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.

[ Fortunato is a naturally paranoid person- especially as of late- to the point that people notice. It’s probably noteworthy that this girl is pinging his own standards for what counts as awkward.

He frowns, feeling a little badly for thinking that. ]


For most people...it is not too different. [ He’s trying to be reassuring. ]

[ His radar is at least functioning well - she is over-thinking everything, except the things that might make her blend in better.

His words are indeed reassuring. ]


Thanks. I'll catch on to the social rules around here eventually.

Anyway, I think I'm chill enough to head back in. It was nice talking to you. Oh, by the way, I'm Ruby.

Fortunato Medeiros.

[ His identity is no secret, he supposes. And this girl seems more awkward than anything dangerous- although who knows what that could mean.

He nods. ]


You- you should have a good time.

[ He doesn't sound committed to that, but it's the thing you say. ]

Cool to meet you, Fortunato.

[ She moves to head back in, stopping near the door and looking back to him as she has a thought occur. ]

Would you like some water or something real fast? It won't be a problem for me to grab some and bring it to you before I dive back in.

[ She'd absolutely remembered his cough when he came outside. ]

[ Fortunato seems to relax for a split second when she turns to go, but then turns his head in her direction and straightens up again once she’s turned back to him. He does appreciate the offer, but he’s decided he’s not fond of the way people tend to act like they’re looking after him. This is better than it should be; he doesn’t deserve anything else. ]

I- no. [ Though he sounds a bit sad to say it. ] But- thank you.

[ She noticed the shift in physical comfort this time, but decided to not say anything. It wasn't her business until she was confronted with it. All she could do was remove herself from the situation, since her leaving to do so was what seemed to allow him to relax.

Not that she wasn't very curious... ]


Not a problem. See ya around.

[ And with that she opened the door and headed inside, thinking about looking this guy up on the network later. Curiosity would some day be her downfall. ]
