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.

Me? Why did I come here?

[It's not a question he expected. Isn't it just...what people do?]

It just seemed like a normal thing to do. But then I kind of needed some space, so I came out here.

[ A normal thing to do. As if Fortunato would be doing that. Perhaps that's why this feels so strange. ]

...I understand. [ He'll admit that. ]

It- it seems that many people need that.

[ Roxas isn't the first person to wander back here, after all, and Fortunato's noticed. Maybe that'll make Roxas feel more comfortable. ]

Really? I kind of figured it made me the weird one.

[He chuckles, because ha-ha it's a joke at his expense, all in good fun...except it isn't, really.]

[personal profile] prayercycles 2019-04-07 10:21 pm (UTC)(link)
There have been a few others.

[ He'll let that speak for itself.

...Although, after a moment, he realizes the implication of that. He'd come out here wanting to be alone. ]


I- I can go back in. If you would like me to.
pullsheavendown: (※ words that you meant to say)

[personal profile] pullsheavendown 2019-04-10 07:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh—I was thinking the same thing.

[He gives an awkward, crooked smile.]

Since you were here first.

[personal profile] prayercycles 2019-04-10 09:37 pm (UTC)(link)
...Oh. Then-

[ Well, Roxas has backed him into a corner here, in a way. ]

We can both stay. [ A pause. ] It- it is not too cold.

[personal profile] pullsheavendown 2019-04-11 03:23 am (UTC)(link)
I guess that'd be all right.

[The company's not bad. And it seems like they both understand the need to get away from a crowd.]

[ Fortunato stands there silently for a moment. He's not really sure that was the best of ideas; now he feels like he can't relax. But he rarely relaxes.

Hm. What was he discussing inside? Lucina needed to be introduced to others... ]


Do- do you know anyone, inside?
pullsheavendown: (※ always in this twilight)

[personal profile] pullsheavendown 2019-04-12 07:07 pm (UTC)(link)
A few people, yeah. Some of them I like more than others.

[More specifically, some of them he likes less.]

[ Hm. Well. Ominous!

However...for all his paranoia, Fortunato thinks Roxas seems mild-mannered so far. If he doesn’t press too hard, he could perhaps learn about someone to avoid. ]


...Did something happen?

[personal profile] pullsheavendown 2019-04-28 05:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Eh. Just some stuff.

[How nice and vague. He waves a hand, shaking his head and smiling a little.]

You ever just need a break from someone?
