[ she has never seen an arcade before she got here so there's a high, high chance she will have wandered back here to have another look around the place. ]

Hello.

I'm just looking around. It's... quite a lot, isn't it? This place.

im going to throw gmail out the window i never got this notif

[dawnblushed]

It really is. I don't understand most of the things in here.

[wtf is a video game]

britt just doesn't love me :pensive:

[chanteuser]

I... [ hm ] I've never played them before but I know what they are, to a point? Maybe not how to play them though.

BECKS NO

[dawnblushed]

What are they, anyway?

:pensive:

[chanteuser]

Games, mostly? I think. I haven't seen any where I live so I couldn't give specifics.

[dawnblushed]

They definitely don't look like any games I've seen before...

[hm, indeed.]

[chanteuser]

Some of them I've heard of, but not in this format? Like, uh-- [ she points over at the basketball one ] That one you can play in ways that aren't attached to a machine?

[dawnblushed]

[she just kind of stares at the basketball game]

...what's the point of it?

[chanteuser]

You take a ball and throw it through the hoop. I guess normally you win prizes, on a game like this?

[ but, uh.... this isn't the most normal of situations so. ]

[dawnblushed]

...I guess it could be good practice for aiming a throw...

[the basketballs look a little clunky, though.]

[chanteuser]

Normally it's a proper game with teams and a court. But... I don't know the rules at all, other than you throw the ball so it goes through the hoop.

[dawnblushed]

...maybe we can figure it out! Do you want to try?

[chanteuser]

Okay!

[ she will grab one of the balls and squint between in and the hoop. lifting the ball above her head, she throws it and----


--- it hits the metal ring and bounces off. ]

-- Ah.

[dawnblushed]

Oh... it was close, though.

[she'll try! grabbing the ball, and...




no her throw misses it entirely. hm.]

[chanteuser]

It's definitely tougher than it looks, huh?

[dawnblushed]

I'm going to master it.

[she REFUSES to be beaten by a stupid hoop game.

time to yeet another basketball.]

[chanteuser]

[ alex applauds politely at her determination ]

[dawnblushed]

[scoring a basket is much easier said than done. yona offers the ball to alex when it bounces back.]

You try... you were pretty close to making it last time.

[chanteuser]

That might've been my own version of beginner's luck. I'll give it another try though.

[ she aims! she shoots!!!


she bounces off the rim again!! ]

-- Ah.

[dawnblushed]

That was still really close!

[chanteuser]

I still think it’s beginner’s luck, but... uh. I’m trying to pull my aim back a bit, so I don’t over shoot it? The basket’s closer than it probably seems.

...

Still, I keep just missing so maybe I’m just talking nonsense.

[dawnblushed]

Oh, I'll try it that way...

[this time, her throw just falls short]

[chanteuser]

You almost had it!

[dawnblushed]

I'll get it next time!

[YEETS



wow i rolled a 20. she makes a basket by yeeting. amazing.]

[chanteuser]

[ WILD APPLAUSE!!! ]

You did it!
