EVENT: Upgrade!

[trainmasters]

Who: Everyone
When: Day 57, morning
Where: The train!

[ There is a new car attached to the back of the train. You'll have to get past the garden, the gym, and the library to get to... the arcade.

Near the entrance is where you'll find the conveniently-placed machines to get tokens to play any of the arcade games. It seems to be a formality because it doesn't actually cost you any sparks to play the games, but be sure to swing by there before you hit up the games. And what an array there are! Overall, there's two floors filled with various types of games.

There's the crane games, filled with various cute plush versions of monsters you may have faced before (both during your stay on the Aurora and back home) as well as, more rarely-- is that a plush of yourself? Or one of your teammates perhaps, someone you care about on the train. It might be worth trying to pick one up!

Next of course are the video games and there's an array for all kinds of interests-- Rhythm games of all types, fighting games, shooting games, racing games... There's no shortage of different types you can play. Try one out, you might like it!

There's also a variety of purikura photo booths if you and/or a friend would like to try your hand at getting a cute set of sticker photos.

You've got some time to relax for the moment, so why not try it out at the arcade? ]

[voreaciously]

[oh.]

Long enough, I suppose.

[awakenerd]

Long enough for a total landscape change...

[voreaciously]

That is correct.

[awakenerd]

How was it?

[voreaciously]

No one died.

[awakenerd]

That's ... somehow reassuring and alarming at the same time.

[voreaciously]

Is that not what ultimately matters?

[awakenerd]

It's one of the things that matters most, yeah.

[voreaciously]

Then I do not see the cause for alarm.

[awakenerd]

Surviving is great but surviving traumatized is still.... tough. No one wants to arr friends get hurt, in any way. But if it did happen I'd like to know.

[voreaciously]

I suppose that is a fair point.

[she actually concedes that rather easily. huh.]

[awakenerd]

...? Yeah... How are you doing?

[voreaciously]

...Why are you asking me that?

[she doesn't sound cold, distant or hostile, even in that Very Polite way of hers.

Just...curious.]

[awakenerd]

Just... Curious. That's all.

[He's still trying to tread delicately this seems alarmingly unusual.]

[voreaciously]

[................]

...I am fine.

[she isn't being dismissive either.

something must be wrong!]

[awakenerd]

[He's so unsure. It's a trap to pry.]

If... you say so. I heard we have a new arcade?

[voreaciously]

[she exhales very patiently. she can see the awkwardness hanging like a palpable cloud and decides to give him an out]

...Would you rather I speak to someone else?

[not that she really talks to many people but it's more that she can leave his space]

[awakenerd]

Ah...No. I was just going to ask if you wanted to play a game together.

1/2

[voreaciously]

Oh

[uh]

[voreaciously]

Sure?

[that catches her off guard]

[awakenerd]

Were there any you liked or should we go investigate?

[voreaciously]

Investigating seems best, I've not played most really.

[awakenerd]

Let's go check it out.

[voreaciously]

Very well.

[She will head deeper into the arcade, her curiosity getting the better of her as she looks around at the variety of games.]

[awakenerd]

[He joins! looking at each machine with interest. Video games aren't as foreign to him as they might be to other members of his cast at least.]

Do you like rhythm games?
