Day 218; ⛎ Action | Evening/Late Night
[Caliborn got really pumped about his punishment, in that it meant that he could finally get some artistic recognition.]

[What he didn't get so pumped about was the fact that his name was to be displayed alongside them. So instead of bragging to the whole network about his awesome new art pieces, he just quietly submits his work and goes to find something better to do.]

[Which means going to the arcade to dick around with the shooters and fighting games for a while, and then looting the media store. Or he likes to think of it as looting, since he doesn't have to pay for anything, but there wasn't anything explicitly wrong about his conduct. ...Other than the part where he started giggling maliciously and ran out of the store, anyway.]

[Caliborn decides to round out his night by hooking up a brand new stereo. He'd pawed through the musical selections and picked out the things that looked the most offensive. So now he's pointing the speakers at the wall, cranking up the volume, and hitting "play" on his shiny new monster metal album.]

[At around 1:00am.]

[To those who are vaguely adjacent to his Sector 2 apartment: I am so sorry.]

[ Roxy is playing in the arcade, metal waterbottle set on a game machine as she slaps the buttons and jiggles the other controls. The arcade is actually one of her favorite places in the dome, so far-- if you don't include the bars, anyways.

She doesn't even see Caliborn there, she's so focused on the game. It's a shooter, and her riflekind is pretty damn sharp. So she's doing really well. High scores, and so on. ]

	[Oh, but Caliborn sees her.] [He sidles up and seizes the Player 2 controls.] Surprise, bitch. A challenger. Appears. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ She's momentarily pleased to see him, thinking he's Calliope, but her face falls from a smile to a scowl pretty damn fast. She rattles the controls, locking her gaze onto the machine. ]

You're going down, boy, I ain't never lost a game to no one. Not a single person. Folks say she's a whiz kid extraordinaire with the console, she's got the Konami code memorized, and she's caught em all-- twice over, just like Noah's arc. You get me? Your butt's gonna get kicked down the hallway and out the door.

	[Caliborn sees that shift, and laughs, before pouring his whole focus onto the shooting.] Bluster and babble. Who have you ever even played against. Chess guys? I'm surprised if they even know. The business end of a controller. And how to not eat it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
