, the finishing line in full view. She subconsciously leaned forward, pressing down hard on the 'A' button...
... And passed Jericho in the last second.
She then proceeded to stare at the screen. And stare. And stare. The same way she stared at topless Jericho at the beginning of this visit.

Jericho was almost certain he had this race in the bag. But he should have known that was never really something he should assume in this game in particular. Unexpected things happened all the time.
The finish line was right up ahead and victory was right in his grasp! That was, until Lizzy had come in at the very last moment to pass him up putting him in second place.
Stunned at the suddenness of this, he took a moment and stared at the results screen before laughing heartily.
"Nice job!" he said to the demon, looking over at her. She seemed to be even more shocked than himself, "Do you want to go another round? Try a tougher course?"

"R-really?" Her voice came out a little strained, but she definitely sounded happy at the compliment even if she had to look up at Jericho for confirmation because the giant "YOU WON!" on her portion of the screen didn't really register in her head at all. That was... Amazing! It was thrilling and fun and exciting and... Awesome.
"Yes please! That was... That was awesome!" She nodded with a grin, clutching the controller close to her as she wriggled her toes inside her shoes happily. A pause quickly followed before she pouted, "I hope you weren't going easy on me!"

"Don't worry I wasn't" Jericho chuckled, amused with Lizzy's enthusiasm here. He was glad she was enjoying this all though. Shaking his head to himself, he went on and got the next race set up, choosing a more intermediate track to play on.
Once the race got started, the dragon ended up messing up pretty badly at the beginning. Woops. Furrowing his brow, he was determined to get back ahead of the game.

"Good!" She grinned, looking relatively relieved before her attention went back to the screen; so many different tracks and characters! She just want to try them all!
One step at a time though.
If Jericho thought that his start was bad, Lizzy's was probably worse in every way possible. Such as the fact that almost everyone sped past her, knocking her this way and that... She couldn't help frowning at that as she leaned forward again, staring at the screen while mentally cheering her character on.

Gritting his teeth, Jericho worked hard to take the lead, driving into the item boxes whenever he could in hopes of getting something that would really help him out.
While he did manage to get some nice stuff, he accidentally drove into a fake one in his eagerness which ended up blowing him off the track, wasting precious time. Cursing lowly to himself for that mistake, he wondered if there was any way he could salvage this but that wasn't looking so good right now.
