Hibiki
Hibiki bought the Arcade
Welcome! Someone mentioned we have a lot of food places, so I decided it would be nice if we had more variety. As such, I found out there was an arcade near Metis’ place, so I decided I’d take ownership of it (through questionable but still legal means)! So come on in, let’s have some fun! Please! (I want your money!)
-LightningFarron-
OOC: bookmarking for lore purposes
Hibiki
Oh, and please do me a favor and leave your supernatural abilities or whatever at the door! I would like it if this place does not blow up!
Mako-chan
So you have an arcade?
RobowaifuAigis
Interesting.
Mona
Do you have Gun About?
Hibiki
Well, duh Gun About is here. It's near the back.
Hibiki
and yes Mako-chan, I have an arcade now, welcome!
Kotone Shiomi
Why an arcade and not an amusement park?
Hibiki
@Kotone Shiomi: Why not an amusement park... How much money do you think I have...
Sportacus
Please refrain from playing games for longer than an hour a day. Take breaks and exercise.
Kotone Shiomi
@Sportacus You arent my mom.
@Hibiki A gal can dream
Hibiki
Tell ya what, start spending a bunch of money here and eventually maybe I'll have the cash to buy Dome Town.
Kotone Shiomi
I'll try my bestest.
Sportacus
@Kotone Shiomi it is important to respect all authoritive entities as if they were your parents
Hibiki
@Sportacus: This is my arcade, I'm the authority here. Kotone, ignore him and play as much as you want.
Sportacus
@Hibiki since you are in charge, I won't argue with your orders. But, remember, children's health can sometimes be a little more important than profit.
hazama
Those uh, "questionable but legal" means frighten me just a bit.
Tatsuya
Hibiki if anything blows up I'll have the cleaning Gods fix it. Yes that's a thing I can do.
Mao
Can I get a job?
Tatsuya
Kotone is like 20 something though. She's hardly a kid. Then again if a 15 year old can keep Pace with me I treat em like all my other my friends!
Hibiki
Don't worry about it @hazama, nothing wrong here.

@Tatsuya... We have.... cleaning Gods?

@Mao, don't you already work at Metis' place? How many jobs do you need?
Mao
@Hibiki it's in my job description to have jobs, I want as many jobs as possible!
Tatsuya
Screw it yeah we do here's the number. Tell em to take the money from my account. *He hands Hibiki a phone number written down* They also do repairs to all done instantly​?
Hibiki
Your job is to have... jobs? That seems like a hassle Mao.
Hibiki
The Cleaning Gods... have a phone number...?
Tatsuya
Yes okay it's weird I know. It was payment for a job from a real freak. I was just glad to get something useful for once.
Hibiki
I'm starting to figure out why people consider me "normal".
Tatsuya
I'm a demon Hunter who tosses mental images of gods around like they're toys. Yeah you are the normal one Hibiki.
Hibiki
Are arcades supposed to seem so lifeless?
3xcal1bur
I'm here to play some gaaaaaaems
Tatsuya
Okay Cal what do you wanna play?
3xcal1bur
P A C M A N

*waka wakas to the pacman machine*
Tatsuya
Hmm Pacman eh? Old school I like it.

LuxTenebris
What kind of games do you have here, owner?
Hibiki
Indeed. Quite retro.
Hibiki
@LuxTenebris: Honestly it would be easier for you to go take a gander at what's here than stand here while I pretend I actually know.
3xcal1bur
{••} ___________(o< •••• %
LuxTenebris
Retro? I'm not that old...Oh, you meant the games.
Tatsuya
Oh hey Lux what's up? Care to play a game?
3xcal1bur
{••}!!!_______>ó)
LuxTenebris
I don't know a lot of these games seem a bit violent. Ugh...why do humans fantasize killing each other or monsters?
LuxTenebris
Oh, Tatsuya didn't notice you. Your red hair blended right in with the colorful arcade machines.
3xcal1bur

