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.

Right. Yes? Of course I'd be interested in that. Maybe more as myself than She-Ra. Because she's kind of big.

[Only like seven feet tall, but that's still huge for Adora.]

But I can show you, either way.
fauxmarth: (i like that just fine)

[try not to look too eager, Lucina:] If you truly don't mind, then I'd be thrilled! It's not every day another sword-wielding warrior my age comes around. [her eyes crinkle with good humor:] Even ones that can turn really, really tall.

[personal profile] swordsense 2019-03-26 06:27 am (UTC)(link)
Of course I don't mind. That's totally fine with me.

[actually...]

How old are you, and how long've you been here, anyway?
fauxmarth: (BUT NOT THAT WAY!!!)

[personal profile] fauxmarth 2019-03-27 12:06 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, well I'm sev--[blink.] ...Almost...eighteeen, actually. [she looks surprised because she is; it's almost April!

hastening to catch up from her falter:]
And, ah, I...it's been over a year now, for me. A year from January of this year, in fact. It...doesn't completely feel like it, but...
swordsense: <user name=gazgraphics> (Happy)

[personal profile] swordsense 2019-03-27 05:44 am (UTC)(link)
But it's been a year. I get you.

[Adora manages a sage nod.] We're the same age. Roughly.

That's pretty nice. Meeting people your own age, I mean.
fauxmarth: (gosh.)

[personal profile] fauxmarth 2019-03-27 11:41 pm (UTC)(link)
You're right. [warming:] I admit, I...didn't take much time to try to, all this time. I've been so caught up in trying to help fight, help protect...

But it is nice, as you said. I'm glad you and others have come.
swordsense: <user name=gazgraphics> (Little Smile)

[personal profile] swordsense 2019-03-28 05:37 am (UTC)(link)
Right. Yeah.

{She grins.]

Hopefully you haven't had too hard a time of it.
fauxmarth: (casually becomes ur crush)

[personal profile] fauxmarth 2019-03-28 08:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Don't worry. Even when I do, I've made many kind and good friends here to help me. And you'll do the same!

[extending a hand for Friendship Verification Handshake.] You've got one right here, I hope.
swordsense: <user name=malagraphic> (Satisfied)

[personal profile] swordsense 2019-03-29 04:21 am (UTC)(link)
[Friendship analyzed...and validated.]

I think so, yes!
fauxmarth: (hey thanks!)

[personal profile] fauxmarth 2019-04-01 01:59 pm (UTC)(link)
[beaming:] Excellent! Oh-- you have your communicator with you, yes? We can exchange contacts for when there's a better time to meet up and spar. [because if she thinks she's getting away without crossing swords at some point? WRONG!!]
swordsense: <user name=gazgraphics> (Ahead!)

[personal profile] swordsense 2019-04-02 12:07 am (UTC)(link)
I do!

[Out it comes, and she flips it open to show the info. Here you go!]
fauxmarth: (i like that just fine)

[personal profile] fauxmarth 2019-04-04 05:05 pm (UTC)(link)
[through a small series of clicks and taps, Lucina manages to hunt down Adora on her own device and add her as a friend and send a quick test message to boot -- a trick learned from more tech-savvy friends here.]

There. It's practically a done deal now.
