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? ]

Alright, let's go then.

[ This unfortunately means he has to let go of Rean, but it was his idea so he does and heads on over. ]

It's still not a casino but I don't mind this arcade thing.

[awakenerd]

[He thinks about holding Crow's hand but .. doesn't. Instead joining in step with him.]

A video game arcade?

[bad_crowmance]

[ Look, hand holding is EMBARRASSING okay. ]

Yeah, I think that's what it's called.

[awakenerd]

Are you enjoying it?

[bad_crowmance]

So far, yeah! There's some shooting games. It works pretty much nothing like real shooting but it's still fun.

[awakenerd]

Of course that's what you gravitated too...

[bad_crowmance]

It was the first thing that caught my eye. What kind would you go for first?

[awakenerd]

Mm. Not sure. You'll have to show me what we've got.

[bad_crowmance]

Sure, that sounds good to me.

[ And then they step into the loud, bright, colourful arcade. ]

[awakenerd]

Oh, nice. This will be great for bonding.

[bad_crowmance]

And it'll be fun on its own, too.

[awakenerd]

Speaking of fun...

[bad_crowmance]

That's always a good topic to speak of.

[awakenerd]

Well, do you think it'd be a good time to bring up a festival with everyone again?

[bad_crowmance]

Actually, I'd say this might even be the best possible time. It'd be a good way to settle in and enjoy things after the recent move.

[awakenerd]

Do you think everyone's up to that?

[bad_crowmance]

I definitely do. Bring it up and I'm sure everyone will be thrilled with the idea.

[awakenerd]

All right.

[bad_crowmance]

Alright.

[ He gestures around. ]

Anyway, this is the arcade... These ones over there-- [ He gestures. ] --look like they're some kind of racing game.

[ Which sounds like fun to him, especially the orbal bike ones. ]

And these ones are the shooting games.

[ Crow has all the top ten scores on those ones if Rean cares to look. ]

And these ones apparently let you pick avatars and fight?

[awakenerd]

They all sound like fun.

....

Would you like to race?

[bad_crowmance]

[ That sparks immediate interest from Crow and he doesn't bother to hide the competitive spark as he grins. ]

You bet I would!

[awakenerd]

Let's do the first one no stakes. I'd like to learn the controls.

[bad_crowmance]

Alright, that's fair. It's more fun if we're on even footing, anyway.

[awakenerd]

It's more satisfying to kick your ass that way, yeah.

[bad_crowmance]

Ha!

[ Crow pounds a fist into his hand, grinning. ]

You wish. Bring it on, pretty boy!
