[Loot Arcade News]

[Late Friday night, there seems to be a heated argument between the owner, Eddie Nelson and local teacher Harold Helman. Helman, an old science teacher and once frequent visitor of the arcade, actually tries to take a swing at Nelson- which was dodged with relative ease. What were the two yelling about? Something about students and abuse. The story is simply reported as a "drunk argument" and the kids who take Helman's classes really do not want to talk about it. Some even stop working at the Loot Arcade because of it.]

I'm meeting my sister in an hour, so I choose grilled cheese in the Capital in, say, 3?

Capital: Cat & Sasha

[The hotel room Sasha was staying in for the night was hardly the glamour of downtown. It was small, cramped, and generally rented by the hour as noted by the bare plywood headboard with handwritten rates etched in pen along the edge. Not that Sasha cared at the moment. It was a bed instead of a worn and rusted tilt-a-whirl cart, so it was awesome for the night. Besides, it was right beside the doughnut shop, and didn't those make for a perfect dinner? There were still several left from the dozen she'd picked up, the box teetering precariously on the nightstand that wasn't meant to actually hold anything apart from the rotary phone and alarm clock that was straight out of 1985.

At least there was a TV, and she'd found a channel out of the five available that was playing a knock-off of a Lifetime knock-off movie that was probably based on a novel by an author that wanted to be Danielle Steele. Not that Sasha could follow. It was dubbed into Spanish with the closed captioning coming up as absolute gibberish. Several guns were spread out on the red slab of sandpaper that passed for a comforter, and Sasha was meticulously cleaning them as she waited for Cat to arrive. Maybe she should have gotten a better room, something that would be impressive and luxurious, but this felt more at home to Sasha than she'd been in so very long. For what it was worth, she was actually looking forward to seeing Cat.

She hadn't been crying for a whole ten minutes. It felt like an accomplishment.]
