Laser Tag/Arcade/Onsen Open Log

[redmare]

Who: Chinatsu and anyone and everyone!
When: December 6th
Where: The Near Shore
What: Fun times with laser tag, the arcade, food, and onsen at the end! A mingle log for people to just have fun after everything that's happened. Feel free to make your own top levels and just interact with people. Might be a good way to meet some new CR too!

Round 2



Welcome to Round 2! The place to go when one wishes to forget responsibilities, stuff their faces, and legally shoot people! From laser tag to virtual reality to classic arcade games. A place for fun for those with physical prowess to those who prefer to hide behind the safety of their screens. Let your inner kid loose in this mostly judgement free zone. Mostly, because children cant be pretty brutal.

Laser Tag


Whether it be 2 players against each other or full on teams, put on your vests and charge up your guns! Players will be lead into a chamber where they can find their equipment and choose which color to swear allegiance to. Will you choose the pink, blue, purple, green, or white team?



All teams have the same equipment: a vest, a gun attached to it, and an armband. Your armband will display your warrior name, as well as the number of points you’ve accumulated. It will also flash the handle of anyone who has successfully taken a shot at you, in case you want to hunt them down after the game for revenge. Flashing targets are located on a player’s back, shoulders, and chest. The chest will get you 10 points as it is the smallest target. The shoulders will give you 5, and the back will get you 3, because that’s just sneaky. Get to your opponent’s base and aim for for the marker. If you manage to keep it in your team’s color by the end of the game, you win!

After listening to the game rules, the doors will slide open to a pitch black room, glow in the dark spray paint covering the maze of walls inside. A fog machine lets out a continuous stream of smoke, in case your vision wasn’t hampered enough. Watch your step! There are slopes and steps, that can lead you to higher ground or a place to hide. The walls have openings to provide cover and a prime position to attack. When you exit, you can see the rankings on the tv screen to see who earned the most points for bragging rights. 

Please refrain from physically attacking people with either yourself or your gun. Other than that, take down your opponent however you can. Most importantly, have fun!

**An rng will be used to provide your names. Please see the comment below to get one!

Arcade Games



For those that don’t want to get too sweaty or would like something less stressful, check out the arcade! They’ve got kid friendly games like wacman and super bario, and games for the older crowd like Tennant Evil. Try to win some cute but strangely designed stuffed toys in the crane machine or take some purikura. Collect as many tickets as you can and claim a prize from the booth. Please be courteous of other guests and keep in mind that their are children around. So please, watch your language. Or else :)

Food

Seems even the restaurants are into games. Up for a challenge? Can you eat a giant plate of barbecued meat? A 12 inch deep dish pizza? A bowl or ramen that can fit five regular bowls in it? Take on each restaurant's heaviest meal and score some free food! Maybe you’ll even get your face on the wall of fame. Don’t worry, they have regular sized meals too. They’ve got ice cream and crepes for dessert, as well as some very instagram worthy bubble tea drinks.

Onsen

On a more relaxing note, slip into the warm, healing waters of the onsen. Robes, towels, all your bathing needs will be provided. There is a divider between the male and female sections, but you can still hold a conversation with the other side if you speak loud enough. Chat with your friends or even strangers. What better way to get to know someone than by washing their back?

An area is available to have footbaths regardless of gender, as well as common room with massage chairs to sit back and relax in. Have some tea or milk while you're at it! 

Comments

OTA!

[thevanguard]

A. Laser Tag: Alpine Devil is coming for you

[ Yata is on the Pink Team, if only because it was the closest he could get to red, and he is vehemently denying it being actually pink, it's totally Lightish Red.

Whatever his argument, he takes to the laser tag challenge with the same fiery determination and focus as he takes on everything, and he's a really damn good shot, too. Not really great at stealth and sneaking, unfortunately, but he is constantly moving, nimble and quick through the maze, so it makes him a harder target in that aspect of things. There's a fierce grin on his lips as he laughs and crows his way through shots and hits, taking up the game in good spirits and relishing the friendly rivalries, whether it's a free-for-all match or team vs. team. ]

B. Laser Tag Team: 2v2

[ Although Yata works just as well in whatever matches come up between all of them, there is a bit of a pointed rivalry happening between him and Saru throughout the games. Although at one point they do put their rivalry aside to team up against another team of two, taking to the dark maze as partners and working their way in sync with one another to take down whoever else they're up against.

Look out, friends, these two make for a deadly combination, almost seeming to work together with a sort of sixth sense. ]

C. Arcade Games

[ When he's not taking part in the laser tag matches, it's never very hard to find Yata in the video game section. He loves these sort of things, although he has varying success at them, depending on the type of games they are. Still, the ones that he is good at occasionally draw crowds of watchers as he ranks up high scores and comes away with a prize.

Most of these are handed out to one of the children nearby, however, whoever catches his eye while he plays. Although this does get him a following through the arcade eventually of small children, which he doesn't really know what to do with. Other than to keep winning until everyone gets a prize, at least. He can manage that much, he thinks? ]

D. FOOD!

Food challenges?!

[ Yata gapes at the posters that advertise this in amazement as he wanders into the restaurant area, then his face lights up in delight that there is a challenge to be found even here. ]

Hell yeah! This is awesome! Hey, wanna do one??

[ You just happened to be the unlucky person standing beside him at the moment. Oops? ]

E. Onsen

[ Unlike in the arcade, Yata's feeling a little out of his element here, because this felt like the sort of treat he didn't really belong at. So he might be hovering uncertainly somewhere, not really sure where he should go, or if he should even be here at all.

