Week 3: Sleepover with Karaoke!

[latebluemer]

[The weekend is ever-creeping towards them, which means it's time for another gathering -- this time in the newly-accessible second floor, which comes with some of the amenities of the first but better. The soft room is pretty much ideal for this sort of thing, and if there are any windows someone's probably hung a blanket against the void.

Extra kotatsu from long-ago sleepovers have been brought up, there are snacks and drinks scattered amongst the endless blanket nests and pillow forts, and karaoke and the animal cafe are just next door. They can choose to head out for those attractions or bring in the pet animals of the cafe if they'd like. Anything is possible if you believe.]

NEVER HAVE I EVER... UM... PLAYED THOSE THINGS IN THE ARCADE?

[thejusticewagon]

Seriously, what are those?

[duskhound]

...I mean, I first tried them yesterday, but...

[Continues drinking her sugary drink, because of course she does.]

They're games, more or less. The graphics don't really compare to VR, but they're interesting anyways?

[thejusticewagon]

Oh, are they like the games on the tablet?

...

I don't know what VR is either, ssso....

[duskhound]

They are, but they're on a bigger screen and have special controllers.

As for VR... Think about it like a giant training ground that controls all of your senses to make you feel like you're on a battlefield, without any of the danger.

[He considers, then he drinks]

They're video games... they're uhm, a kind of entertainment device - like playing a board game but way more complicated.

[thejusticewagon]

Ohhh, I see. Now I kinda wanna check 'em out... I do like the stuff on the tablet.

[wrongtiming]

[immediately drinks]

[resortghosts]

[!

FINALLY THE HOT CHOCOLATE GETS DRUNK.]

[dereban]

Maybe you should get someone to teach you how to play the games there, then.

[ drinks to this tho ]

[thejusticewagon]

Oh, I should... They do look pretty fun.

[dereban]

I can help you if someone else doesn't beat me to it, if you'd like?

[purrtagonist]

[JUST SIGHS DEEPLY AND SIPS COFFEE AGAIN

[13thpromise]

They're fun video games you can play except on a larger machine than a DS or computer.

[ His first sipping ]

[thejusticewagon]

Oh, okay! Video games. I get that, I think. I'm gonna have to check 'em out sometime! Can more than one person play?

[13thpromise]

Yeah, definitely. There's a lot games in the arcade that you can play with more than one person.

[ He'll smile a little. ]

You should play some with me, I can teach you how they work.

[latebluemer]

[Finally, some pipin’ hot tea.]

They’re pretty retro by now... but we still had them.

[thejusticewagon]

Aw, man, so even all this crazy stuff that's beyond me is old news for you? Man, how do we get an industrial revolution going back home?

[delusive]

They're just another form of games.

Technically I've never played them much before this place.

[thejusticewagon]

Man, I hope we manage to make our way to getting stuff like this soonish. They all seem cool and good.

shh dont ask

[maskarang]

[ unsurprisingly, no sip taking here. ]

[jumpedtheshark]

They're arcade machines. I really need to introduce you to video games, Cynthia-san.

[A sip of her drink.]

Jojo's Bizarre Adventure has gotten a few video game adaptions... I think one was released as an arcade game? Maybe they have it in the arcade? It's kinda old though...

[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Heritage for the Future... Tsumugi doesn't want to spoil Cynthia for Stardust Crusaders though... ]

[thejusticewagon]

Ah, really? So you get to master the Ripple and fight Dio?

[oh no she's still in the first arc...]

[diesifkilled]

Does it count if I've played on a console, but not a cabinet?

[thejusticewagon]

...I haven't done either and I don't really know the terminology, so I guess it counts?

[enter_the_darkness]

[ Trying them here counts... he guesses. ]
