"Hey, Kai-"
Kai clearly isn't aware of Mandy standing directly behind him,
because he jumps when she speaks, causing the Shrine Maiden to get
hit by a sudden wave of bullets. He turns round, irritated, as the
words 'GAME OVER' flash up.
"Having trouble?"
"What do you want?" he snaps.
"Well, sorry for disturbing the clearly world changing game, but I'm meeting Sarah in ten. I need to you quit your bullet hell and help me land the house."
"Since when did I help you with that? What happened to Pumpkin?
And why can't you just use a ladder like last time?"
"Pumpkin's still in her room. I don't know whether she's asleep
or not, but frankly if she is then I would waste time checking. And
we need to land anyway for the meeting at five-whenever, and the
parade thing at midnight. So. Quit your game and give me a hand."
Kai makes a frustrated snorting sound and quits the game.
"Since when does this take two people?" he asks, shoving
the computer at the wall with more force than necessary. There is a
slight bang as goes through a hole and hits something, before the
wall folds back over it again.
"Since the auto-lander broke."
"Since when was that broken?"
"Stop saying 'since when', and perhaps you spilling tea all over
it might have had something to do with it?"
"That was your tea!"
"You were holding it at the time, though."
