[Welcome to the Emporium, an arcade bar that Minako and Sakura have decided to host their joint birthday party at! Come on in and have some fun playing games, eating junk food, and just hanging out with the birthday girls (and guy, if he decides to come).
There are, of course, the numerous arcade games that the place is known for, ranging from the old school 2v2 fighters to the shooting gallery kinds. But there are a smattering of other games as well, like DDR, darts, mini hoops, skeeball, and the pool table, too. There's also a wall of crane games in the back, with plenty of random and mostly cute prizes to win.
Make a stop by the purikura booth if you have time. Make some duck lips at the camera and then take the snaps home! (Or give them to the birthday girls for the memories.)
Oh, and be sure to exchange your money for tokens before you play all these games. The token machine seems kind of finicky, though. Maybe a strong (and hopefully discrete?) kick will help jumpstart it.
Walk to the dining area, and there'll be a feast waiting you! The arcade is providing a ton of pizza and wings, as well as alcohol, if you can show your ID. For dessert, there's the cake that Shuji made for the girls, as well as Minako's lemon tea cakes. Those are limited supply, though, so snag one before everyone eats it up.
Next to the dining area, there's a big sign that says "DUNK TANK OUTSIDE". Maybe take a look? Just be reaaaally sure you want to climb in before you do it, though. The towels provided by the arcade are pretty small.
And finally, if you need a break from the chaos, there's a couple of couches on the second floor. Take a load off and watch from above.]

She'll be at the purikura booth for sure, wanting to take pictures with anyone who's willing to let themselves dragged in. And if they're unwilling, well. She has some pretty lethal puppy dog eyes.]
Pleeease? It'll only take five minutes, I promise! You don't even have to decorate with me at the end if you don't want to! [Pause.] But I do reserve the right to give you cat ears and mustaches on the pictures if you leave.
[She can also be found at the dining area, happily working through half a 12" pizza by herself, the remains of half a dozen chicken wings already sitting on her plate. Her wrists are still red and raw from the tattoos she got earlier that day: on her right, a dragon that looks like her Persona Seth in miniature, his body and tail elongated to wrap around, and shards of blue around his head. On her left, a bright sunflower, with vines and leaves wrapping around as well.
Once she's had a little bit (read: a fair bit) of alcohol in her, she'll also break out a game she brought from home: a spherical shock ball for a few rounds of Hot Potato Categories. Minako inserts the pin into the sphere and grins.]
Category is...cake or cupcake flavors! [Unfair disadvantage, much?] I'll start with red velvet. [And she tosses it to another person.] Your turn!
[Sometime later, she'll be upstairs sitting on the couches, watching everyone having fun below with a small, somewhat complicated smile on her face.]
...dunno if I could die happy right now. But I'd say I'm pretty close to it.
[Finally, she'll be wandering around the whole arcade, so any wildcard prompts are welcome!]
no subject
But there's something more important that the heiress has noticed, giving a long glance at the birthday girl's wrists as they head inside.]
Tattoos, Minako? I never would have expected that.

...this time, though, she made eye contact with her friend while she was standing next to the photo booth. And she knew about the OHKO puppy eyes exceptionally well already.
No wiggling out of this one. With only a slight stiffening of her shoulders, Lucy crossed over to Minako.]

WILDCARD yeyeahh
[He offers her a box decorated in pink wrapper. It's got a cooking book inside! Nanashi didn't even know what to give her. Took him a long time to decide on something, but he's happy with the end result. Anyone can use a cook book. Minako did say that she liked eating too. Nanashi smiles brightly at that. ]
You can open it now if you like!! Hope it's to your liking.

Is this her gift. Maybe it is. ]
Even if you were happy enough to die, I'm certain there'd be many others who would be very upset... despite your peace. [ Only slightly chiding. ] Happy birthday, Minako. Well... A belated one, I suppose.

couches
Hearing her say something to the effect of dying as she approaches though, makes her worry. Just a little, given that she knows Minako's had a rough time of things lately. So, she drops down on the couch wordlessly and snuggles up before plopping a rather large and soft package in her lap.]
Happy birthday, you.

