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? ]

What exactly were they fighting about?

[overworker]

Well... Kyou said something about Crow getting him eaten so I think it must have been about that incident.

[Even now, she can’t exactly forget it either— the monster game they were forced to play.]

[awakenerd]

Not... a great thing to think about while in angry mirror world I bet.

[Not a good thing to think about ever.]

How'd it go from there?

[overworker]

Well... I had to do a bit of yelling, but I was finally able to get through to Crow and pull him out. Tohru helped calm Kyou down.

[awakenerd]

Was that all that happened?

[overworker]

That was the worst of it. At least where I was able to help at all.

[awakenerd]

Okay. Then I guess my next question is .... "issues with gingerbread men"?

[What.]

[overworker]

Right— specifically they attacked us when we departed the train for the first time.

[Speaking of which, girl finally has her orbal gun, so— a few cookie monsters? It’s fine.]

[awakenerd]

... Malicious gingerbread....

You weren't hurt?

[overworker]

Well, it was a tough fight. They didn’t let up for nearly six hours. However, none of my injuries were too serious.

[awakenerd]

That's... a lot, Towa!

[overworker]

You're right, however-- the train didn't have the proper protection set up yet. As someone who knows how to fight... I couldn't just leave them. I just did what I could.

[awakenerd]

I understand that. But have you had a chance to rest?

[overworker]

[That actually gets Towa to laugh.]

Sorry, it's just-- even though you don't remember, you still somehow managed to find one of my bad habits.

[awakenerd]

Is that a fact? I'll keep an eye on you then.

I notice you didn't answer.

[overworker]

[Whoops.]

Y-you really don't have to do that-- I'm fine, I promise!

[awakenerd]

And you rested?

[overworker]

Of course! I'm used to it, so it didn't take long at all.

[In other words: no.]

[awakenerd]

...That doesn't sound like a yes.

[overworker]

It is. [...] Mostly.

[Ahem.]

I'm sure now that things have calmed down a bit, I'll have time to relax a bit more.

[awakenerd]

[Mentally ratcheting up keeping an eye on her...]

Okay. If you're sure. We have a hotspring in Ginger, you're free to use it if you ever need to wind down.

[overworker]

[That catches her off guard.]

R-really? Well if you're sure... That sounds like it would be nice.

[awakenerd]

I'm sure. Just don't come by too late. Rufus gets grumpy if he doesn't get his beauty sleep.

You could invite others too, Eliza or whoever. I'm sure Faito would join.

[overworker]

Of course. I wouldn't want to disturb anyone.

Thanks Rean. Really. It means a lot.

[awakenerd]

Of course. That kind of thing shouldn't be kept alone.
