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!"

On the other hand, Gilgamesh's ego is naturally such that the praises throw him somewhat. He could scarcely believe that any mongrel would cheer him on unless it is entirely sincere, being as that is what his majesty inspires. Thus he is presently torn between suspicion and supposing that this newcomer might be some chaos agent who has decided to switch sides. Or is she something else altogether? Magisteria is always full of surprises. If there is one thing Gilgamesh and the rest of the Otherworlders (no doubt) have learned, it is this.
"Hmph... of course, that is the case..." Gilgamesh agrees, readily. Praising him will get you everywhere, you know. "Yet who are you? Can it be that I have begun to form a legend in the gamer circuit, already?"
Despite, well -- he simply does not even look at the girl with the cat-ear headphones. Okay, Gilgamesh is not one to question those who sing his kingly praises, but what is going on here? Here he has been thinking how he and Rhea'li could enhance their training to fast-track them into gaming success, perhaps using some Magisterian time manipulation technology (if such existed) so that they could speed time 2-3x times during their arcade grinding. Certainly this is a reasonable method of training for such a challenge.

But hey, she can work with that. It would be funny for cheerleading to actually do something, right? She waves a pom-pom and Gilgamesh's racecar on the screen spouts flames out of the back and starts going twice as fast. The girl with the cat ear headphones snorts. "You're going to have to fix his steering, too, if you want that to do any good."

... well, Gilgamesh may not have won, but at least they both lost. Quite spectacularly, in fact! He laughs heartily, quite thoroughly pleased with this outcome.
"Ahahaha, look at that! Run out, were you, mongrel?" Oh, yes. That's another thing: Gilgamesh is fully in the habit of gamer trash talk now. "That vehicle of yours is now in the trash heap... a most satisfying immolation..."
And he's not even questioning the mechanics or just how exactly this happened. Gilgamesh is just so pleased by this virtual catastrophe, complete with racing and explosions. Ah, Magisterian gaming is truly more fun than he had perhaps anticipated...
