Cyprien:
Baba is you and sink

Renége:
Cy is drowning
Tokens dropped onto map 'Viper Pavillion' by player Agi (Player)

Cyprien:
Drowing in something, alright.

Renége:
Seb is definitely going to be your worst enemy

Renége:
There's no way your fear doesn't come up when fighting the boy

Cyprien:
I'm on your team though.

Renége:
He's going to betray us, it's written on the wall.

Cyprien:
I'm dumb at this game

Renége:
It's a hard game.

Cyprien:
I got through the first world just fine

Cyprien:
Lake-1

Cyprien:
And I'm already an idiot

Renége:
That's gonna happen a lot.

Renége:
oh. There's a couple solutions to that one

Renége:
Skyler did the very, very complicated way

Renége:
and then I showed him the 10 second way

Cyprien:
lol

Renége:
it's a teaching moment though

Cyprien:
I'm just dumb then :V

Renége:
Sink, defeat, close, open

Renége:
they all seem p similar but they have important distinctions

Cyprien:
I started watching Vinny play the first two levels and stopped

Cyprien:
Because I wanted to play it on my own lol

Renége:
you're not dumb it's just unintuitive

Renége:
"Sink" doesn't mean "this thing sinks" necessarily

Renége:
it means "This thing, when on the same tile as another object, will be deleted, along with the other object"

Renége:
which is a lot to squeeze into one word.

Renége:
either solution you go for will use the word Wall.

Cyprien:
...

Cyprien:
I pushed the sink into the jellyfish

Cyprien:
And I won.

Renége:
that's the easy one.

Renége:
can't believe Wrk's skipping out

Renége:
why do I have to share a hairstyle with the bimbo anyway

Renége:
I'm not CHANGING it it just bothers me

Cyprien:
Don't worry, we won't compare the fact that she's much cuter and has a way bigger chest.

Renége:
See. Here's the thing. I don't believe that.

Renége:
I'd knock myself out if I had those

Cyprien:
I mean

Cyprien:
It's not our fault that she's cute and fun and has a big chest.

Sous Shi:
yea

Sous Shi:
you're just jealous

Cyprien:
You need to play nice.

Renége:
maybe a little

Renége:
I'd never admit it though

Renége:
she a hoe

Sous Shi:
renee is far more a hoe

Sous Shi:
sue's just happy

Renége:
I'm still gonna call her a hoe

Renége:
Also on the list of being called a hoe: wrk

Ethan:
Alright Chel

Ethan:
let's get to it

Chelsea:
I guessss

Ethan:
The year is 20XX.

Chelsea:
We're gonna stab this guy in the head.

Ethan:
Oh, SO many times.

Ethan:
alright so

Ethan:

Ethan:
I was thinking of maybe shelving the Team U thing for another day

Ethan:
but

Ethan:
no

Ethan:
no no no no we're doin this

Ethan:
Morgan's gonna get FUCKED.

Chelsea:
I have no time to do anything actually involving my actual character.

Ethan:
yeah.

Chelsea:
We're starting about two and a half hours after I thought we would soooooooo

Chelsea:
I've got like three hours lol
Thrice:
Go ahead and get on the mappe
Thrice:
there's a new one up
Tokens dropped onto map 'Reverse Polarity' by player Ci Tsukino (Player)

Ethan:
Do we have any co-workers
Thrice:
you do
Butts has connected.
Thrice:
But I'm waiting for Wrk
Butts:
im alive
Thrice:
Hello Wrk, I was waiting for you
Agi:
he's dead.
Butts:
oh lord
Butts:
what is this
Agi:
Or at least he's boutta be
Thrice:
You want the Reverse Polarity map
Agi:
depends where ar you
Butts:
that is where i am
Thrice:
You've all answered the call for: Barc Out! Issued by the Reverse Polarity barcade in Waratel Rise, this Beat asks that you give the poor owner a hand, as his help is unfortunately absent, and he can't run the whole place by himself. You'll need to run to customers' aid, whip up their orders, help set up equipment, and who knows what else?

Young Owner:
You trod on into the Barcade just as it's opening up. A man you suspect to be the owner stops playing air hockey with himself as you walk in. He clears his throat before addressing you, "Oh! Yo. Uh. Didn't think you'd be here already. You're the Team that took up my Mission, right?"
Butts:
do we wanna VC
Ruffled Kid: (( did you guys play Velocity mostly in VC? ))
Butts:
is this where ur all gonna npc
Butts: (( we def were in vc like 90% of the time at least ))
Ruffled Kid: (( let me go down to the computer where the mic works. ))
Agi is disconnected.

Morgan:
"Hi! Yeah, uh, but it's just me for this one."
Agi has connected.

Morgan:
"What do you exactly need help with?"
Agi: (( Jason is on the computer where the mic works. ))

Young Owner:
indeed

Young Owner:
for the 7th hour today
Panicked Girl: (( I'm all sniffly anyway, so it's probably best I don't voice chat lol ))

Young Owner:
"Huh? Well, uh." He looks over at the other two in the arcade, "Three people should be enough. You got any experience?"

Ruffled Kid:
"Yeah, whatever. This is an arcade, right?" Ethan sniffs and looks around the place, assessing it. He likes what he sees.
Morgan: (( rip ok ))

Panicked Girl:
"H-...hello, master...I-...I-...I mean mister!" The girl buries her face in her hands, "I-..I'm sorry! I forgot it's not that kind of placeeeee!"

Ruffled Kid:
"Oh, sweet, they have MK IX here?"

Young Owner:
"Yo, it can be if you want."
Thrice:
From the looks of this place, you're gonna be running around. The barcade is way bigger than you'd expect from the map--from such a low-profile area. The bottom floor is huge, split into the arcade and cafe, and there's an upstairs balcony that wraps around the top, overlooking the bottom floor, with more machines and tables

Panicked Girl:
"Uwaaaaaaah...!" She trembles in place, face still buried in her hands as she looks like she's about to double over and start crying.