[[{**}]]
Tatsuya
Well I bet there's a dancing game or something around here. You could watch me fail horribly.
3xcal1bur
DANCE TATSUYA
D A N C E
3xcal1bur
Also somebody appreciate my pacman emojis
Tatsuya
OOC: Holy crap they are. That is actually kinda cool.
LuxTenebris
Never, mostly because I have no idea what these emojis you speak of are.
3xcal1bur
@LuxTenebris
Emojis are drawings you make by typing. Like this
: )
Do you see how that kind of resembles a smiling face?
Hibiki
Yeah there's not just violent stuff here. Trust me, I checked to make sure there was at least one music game. I'm not buying an arcade if it doesn't have a music game.
3xcal1bur
DANCE TATSUYA DANNNNCCCCEEEE
LuxTenebris
Music is nice, I think, never paid much attention to it. I've been...preoccupied for most of my...life.
Tatsuya
Well I'm an awful dancer. Mind if I cheat with magic? I won't if you don't want me to.
Hibiki
What part of "Leave your supernatural powers at the door" did you miss Tatsuya?
3xcal1bur
@Tatsuya
Nah man no magic. Also I'll go after you, so don't worry about being laughed at.
LuxTenebris
Oh, I can help, my Persona nulls all magic!
Tatsuya
I gave you free instant repairs forever Hibiki.
3xcal1bur
No magic y'all just dancing
Tatsuya
Aww man I'm awful at this without​ buffs.
Tatsuya
Fine then prepare to watch a middle aged man flail like an idiot!
3xcal1bur
@Tatsuya
Man I'm bad at dancing WITH buffs so stop whining and start dancing!
LuxTenebris
Well, I think I could be good...I have a lot of stamina.
Tatsuya
Okay so what kinda songs we got?
3xcal1bur
Take on me, American idiot, don't stop me now,
Hibiki
Free repairs or not, rules are rules. I literally wrote it on the door.
Tatsuya
American Idiot by Green Day? Also fine Hibiki I get it. *Tatsuya mutters about normals*
3xcal1bur
Ooh do "Rasputin!"

3xcal1bur
@Tatsuya
Yeah by Green Day
You wanna do that one?

LuxTenebris
This is a strange language you guys are speaking.
Tatsuya
Okay fine let's go. *Tatsuya starts up the song... And proceeds to flail like an idiot missing everything. His face is totally focused*
3xcal1bur
@LuxTenebris
Wait until you hear people talking about TV shows.
LuxTenebris
*Lux matches the beat perfectly somehow but is barely trying, almost as if he's a dancing machine*
I don't get it, is this supposed to be hard?
3xcal1bur
@Tatsuya
*holding in laughter*
Niiice moves man
*ADJEJVRJEJ*
Tatsuya
*Tatsuya somehow trips over himself and falls down... Then stands back up still totally focused*
LuxTenebris
*Lux stops and just stares*
Pfft! Sorry, I give up, you win.
Tatsuya
*Tatsuya hangs his head in shame* See this is why I normally use Agility buffs till I'm about to die. Then I'm passable. Also no I lost horribly. Go on Cal your turn!
3xcal1bur
Ok
*starts jumping up and down on the dance board*
*im hitting the buttons so much that I'm actually hitting some*
*actually in just missing most of it*
*RA RA RASPUTIN LOVER OF THE RUSSIAN QUEEN*
3xcal1bur
*trips and careens to the side*
AAAA
LuxTenebris
I don't understand how you hum-I mean, guys are messing up so bad.
3xcal1bur
*Still trying to hit points, I just spin.
Just
Spinning*
3xcal1bur
*it is futile.*
3xcal1bur
THIS IS ATHELTICISM

Mao
Do you have this game in your arcade?

Cal you are slightly better than me.

@Mao

3xcal1bur
FUCK MY HEAD
DID I GET POINTS FOR THAT
*falls backward*
3xcal1bur
@Mao now it worked
And I think so
Probably
AdachiImouto
Arcade... My territory...

*walks in wearing a disguise, ie a Bullet Club hat and lenseless glasses she rushes to a GrazeBlue machine*
Mao
Thanks do you work here?
Tatsuya
*Tatsuya chuckles* I take it back your just as bad Cal. Lux on the other hand does this with no effort.
3xcal1bur
@Tatsuya
We can be team "Bad at DDR"
But wow
Lux is pretty good at this!
Hibiki
("GrazeBlue")

I gotta say, at least owning this place provides entertainment.
LuxTenebris
Well once you identify the algorithm of the notes you can adjust your sensory input to synchronize with the sound waves directly.
Tatsuya
Oh God you use math for it? I am both terrified and very impressed. We can't do such complex calculations on the fly though sadly.
LuxTenebris
Oh...uh...yeah, I'm good at math I guess.
3xcal1bur
I'm almost out of school
math is boring , man.
Tatsuya
I'm decent but not that good. I know a guy who might be able to but he's so standoffish we'll never find out.
Hibiki
Y'all are so bad at this. Maybe consider an easy song?
3xcal1bur
@Hibiki
You try it.
Also my fragile-ass masculinity is too weak to do an easy song.
3xcal1bur
OOC: I actually have never played a dancing game in an arcade so Idk how it works :,,,^)
Tatsuya
Yeah I've been playing for years Hibiki. I can't play without magic.
AdachiImouto
...

oh goddess why is everyone here

*acts natural and moves to Gun About*
3xcal1bur
Maybe we should play an FPS next.
Hibiki
You nerds...
[Hibiki moves over to the dancing game and puts on the last song played again and begins moving on the board. Her movements can hardly be called graceful, but by the end of it, she'd only missed a few beats.]
There, I tried it, happy?

