Bring your quarters, I'm going to teach you air hocky if you don't already play.

FROSTING (TEXT)

[happybirthdaytoyou]

[More letters in frosting, although this time the color is red.]

SCRTNOSCLB

THAT CODE WILL GIVE YOU A FREE CAKE FROM MAGNIFICENT BAKERY!

[The cake itself will say HAPPY END OF SEMESTER on top in the same red frosting.]

[[...The hell.

...no, no he'd seen weirder.]]

Thanks

[[He thinks.]]

[reckless_fire]

Yeah, that's definitely worth celebrating.

[shiromadoushi]

Big time.

You game? Fun Central. 15 minutes.

Action

[icy_heavens]

[Toushirou? Doesn't give a damn about the message on the network. Celebrating the end of school, blah, blah, whatever. They can have their fun. He's not into it.

[He's in this part of town for other reasons; thanks to Granny's occasionally ill health and his own responsible attitude, he tends to get around more freely than most kids his age. The arcade holds no interest for him, but he has to pass by it on the way to his real destination. He's not exactly paying attention to the building or the people heading into it. Because why should he care?]

Action

[shiromadoushi]

[[You should pay better attention, Toushirou, since there's a very enthusiastic Bakura closing in on your position to get you in a headlock!]]

[Lyall is just chinhandsing over here at the kids. It's nice that they're hanging out, outside of the Numbers Club. He'll have to set up a group thing for them all, at school, during finals week....]

You guys have fun :)

Not gonna nag about studying?

[action]

[peacefulwinter]

[Winter isn't sure why she's downtown; she certainly didn't have the self-assertion to say she wanted to come, but she's made her way to the arcade all the same. So she's timidly standing near the entrance, looking inside like she's lost and looking for something.]

[action]

[shiromadoushi]

[[Not too far from the entry is the rather visible figure of Bakura with his poof of white hair and nerdy t-shirt of the day. He's also sitting next to an open box of pizza and looking around for familiar faces. Doesn't know yours yet, Winter, but the signs all point to this guy as the one who sent the invitation. Will you approach? ]]

Right now? I'm SO ready to blow off some steam.

[text | computer]

[shiromadoushi]

Yep! It'll take me 15 min to get there, so unless you're closer than I am, head out now and we'll meet up!

[handwritten]

[darkhourdear]

[oh oh pick him!]

I want to come! But I can't stay that late.

[handwritten]

[shiromadoushi]

[[Oh, handwriting! One moment, he'll swap to paper for this]]

Stay as long as you can, then! [[Have a small quick doodled tapir on top of an arcade machine alongside that. Just because.]]

[Texted]

[espigeonage]

Lol, I remember this kind of thing. You're making me feel old, gameboy.

[Texted]

[shiromadoushi]

One way to fix that!

[[Come and play with the kids, Julian! You're never too old for that!]]

[ For once, Adrian is in a relatively good mood. He met a lot of friendly people at work today and he's on a high ]

I'm too old to remember school, how does that feeling go again when it's the last week? ;)

[shiromadoushi]

How can you be too old to remember school, even my grandfather remembers school and he's ancient! [read: 60]

[Kurt doesn't even really like arcades. He plays plenty of video games, but he prefers long, involved stories with no co-op mode. But at least he knows some people he thinks are okay will be there and it always makes his parents happy if he socializes a little. And he likes pizza.

And so he's opted to station himself at the nearest stupid, gory gun game. He's terrible at it, but it's mildly amusing and on the off chance he hits a zombie, the explosion is kind of satisfying.]

[Action]

[shiromadoushi]

[[Bakura makes his way over once he spots his friend, picking up the 2nd gun of the game and sliding his token in]] Player two, reporting in to cover your ass~! [[He announces cheerfully, slapping the button.]]

text and action

[not_good_not_wicked]

The siren call of free pizza compels me!

[Of course, Marisa doesn't really know many people at her new school, but that didn't stop her from barging in on the party like she owned the place. She even considered "borrowing" some of her mom's liquor, but decided to wait until she knew people around her a little better, and instead showed up with a two liter of coke, a bag of chips, and a bag of quarters. Time to meet some of these network people face to face!

Eventually, she finds herself drawn to the games. Particularly, an obscure shooter game about psychics shooting lasers and dodging intricate patterns of bullets. Something about it calls to her soul.]

[shiromadoushi]

[[a good idea not to bring the booze, since it was a public arcade and that would have gone down so poorly with the staff and made a wonderful first impression with the more straight laced of the gang.

If/when she heads for the pizza, Bakura will give a wave]]

Answering the invitation?

Who'd say no to 'free pizza' and games? Where is this taking place?

The arcade at Fun Central. Know where it is?