Morgan:
"Uh, like with computers or customer servie or just playing video games?" Morgan gazes around the room and silently judges these weirdos.

Young Owner:
"Yes."

Ruffled Kid:
"Jeez..." the kid wipes his forehead with his sleeve, grinning devilishly. His companion's cry pulls him out of it though. "Chel, pull yourself together, come on. You wanted to do this in the first place..."

Morgan:
"Then... yes."

Young Owner:
"You read the mission, right? It's just me, I need all the help I can get. We got a few regulars who I got not doubt'll be here soon, so!" He claps his hands, "Shape up, kids! You'll survive, I promise."

Panicked Girl:
The girl's sniffles come to an eventual halt, "Y-..you're right Ethan, I'm sorry...I-..I can do this!"

Morgan:
Morgan turns to the other volunteers. "Hi, I'm Morgan. Are you two together?"

Morgan:
"Er, on a team, I mean."

Morgan:
lol volunteers

Ruffled Kid:
The kid's face sours when Morgan addresses him. He looks down and away. "We're just here for the job," he grumbles.

Young Owner:
"Hey now. Get along, kiddies." He's gonna keep calling you that even if he's almost definitely younger than Morgan

Young Owner:
"I'mma go fire up the cafe, if anyone comes in looking for food, stall 'em."

Panicked Girl:
"Y-..yes sir!"

Ruffled Kid:
"This place is crazy. Wonder what they have for prizes...?" Apart from the giant stuffed animals, of course. Those are mandatory.

Young Owner:
He shuffles off to the cafe half of the ground floor, leaving you alone for the time being

Young Owner:
It's got hella stuffed animals, along with some lower end stuff like candy, but the #1 prize is actually some hella cool soap shoes

Ruffled Kid:
"Hey, soulless. We've got time to kill. Think you can take me?" The kid nods to the endless rows of machines.

Panicked Girl:
The pink haired girl shifts about awkwardly; seemingly very self-conscious of her waitress outfit that appears to be a size to small. "A-..ah...are you sure we have time to play games..?"
Panicked Girl: (( Yeah, roast that ginger :V ))

Morgan:
"Soulless?" Morgan rolls his eyes then awkwardly laughs. "Oh, the hair. Yeah, kid, I gotchu."

Ruffled Kid:
"He's not even having us do anything yet, he just wants us to stall people. We can give them a show of me beating this guy down."

Ruffled Kid:
"Flame on, then. What's your game? Marvel? Cruisin'?" He peeks over. "I think they got in some of those new Tetris machines..."
Thrice:
There's all sorts of games here, from air hockey and billiards to actual fighting games to KING OF FIGHTERS 1998 ON THE SEGA GENESIS and other such bootleg emulation shit

Ruffled Kid:
"I bet he's too old to even know what a T-spin is."

Morgan:
"Haha, oh kid... Lemme get that Tetris."

Morgan:
"How are you even old enough to know what that is?"

Ruffled Kid:
"Uh, duh? It's one of the biggest things right now."
Thrice:
This takes place before valentines day remember

Panicked Girl:
"Oh! I saw Ethan get a whole bunch of uhhhh..what did you say they were called? All-Clears?"
Thrice:
unless this is an AU where Tetris 99 came out in January instead of February 13th
Ruffled Kid: (( Puyo Puyo Tetris was still a thing. ))
Ruffled Kid: (( it was kind of big. ))
Ruffled Kid: (( Big enough for a dumb kid who got into it to think it's big anyway ))

Panicked Girl:
"He's basically a pro, I think...!" The older girl walks up to the moody kid and ruffles his hair.

Ruffled Kid:
"H-hey, don't-!" Ethan shrinks down and pulls his hoodie over his head, sulking.

Morgan:
"Wowza, so do you have like a medal or something?" he jokes.

Ruffled Kid:
"I-i'm diamond rank 2..." he mumbles through his hood

Digo:
You ain't alone for too long. The doors are FLUNG OPEN as a short teen in a beanie POWER STRIDES in like he owns the place, "Oh-ho ho, we got NEWBIES, do we? You guys come here just to crimp my style?!"

Morgan:
the fuk

Morgan:
"Hmm, might have to take an IOU on that game."

Karaz:
His friend comes in after, catching the doors before they slam shut, "Uh, hey. Yo, you guys new customers? I ain't seen you around before!"

Ruffled Kid:
"What? No, you can't- I-i mean, backing out, huh? I don't know why I expected more."

Panicked Girl:
"H-...hello, sirs!" The girl thrusts her chest out and gives them a very panicked greeting, "Welcome to this fine establishment...!"

Morgan:
"Shh, it's okay, I'll beat you after we take care of these customers."

Morgan:
agi ru practicing ur lewds

Ruffled Kid:
(Oh, she's realllly getting into this...)
Ruffled Kid: (( which lewds ))

Digo:
"Well, hello there. You, you can stay."

Morgan:
"Ew. Anyways, we're... temps."

Ruffled Kid:
"Yeah. You guys here for the games or the food?"

Ruffled Kid:
"Because of the two, we've got one of them right now."

Karaz:
"H-huh? Wait, does that mean the gang's not here?"

Digo:
"Uh, both, duh. It's a barcade. What's the point if you only do one or the other??"

Panicked Girl:
"A-...a gang? I-...I really hope not..." The girl begins tearing up at the very thought of it, "T-..the food will be available shortly, I-...I hope you can forgive the inconvenience...!"

Karaz:
Karaz eyes the three of you, maybe Super Panicko a bit longer than Morgan or Rufflet, "Are you guys not gonna do any cooking?"

Karaz:
"S-sorry! I didn't mean to make you cry! I meant, you know, a gang of friends! Not, uh, gangsters. Those don't come here that often."