(( I actually have played a dancing game in an arcade. I'm surprisingly decent at any rhythm game really, especially the drum one ))
LuxTenebris
FPS? What does that mean?
3xcal1bur
@Hibiki
Woah good job!
-LightningFarron-
Arcade?

*wanders in wearing a needlessly elegant red dress*
3xcal1bur
FPS= first person shooter
It's a violent game, so you may not like it.
--Morgana--
Wahaha... Nobody expects the Mona~ I'm just gonna see what they got here... *sneakysneak*
LuxTenebris
Why do people need to be so obsessed with guns, they aren't even that useful.
-LightningFarron-
Hello @--Morgana--.
3xcal1bur
@LuxTenebris
Says the person who's weak to them!
It's also a good way to train your reflexes and hand-eye
Coordination
Kazuya
*Walks in*
They are when you want to fight from a distance, Lux.
3xcal1bur
@Kazuya
Sup kaz! Wanna try the dancing game?
Hibiki
Wait, who let the cat in?
Well, I guess pets are allowed. Just make sure it behaves itself.
Kazuya
Hey Cal!
Well...I'm not that good at them, but sure!
3xcal1bur
@Kazuya
Alright, cool. What song do you want?
--Morgana--
@-LightningFarron- Ah! busted... P-please don't throw me out! I totally wasn't trying to go inside the crane game...
LuxTenebris
No one ever said I was weak to guns...
-LightningFarron-
*nods to @Hibiki and follows @--Morgana-- with a blank expression*

What are you doing here @--Morgana--..?
3xcal1bur
@LuxTenebris
It's physical damage though. Or do you just not null it?
-LightningFarron-
Ah I see. Crane game? What is that @--Morgana--?
Kazuya
Let's see...choose one for me, Cal!
I'll do my best no matter what...even if it's the hardest.
AdachiImouto
Evasion successful... Now relocating to Diggin Dig machine. Echo fema delta. *walks awkwardly towards it*
LuxTenebris
I don't null it but bullets don't really hurt for...reasons.
3xcal1bur
@Kazuya
How about this?
Click to load youtube video
LuxTenebris
Wait, I detect some residual energy from Unit 31. Weird, I don't see her in here but I guess it's too faint to actually be her.
Kazuya
OOC: Oh you fucker. @3xcal1bur
LuxTenebris
Not, that I'd even want to run into her right now...
Hibiki
Glad to see business is picking up now.
3xcal1bur
@Kazuya
OOC: my mom plays this record all the time. I know. Every. Word.
3xcal1bur
Anyways, SLAM YOUR BODY DOWN AND WIND IT ALL AROUND
--Morgana--
@-LightningFarron- Umm... I was thinking if I snuck into the crane game I could get something for Princess Nanaka. Or take a nap. It's like, a game where you control a claw to grab a prize.
3xcal1bur
@--Morgana--
You'd fit right in, you look like a plush.
-LightningFarron-
Interesting...would you like a hand @--Morgana--?
3xcal1bur
@Kazuya

Kazuya
That song has a weird name, but I'll try!
*As Kazuya gets on the dancing machine, he notices a karaoke option. Curious, he presses the button and then hits start. When the music start, he barely even tries to hit the notes, he appears to be more interested in the karaoke bit, even going as far as mimicking the girl's voice. All with a big smile on his face*
3xcal1bur
@Kazuya
Wow you're doing good!
And doing a terrifyingly good impression of a British girl???
--Morgana--
@3xcal1bur Yeah... Thanks.

@-LightningFarron- Oohhh, my partner in crime, huh? let's do this~!
3xcal1bur
Jesus Christ kaz is doing karaoke
3xcal1bur
Karaoke kaz??
AdachiImouto
...You would catch me dead dancing and singing.
3xcal1bur
@AdachiImouto
What game were you playing before?
Mao
I can neither dance nor sing
Kazuya
Yeah! That was AWESOME!
Those things are way better than the arcades we had in 1992!
3xcal1bur
@Kazuya
You got a bad score in the dancing but
The singing part is near perfect??? I'm creeped out...
Kazuya
What can I say, Cal?
I'm a man with a golden tongue, and I mean that in many ways!

