Ari is currently standing on a broad plateau on the Plane of Gold making a very pretty statue of a woman he loved once. He's not thrilled with the fact that she put him in a coma and swanned about doing horrible things for the span of his natural life, but half a millennium is a lot of time to get over that, and Belinda made herself beautiful enough that he's willing to overlook her faults in order to use her as a model. She was stunning.

For this statue, he's elected to use various shades of corundum. He managed to get the violet in her eyes into a pair of sapphires, and is now deliberating over how to render her skin. She changed it every so often, so he's got choices here.

"I'm only barely aware of them as a medium. I have a television, though?"

"Let's see your TV and see if you need an upgrade."

The TV is nearby! It is a ridiculous thing that takes up almost an entire wall. It's very, very modern.

"My most recent summoner was rich and knew things about technology and he wrote me up a list of his favorite toys," grins Ari. "I have no idea what half of them do, but whatever it is, they do it well."

"This TV will do nicely." Cam conjures up a Wii and its various hookups already in place, and controllers (the wheel kind, because why not), and a copy of Mario Kart. He goes briskly through various setup procedures while explaining the general phenomenon of Mario Kart to Ari, and then hands him one of the wheels.

Ari gamely attempts to Mario Kart! He is roughly as competent as might be expected of a man from 1426 who until fifteen minutes ago believed that video games were essentially Choose Your Own Adventure novels.

He does improve noticeably as time goes by, though.
