Who: Kanaye, Masaya, Misaki
What: Games!
When: Whenever.
Where: Arcade
Why: It's fun!

Kanaye waited. He seemed to be doing that a lot. Waiting for Kozue, waiting for his family, waiting for Maeko to like him again...He's been doing a lot of waiting. Kanaye got a lot of practice at it, after all. It's one of the few things he found himself good at. So when he found himself waiting outside of the arcade, he didn't really mind.

Kanaye didn't know Masaya all that much and he didn't get off on a very good start with Misaki, either. But that was in the past, right? No need to worry about what's in the past. He might get a few friends out of the deal!

Yeah. Right.

Kanaye waited.

Kanaye looked up and smiled as the two approached. He stood up and smiled at the two. "Masaya-san, Misaki-san! It's good to see you!" Laughing, he scratched the back of his head. "Nah, only a couple of minutes!" If "20" was a couple.

Kanaye started walking inside, talking as he did so. "Sorry for not wanting to go to kigakiga for ice cream. I didn't really want to go there. My ex works there and that'd be awkward." Maybe it was bragging. Good luck getting Kanaye to admit it. "Well, we're friends again now, so oh well!" He laughed.

"Senpai, Aoi-san! S'up." Masaya nodded to them both, a small smile spreading across his face when he saw Aoi-san. He was already glad that he came.

He followed Kanaye inside, listening to his reasons. "I get it, Senpai. It always gets way too weird when exes came around." Not that he would know - his last girlfriend had been in the ninth grade. "I wouldn't...nah, whatever. It's nice to hang out with you guys. Thanks for inviting me."

Those pleasantries over with, he turned to Aoi-san, smiling a bit wider for her. "Thanks for coming to my last practice," he whispered, trying to keep it from Senpai's ears while still being heard over the din of the games.

Misaki's smile faultered for a second at hearing the 'We're friends again', but she relaxed and smiled, "That's great sempai, I'm glad she's talking to someone. I've been trying to avoid going there, but I'm glad I did, I wouldn't have met Masaya-san had I not gone."

"I wouldn't know what that was like, having an ex and all," Misaki smiled some. "Well you're welcome. I'm glad I came, Sempai can be a lot of fun when he wants to Masaya-san."

Misaki beamed and nodded whispering, "Any time." Louder she said, "Well lets have some fun. What do you guys want to play first? I heard from Toshimi-chan that it was half price."

JUST ACCORDING TO KEIKAKU.

(Keikaku means plan.)

"A bit, yeah. Hell, Maeko-san's the first one to actually talk to me after we broke up! Then again," Kanaye laughed, "she was the first one I bothered trying to apologize for, so..." Shaking his head, Kanaye smiled at Masaya. "No problem, Masaya-kun! Just ask whenever you want, ok?"

"Yeah. I get how it can be tough for you, considering she was your best friend. She's talking to Seiko, now, so that's good. It's quite nice!" Kanaye grinned to himself. Ha ha ha ha! Who's the one she loves now, bitch?

...Kanaye blinked. He swore this had happened before...

"Of course I can! I'm always fun!" Kanaye laughed, as to illustrate his point."

"Well, I'm good at fighting games, so maybe one of those?" He pointed.

"Talking helps," Masaya admitted with a slight chuckle. "I'll keep that in mind."

He wondered if he should add anything about Aoi-san's friend situation, but couldn't think of anything to say. He only knew what she had told him, and anything he said now would just be superfluous. So, he nodded in the direction of the fighting games Senpai had pointed out.

"Sure, let's go. But I gotta warn you, I reserve the right to bail if I'm getting beaten too hard."

	Misaki gave a teasing grin, "I'm sure you won't bail on us that fast will you Masaya-san?" She headed over to the fighting games and looked them over, "Do we want a free for all or to work as a team?" Glancing over her shoulder she looked at the two older boys, "Which one would you two want to work with?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	zealousemperor 2010-01-08 04:52 am UTC (link)
	"Oh, don't worry about it! I'm not all that practiced." Kanaye shrugged. "I'm gonna go for free for all. You guys can team up if you want to but I wanna be alone." He smiled. "In the game, of course. No one wants to be alone in real life." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"There's no telling what I'll do until the time comes," Masaya teased her back, giving her side a slight nudge with his elbow.

"No, trust me, you're both bound to be better than me. The last time I played a fighting game was in middle school." Baseball was a much more worthwhile pasttime, anyway. He walked up to the game and took a space beside Misaki, the pit of his stomach already tingling at the thought of making a huge spaz of himself in front of them. "I think we can take it together, right, Aoi-san? You wanna team up?" Please.

"Oh you're not scared of us are you Senpai?! Come on now, why do you want to go alone, it'll help with your team work," Misaki teased Kanaye as he walked over to the machine. She shrugged and giggled some when nudged.

"I'll keep that in mind Masaya-san," She grinned and nodded, "Right, well then lets make sure you have the higher health, okay? And sure We can always take down Senpai when he wants to come over and try his luck with us."

She was going to fight low, right now she didn't need him to think she was some sort of girl that spent hours trying to beat up random character in the game when bored.

"Nah, I'd rather be alone most of the time. I mean, you know what you're thinking, right? And you might mess up someone else's plans. It's a lot easier to just be alone." Kanaye decided this situation was uncomfortable and promptly got to choosing a character.

