open || ain't no party like a birthday party

WHO: Minako, Sakura, Ragna, and you!
WHERE: One of the arcade bars in the city.
WHEN: March 10th
WHAT: BIRTHDAY PARTY!
WARNINGS: None foreseen! Feel free to threadjack for Minako's Hot Potato Categories game.



[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.]

Sure, step on up.

[ He does a quick rundown of the controls while between rounds - and lets the cutscene play while he's explaining - the story's never important in them anyway. ]

Just make sure not to hit civilians, and shoot outside the screen to reload.

Ready?

[She has to bite back a comment on that method of reloading, but...]

As ready as I will be, I suppose. I'll learn as we go.
negativism: end (A hard resolution that is true to the)

[ Hey, he's just relaying how it works, it's not his fault that's how they decided to do it.

David takes a breath and waits for the last part of the cutscene to wrap up before they're thrown back into the game, multiple enemies popping up from cover before ducking back down - or disappearing from their shots. ]

[Cleo, certified weirdo, is actually holding the gun like it's real, and... She's actually pretty decent? Turns out, getting experience with a real gun seems to make you better at this?]

... Wait, what are we shooting? Are these enemies holograms or something?

[ To be fair, the light guns are shaped like (mostly) regular handguns, so holding it like that actually does help out a bit, even if it's a bit awkward to try and put the second hand under the grip - since that's where the cable that connects it to the cabinet is. ]

Terrorists, I think - most of these games have something like that. But yeah, they're just holograms.

And that's why their corpses vanish?
negativism: (No denying - it goes against the grain)

[personal profile] negativism 2018-03-17 09:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Yup! Plus I'm sure that most people would be kinda turned off if there were just corpses bleeding out and laying there.
