Warnings: Robot is playing shooty game so violent imagery and mention of guns, I guess?
(The shellphone has been set down on a shelf or table or something out of the way and forgotten. They are not familiar with this form of technology, and are not currently aware that it is broadcasting.
The tiny residence on Elah is, well, a tiny residence on Elah. Legion has done nothing at this point to personalize the starter apartment they've been given, and the only sign that anyone is living there at all is that Legion is standing in it.
Considering that Legion is a six and a half foot tall alien robot, this is probably a pretty jarring sight. They're not really looking at or paying attention to the shellphone though. Instead, they're looking at their arm, which seems to be surrounded by a strange orange glow and projecting a holographic screen, and is that...?
Yeah, that's a videogame. Shooter, from the sounds of it. The alien robot is 100% playing the alien robot version of Call of Duty on their weird arm thing. They seem pretty into it too, with all the chittering and mechanical noises they're making.)

Though built into our arm, external operation of the Omni-Tool is possible.
(Legion, why would you say that, now people are going to want to use your arm to play videogames!)
no subject
[Yeah probably, but right now (and only for now) is she a little too shy to just be like 'omw to play some games'.. but perhaps eventually.]
But that's neat. I only see that sort of thing IN video games so you gotta be from the future.
no subject
(They have several games.)
Query: Current year in your world of origin?
no subject
[Now that she realizes it, just going "you got any games on your arm?" was probably kind of rude?]
Unless you have another way to do that I mean. I don't wanna like, invade your space, you know? And I'm from 2017, our tech is definitely not that sophisticated yet.

(The behavior of organics toward them is highly unusual. Perhaps this is a way through which they can gain allies.
Note the word occasional, though.)
no subject
I wouldn't... try for more than occasional, but I don't have my own rig here to play stuff. If i get it back, wonder if you can download stuff that I have if it interests you? Dunno if it would, but I mean, the offer would be there.
[Plenty of VNs and regular games on her laptop! But that's back in Reverein still.]
...but I wonder if the inverse could happen? Get your games on my laptop, so I don't have to use your arm or you as a projection.
no subject
(On both counts, though they're uncertain whether her laptop would be able to hold their games.)
Storage capacity of your device?
no subject
[Wait... that's a loaded question, that makes it sound like they're pretty big, so...]
Uhh... maybe laptop and an external drive, then, I don't wanna go overboard. How big are these games...?
no subject
Fleet and Flotilla is approximately 40GB... (And well, that's just a dating sim. The other games are much more immersive and complex, and have file sizes that probably hit close to the TB range, or larger.
Yeah this is a tall order for a regular laptop. It might still be feasible?)