Upon deciding on the prettiest guy he could find, Kanaye got to playing. It was fun, he had to admit. He always enjoyed video games. And what better way to release stress?

Masaya understood exactly what Kanaye was saying - he'd rather be alone than with anyone, too. People were just...complicated. And annoying. Well, Aoi-san and Senpai weren't - yet - but...

To distract himself from the subject, he stared at the character selection screen, trying to find someone who looked strong and easy for a newbie to get the hang of, and eventually settled on a muscular fellow who looked like he would be good for a few power moves rather than intricate combinations. Masaya didn't have the patience for those; it was just better to drain the opponent's HP with a string powerful hits, he thought, even if it meant rushing blindly in or leaving yourself open in the process.

"Alright," he said, trying to sound more confident in his decision to play than he felt. "Let's go! What'll you do, Aoi-san?"

	"Alright Sempai, your call," she said shrugging and then went after the fighter with a long reach and one you needed to use combinations to use. She didn't like powerful characters because they weren't fast and thus harder to dodge with. She grinned at Masaya, "Ready! This should be lots of fun." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Kanaye was distracted. His mind kept drifting off to what he had said earlier. Did he really have to say that? Did he really? He doubted they'd notice that he actually meant what he said but it could never be sure. And there'd go any chance in hell of him actually making friends with them. Not like he needed them.

Smirking a bit, he made his character do a rather impressive combo. Blinking a bit, he attempted to replicate it but couldn't. Of course not.

	"Watch my back, Aoi-san!" Masaya said a little too enthusiastically before sending his man running into the fray, making him grab Kanaye's character to attempt to pull off some impressive throw. He was jamming buttons a little too hard, sure, but so far nothing was going wrong. He didn't know how long it could last, though. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Sure thing," Misaki smiled and waited a bit before attacking the NPC with a flying kick, sending it into the air and excuting several swipes with her sword, knocking the female NPC back down to crash into the ground. She got out again and came after Misaki.

"Kanaye-sempai, do a semi-circle then hit the punch button rapidly to do that combo again," Misaki suggested.

Kanaye managed to make his character dodge Masaya's throw but only barely. "No worries, Misaki-san, I can do it by myself!" Nevertheless, he did, in fact, do a semicircle and hit the punch button rapidly. After nothing happened, he did a semicircle in the other direction. It worked, this time.

He moved his character to the back of the screen and waited for anyone to attack him.

"Damn!" Masaya swore out of reflex when Kanaye's character dodged his throw, jamming the punch button in frustration, as if that could magically make something happen.

He thrust the joystick too hard in his opponent's direction, making his guy plod - why was he so fucking slow? - in Kanaye's direction, determined that he wouldn't get away this time without taking some damage.

	Misaki smiled some and nodded, then watched Masaya, and used one of her items on him to increase his speed. She lowered her voice some, "Joystick up and down rapidly once then hit the kick button, he'll charge, then hit him with a right that will send him into the air." She looked over the stats on the characters as she had her character dealing with the NPC. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	zealousemperor 2010-01-09 06:17 am UTC (link)
	Kanaye smiled. This is the advantage to being fast. Kanaye dashed towards Masaya's character and used the combo that Misaki told him how to use in order to deal as much damage as possible. He was mashing buttons at this point but he didn't really care. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Damn it!" Masaya found himself swearing again, already worked up, as Kanaye's man sent his halfway across the stage with his combination. The hit slivered off a quarter of Masaya's HP, and Masaya slammed the joystick back, trying to put some distance between him and Kanaye's characters.

He nodded at Misaki's advice, grateful for her speed boost that his guy sorely needed (stupid brawlers, all muscle and no agility), and attempted to do the move she'd told him.

But which was the kick button again? Fuck. He flicked the joystick back and forth as he pressed random combinations until he found the right one, and then smiled with anticipation, sending his guy charging across the stage towards Kanaye once more.

	Kanaye was somewhat surprised, and his character paid for it. Flying back, he was growling at his hp bar, which had taken a rather sizable hit. The disadvantage to being weak... Not to be outdone, Kanaye made his character flip up from the ground with a kick towards the giant guy. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Misaki just let her character sit back and watch them duke it out. It was kind of amusing in a way. She didn't want to attack either of them and had her character just dealing with the NPCs that came out.

"Careful Masaya," she said softly, "don't let him get to close."

She wondered if Kanaye had found the special combo that could happen if he hit up, down, and kick twice. It would let him hit Masaya's character in three pointsn that could make him dizzy.

Masaya already had his hands full trying to grapple with Kanaye, whose character just then struck him with a powerful kick that knocked even more HP off of his bar. He growled and slammed the joystick back, mashing buttons in order to get his guy to jump up.

Needless to say, Misaki's comment only served to piss him off.

"I can handle it myself!" he snapped, even though he knew it was unnecessary.

	Kanaye just smirked and spammed random buttons. Was it cheap? Yes. Did he care? Not really. In order to do his requisite stupid thing for today, he decided to attack Misaki's character with a flying kick. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Misaki saw the attack comming and quickly hit a few buttons to counter. She flipped up, and her character slashed at Kanaye's character, she recoiled from where the hit landed, but the damage was less then what it could have been.

"Not bad," Misaki laughed and thought, for a guy that's just button mashing. I wonder what would happen if I used some actual combos on him. Would that be fair? No but still she wanted to show off just a little to Masaya. "But you still have a long way to go Senpai."
