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.

What? Is that a thing in this world? Cats liking milk?

[ Why is this place so weird. ]

So that's why the people at the cat cafe always go on about giving the cats milk.

Well, yeah. Isn't it obvious...? It's like dog with bones or mice with cheese-- cats and milk. Everybody knows that.

[ He shakes his head, frustrated now. Way to take the wind out of his sails by not getting his reference, god. ]

What cat cafe? You go to those?

[ Hey, what's with the accusing tone? Catra gets a bit shifty. ]

They made me work in one!

[ That's typical enough of this place to not really be much of a surprise, but it makes Reggie laugh anyway. ]

What, so do you, like, still work there? [ It'll be a minute before this stops being hilarious, sorry. Not that sorry. ] But I mean, it makes sense though. Where else could you work?
plentystrong: (defiant)

[ Catra's ears flatten in annoyance. ]

Hey! I have many skills!
bragnificent: (💋 ⦄ ꜱʜᴀᴍᴇʟᴇꜱꜱ ⇨ bad influence)

But I'm guessing not ones that pay the bills.

[ He steals another nacho. ]

Do you have any of those?
plentystrong: (whine)

[ She thinks for a moment. ]

I guess I could be... what, a drill instructor? Sounds like a drag, though. Honestly, the cat cafe's pretty easy money.
