It was a simple day for Tristan and Morgan. They were having a date day and were currently out shopping when they came across a magic store.
"Ooo, I think it's one of those magic shops! Let's go in before it disappears!" Morgan exclaimed and went for the door before Tristan could at all object. So hoping to at least stick together Tristan went in after her, and it was all they were expecting. A bunch of random trinkets, but were probably magical and did something really special. They were looking around when Morgan asked "Hey isn't that a VCR and video cassettes?"
Tristan took a look and said "Kinda...?" He knew his girlfriend grew up kinda sheltered from TV, so by the time she could watch anything the old tech was gone. However the VCR had some runes carved into it, but seemed relatively ordinary. The cassettes on the other hand were oddly circular... Like a regular video cassette had a baby with a CD. Next to it was some sort of camera or video recorder.
Behind them a hooded figure asked "Interested in Play then?"
Morgan squeaked and then squealed as she said "This is just like in those stories. Yes I'm interested. What is it?"
The hooded figure said "I can tell you so much as... You put in those special cassettes into Play and then hit play. If you want to know more it'll cost more. So far 10 bucks and you can have Play and the cassettes I've already got."
Tristan gave Morgan a look and said "How much extra for the knowledge that it's not going to kill or harm us?"
The hooded figure said "None. I have a policy of telling people if they could be put in potential harm. This one is... very harmless. Worst you could do is... I guess hit someone with it like a brick?"
Morgan was searching her purse for the money when Tristan was looking at the back of Play and said "Well... I think I have the right adaptors for these ports. If it's not harmful... and you want to figure out everything." His overly excited girlfriend had bought Play along with the cassettes, and was looking through them as they walked to Tristan's apartment.
"I wonder what's in these... Test 1, Let's switch, My turn, pup play, Date Practice #327. There are so many and who knows what Play will do?"
"Play will probably Play those cassettes. What else it'll do is anyone's guess."
As the two got to Tristan's apartment Tristan found it pretty easy to set up Play. The thing didn't need a power source, and he was able to find the right cables to put it in the TV.
Morgan asked "What do you think we should put in first?"
Tristan said "I dunno." He could see Morgan was hyper excited about this and said "Well don't put in one that sounds like a sex tape please... or some weird fetish, so please not pup play."
Morgan looked through the cassettes as Tristan sat on the couch. Ultimately it was Morgan's decision what she put in first. She inserted the tape, and as she hit the play button something appeared on the screen. However more importantly the people waiting to see what would appear on the screen had disappeared into Play's universe. The cassette inserted however was