[Boy, his arm sure needed to be twisted for that! But no, he loves purikura and he is 110% here for silly pictures and ridiculous decorations...
That said:]
After we're done, I have something for you, though!

Of course, it has 'happy birthday' in icing on top. Shuji's only going to have a tiny piece for himself, but he's definitely glowing with pride whenever someone comments.
One can't hang out in the dining area the entire time, of course, so Shuji spends some time at DDR. ...He's really bad at DDR and doesn't have much of a sense of rhythm.]
This machine mocks me. Do you think it's even counting the inputs right?
[No, he's just Bad.
And finally: as fun as this is, he does need to take a break from crowds and lights and noise, so he can be found on one of the upstairs couches. Playing idol games on his phone.]
no subject
but oddly enough sena's not in the mood to berate the guy. in fact, he's throwing a curious side glance at the game shuji is playing until he's all but looking over his shoulder, watching him intently. yeah, isn't this distracting. ]

Want to get your ass kicked by an eight-year-old at a fighting arcade game? Too bad, because he's unfairly good at this for a kid.
Want to get dunked into a dunk tank? Shinji will make sure no one in the tank goes un-dunked. And will laugh.
Want to help him kick the token machine? He doesn't have the leg strength to provide real percussive maintenance, but he keeps kicking it anyway...]
token machine!
after watching for maybe a minute, he walks up to shinji with a cup full of tokens that odasaku no longer has a use for. ]
Take these.

and because shuji dragged him. and if he hadn’t ended up agreeing in the end, he’s quite sure that his friend would have carried him all the way there, and odasaku would have been too frozen to protest. and that’s how he finds himself in the arcade, in some of his nicer clothes ( a dress shirt and pants ), his stubble shaved and hair brushed back.
he did bring a gift for sakura, though! a copy of the grimm fairytales that he’s read dozens of times, but can never get enough of. it hurts a little to let go of one of his books, but he hopes that she loves it.
and if she doesn’t, he only hopes that she doesn’t tell him about it when she throws it in the trash.
for the most part, though, he’ll be hovering between three places: the crane machines where he’ll be trying to get some prizes for both birthday girls, outside smoking his stress away, and on the couch, sipping his drink quietly. ]
couch
[Shuji plops onto the couch next to him.]
The food's good, Sakura's happy to see you, you look great, things are fine.

He can be found (dressed in a dark green, long-sleeved Henley and black jeans with white sneakers) stuffing his face with cake, pizza, and wings in the dining area, trying his hand at the old school arcade cabinets, trying to win a prize for his friends at the crane game (he looks so into it that he might jump if spoken to), and also at the purikura booth taking silly photos with whoever wants to join.
Eventually he’ll wander upstairs to chill on one of the couches and observe the party from above.]
I’m so glad I got to come!

At the crane games, May is slipping in token after token, bound and determined to get one of two things; either the cute as fuck pink dolphin plushie in there, or the equally adorable cat. If she got the dolphin, it was hers. If she got the cat, it was going to Sakura to be sure. But so far, no luck, and she was starting to get frustrated...
At the pool table, a few drinks in at this point, isn't having any better a time. Though one could swear there was something... odd, about the way she was failing. Oh well. She'd probably chalk up an easy win, right? Play at your own risk, marks...
At the food table, she's having *another* drink, but also snatching up one of those lemon tea cakes. Minako's baking was always fantastic and she wasn't about to miss a chance to snatch one up, even if, well, you were already going for it. Fast hands of a pick pocket, and all.
Or anywhere around the bar, really! But hopefully someone is around to keep May from making some really poor decisions she'd invariably regret while sober...-

[Minako is heading over with her arms wide open, a similar pink glow to her face and a glass of something very pink and probably very alcoholic in one hand.]