Ruffled Kid:
lying
Morgan: (( isnt a rufflet a pokemon ))
Ruffled Kid: (( yes it is my spirit animal ))

Panicked Girl:
"P-...please make yourselves comfortable!" She gives them a brief sniffle-laden bow.

Digo:
"Oh, I could get real comfortable right now, knowwhameen? SO. If you can't get me any food, newbies, then set up a game. Show me what you got."

Ruffled Kid:
"Well, we were just about to throw down with the Tetris machine. This guy was using you as an excuse to dip out of it, though."

Ruffled Kid:
"Kind of a wuss move if you ask me."

Panicked Girl:
"Truly shameful...!"

Ruffled Kid:
"BUT, maybe it's my fault. My aura's too strong for him. You might make a better first opponent."

Morgan:
"Excuse me? Uh, ok, you know what, I'll play winner."

Ruffled Kid:
"Oh, no. I insist, I don't need the warmup."

Digo:
Digo narrows his eyes, aggressively adjusting his beanie as he struts up to Rufio, "Oh, yeah, kid? You think, you have the SHEER AUDACITY to entertain the very NOTION, that YOU have what it takes to challenge the UNDISPUTED CHAMPION of this arcade??"

Karaz:
"Dude, just cause nobody wants to play with you, that doesn't mean you--"

Digo:
"QUIET, KARAZ. He has insulted me, and he will pay."

Ruffled Kid:
"Right. While we're playing anyway - hell do you guys want? I think the pretzel machine takes a minute to warm up."

Panicked Girl:
"Uwaaah~ Ethaaaaaan, you're not supposed to talk like that...! You're supposed to be like, 'What can I get for my hungry master today? Teehee~' It sounds so much better...!"

Morgan:
"I'm not sure we're supposed to talk like that either."

Ruffled Kid:
"Chel, I think you're the only one of us who can get away with that..."

Ruffled Kid:
"Also don't say my nammmmme we're supposed to be doing the tag thingggg"

Morgan:
"Aw, but Ethan's a cute name."

Ruffled Kid:
He buries his face in his hoodie and points back to her. "Sure. What she said. You hungry or what?"

Karaz:
"W-wait, you call us Master?? Whoa....this' a way better deal..."

Karaz:
"Hey, how long are you guys gonna be working here?"

Morgan:
"No, it's just her, and hopefully just today."

Digo:
"How can I think about food at a time like this?! My honor is on the line, knave!"

Karaz:
"Uh, I'll have cheesesticks..."

Ruffled Kid:
"At least someone here is serious. One of you two got the cheesesticks?"

Panicked Girl:
The young girl suddenly has a pen and notepad in hand, "1 chz stk, crazy on the sauce?"

Karaz:
"Yes, please!"

Karaz:
whatever you say boobie lady

Ruffled Kid:
"Alright, looks like these machines are paired."

Digo:
"Name your game, fool! After I've put you in your place, then you will wait my table."

Ruffled Kid:
"That go both ways?"

Karaz:
"Uh..so... What made yo guys wanna work here?"

Ruffled Kid:
"Pretty sure the new king will be hungry after taking the throne."

Panicked Girl:
The panicked girl skates off to the kitchen to place the order before she can hear Karaz' question.

Digo:
"Hah! As if you could ever defeat me. Even should the machine glitch out and you win, I don't work here."

Morgan:
"I guess I should watch this."

Morgan:
haha fuck karaz

Karaz:
"Ah-hey...damn... We-well, uh... Aw, man..." Everyone leaves Karaz to die
Ruffled Kid: (( Karaz, eternally blueballed ))

Ruffled Kid:
"Man, I barely work here either."

Ruffled Kid:
"This is literally my job, apparently? Some beat it turned out to be. Whole thing's a joke."

Young Owner:
The owner greats Panic At The Roller Disco as she slides on in, "Yo! I hear customers. Karaz and Digo, right? Can ya handle 'em?"

Ruffled Kid:
"Anyway. Let's see some blocks fall. Take notes, Morgan."

Panicked Girl:
"They're playing Tetris or something with Ethan, got one order of mozz, boss man!" she replies with a completely different demeanor.

Morgan:
"Oh boy."

Young Owner:
"Easy peazy. Oh, here - take these drinks out to 'em. Just make sure Digo doesn't spill anything, kay?"

Digo:
"Beat? Did you say BEAT? You better not be talking smack, you peasant! I'll beat that smirk offf your face!"

Panicked Girl:
"Got it!" She wheels the drinks out to the boys, "Drinks are up, orders are in~! Boss says don't make a mess or it's off with your heads~!"

Ruffled Kid:
"I'd say the same to you but it looks like someone already beat me to it!"

Young Owner:
"Man, I could get used to this whole 'Boss' thing."

Morgan:
Morgan wonders to himself if this is what the Twitch monsters in his chat look like.

Morgan:
"So are you all actually gonna play or..."
Ruffled Kid: (( it absolutely is ))

Ruffled Kid:
"The music selection is just as important as the actual gameplay itself. Give us a sec."
Ruffled Kid: (( how are we actually doing this bc I just have a shit ton of dice to roll. ))

Digo:
i

Digo:
just opened this token for the first time

Digo:
apparently

Morgan:
Morgan drops his bags against the machines and fake yawns.

Digo:
Digo is a Level 4 Commoner

Digo:
in Pathfinder

Ruffled Kid:
checks out

Morgan:
peasant

Ruffled Kid:
(2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 6, 6, 6)

Ruffled Kid:
Keeping that.

Digo:
(3, 5, 5, 6, 6, 6)
Panicked Girl: (( These rolls tho ))

Ruffled Kid:
Ethan starts quickly and efficiently laying down his rows

Digo:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NCwenNiUqOc

Digo:
actual footage of the match

Morgan:
whatre yall even rolling

Ruffled Kid:
Starting to see some aggressive setups now

Morgan:

Ruffled Kid:
Dexterous +2 Knowledge (The Vidja) +4

Ruffled Kid:
I figure these both apply

Digo:
yea

Digo:
Digo has Passion (Beating Noobs)

Ruffled Kid:
"Bit harder when you have to play someone who knows what they're doing, huh?"

