[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.]

I did say that, didn't I? [ Yes, his father would actually come back from the dead about him making death pacts. Kei had forgotten that part of it. Wait, that means in some way I think Howard would sacrifice himself for me, and need to make some sort of contract to ensure he doesn't.
He leans back, feeling relieved. Impossible. Howard would never do something so foolish. No matter what, he is someone that is held close and loved by others. It would upset a lot of people and once he realizes that, it would be enough for him to hesitate and allow me to die. ] That's right, I did.
Well, I don't need to worry about it, anyway. I was just worrying for nothing.
no subject
[But he's terrible at giving advice. He's terrible at helping as far as words go. That's Kei's strong suit. But the best he can do is listen, at the very least.]
You know...I'm here for you.
no subject
Of course. [ A soft laugh. ] I'll definitely tell you another time about it. I think... yes, I think that you'd be the only person that I can tell. [ Would Howard be horrified about some of the memories' thoughts? Perhaps. But the man is turning into a monster. He smiles as he decides that they can be monsters together. ]
no subject
[He should have red flags waving at that statement, but somehow, he doesn't.]
[Kei has always been there for him. It's only fair that he's here for Kei, if Kei needs him.]
Alright. Just let me know, Kei. [His hand reaches out, awkwardly, his fingers brushing against Kei's shoulder in a semblance of a reassuring gesture.] Just...let me know...
no subject
Sakura is lucky to know you, Howard. [ He lightly pats the man's shoulder before he leans down to pick up the discarded bottle he dropped. ] I'm going on ahead. Thank you for staying with me. But... it's a party, right? Don't spend all your time in the corner with me. [ Another half-chuckle as he goes to find a trashcan and maybe harass children around the arcade games. ]
no subject
[He sighs - if Kei wants to be left alone, then he'll be left alone. Howard will grant him that. But still...]
I like...spending time with you...Just let me know when you want to talk...
[But Kei is already walking away. Howard watches as he does, before turning back to the party. That's fine. For a moment, he got to stay by his side. It's peaceful, in it's own way.]
[Like some dark shadow of an island, in the middle of a raging black ocean...]
