"I've already been there... and there... and there, too," said Bridge, pointing at every section in the arcade. "So I don't really have a preference. I was about to suggest that we have pizza first except that doesn't really matter to you guys, does it? I'd vote for a dance game first, myself, then. Just so I don't get sick when I'm flailing around like a fool."

Bridge himself was hoping that they could convince Zero to join in- his friend reminded him a little TOO much of Sky in some respects, his seeming aversion to certain activities chief among them.

"You can do that dancing thing if you like," he replied before he had even considered the offer. A room full of all sorts of interesting games and he goes straight for the most ridiculous one? Then again, he couldn't be too unkind- he remembered what it was like having a 'stomach.' "I don't even think my boots would fit on the pads."

Zero glanced around, peeking at some of the closer games. Something for training police officers, some antiquated old relic labeled 'Time Pilot,' a Jurassic park pinball game... nothing that caught his eye and kept his attention. Well, that big dance-pad machine oozing saccharine J-beats was no worse. He leaned on the sidebar, watching the demo arrows scrolling past. "You two take first play. I'll just watch."

"If you're getting hungry, Bridge, we can always take a breather after a couple of sets to get us something to eat," Locket offered with a smile. It was true that food wasn't a necessity for a Reploid- a term she had yet to be familiar with- but it was still a luxury they engaged in.

"All right, but after our set it's your turn, Zero. You can't watch -all- night." She, too, knew that he wasn't much for activities like this, but a guy had to learn sometime, right? Locket stepped onto one of the pads and pressed a button on the front console.

"Is a slower warm-up song all right?" Locket inquired, scrolling through the music as she glanced Bridge's way. It didn't do well to cramp up a leg by going all out from the word go. Her scrolling stopped on a ditty called Dam Dariram, and she paused for confirmation before selecting it.

She had no real opinion on the J-Music, and was more than happy to get right down to it when her arrow prompts flew over her side of the screen.

"Snack later sounds good," said Bridge, practically jumping up and down with excitement. He couldn't help but sigh at Zero's refusal to play, especially in light of all the awesome choices they had yet to visit.

"Yeah, if you don't wanna dance, then pick something you CAN play with us," said Bridge eagerly. "I think you'd fit on a dance pad just fine, anyway. But I won't bug you if you just wanna stand back and watch me masterfully flail away."

He then nodded to Locket, bouncing up and down on the balls of his feet. "I'm ready!"

Bridge was a little out of practice, but as they started, he settled into a decent rhythm pretty quickly.

Bridge was right. There wasn't too much difficulty in commanding a robot to move its limbs, and that big heavy dance pad could probably withstand his feet. He could manage playing a game like that. If he really wanted to.

If he'd really wanted to. Bridge and Locket were enjoying it far more, anyway. He tuned out the fresh sugary beats as he glanced back to those other games. Some plastic gun games here, a couple racing games there... but the word [CAPCOM] caught his eye, and beneath it, some Bruce Lee lookalike jumpkicking past a striped blond prisoner who just-- threw a whirlwind at him?

[SUPER STREET FIGHTER IV]. Oh yes. That one looked like fun. He grinned, turning back to his companions as the song wound down. "Hey, Bridge. Ever played 'Street Fighter?'"