Digo:
You and Digo battle it out in the communist masterpiece of gaming, and after a painfully long game of slidin each others blocks around, Ethan comes out on top!!

Morgan:
"Oo, wow, cool, boom. Tetris."

Karaz:
"Oh, uh, hey, thanks for the drinks. Uh...what was your name, again? It's rude to just say 'you'..."

Ruffled Kid:
"Were you even trying with those S blocks? You could've been making lines!"

Digo:
"That one didn't count! This machine is shit!"

Ruffled Kid:
"Same machine, bro!"

Ruffled Kid:
"But yeah I'll give you another, if you can make it to me. Morgan, how 'bout you tag in?"

Panicked Girl:
The girl sort of snaps out of the Tetris based trance, "O-...Oh! Chelsea!"

Young Owner:
From the other side of the room, the owner shouts, "Don't be talking shit about my cabinets, Digo! You'll give me a bad rep1"

Young Owner:
!

Morgan:
"Yeah, sure, why not?"

Morgan:
"Here Digo, you can even use the good machine."

Morgan:
wait a second

Morgan:
i dont even know his name

Morgan:
oir do i

Morgan:
i dont know

Young Owner:
Well this guy just shouted it

Young Owner:
So

Ruffled Kid:
Little D

Morgan:
oh youre right

Ruffled Kid:
I wanna like

Digo:
"You've made a grave mistake, swain!"

Ruffled Kid:
grease it up for him.

Digo:
l-lewd?

Ruffled Kid:
Give it the ol' Agi treatment

Karaz:
"Chelsea, huh? I'm Karaz! This your first time here? Don't think I've ever seen any of you guys before."

Chelsea:
"You did great, Ethan!" She gives the little runt a victory hug, "All those hours of practice and lack of sleep paid off!"

Morgan:
"Alright, alright, alright, let's go duder. Gotta make it quick so I can make sure Chelsea isn't offering your friend anything not on the menu."

Digo:
lewd

Morgan:
digo has thicc lines

Digo:
And sure Ethan can have sweaty-ass hands

Digo:
That'd give Digo a penalty

Ethan:
Ethan accepts this hug with pride. He's on top of the world.

Digo:
BUT ALSO

Digo:
a john

Morgan:
no johns

Ethan:
Dude can keep johning all he wants

Ethan:
That

Ethan:
is the title of this session.

Digo:
(2, 3, 4, 4)

Ethan:
No johns

Digo:
You can probably add Famous to this tbh

Digo:
since you play games as part of your stream

Morgan:
oh shit

Morgan:
im so good at tetris

Ethan:
"Thanks, Chel! I've got this in the bag..."

Morgan:
(1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 3, 4, 6)

Morgan:
LOKL

Ethan:
well that's a tie

Ethan:
Tetris doesn't end in ties.

Ethan:
Reroll

Digo:
"Yeuckh, what's up with this joystick?? Do you ever clean this thing, man?!"

Digo:
(1, 2, 2, 6)

Digo:
I'll kill you

Ethan:
"It was fine when I was using it? Do you ever stop complaining?"

Morgan:
"Hey, if you beat me, I'll give you Jonas' autograph."

Ethan:
"Man, I'm starting to see why your friend said no one wants to play with you."

Morgan:
(1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3)

Morgan:
king of 2s

Ethan:
all dose 2s

Digo:
You play the long game, going for a slow buildup and small, interspersed breaks instead of erasing half the continent at once in a flashy show

Digo:
But whatever the method, you beat Digo handily!

Digo:
"What the hell is up with these rigged machines?!"

Young Owner:
"DIGO I SWEAR TO GOD, I'LL KICK YOUR ASS"

Morgan:
"Shh, no johns. You'll get kicked out."

Chelsea:
Chelsea claps politely, "You played well at least~!"

Karaz:
Karaz sighs, "You don't gotta humor him. Come on, Digo, my food's almost done, let's eat."

Ethan:
"Aw, don't be like that. Just get some food in you before the rematch, aight?"

Ethan:
"Looked like you knew what you were doing when we played, at least."

Chelsea:
"You could say we're new here, I suppose. . ." she says aside to Karaz, "That must be it; you're too hungry to play at your full potential~!"

Digo:
"Mrghrr...FINE, boy, serve me my food!"

Ethan:
"Oh that's right, huh, didn't we decide you were gonna serve me if you lost?"

Digo:
"Uh, no? I don't work here. That's not my job, runt.

Digo:
"

Ethan:
"Riiiight, right, guess that wouldn't make sense. You're the one who got served."

Ethan:
"Lemme go get your grub."

Karaz:
"Oh, shit! Come on, Digo, you're gonna need a drink to cool that burn."

Digo:
Fuming, he shuffles over to the table, and demands a menu

Digo:
Despite Karaz's interjection that he literally eats here every day, he doesn't let up until you bring him the menu

Ethan:
Oh, god, I dunno what's on this thing.'

Digo:
When you hand it over, he shakes his head, "Nuh-uh. I'm not reading it. You are. Rap it to me, knave."

Morgan:
"Oh God, I don't think this kids ever worked a day in his life."

Ethan:
Ethan takes a sec to change into his uniform before getting into the food service part of the job

Morgan:
"Do you not know what's on the menu by now?"

Ethan:
"Wh- rap it to you? You kidding me?" Ethan shoots a curious look towards (OWNER MAN)

Young Owner:
He shrugs, "Customer's always right, man. Long as it ain't about my cabinets."

Chelsea:
"Y-..you can do it, Ethan!" She gives him an encouraging nudge.

