Who: Maeko, Seiko, Tom
What: Arcade
Where: Arcade
When: After drama.
Why: Tom needs to get out of his room. Maeko needs new birds. Seiko's just groovy like this.

Maeko played with her phone as she waited for Seiko and Tom to show up. Her expression hardenned for a second as she replied to her latest message (had she not made it abundantly clear that she did not want to talk? For seemingly wanting to make up Misaki was still apparently reluctant to listen to anyone else) but softenned again as she started failing at guiding a snake around the screen.

She looked up after the third time the stupid reptile chewed on its own tail (why could it not just slither over itself?). And smiled.

"Ah, you're here! Hi!"

"Huh? Oh." Given names weren't something Maeko was entirely comfortable with. She'd grown used, somehow, to people adressing her by given name but doing so in return still seemed unnatural. Had she ever even referred to Kanaye by given name? She smiled, though she clearly had to catch herself even just now, the same way she apruptly cut herself off when she started trying to use an honorific for Tom. "Seiko-chan, then!"

She looked around, eventually spotting a machine that matched that description. She increased her pace a little as she moved over to it (what if someone got it first? That would be awful!) then turned around and "Hey, keep up! We're going to try this one, okay?"

	Seiko nodded. "Aye aye." she said with a grin and picking up one of the plastic guns a little awkwardly. "I'm not exactly great at this kind of thing..." she bounced on the balls of her feet, never one to stay still when she was excited. "Are you okay with this one Sagaki-san?"

	Tom examined the machine carefully. Even crouching down to look at it, then picking up one of the guns. "I have no idea. I've never used something like this before. Though it may be useful for training." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Maeko was also examining the machine, though in a significantly less thorough manner. She was totally just holding the plastic gun to work out how much it weighed and not at all trying to mimic poses from movie posters.

"Okay, let's try it!" Maeko said, nodding to herself once she was done totally not acting like a kid. She put a coin into the machine and pointed the gun at it. "Ready?"

"I am always ready, a coiled spring am I..." Seiko said with a self deprecating grin. She had mentioned the game party because it seemed a little more 'sensible' for their group. As Tom had said it could even be good training.

Seiko's good intentions and enthusiasm did not mean she had any skill shooting zombies of course.

"Ah I think that unhappy looking one is eating my legs again." she said brightly.

Tom snapped his little plastic pistol to the side, and fired off a shot, causing the pixel zombies head to burst. He never even appeared to look away from his own targets.

Tom's posture was rigid, he stood, and moved exactly like he would if it was a real fight. To him shooting the zombies wasn't hard. Throwing a knife at a bird flying away and hitting it while avoiding killing your friend, that was hard.

Oddly despite his superb aim, Tom would jerk back as the zombies attacked him. Dodging the attacks on his own. Yet he still took damage.

	Maeko was not really paying much attention to the screen, eyes squeezed shut because ARGH ZOMBIES. She aimed in the general direction of the screen and shot over and over again in a generally ineffective manner. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Aiii, Sagaki-san is really good." Seiko said nudging Maeko with a grin, then noticing her friend had her eyes tightly closed.

"Ah Maeko-chan, would you like to change games?" Seiko asked her attention now away from her own screen where yet again she was being eaten.

She looked over at Tom, "Is there a way to pause the game?" she asked trying to work it out on her own screen but generally failing.

	Tom frowned, and winced as a zombie hit him. He kept pointing the gun at the screen and pulling the trigger, but there was a continuous click as the gun had run out of ammo and he had no idea how to reload. "I have no idea." He twirled the pistol around and moved as if to block and strike the screen itself. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Maeko had gingerly openned one eye, still incredbly trigger-happy. ...was Tom dancing? "Ah, I'm fine! I'm just not used to this..." BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG click click reload BANG "I don't think you can pause..." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Seiko smiled at their joint inability to work out how this violent zombie game seemed to work. She had to admit though Tom's strategy would possibly be more useful in an actual zombie invasion.

She looked back at her screen with a sigh, she seemed to be attracting more zombies than the others somehow. Unfortunately Seiko was the type to anthropomorphise pixel zombies, she felt pretty guilty about shooting them, after all whilst they were rotten and they were trying to eat her, but they had human faces...sort of if you ignored the green bits.

Seiko got eaten again, she was fairly sure she was now down to her last life.

"Hey after this one maybe we could move to something different? Its a little unnerving how these zombies seem to be looking right at me..."

"They do that..."

Tom examined his gun, he frowned, pushed every button and began shaking it. Doing so accidentally shot it off the screen. It reloaded and with fresh bullets, Tom took to clearing away the ones coming after Seiko.

Then he turned to shoot his own zombies and *click* *click,* out of ammo again, Tom began frantically shaking the gun hoping it would reload.

	"After this, yeah! Are they really looking at-" Maeko had openned both eyes now, though it didn't seem to have improved her aim at all. She was having no problems with reloading due to shooting everywhere but the zombies. "-Ah! They are looking!" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Its creepy right?" Seiko shuddered. "I mean why do they have to have such detailed eyes? I mean the rest of their faces is rotten..." She smiled. "Thanks Sagaki-san, I'm not that great at dodging yet..." Of course her breaking her concentration to talk meant yet another hoard was after her. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Tom frowned as he watched the zombies eat his little pixel man. "I can't fathom how to avoid them either. It doesn't make sense, why would we be able to aim and shoot but not avoid? How is this even helpful for training?" (Reply to this) (Parent)
