Where: An arcade
Who: Crowley, Gilgamesh, and Rhea'li, and anyone else who wants to get their game on
When: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
What: Crowley is Here to Help with their gamer dreams
Warnings: None
Kira wants him to get Rhea'li and Gilgamesh to win a video game? He can do some miracles on the subject. But first he needs to look the part.
Crowley has observed the video game culture of Magisteria, and he has drawn some conclusions. All the elite gamers are girls, so that's a requirement. And he's seen how they dress.
So when Crowley goes looking for her targets, she does it with a chin-length bob of curly red hair, dressed to kill: two artfully shredded tank tops in cyan and magenta, over a black lace bra, and a black snakeskin miniskirt and clompy black snakeskin platform boots over artfully shredded magenta and cyan fishnet tights.
Rhea'li
When she manages to find the arcade Rhea'li is in at the moment, she drapes herself over his shoulders from behind. "I hear you've been challenged to win some games," she says, without further introduction. She assumes Rhea'li will recognise her--he knows she can shapeshift after all--but it would also be funny if he didn't, so either is fine. "And that it would take a miracle, which is something I can help with."
Gilgamesh
The bugger calling himself Gilgamesh is easy to track down. He is, as always, loud and self-aggrandizing, boasting of his prowess at something or other while getting absolutely creamed by a girl who looks about fourteen who has cat-ear headphones nestled behind her horns.
Crowley leans against a nearby machine and manifests some cyan-and-magenta pom-poms. Kira wants her to make Gil win, but nothing said she couldn't make fun of him first. And he's so very easy to encourage.
She waves the pom-poms vaguely. "Gil, Gil, he's our man, if he can't do it, no one can!"

"Well... she said she wanted me to be interesting to play against. And if she were sabotaged that would be no fun for her, no?"
Should he be concerned about how, exactly, Crowley intended to improve his performance? He mentioned miracles but... it isn't exactly an unusual thing for him to receive power from strange sources.
"I would have you aid my performance."

That's not necessarily true but he'll trust in Crowley's help.
Returning to his side of the machine, Rhea'li turns his gaze to his screen, ready to try again.
He does... better. The boost in damage helps him press the advantage in the few openings the demon girl gives him. It is a little strange to see her character's attacks not connect with his character despite the larger size, but he realises quickly that there is a disconnect between his character's appearance and where he would take damage. It takes a little time for both of competitors to adjust to the change but soon Rhea'li's character is once again plastered onto the floor of the virtual arena.
It's a much closer match this time.
no subject
Crowley watches the match with bated breath and an increasing frown. "Hm. Not quite enough. What if I..." This time, the character becomes very small--barely knee high on the competition--and she makes sure to shrink the hitbox as well. The weapon stays jumbo-sized. "Try again."
no subject
Focus.
"Ready for another round of getting your butt kicked?"
Rhea'li takes hold of the controls. "I will be the one who snatches victory this time."
This time, he's more prepared for the dissonance of his small character moving what appears to be a much longer distance (but in reality is the same as before). Even with the advantages that Crowley has bestowed upon him, his opponent is truly very skilled. Still, he knows better than to let his guard down even when he has the advantage, and by keeping a cool head he slowly but surely claws his way to victory!
(Though it did look dire at numerous points...)