Morgan:
Morgan smirks and resists the temptation to record a video of the upcoming trainwreck."

Ethan:
Ethan glares back at him, before returning his look to Digo. "S-sure, I guess. Does uh, does someone have a beat?"

Digo:
Digo does not.

Morgan:
"Just do it a capella!"

Young Owner:
Karaz looks like he's about to say something, but Bossman shuts him down, "None of that weeb shit today, Karaz." He turns on the overhead speakers and pumps out a fresh beat for you
Ethan: (( You'd best be supplying a beat. ))
Ethan: (( Rapping about shitty bar food, god damn ))
Chelsea: (( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-UIn2xq-tOE ))
Ethan: (( fuck that's good ))

Morgan:
"Oh boy..."

Ethan:
Put right the fuck on the spot, every ounce of blood in Ethan's body finds its way to his face.

Ethan:
"C-chicken... bur-g-g-ger..." he coughs. "A--a-a-aaa-nd..." He coughs again, this time blood comes out. "Oh, sh--" he grabs a bunch of napkins from their table, slams the menu down, and bolts.

Digo:
"HEY, get back here! Don't think dying of embarrassment gets you outta this!!"

Chelsea:
"Uwaaaah~! Ethaaaaaaaaaan!"

Morgan:
"Oh my god, is he okay?"

Chelsea:
Crybaby level two kicks in and she starts sobbing uncontrollably.

Ethan:
binch I got Shy L2 kicking in I'm locking myself in the bathroom forever.

Karaz:
"He-hey it'll be fine, there's no need to cry! Aw man, what's goin' on..."

Young Owner:
"...I'll handle this. Just keep an eye out for other customers, okay?"

Young Owner:
He strides up to the bathroom and knocks, "Dude, you gonna be okay? You sick or something? I can, like, let ya go home if you need to."

Young Owner:
"Come on now, you can't hide in there forever. You think I don't have a key to my own bathroom?"
Ethan: (( unless there's a window to escape out of. ))

Chelsea:
"E-...Ethan..." she says through sniffles, "C-...can you come out...?"

Morgan:
"So, um," Morgan turns to the customers. "Are there any other regulars we should be expecting?"
Ethan: (( No window then huh ))

Karaz:
"Uh...I mean, I guess, but they don't usually show up for a while."
Thrice:
Not that you could fit through
Ethan: (( I'm going to try anyway. ))

Ethan:
"Go away! I'm pooping!"

Morgan:
gross

Chelsea:
"D-..don't lie to me..." She sniffles again
Thrice:
Just as he finishes saying that, the door jingle goes off in the arcade half of the building. A few seconds later, a tired female voice rings out, "Heeeey, anyone here?? I swear to god, if I came all this way for nothing, I'm beating your fuckin' face in."
Thrice:
yeah, you don't poop
Thrice:
nobody poops
Chelsea: (( It'd be a real weird transition. If he just went from coughing up blood to just taking a dump ))

Young Owner:
"Yeah, well, you better hurry up in there, cause I'm comin' in soon!"
Ethan: (( It's the story he wants you to believe. ))

Ethan:
"Just hold it, man!"

Young Owner:
"Yo, did I hear the bell go off? Can one of you go get that?"

Morgan:
"Oh, gosh, more people, I'll get that."
Chelsea: (( Pressing X to doubt. ))

Morgan:
Morgan walks over to the game room, "God what weirdo is gonna pop up now?"

Casual Woman:
There's a redheaded lady holding a big brown parcel of some sort, "Special de--wait, I recognize you. You're that X guy, right? The one who's way too old for this shit?"
Chelsea: (( Roasted. ))

Morgan:
"Too old? Is this town run by toddlers?"

Morgan:
"I mean, yeah, I'm on X?"

Casual Woman:
The combination of voice, tone, and hair clues you in that this is the shopkeeper from the other day

Ethan:
After waiting what feels like long enough, Ethan cracks the bathroom door open. He has tissues shoved up both his nostrils.
Ethan: (( she appears to have undergone a tiddieectomy ))

Casual Woman:
"Look, most of the people around here are, like, late teens at best."

Casual Woman:
nah she's just wearing a loose shirt

Casual Woman:
"So you and me? We may as well be ancient."

Chelsea:
"You feel better yet..?"

Young Owner:
"Kid, you want me to come in, or should I give your friend the key?"

Young Owner:
oh you already opened the door

Young Owner:
my b

Ethan:
"Do they have their food yet?"

Young Owner:
"That's better. Come on out. Need first aid or something? Want some gummy worms to cheer you up? They're, like, basically free."

Morgan:
"Oh, it's you from the shop. My mistake, how've you been? Is that package for the owner?"

Ethan:
"I'm fine, just... can I clear quarters out of the machines or something?"

Casual Woman:
"Yeah. I'd prefer to deliver it personally, though. No offense, but it's kinda...sensitive."
Ethan: (( oh god she has the dildo delivery ))

Morgan:
oh gosh oh gosh

Ethan:
"Chel seemed to have the customer service thing on lock."

Casual Woman:
"Don;'t want other people finding out about his Bad Dragon addiction."

Casual Woman:
"Oops."
Ethan: (( niiiice. ))

Young Owner:
"Wha? Oh, no, dude. I meant like, basically free for me. I'll give 'em to you for nothing."

Morgan:
"You are right, I didn't need to hear that and I guess I just won't look him in the eyes ever again. This way."

Ethan:
"I guess I'll take the gummy worms," he says sheepishly.

Ethan:
"But that's not what I meant."

Morgan:
throw them

Chelsea:
"Y-..you can go do something like that, Ethan..I can service the customers..! I-..I promise I won't even cry anymore..!"

Ethan:
>service the customers

Ethan:
you're gonna make me need more tissues
Chelsea: (( Worded intentionally :V ))

Young Owner:
He tosses he gummy worms at you
Ethan: (( I had imagined ))

Young Owner:
"Catch."

