[IC] In an arcade with the OC above

Freebie

     The arcade at this city wasn't as impressive as the ones back in Japan, but there was one machine they had that Ken was glad to see: Taiko no Tatsujin. It was a popular drumming/rhythm game with such unusual yet cute controls that it didn't surprise him to see a fair amount of people hovered around it. When it got to his turn to play, he found a young teen on the other drum. The idea of a beat-centered rhythm game must have been exciting for him. Ken couldn't help but smirk. He was going to get destroyed in this game.

     By the end of the third game, the vein pulsing at the side of Ken's head was almost as big as the drums themselves. "Grr, this isn't FAIR!" he snarled and tossed the sticks towards the screen. He glared at James. "You're cheating!!!" he accused. He was a POP STAR! HOW could he lose THREE TIMES to a-a kid?! Ken growled again and stormed off. This wouldn't be the last he saw of him...!

        Kenshin probably just wanted a day off. But, he was there. And he was just trying to play his damn rhythm games.

       Aylin had different plans for him, though.

       "Oh my gosh, it's you!" the teenager squealed gleefully, "I didn't even know you played arcade games..! You really are a real person!! ..I'm such a big fan of Kurai Arashi. Look! Look, look, look, I've got-- see??" She held her phone out to Kenshin, completely unaware of him trying to focus on the screen. She was getting it a little too close to his face. Bite her hand and free yourself, sir twink.

       "See, see, see? Ohhh, and I can't wait to tell all of my followers--" All twelve of them. "-- That I met! A real life celebrity! Here! Do you like rhythm games?? I, like, really really loooove rhythm games!" She only played Dance Dance Revolution one time. "But I love! Visual novels!! Do you like visual novels??!?!?!? OR MMOS???"

Curiosity had peeked the firemancer after meeting Aylin. He had learned a little bit about what existed in this area and one that had peeked his curiosity was about arcade games. He had never heard of this before, none of this existed where he lived. And now he was curious to try.

And so he went to the arcades with Aylin, not that bothered by her over friendliness and exciteability. He actually thought it was adorable in it's own way how it didn't take her that much to peek her interest. And as they entered the place, he was struck by the ambiance. There was a lot of people, some places had lines of people waiting for their turn on a game.

He peeked at a few with curiosity, some were shooting games, some were car games, there was even a pacman game and he would bombard Aylin with so many "Hey, what's that?" Or "Ooh, and this?"

He tried a few of the games that gave prizes and those who hosted them were quite lucky his element was fire, because had it been something like water or shadow, he would've absolutely cheated at those games as soon as he realized how cracked it was.

There was no clever trick he could pull with what he could do, this was a sad day.

But nonetheless, now his curiosity got peeked by the dance floor game, dance dance revolution. With that said, he ended up saying "Hey, I'd love to try that! It sounds funny!" He grinned widely. They waited a bit in the line and when they got close, he looked at her "Just pick whatever song, I honestly wouldn't know what to pick." He chuckled lightly as he took off his sheathed weapons off his back since he was kinda gonna move a lot and didn't want to hit her with his bow. He placed them nearby while so many people just assumed they were fake weapons. They weren't.

He got on the floor "Ok so you're going to have to explain how this works. Just imagine I'm an 80 years old man who never got to know what this stuff is, but that has the energy of a much younger man." He grinned.

Once he was explained, he tried one and once he had the gist of it, he grinned "Are you down for hard mode?" He asked, curious to see how bad he'd be. He learned rather quickly on the first one and was surprisingly good for someone who never tried, but now he wanted hard mode.

And boy, as soon k-pop music started and the two were each on a dance floor, his first comment was "HOLY SHIT!" failing everything. Miserably. And yet, he wanted to try more, now it had gotten his oversized ego. He had to succeed! And, he was so awful at it. Eventually, he had to be tossed aside to leave the place for others. "God damn it, fine!" He sighed as he looked at the pokemon trainer "Alright well I guess I'll let you chose whatever game you want to make me try, then." He chuckled.

NP Jon is not from a time where theres arcade games but you're free to either make people make him discover arcade games (which is a bit what I planned above) or do whatever comes to mind. This is TH games, anything's possible xD

If you'd rather have another oc, you can take a look at Zen, Kjaya, Nikolao or Abbey which would know more about arcade games! Even Mika, he comes from modern time but came from a place that had no arcade games originally so that's something he can discover. He'd love it for sure.

Core walked around the arcade with Jonathon, enjoying the bright neon lights. The two walked around for a bit, before Core seemed interested in a game called 'Mario Kart'. The two both went onto one of the 'Mario Kart' machines, and started playing. Core and Jonathan both kept crashing into walls, but they both seemed to be having fun. Core ended up losing, and the 2 continued walking around the arcade. Core seemed interested in a claw machine, and kept trying for a protogen plushie, but couldn't get it. Eventually, Core started swearing immaturely at the claw machine, still trying for the protogen plushie, and eventually getting it. While the 2 were walking, Core decided to pull a prank on someone who was playing Pac-Man, appearing on the screen in glitch form for a few seconds and watching their reaction, before returning to true form and heading over another game.