And hey, arcade games? Those are his favorite kind of games. He's especially good at the ones that need skill instead of luck, like DDR, which is probably where you'll find him for a good chunk of the time. He'll try his hand at other things, but dancing always seems to be what he keeps coming back to.
Later on, he'll end up near the food. Or rather, near the amazing cake, guzzling water from his earlier exercise and enjoying all the sweets he can get his hands on. Maybe he'll end up sitting next to you? There's definitely a lot more people here that he knows than he thought there'd be.]

Though rest assured, she's having a lot of fun. This is thankfully nothing like the disaster that was the Mayor handing her a medal in front of the entire city. Not only is it her first time in an AMERICAN arcade, but half of these games she's never played. Like look at this shooting game! ... Look at Sakura destroy everything in front of her because her aim is so on-point.
Look at Sakura smile because this is clearly the smile of the innocent, folks.]
Would you like to try with me? Best two out of three.
[8)!!]
[Though after she's done collecting the souls of the defeated, she'll frequent the pool table (just to observe, she's never played, and she might puppy eyes at someone until they teach her), and towards the end of the celebration, can be found relaxing on one of the many couches, slouched into the cushions like she's ready to take a nap. There's a wide, happy smile on her face, but oof. Her poor introverted mess of a brain cannot keep up with you guys.
-- but to anyone who might be nearby, she'll tilt her head in their direction]
Thank you for coming. I hope you had fun.
couches
[Says Howard, coming up to sit next to her on the couch, hands folding politely in his lap as he places his gift to his side.]
[His smile widens ever so slightly, giving him a fond look.]

She is disgustingly good at the crane game, though; somehow, she's figured out how to pinpoint the prizes that aren't packed in so tightly. Since she has no use for them, however, she's offering her services to anyone who seems to be eyeing the machines. Since she's already won at least three stuffed animals, including a blue frog and a strange lightbulb shaped character from a movie franchise that needs to die already.]
Do you want something? I'll tell you if it's something I can get.
[If not exploiting the exploitative system of rigged arcade prize machines, catch her at the pool table, compulsively chalking a pool cue before each shot. She seems to be practicing or playing by herself right now, but she could probably be convinced to rack up and play a game with someone pretty easily.
Alternatively, lemon is a personal favorite baked good flavoring, so you might catch her guiltily and greedily going back for a second lemon tea cake as the supplies are dwindling.
A significant of her time will be spent on the couches upstairs, though, where she alternates water and light alcoholic beverages. This is the boring option where you can come wildcard it up or just chat free of distractions.]

So in the spirit of things, he's open to challenges at arcade games, even if he even admits that he's "rusty as hell" with fighting games - cooperative action games seem to be okay, though. Actually he seems to be doing pretty damn well in a Time Crisis-type game, getting fully into it before he turns to the people behind him and flashes a trademark dimpled grin. ]
Let's go!
[ After a few rounds of games, he does head upstairs to the couches, relaxing for a little bit with a drink and watching everyone below before heading back down to the festivities - though he's not opposed to some casual conversation while up there.
Somehow, though, he's being shoved outside to the dunk tank, probably after a few drinks that get him at least a little more reckless. Granted, it's not a bad view, either.
Once he's dried off, though, he'll be hovering around and checking up on Minako, sometimes giving her a small kiss on the cheek or the top of her head before moving on - feel free to confront him on that if you were ever curious about her mysterious boyfriend.
Otherwise, he'll probably be checking things out throughout the night - wildcard prompts are more than welcome! ]

But either way, she's ghosting around the rest of the arcade, trying out some other games. She's mostly doing it for the novelty, self-aware of the fact that she's one of the oldest people here... Which probably makes it doubly silly that she's eager to see who is in the dunk tank to maybe drop them on in.
But a fair bit of time has to be spent up on the couches, nursing a drink she seems to be only distantly aware of (she's not bothered to take any cake) and pinching the bridge of her nose. She might be seen popping an aspirin. In the dim lighting of this arcade she's alternating between wearing and not wearing her now-trademark sunglasses.
She does have two little gifts for both of the birthday girls though. And generally she's just around the whole time if you want to accost her or have fun. Or have her accost you. She also plays a pretty solid pool game. ]

It's quite surprising to see you at such a fresh, young-faced party. [ haha. ] Though I heard from Minako a few weeks ago that you're actually quite familiar with each other...
[ She's kind of glad. It's always nice when friends know each other. BUT FOR NOW— ]
Are you waiting for an opponent?