Ethan:
(1, 2, 2, 4)

Casual Woman:
"...lotta people here today. These your replacements?"
Ethan: (( Oh god, is this Manny? ))
Ethan: (( We never did get his name. ))

Morgan:
oh no

Young Owner:
"Oh, yo! Wassup, C?"

Morgan:
"She has um, a delivery."

Casual Woman:
"Not much, dumbass. I brought your shit."

Morgan:
"I definitely don't know what's inside."

Morgan:
"Are you eating gummy worms on the job?"

Ethan:
"No. I am."

Ethan:
"You want one?"

Young Owner:
"Niiiiice! I've been looking forward to that so long! Really gonna help me get back in the groove, ya know? Been feelin' kinda down and out lately."

Ethan:
"You can have some too, Chel. Just make sure those idiots get their food."

Karaz:
"Uh, y-you don't need to worry about us. It's okay, really, take your time!"

Chelsea:
"I-...I don't really want any...I just wanna make sure you're okay..."

Ethan:
"Why are those idiots in earshot?"

Morgan:
"I'm okay, I prefer the other kind. Can you stop insulting the idiots?"

Chelsea:
"Ethaaaaaaan..." she whimpers, "HE'S SORRY AND SAYS HE HOPES YOU ENJOY YOUR MEAL!"

Morgan:
"You're stressing out the girl."

Digo:
"IF I DON'T HAVE MY BURGER IN THREE MINUTES, SO HELP ME GOD, I'M SHOVING A T-BLOCK UP YOUR ASS, SCRUB"

Casual Woman:
"Why the fuck do you let this guy in here?"

Ethan:
"BURGER, THERE IT IS. WAS THAT SO HARD?"

Young Owner:
The owner grips his package firmly, "Heeey...actually, you guys wanna help me test this bad boy out?"

Ethan:
oh no

Morgan:
"NO."

Morgan:
"I mean, Ethan will!"

Ethan:
"I will what? You got something new to play?"

Morgan:
o my

Young Owner:
"To play with."

Young Owner:
"It's awesome, got it specially made. Oughta fit me like a glove."

Ethan:
"Let me get their plates ready. Chel, you've got the food on lock, right?"

Young Owner:
"Well I say 'it' but it's more like 'them'; not much you can do with just one, right?"

Morgan:
"I should've taken the other mission..."

Ethan:
"Some sort of two-player thing?"

Chelsea:
"R-..right! Food!"
Chelsea: (( Did he already make it or does he expect us to *COOK* too?! ))
Ethan: (( I have no idea what our actual jobs are. ))
Ethan: (( Apparently mine is to get railed. ))

Young Owner:
the mozz sticks are frying but you gotta make that burg

Young Owner:
he's waitin

Ethan:
we're basically the worst employees.

Morgan:
"Have you... made a burger?"

Chelsea:
Chelsea skates back to the kitchen, hoping for the best!

Shopkeeper:
"Anyway, that was good for a laugh or two. See ya." She stops on her way out the back door, and turns to Morgan, "Oh, you - if you're looking for random work, stop by the shop sometime. I got some deliveries I want made, and I figure 1st place oughta be able to handle it."

Shopkeeper:
"Might wanna bring your teammates."
Chelsea: (( Ask her name ))

Morgan:
"Sure thing, I'll hit you up when I'm done with whatever... this is."

Morgan:
"What's your name?"

Morgan:
whodidthat

Morgan:
im being controlled

Shopkeeper:
"Oh, you want my number, too, hot shot? My name...well you don't get to know that, yet. Call me by my tag, Crimzen."
Chelsea: (( SHE SAID THE THING. ))

Chelsea:
I cook borg.
Ethan: (( Crimzen is a strong tag. ))

Shopkeeper:
u better roll for that burg

Ethan:
"Okay, so, what exactly you got in that package?"

Ethan:
"The ginger kept chuckling to himself..."
Chelsea: (( It's better to fuck up a burg and ask for forgiveness. ))

Morgan:
Morgan smiles. "Alright, later Crimzen."
Chelsea: (( Because I don't think I have anything to help me make borg ))

Morgan:
"Open the box, Ethan. It's your destiny."
Ethan: (( Roll for borg. ))
Morgan: (( i could go for a borg rn ))
Ethan: (( Roll for borg MT. ))
Ethan: (( It is a bar borg, it caps out at like, 3. ))

Young Owner:
He sloooowly unravels the package, cutting off the tape, "Oh man, just wait till ya see; they're wicked AF! This shit's come far in the past coupla years. Back when I was into this, they were still working out the kinks, and the ride was kinda bumpy, you know? Not always comfortable."

Morgan:
"I need to stop hearing this..."

Ethan:
Ethan didn't even hear that they were dildos, wouldn't GUESS that they were dildos, but is still getting uncomfortable by how excited the ownerman is
Chelsea: (( Well let's see. I'm intuitive, I could be smart about making borg...and I'm quick...but I'm also clumsy... ))

Ethan:
"Yeah, okay..."

Young Owner:
He opens up the box to reveal....A pair of shoes? "Man, look at that shine! They're the same ones I've got on display in the arcade, but I just had to try these suckers out for myself. The latest and greatest in soap tech."

Young Owner:
Intuitive and Quick both apply, but so do Clumsy and Unlucky

Young Owner:
So you get a total of +2
Ethan: (( oh Soap is a brand? ))

Chelsea:
(3, 3, 4, 5)

Morgan:
Morgan is entirely confused but also lets out the biggest sigh of relief. "Soap tech? Is this what the hypebeasts are on now?"
Chelsea: (( Big borg. ))

Crimzen:
Crimzen actually does give you her number, btw, since it'd just be impractical otherwise

Crimzen:
Xiri judges you for tryna pick up chicks already
Ethan: (( Shit. Ethan's into shoes but I am 100% not into shoes and don't know the language to talk about them ))

Young Owner:
so ethan has a foot fetish huh

Young Owner:
go ask Jason

Young Owner:
he'll know
Chelsea: (( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LllJSzf-92U ))

Ethan:
"Oh, nice!"

