Event Eight.

The heart's dearest solace will smile on me there. No more from the cottage again will I roam, Be it ever so humble, there's no place like home. | |
Welcome to Awash's eighth event log, everyone! Further information on this event can be found here at the OOC post. | |
he Town is quiet this week. No sudden quests on the forum post, no roars of werewolves in the distance... just peaceful, peaceful quiet. Of course, it's
arcade
These are... games?
no subject
Yes. A lot of them you just play by yourself, I think, but there are some that you can play with others. [ Elizabeth laughs a little ] They're definitely all competitive though, if that's okay.
no subject
I don't suppose you'd be willing to teach me a thing or two?
no subject
[ They didn't exactly have time while running through, all things considered. But still, she nods. ]
But I can definitely teach you the basics. From there, we'll just be learning together.
no subject
[A playful smirk.]
But once we have our footing... don't expect me to show you any mercy.
no subject
I'd hope you wouldn't! It wouldn't be as fun otherwise.
[ They're both competitive, and that's exactly what she was hoping for. Elizabeth trots over to a set of the machines. They're all the same game, which is a ye olde version of Whack-a-Mole. Elizabeth picks up the soft mallet and looks at it, then peers into the holes. ]
The way this one works... I think things pop out of the holes, and you're just supposed to hit as many as you can? I only saw it briefly, but that's what a little boy seemed to be doing.
no subject
[So she comes to the one next to it, picking up her own mallet.]
How do we start?
no subject
[ Elizabeth reaches forward to press a simple silver button that matches the decor of the entire box. It whirls to life with music-box style music and lights. It sings a little "Ready...?" and at the beat of the music, a "GO!".
Out the "moles" start to pop, though of course for a city in the sky, it's a little different. Rather than rodents, its seagulls, apparently? They must be a similar kind of pest. And once the game starts, Elizabeth starts to thwack them with the soft mallet, though it does get more difficult as the quick game continues. ]
no subject
She begins whacking as hard and fast as she can...]
Th-this is ... a little harder than it sounded!
no subject
[ But she laughs, since this is fun. She'd only seen the beginning of a game when she passed through, so seeing now how multiple pop up at once, how it's impossible to actually hit all of them, she gets the challenge. ]
I don't think you can even hit them all!
no subject
[this... probably isn't the place for inspiring pep talks]
no subject
The game isn't very long, so the music tapers off with a happy trill, and all of the moles retreat into their holes with the sound of turning gears. A placard on the machine shows a score of 16, which is decent, but definitely not all of them. Elizabeth giggles as she stands back, then waits to see how Maribelle does with her own game. ]
no subject
7.]
What?! That's all?! This machine must be broken, I definitely got far more than that!
[she absolutely did not.]
no subject
Well, again? We know how it works now, so we might be able to beat it.
no subject
[this might be a long day]
no subject
That's really not as simple as it looks... I wonder if anyone has ever gotten a perfect score?
no subject
No one! No one has ever gotten a perfect score on this blasted thing, I refuse to believe it!
