Bowl-O-Rama Time

WHO: Utena, Lucina, and YOU
WHERE: Kingpin Lanes, a bowling alley in Heropa
WHEN: Friday, March 8th
WHAT: The owners of Kingpin Lanes screwed up their alcohol order are offering massive discounts for anyone 18 and under! And they've kindly requested that Utena and Lucina spread the word to their friends. Why don't you come join them?
WARNINGS: Potential underage hooliganism. Otherwise, nothing so far.
OOC NOTE: Later on today Lucina will be posting on the network letting other characters know about this, with a link to the log. The log is just going up a little early because of our OOC schedules.



Hey, so your got Lucina's invite! Great! Or maybe they found out bout Kingpin Lane's generous deals (discounts on games with groups of six or more! free drinks with every order of atomic nachos! and so on and so forth). Or maybe they literally had nothing better to do. Either way, the lack of beer and the higher than usual concentration of youths have chased off the bowling alley's older regulars, leaving plenty of alleys free.

THE BOWLING LANES

Even with the lack of cheap beer, at least a couple of the lanes will be taken up by bowling teams playing their scheduled games. Around 10 PM, though, they'll shuffle out as the regular lights dim and the blacklights flip on, illuminating everything in a garish neon glow. Grab your friends, a pair of bright white shoes, and a neon ball, and knock down those technicolor bowling pins! If you forgot the score card, don't sweat it - the monitors up above will keep score for you. Assuming they don't malfunction, that is. Wait, did the screen just flicker? Eh, don't worry about it.

THE ARCADE

Is bowling not your thing? No problem! There's a mini arcade just to the side for customers to waste both time and quarters. There's pinball machines and ski-ball for anyone with more old fashioned taste, and a couple different crane machines for people who just love to throw money away. If that's not enticing enough, there's an electronic basketball game, the hit arcade shoot 'em up Burger Blasters, the light gun shooter Duckpocalypse Now, the driving game Krafty Karts, and a little mechanical horsey for the young and young at heart.

THE PARKING LOT

Sometimes you just need to breathe in some fresh air. Or bum a smoke. Or partake in other less than wholesome, possibly illicit substances where underpaid nacho slingers can't see you. As long as you don't get caught, there's no problem. The parking lot is a no judgement zone! As well as a "I don't get paid enough to keep track of every jerk here" zone.

OTHER

Start a brutal feud over the last pair of size six shoes! Make snide, passive aggressive comments as someone picks the bowling ball you wanted! Weep bitter tears as the change machine eats your twenty! Or be brave and daring and find out what makes the Atomic Nacho Platter so atomic (spoiler: it's just extra jalapenos and some tabasco sauce). If it can take place in or around a bowling alley, you can do it.

[ Well that is. That is just.

The absolute height of embarrassment, mostly, and Catra reacts by flailing all of her limbs, which makes her sway from side to side in Adora's grip. There is loud hissing involved.

Not that it involves her from being tossed out the door like some kind of stray yard cat. She turns around at Adora, glaring back with equal venom, and hisses again.

But then she stops, eventually, because... honestly? This is a lot of adrenaline, and she's getting tired of constantly being bested by Adora yet again, so she gets up and dusts herself off. ]


I needed some fresh air anyway.

[ And she turns on her heel, about to stomp off to nurse her wounded pride. ]

[Adora, still angry, can't keep herself from continuing. She's angry, and will undoubtedly remain so for a while. Catra had really, really struck a nerve and now she was just going to act she hadn't started this and slink off? Oh no.]

Right. Skulk away like you always do.

[She remains in the doorway, not bothering to follow. Mad as she is, she's not interested in escalating a physical confrontation, because then Catra'd definitely get more than wounded pride.]

You keep saying I left you, but it feels more like you keep leaving me.

[ She stills for a moment. Adora is right, isn't she? And that's part of why Catra refuses to go with her. Because now, she can be the one to walk away. And she wants it to be hurtful, wants Adora to feel that pain. She wants Adora to know what it's like to be dropped like a hot piece of iron, to be left in freefall.

Catra cannot let Adora back in because she never wants to fall so deep again. If you asked her, she'd say she's happier now than she's ever been.

Why then does her chest feel so tight? ]


Yeah, well, guess that's just how it is now.

[The difference here is that Adora's too angry to feel sad. Not about being left, but about Catra being so unwilling to accept the clear evidence in the room. She's being ridiculous, and it's starting to wear down Adora's temper.

She doesn't pursue, her hackles are up and she wants time to reorient herself.]


Ugh.

[Adora turns, closing the door and sagging against it with an angry huff.]

...Stupid cat. I know this isn't what you want.

[And with a growl, she pushes off the door and back to her flipperball game. Hopefully, hopefully, that will calm her down a bit.]

[ Catra stays where she is until she can hear the door closing behind Adora. Then she walks toward the parking lot, kicking at a pebble in her path on the way. ]