Karaz:
"Hah! You still stuck on those things, man, eh? Come on, haven't you recognized the superiority of boards, yet? It's been, like, five...years..."

Morgan:
who is heEeee
Chelsea: (( How'd my borg turn out ))
Chelsea: (( Manny was a runner, sooooo ))

Young Owner:
"Uh, yeah. Shut up, Karaz, I'd whoop you on these. Come on, kid, you wanna race or somethin'? You guys're the top team, right? You can handle me, can't you?"

Ethan:
"I saved up so many months of allowance for a pair like that - only to have the new model come out a couple weeks later. Kinda crappy how that works out, huh?"

Morgan:
"Aw, he still has an allowance."

Young Owner:
he IS talking to Ethan here, he just sorta assumes you guys are on the same team since there's three of you and he's probably forgotten Morgan mentioning anything

Ethan:
"Yeah. I'm a kid. Tends to happen, grandpa."

Chelsea:
Chelsea wheels out the burg and the mozz after a while, "Food is ready~ Thank you for waiting~"

Young Owner:
"Hah! Even us adults can't afford to splurge like this all the time."
Thrice:
THE BURG IS
Chelsea: (( You better hope that roll was high enough Digo. ))

Ethan:
"Wh- top team?"
Thrice:
unremarkable.

Morgan:
"Yo, I'm not on a team with these whippersnappers."
Thrice:
It's fine, really - better than a lot of bar food. But it won't be winning any awards

Ethan:
"No, no no no nononono. That's just him."

Chelsea:
"Hmm? You didn't notice, Ethan?"

Chelsea:
"He's that big shot on Twatter with Team X, no?"

Morgan:
twatter lol

Ethan:
"Yeah, I noticed. Why'd you think I called him soulless?"
Chelsea: (( I'm intuitive and keep up on that shit :V ))

Digo:
"HMPH! You call THIS a burger?? The patty has CLEARLY been overcooked on the underside - and the pickles are all out of alignment!"
Morgan: (( the pickles ))

Karaz:
"Whoa - hey, dude, come on! It's fine, man!"
Chelsea: (( STILL. NO. PICKLES..." ))

Morgan:
"Shh, it's ok, you just have less points."

Morgan:
"And you're worse at Tetris. There, there."

Ethan:
Ethan strides right up and yoinks the burger out of Digo's hands.

Morgan:
digo leaves bad yelp review
Morgan: (( whatever yelp is ))

Digo:
"Yeah, that's right! Remake it!"

Digo:
a bad Help! review

Ethan:
He takes a big, meaty bite out of it, and chews determinedly.
Chelsea: (( BIG. MEATY. CLAWS. ))
Chelsea: (( Sorry, I've got Spongebob on my mind now ))

Morgan:
"Uh, I don't think you're supposed to do that in most restaurants."

Young Owner:
"Yo, man, I getcha, but uh - you can't eat the customer's food."

Ethan:
And after swallowing, states boldly, "This is the best burger I've ever tasted. You don't know anything. You better apologize."

Chelsea:
"A-..ahhh..." Chelsea's face lights up, "E-..Ethan..." she sniffles.

Digo:
"I better get back a burger AND the bite you took!!"

Young Owner:
"What? No. Gross."

Morgan:
"Ugh, this is so hormonal."

Ethan:
"You're never getting this bite back. Body's already working on converting it into gaming skill."

Ethan:
"Chel, make my man another just like this. I'm going to watch him eat it."

Ethan:
"And he WILL like it."

Chelsea:
Chelsea rolls back a bit before rolling off into the kitchen, "I'm on it...!"
Chelsea: (( Watch this one be way worse rofl ))

Chelsea:
(2, 5, 6, 6)
Chelsea: (( Hot damn, as they say. ))

Young Owner:
The owner rubs his temples, "Who do you think is in charge of this place, again? Well, it's not wrong...Digo, stop harassing my employees."

Ethan:
"Got it coming, Chel?"

Chelsea:
Chelsea wheels out the burger, "Done!"
Thrice:
This time you pour your PASSION and BURNING HATRED OF DIGO into the burger, as they say - loathing is the best spice

Morgan:
"Ooh, this one looks pretty good, not gonna lie..."

Digo:
"I'll be the judge of THAT." Digo stares you down as he takes a bite, but can't hide his enjoyment, "Huh...so you CAN do it after all. Why didn't you do that the FIRST TIME? Just don't try until someone complains?"

Morgan:
"Dang dude, you'll complain about anything."

Ethan:
Ethan lays a few gummy worms on the plate. =)

Ethan:
that was the shape of the gummy worms.

Karaz:
"Digo, come on! Why're you bein' such a dick today?"
Chelsea: (( Shadow Digo, the true self. ))

Digo:
"It'll build their CHARACTER. They look like they need it."

Ethan:
"He wouldn't be getting away with it if you guys weren't the only customers we got this whole time."

Ethan:
"Are you sure you even needed the extra help today?"

Digo:
Speaking of which, the bell goes off again. and again

Young Owner:
"Not until now. Time for the lunch rush..."

Ethan:
"Oh. Ohh. That's... oh that's a whole group of them innit"

Young Owner:
"You know, you never appreciate people until they're not around to do your job for you."

Young Owner:
"I miss Fifi already..."

Morgan:
"Where even are your employees?"

Ethan:
"Right, I'll start taking orders. Anyone who asks for a rap read gets punched."

Ethan:
those are my terms and I will not budge.

Young Owner:
"They're out and about. Well, one was never any help anyway."