Eh? I was playing GrazeBlue, Gun About and Diggin Dig. I always come for those.

@AdachiImouto
I would play more GrazeBlue if I was actually good at it. Who do you main?
AdachiImouto
@3xcal1bur
Platinum is my girl, always. *adjusts disguise glasses*
-LightningFarron-
*picks up @--Morgana--*

Led do this.
3xcal1bur
I used to main kakatoto
3xcal1bur
OOC:kakatoto is ripoff totokaka
Tatsuya
*Tatsuya walks in grinning and spots Sayaka* Oh hey Sayaka what's up?
LuxTenebris
That girl playing that game has Unit 31's residual signature on her...
--Morgana--
@-LightningFarron- Onward!! *points towards the crane game like a pirate captain*
AdachiImouto
@3xcal1bur
Most interesting. But can you defeat I, LOI? I own the arcade high score in Akiba.
-LightningFarron-
*walks to the crane game with @--Morgana-- in arms*

So what do we do?
Hibiki
GrazeBlue... I think I played that like... once or twice...
AdachiImouto
@Tatsuya
GEH!

Erm, who is this "Sayaka" you speak of? I am LOI, unofficial GrazeBlue champion! *nervously adjusts glasses*
-Labrys-
*walks in*

Oh hi Sakuya. How are you honey?
Kazuya
*Watches the Tatsuya/Sayaka situation while eating potato chips*
Interesting...
--Morgana--
@-LightningFarron- Well, playing it the right way, you could insert money and try for a prize with the claw. Otherwise, you could put me in the prize cabinet and I do what I do best~
LuxTenebris
Unit 31... Well, I have to go...
*Teleports out*
-Labrys-
Huh?

*tilts head thinking I heard my designation*
Tatsuya
Umm Sayaka Adachi? IE you. I can tell it's you. I'm 37 Sayaka not old enough to be senile yet.
AdachiImouto
@-Labrys-
It's not Sakuya, dear, it's Sayaka. Is my name really that diffi-

...Oh. Oh shit.

I-I'm not an otaku! I'm on.. Detective duties! Yeah, that's it!
Mao
Learn to respect your elders
Kazuya
Elders like Mao, he's a grandpa!
-Labrys-
OOC: sorry. It auto corrects it to Sakuya. Lol

*hugs @AdachiImouto*

Youre so cute darling~!
-LightningFarron-
*nods and slides @--Morgana-- into the chute*

*proceeds to insert money to start game*

*whispers* to not arouse suspicion...
Tatsuya
I'm 37 and I just got done being awful.at DDR. I think a high schooler can hang out at a arcade without being emabarrsed if I can.
Mao
I won't even argue with being called grandpa
Kazuya
Hey Tatsu! Wanna play in the dancing machine?
--Morgana--
@-LightningFarron- Mission start~ *stealthily slides up into the plushie pile, digging under them and popping up to grab onto a plushie, now waiting lifelessly to be grabbed*
RobowaifuAigis
Oooooooo
So they do have Fantasy Zone
*sits down and starts playing*
AdachiImouto
@-Labrys-
E-Ehh? I am...? *blushes and hugs* as long as you don't think I'm weird... Then okay... *smiles*
-LightningFarron-
*skillfully maneuvers the claw to grab @--Morgana-- by his bandana to ensure a good grip and lifts him out*
AdachiImouto
@Tatsuya
Well, people at school will talk if they find me here. I don't need another otaku reputation like in Hokkaido...
-Labrys-
*holds @AdachiImouto's shoulders*

I love it dear. Can I come over tonight? I need a break from sis and her narrator...Aigis and Bluey are my neighbors.
--Morgana--
@-LightningFarron- !? *allows himself to be grabbed despite the discomfort, still acting like a plushie and landing in the prize compartment with a thud*
Tatsuya
Let em talk. So what if assholes think less of you just means they're saying up front they aren't​ worth your time. People who's opinions are worth caring about won't be bothered by something so small.
Hibiki
Really you weren't fooling anyone with that disguise. Try harder next time.
AdachiImouto
@-Labrys-
That can't be easy... Of course you can come home with me, though. I don't think I ever showed you my room before... *blushes*
-LightningFarron-
*takes @--Morgana-- and the plushie he was holding out and holds in my arms*

Sorry. I figured it would beat getting stabbed up by the claw. Did you want me to try normally for more plushies?
Mao
Hokkaido? Hmm I think that's where I was born such a lovely place indeed...
AdachiImouto
@Tatsuya
You're absolutely right... Even then though... I like the undercover feeling.

