Mingle Post - Game time!

*There seems to be a new room in the Mall. It's a giant game room, filled with tables of all kinds. Many of them look like card tables, though rather than physical cards there are multiple computer terminals - it appears everything is electronic

Mortal Kombat (arcade)

[junpei_iori]

*Well, while waiting for a game partner, Junpei will amuse himself watching Maya hiss at the characters in the demos.*

[death_maid]

Alice heads closer upon hearing said hissing noises, allowing an amused smile at the scene.

"Would you teach me how this works?" She might have learned (sort of) what a TV is, but games are a different story.

[junpei_iori]

Sure! You've never played an arcade game before?

[death_maid]

She coughs, embarrassed.

"The last time someone tried to teach me, I guess I wasn't used to all the noises and lights. They don't exactly mean good things in my world."

Smiles, though. "What is this one about?"

[junpei_iori]

*He looks at her with wide eyes.* ... it's just a game, y'know.

Eh, s'not important. It's about beating each other up.

[death_maid]

"Just that? Is it about winning, as well?" ...why are her eyes sparkling.

Alice, no. "May I play with you?"

[junpei_iori]

I guess it's about winning too.

Sure! Ah, if you don't mind Maya... I can take her down too.

[death_maid]

"I see,"

"Not at all," have a cautious pat, ...Maya?

[junpei_iori]

*Maya flails, and Junpei laughs before explaining the girl the controls.*

[death_maid]

Light giggle before paying attention.

...somehow, she understands the controls.

[junpei_iori]

When you're ready, press start and pick a character.

[death_maid]

"Hmm, I'll pick this ninja girl, then."

Ready?

[junpei_iori]

*Ready!* All right, let's play then!

*Poor Alice. Junpei will go easy on you, though.*

[death_maid]

Poor Alice indeed. But she'll try her best.

...and try she does, but it's just not enough to win against Junpei.

[junpei_iori]

*Indeed. Junpei even beats her pretty hard. Embarrassing!* Haha, sorry, I beat you...