Morgan:
"Please don't punch the customers," Morgan says as he quietly writes "Ask our waiters to rap!" on a napkin.
Chelsea: (( You'll always be Fifi to me-me!" ))
Chelsea: (( RIP Everyone But Skorp ))

Digo:
Digo snarfs down his borg and stretches, "OKAY. Time to play a REAL game and whoop these scrubs."
Ethan: (( I think we're past the time MT wanted to stay up anyway ))

Digo:
yee
Ethan: (( One last tetris roll for the road? ))

Ethan:
oh she's cute

Digo:
More customers file in, taking to the machines and foods

Morgan:
eskittet
Chelsea: (( Yeah, I just drank my Nyquil so I won't be here much longer. ))

Digo:
the whole bottle

Morgan:
my god

Morgan:
ru ok

Ethan:
I have injested one (1) weed

Digo:
I read that as injected

Digo:
and was worried

Ethan:
you do not inject weed(s)

Ethan:
(2, 3, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 6)

Digo:
(1, 1, 5, 5, 5, 5)

Ethan:
fek

Digo:
I

Digo:
see
Chelsea: (( Y'all both reach the kill screen ))

Morgan:
simulkilltris

Ethan:
we didn't let a tie stand last time

Ethan:
(3, 4, 4, 5, 5, 5, 6, 6)

Digo:
(2, 2, 4, 4, 6, 6)

Digo:
damm

Ethan:
ha HA

Digo:
Digo starts gloating and spills his drink on the machine!
Chelsea: (( If you all want to keep going you can just say I'm cooking mediocre to great borgs so we can get back to full party next time. ))
Chelsea: (( Maybe leave off at the very end so we can say anything before we go separate ways ))

Ethan:
"Shit, man! Not cool!" Ethan throws his whole body on the machine in lieu of a towel

Young Owner:
"DIGO YOU'RE CLEANING THA--oh okay I mean sure I guess"

Ethan:
"He's still cleaning it! Get a towel!"
Morgan: (( do we keep goin ))
Ethan: (( naw I'm good ))

Gamer:
Gamer rises up off his machine only to double over in laughter, "HAHAHA, what a fuckin' nerd!" you dunno whether he's laughing at you or Deegs but either way it is the correct thing to do

Ethan:
oh my god I just noticed Skit

Ethan:
I haven't seen that face in years

Gamer:
Haven't seen this one in years either

Ethan:
he looks familiar, was that your Tuco

Gamer:
it was
Chelsea: (( Let's fuck up Jeremy, that motherfucker has QuickMan.EXE and deserves to die. ))

Ethan:
anyway yea that was filler as fuck but still p fun in the end

Jeremy:
he hacks into the arcade cabinets and sets off a GIANT FLOOD to wipe out Waratel Rise
Chelsea: (( FUCK THIS GUY, FUCK SPEEDY DAVE. ))

Crimzen:
It led to you learning the identity of the shopkeeper at least

Ethan:
Morgan could've seen the owner's name on the package

Ethan:
I guess I could have too but Morgan had the better angle
Chelsea: (( Box is still there. ))

Crimzen:
The name got ripped off with some of the packaging, so most of it's gone. All that's left are the first two letters, Ja

Morgan:
Ja Rule looks weird in this universe

Morgan:
quick, extend this filler for another one so I can learn his name

Ethan:
sure I'll go dry myself off next to the quiet girl

Crimzen:
Ethan runs up to her and takes his shirt off right next to her

Morgan:
wait i was kidding nvm

Ethan:
oh well fine then

Ethan:
still gonna do it and make small talk with her off-camera though

Ethan:
talk about how shitty Digo is

Morgan:
idk how to do it naturally oops

Crimzen:
walk up confidently, slap him on the ass, and ask for his contact info

Crimzen:
do the same with chelsea

Ethan:
also gonna talk to her about the game

Ethan:
I don't think she's on a team but maybe she's heard about it/has opinions

Crimzen:
She probably remembers something like that happening five years ago, but didn't realize it was going on again and gets a little panicky about the thought

Chelsea:
The Chad Ethan vs the Virgin Digo

Karaz:
at least no one made fun of my shirt

Chelsea:
You're at a barcade

Chelsea:
It's expected.

Ethan:
tbh he somehow pulls it off.

Chelsea:
I totally spat in Digo's second burger.

Ethan:
Good.

Karaz:
lewd

Chelsea:
That's why it tasted better.

Ethan:
I will unconditionally stand up for you.

Chelsea:
My favorite little bro

Ethan:
not that it's difficult to stand up to Digo

Ethan:
he's what we call a chodewaffle

Karaz:
You're at a barcade

Karaz:
It's expected.

Morgan:
i didnt even notice his shirt oh no

Ethan:
it's cute

Ethan:
Catgirl with a tie

Ethan:
dude's pulling off the pink

Chelsea:
Next session we eat Morgan

Karaz:
agi only likes it bc the catgirl has shoulders

Karaz:
Why would you eat Morgan when Crimzen and Chelsea are like right there

Morgan:
do it

Morgan:
ok im passing out see u all next sesssiooOoOOoon woo
Butts is disconnected.

Chelsea:
I feel that's our angle

Ethan:
You will never get me to actually rap.

Chelsea:
Morgan didn't help much, he's just taking the easy missions when his team is already way in the lead. So he's just basically ganking the newb points

Chelsea:
From the teams that sorely need them :V

Crimzen:
and yet he's the one who got invited by the shopkeeper

Crimzen:
Your team probably met the OTHER shopkeeper, Lady Minerva

Crimzen:
she a big ol woman

Chelsea:
I can't believe Manny runs a barcade

Ethan:
You got a size too small and I got a size too big

Ethan:
we should switch

Jeremy:
Manny? Psh naw. Speedy Dave is the king of this 'cade

Chelsea:
Digo didn't age a day

Ethan:
are they still playing the game?

Chelsea:
Which means....

Chelsea:
Karaz never got home to his momma

Karaz:
Rip Karaz's momma
