[ walking in, Shouichi's moving a little slowly. His head isn't wrapped up as much, but he does have some bandages on his head still, and his finger is still splinted from being broken. His ribs, still broken, are making him take in sharp breathes occasionally, but he didn't want to sit around and do nothing. that drove him more crazy then anything.

Noticing the large amount of lion UFO catchers around, he investigates and sees a familiar face, even though the last time they spoke it was rather awkward. ]

Y...You look like you're very lucky.

[neverbeenworse]

[Jumps when he first hears Shouichi, and whips around to face him, startled. The moment he realizes it's just that one guy from before he stops and looks momentarily embarrassed.]

But I'm not!

[nerdable]

[ Shouichi suddenly looks a little more awkward too, not really knowing how to deal with someone who is just about as awkward (if not more) then him ]

Well, you did win so many of them, so logic stands that you are either lucky, or you were able to figure out the exact inconsistency within the machine to be able to beat the so called "trick" there is to them.

[neverbeenworse]

[Takes a moment to think through that, then casts a suspicious look back at the UFO catcher as he asks slowly]

There's a trick?

[candleinastorm]

[Kazu just happened to be passing by when he caught sight of the scene, and he quickly ducked into the doorway and made his way over the Enma]

Holy shit, that's amazing!

[neverbeenworse]

[Turns to Kazu, looking rather flustered. A deer in the headlights, really]

I-It's. I-I. This never happens...

[candleinastorm]

Yeah, no kidding! These things are impossible to win!

[neverbeenworse]

[and his expression becomes more uncertain]

I-Impossible? Really?

[coordinatingly]

[ ...Oh! This seems interesting, so she'll be watching in awe. How did you get all of those prizes *A* ]

You're really good at that!

[neverbeenworse]

[looks over his shoulder at her, then promptly drops his gaze to the ground because he doesn't do that eye contact thing.]

I-It just happened, really.

[coordinatingly]

[But things don't just happen, right? It can't be just some silly coincidence.]

But I've never seen anyone actually get something from one of those before, that's really cool, actually! [Never seen a crane game before, yyyyep.]

[neverbeenworse]

[slightly taken aback by the enthusiasm]

....really?

[magicthreads]

[Sandry has never seen a crane before! But it looked quite curious from the outside, and since she had no particular destination in mind, she had decided to come into the arcade.

She watches Enma studiously, trying to figure out both the machine and how he does it.]

How do you get the animals out of the box?

[neverbeenworse]

[He shuffles nervously as she watches, not quite sure if he wants her to say something or not -- but then she goes ahead and says something, so at least we don't have to figure out that conundrum anymore.]

The crane...

[After a pause, he realizes she just might need a more specific answer. They're not his forte, really, but he motions to the claw inside]

It picks them up.

[magicthreads]

[She draws closer, curious to put her hands on the glass and see what happens.]

Is it magic?

[neverbeenworse]

[Stares at her for a moment before he remembers that some people here aren't used to this stuff.]

A machine.

[karmafree]

Oya? What's this?

[neverbeenworse]

A...ufo catcher?

[karmafree]

I knew that, of course.

[Have a significant look at the stuffed toys, then a raised eyebrow.]

[neverbeenworse]

[Oh. Uhm....Oh.]

Why'd you ask, then?