@Hibiki
My disguise was perfect. You're cheating anyway by being the owner.
-Labrys-
*hugs @AdachiImouto close*

I'm excited to see it. And no worries, I can sleep on the floor or in the corner.

*smiles softly and pkays with your hair*
Tatsuya
I saw past it though. Of course I'm kind if like a dective in my own right. Also yeah disguises can be fun sometimes but don't wear one cause your worried about people finding out you play videogames​. For shits and giggles though is another story.
--Morgana--
@-LightningFarron- Don't worry, alls well that ends well, right? and look what I got! *holds a smaller, black cat plushie* ...Huh? did I grab this subconsciously!?
Hibiki
I cheated by being the owner? How the hell does that work?
AdachiImouto
@Mao
Oh? As was I. I was a city girl though...

@-Labrys-
You absolutely won't sleep in the corner or the floor! I won't allow it. *pouts and hugs* stay with me... We're both girls so it's technically not weird. *giggles*

@Tatsuya
Yeah, I will keep this. I have been doing it for this long, after all.
AdachiImouto
@Hibiki
Security cameras. You see everything...
-Labrys-
*kisses*

Okay~

Mao
@AdachiImouto good to meet a fellow northerner, though there was no city when I was born there.
-LightningFarron-
Looks like it @--Morgana--...

*puts in some more money and deftly claws two plushies??, dropping them in the prize chute*

*pulls them out...its a Jack Frost and Pyro Jack*

Here. Nanaka might like these too.
Hibiki
You'd still be disguised in the security footage Adachi...

Speaking of security cameras, don't think I didn't see that cat get in the crane machine.
--Morgana--
@-LightningFarron- Wow... You're amazing, Lightning! super cool!! are you sure you don't wanna keep one? maybe giving her three would be overdoing it.

@Hibiki You'll never take me alive! *battlestance*
-LightningFarron-
*holds up the Pyro Jack*

I'll take this one...
AdachiImouto
@-Labrys-
*giggles and kisses* If all else fails, I will just be your pillow.

@Mao
Eh? Are you a god or something?

@Hibiki
How do I know Metis isn't rubbing off on you and you installed defense lasers in the cameras?
Hibiki
I can assure you there are no lasers in the cameras. Even if I wanted to install them, I basically opened the place like three minutes after I became the owner.
-Labrys-
*nuzzles the top or @AdachiImouto's head and giggles*

Okay. I'd like that
Mao
Not a god, just a lowly demon
AdachiImouto
@Hibiki
Hm. Fair enough then.

@-Labrys-
Just let me know when you're ready to go, dear. *smiles*
AdachiImouto
@Mao
I like demons. They're like me. Mostly.
-Labrys-
I'm ready whenever you are honey. I'm down for whatever you wanna do!
LordCheesusCrust
*Walks in without knowing what is going on at all because the thread is so long but decides to join anyways.*
LordCheesusCrust
Yo this is a surprise Pizza Party now where do I put the pies?
Hibiki
Hey, besides! She's not rubbing off on me (like that)! I'm not a violent person, gosh!
LordCheesusCrust
*Has been holding Pizzas in the doorway for 10 minutes so puts them on the nearest table and sits down if there is a spare seat hoping to not be ignored.*
-LightningFarron-
Woah. Is that @LordCheesusCrust? May I have a slice dear Lord?
LordCheesusCrust
Yes! Finally! I brought as much as I could and am ready to share my cheesy charity with all who need or want it.
AdachiImouto
@-Labrys-
Well... What do you play? That's why you came, yes? Surely you didn't just sense my presence. Unless you can.

@Hibiki
Wait... Like that...?

@LordCheesusCrust
We have been blessed with a pizza arcade! Bless you!
Hibiki
Y-Your focusing on the unimportant details here Adachi!

Also pizza? Did someone order pizza?
-LightningFarron-
*takes a slice*
.thank you very much @LordCheesusCrust. Youre the best!
-Labrys-
@AdachiImouto I play alota Border Break...sorrttaaaa a guilty pleasure.
--Morgana--
@-LightningFarron- Okay! I'm gonna give these two to the princess then! thanks a bunch for being awesome!

@LordCheesusCrust Piiizzaaa! is there anchovies!?
Hibiki
Who is paying for this exactly? Cuz I'm not.
LordCheesusCrust
I require no payment this is purely an act to promote charity and (totally not get my name out there so I have stuff to put on the Wiki page.)
Hibiki
Cool, as long as I'm not paying for it.
-LightningFarron-
@LordCheesusCrust is best lord. I'm down for it.
