This ain't no Ancho-V Games

[woomy]

Who: Agent 3, people who want to play games or shoot friends with lasers
What: Location based log. Such a noisy place is great to have secret talks or just have some fun on the arcades and shooting friends with lasers.
When: flexible dates in the month of April
Where: Press Start Arcade and Laser Tag
Warnings: Excessive use of black light and neon?

The Press Start Arcade boasts a number of games to pass the hours. The standard set of arcade games are present, along with a few imported arcade cabinets in foreign languages. It's a noisy, vibrant place with lots of foot traffic during after school hours. However, there are also a number of older patrons ranging from college students to "team building" office workers.

The main attraction is laser tag. There are two teams, colors shown on the special numbered vests and guns people have to wear. Team are initially divided into two waiting lobbies before going into the arena. People shoot the targets on the front and back of the vest to score a point. Hitting other people earn points. Getting hit loses points. Getting hit too much "locks" your weapon until you go back to the team base and shoot a recharge target. Key areas in the arena can be strategically captured for more points. There is also an area that looks strangely like something Agent 3 would get up to. At the end of the match, the points are tallied up on a big flat screen. Both the team scores and individual scores (shown by what number gear the person is wearing) are showed. Fun for everyone!

There is also a small pizza and soda place and a party room because what self respecting laser tag place doesn't have pizza and soda and party rooms?

[[ OOC: Agent 3 will have a thread of her own if people want to interact with her. Otherwise, you can use this for whatever shenanigans you like. ]]

LASER TAG

[Maxxie is super competitive, but in a fun way, you know? In the lobby he's bouncing excitedly and holding up his laser gun with a grin. He may even be engaging in a little bit of shit-talking, trying to egg on his team-mates (consisting primarily of other Flashstep members, probably) into a bit of friendly competition to see who can score the most points.]

[Once they're actually inside Maxxie is just as high energy and even a bit reckless. It would not be a surprise to see him do an action roll across a hallway, but he hangs back when he should.]

ARCADE & LOUNGE

[Having caught the competitive spirit bug, when Maxxie's not recovering from a laser tag match he's probably challenging someone to some 2-player arcade game. He's surprisingly not sour when he loses, almost like his attitude has shifted a bit in the past few months...]

[Anyway other than that he's enjoying some pizza with his bandmates or posing for selfies when fans approaching him. All around this is a pretty good day for him.]

[melodiouspacifist]

[Laser tag seems awfully sport like, what with the weapons and running around and everything good and fun like that.

Demyx is not terribly athletic, never has been. He never wanted to be an athlete and more importantly, he's never played laser tag before. He holds the gun awkwardly, turning it over in his hand curiously.

His band invited him out, so he should be there, trying to blend in, although really, they all seem so excited to be out playing together and he isn't sure about how to even play.]

[notahobby]

[Maxxie notices Demyx struggling a little before they're about to go in, and approaches him with his most sympathetic and helpful face. He may have been shit-talking with Jamie just a moment before, but they're all here to have a good time first and foremost, so he wants to make sure Demyx feels included.]

Hey, you ever played this before?

[melodiouspacifist]

[He tilts his hand a little, holding the gun loosely and he looks up when Maxxie approaches him. He wasn't really expecting to be noticed. He shakes his head, offering a pleasant smile.]

No, uh, actually I haven't. I kind of get the idea.

[notahobby]

Yeah, you just point a shoot. Gotta keep from getting shot too, and you'll know it when this - [he taps the vest Demyx is wearing] - starts blinking and everything.

[melodiouspacifist]

I don't think I've ever been a good shot.

[Demyx laughs, most boys have played with some form of toy gun haven't they? At least in his sketchy past he's sure he must have.]

How do I know when I've died?

[Because that's what's probably going to happen.]

[notahobby]

Y'don't really die. But if you get hit too much your gun will make a weird sound, yeah? You won't be able to shoot anyone so you'll have to go back to the base.

[melodiouspacifist]

Oh, okay, I thought I was going to die and not be able to play again.

[He turns the gun over in his hands a few times.]

[notahobby]

Nah, that wouldn't be any fun, would it?

[melodiouspacifist]

[He laughs.]

Yeah, well I know it wouldn't, but it's a game. There's ways to lose, right?

[He took aim and shook his head.]

Somehow I know I'm a bad shot.

[notahobby]

[He shrugs, still grinning and jovial.]

It's fun either way. Don't worry about it, yeah? I'm just going for highest personal score.

[melodiouspacifist]

[He smiles and holds the gun out like he was taking aim at something on the wall.]

Man, does that feel weird!

[He laughs, such an unnatural pose for him.]

Well I guess if I hit something, I'll consider that an accomplishment!