In any case, he considers himself a friend of the family and a (poor) substitute for her father's presence.
Some of his time is spent over by the arcade. He would point at a few of the machines and ask: ] Is that Pac-Man? [ Even though, the name of the game is right on the machine itself. He will non-seriously argue with people about how every game is Pac-Man.
And he spend some time by the dunk tank. It was initially something that he just acknowledged before realizing that he wouldn't have to talk to anyone if he were to be the hapless victim sitting on it. Fantastic. ] Welcome. [ He would greet those that came by. ] If you need incentive on hitting the target, I am more than happy to provide. [ He may heckle the people some.
And he finds he is more comfortable leaning against the wall than sitting on the couches. He watches the part and people carefully, thoughtfully. It really does seem like Sakura has many friends -- well, her and Minako. This should make both feel loved and less lonely in the world that may occasionally feel like it is going mad. Aloud, he comments: ]
In any case, there is something to be said about fesriviites. But not all of what I can say about them should be repeated in front of delicate ears.
[ And any wildcard prompt that anyone wants with him. ]

[Atsushi can’t help but laugh. He hadn’t expected Kei to show up at all, but here he is, being his usual self. If only all the games were Pac-Man. That one is one of Atsushi’s favorites, actually!]
Have you tried any of the games yet? The duck hunting one sounds fun!

tricked intoconvinced to come here by Minako, who somehow forgot to mention it's for a party.As such, there's now one man standing in the middle of the arcade, his right arm hanging limply at his side and right eye permanently closed, looking very, very confused.]
... It's a trap, isn't it.
[Too late to escape now. The only thing that makes him feel marginally better about this turn of events is that he probably won't have to lift the arcade machines after all.
But hey, since he's already here, there's no reason not to try and have some fun. Normally Ragna seems opposed to any sort of amusement, but after spending a few days doing nothing in his room he's kind of bored. However, it soon turns out playing the arcade games is a lot more difficult when one can only use one hand, and one they're not particularly good with at that. He seems to take offense to the games proving him that and is stubborn to keep trying in a futile attempt to prove them wrong.
If asked about this apparent insanity, though, he's got an explanation that sounds slightly less ridiculous in his head:]
It's a handicap. It'd be too easy otherwise.
[And don't you dare question it.
Unsurprisingly, that doesn't work out too well for him and eventually, Ragna is forced to admit defeat (at least for the time being). Instead, he moves on to the dining area, because nothing could possibly go wrong with free food. Or so he thought, but is soon forced to reconsider that as cutting a slice of pizza with his left hand proves to be more than just a minor setback. In fact, it's quite a struggle.]
Come the fuck on, it can't be this hard!
[Send help or he'll start drinking on empty stomach.
Alternatively, hit him up with a wildcard option!]

Hi Ragna! Glad you could make it!

He can be found at several areas around the party. Byakuya spends some time by the food, feasting on pizza and wings, while keeping an eye on others to make sure everyone is eating their fill. He'll also be quick to secure himself a slice of cake when the time comes!
Aside from that, he mostly hangs out around the arcade/crane games, checking out the selection and occasionally trying his hand at some games. Cheer him on, or challenge him? Or try to drag him into the purikura booth...]
food
Oh, Byakuya-san! You made it!
[She'll count this as a good distraction. Better to be a little hungry than rude, and smiling, she'll steal a seat next to him]
