Laser Tag

Whoever the player Defiant Darling is they certainly seem to be living up to their name. Despite a late start they seem to be catching up quick on the leaderboard. And yet perhaps there might be something afoot here. Some of the players walking out talk about not being able to see as well in there, wondering if something was wrong with the lights. Others mutter about this DD hiding, maybe even breaking the rules somehow. But a couple ramble about some scary shadowy thing in the arena with no head.

On the other hand, whoever this mysterious player is, they seem to be racking up a lot of points for the Pink team.

Within the arena itself, Celty started with a more mundane look, her usual outfit of her black bodysuit and her helmet. But once she got into it (and after being asked to remove the helmet by arcade staff), a dark figure began to slink around in the expanding and darkening shadows of the plyboard maze, a hooded cape flowing in their wake.

Arcade

Once she has her fill of laser tag, as well as a for a while beforehand, Celty can be found in her usual garb off by the crane games. She's having middling success but she surely can't be blamed for that as these games tend to be rigged by default. In fact Japan is known for more gimicky machines, but the stuffed animals are so adorable and she can't help but go a little overbudget in her attempts to collect a family of stuffed cats to take home to her real one.

Onsen

As with her last trip to an Onsen, Celty opts to wait until a little later on before going in. Let everyone have their fun, especially those more mundane people who don't need to know about the spookier side of existence. She can wait.

The black hood and cloak make another appearance as she slips into the women's side of the baths, avoiding the staff and customers as best she can and just letting the haziness of the memory of her relegate her to a figment of the imagination or maybe an urban legend down the line.

Either way, towards the back of the baths as the night reaches its midpoint one can find a headless woman relaxing in the hot water.