There are too many choices. And none of them involve shooting things. Clearly, he does not belong here? ]

Onsen wohoo

[futhark]

[ The uncertainty in the choice makes him quite visible. Public baths might make some uncomfortable, but Caster is feeling helpful (hah!) so he suggests as he passes by ]

Male section is here, female on the opposite side. Choose wisely.

[thevanguard]

[ Yata gives a startled jolt at the voice from behind him, having not even heard someone else approach. Stifled yelp giving away how much Caster had surprised him, he shoots the tall man a disgruntled scowl. ]

I can read, asshole.

[futhark]

[ Oh, shortie, when you're so angry it looks like a pat in a head could calm you down-- sorry about that pal ]

Why the dilemma then? Hopefully, you're not considering something... naughty?

[ Because he would have to stop you then, no peeking on his watch. Look, he's kind of a perv, but he's also chivalrous, word of scout ]

[thevanguard]

[ His face instantly flares a deep red as he sputters. ]

No! I'm not a pervert!

[futhark]

[ Wow, that was super effective. Sorry, Caster can't help but laugh- it is alleviated by a surprisingly friendly shoulder-pat ]

Chill, I know you're not. [ A true pervert wouldn't allow himself to be caught so easily ] I'm just teasing you a bit.

[ Then he offers his hand for a handshake. Because nothing beats introducing after you embarrassed someone ]

Cú Chulainn, or just Caster.

A. 2v2, no survivors.

[kuroi_taiyo]

[ While he had to deal with a look from Dark Starburst, there was enough of an understanding between the two to go through and make sure the White Team won in this battle. They were both competitive enough to destroy everyone else first before going after each other.

He grabbed the high road and Chinatsu grabbed the low, in the sense that he was able to fly up to areas that weren't normally accessible to the players (though some artificial roofs and ledges were for those that didn't have magic,) to shoot at the people that were normally supposed to be his partners. That didn't matter to Stalking Hound right now, and while he never shot one of these guns before, he knew how to point and shoot for other things. How hard could it be?

It'd be harder if these had the kickback of actual guns. ]

[monkeyblue]

[Fushimi, meanwhile, has taken the high road himself. Misaki's better on the ground than he is, and anyway short people don't need to be up that high.

He's looking for his next target, safely hidden by a giant wall for now.]

[thevanguard]

[ You're so lucky you're on his team with a logic like that, you damn monkey.

For his part, Yata does prefer to be more mobile on the ground, constantly moving, ducking low, and taking advantage of ducking under some of the low walls and shelters. Whereas Saru has found a good position to snipe from, Yata is very much taking the ambush strategy here, taking out anyone he comes across and takes by surprise, managing to get shots off faster than most as he creeks through the maze of obstacles. ]

[redmare]

[ For once, Chinatsu made no comment on Judar's use of his ability. It only seemed fair considering how used to this the other two seemed to be at this kind of situation. Like, what the actual hell? Yata kept popping up like a damn meerkat and Fushimi was just as much a pain in the ass.

She hears the creaking from a distance and sticks to a wall. The sound seems to be getting louder too. If she just jumped out, chances were he would just dodge. She'll try to wait this time until he's in sight, then take the shot. ]

[kuroi_taiyo]

[ It really was unfair, given how used to this kind of thing they seemed to be. Without an easy way to communicate with his partner without giving himself away, he didn't know how to catch up. He'd like to kick their asses, but with their current lead...

Ah. He could do that.

With a bit of focus, while his eyes might have a different look to them, the important thing was what he could see in that change. Which was the flux of energy in everyone, for most of the play area. Sort of. There was a limit but he didn't have to go too far to reach those areas outside his radius. One flux of energy was the lowest of them and not moving much- probably Chinatsu, given how she was the most normal of the group. Which meant the one zooming around low on the ground was Yata, and the one up high, like Judar, was...

With three shots in succession (as he was getting used to the laser aiming,) he shot at the flare of person that was on the high ground as well. Found you. ]

C

[unlucky7]

Aren't you the popular one today.

[Ginia grins behind her held up cellphone as she looks at the ground of children surrounding Yata, tugging him every which way as they beg him to win more arcade prizes.]

"Play basketball next!"

"No, no, skee ball!"

"Play the candy catcher!"

[thevanguard]

Whoa, whoa, calm down and take five, alright?

[ Yata rolls his eyes and hands off a plush cat to a little girl who didn't have any yet, then shoos the whole lot of them off in the direction of the rest of the games. Luckily, they take the hint and start dispersing.

But just to be sure, Yata abruptly hops behind Ginia, peering over her shoulder as he uses her to hide behind, whispering dramatically, ]

Save me?! The little monsters are everywhere.

[unlucky7]

[Ginia hands off some of the tickets dangling out of her pockets and a handful of animal clips to the kids as they run off. She peers over her shoulder at Yata and then slowly looks around. All free. She types up another message and holds it up for him to read.]

Cuter than ayakashi, but still just as persistent and hard to deal with. How'd you get roped into playing games in the first place?

[thevanguard]

[ The kids all finally wander away to play on their own and he breathes a sigh of relief.

But maybe stays hiding behind Ginia for the moment. Just in case. ]

I wasn't roped into playing them, I was just killing some time. Next thing I knew I started getting an audience. And I handed off a toy to one of the kids after I won it and then none of them would leave.

[unlucky7]

[Ahh, children. Give an inch and they'll take a mile. Ginia remembers how children had swarmed her and Hibiki's purple horse on her very first day. There was a good way to remember children notice you when others usually don't.]

Kids and free prizes, you can't blame them. [Much. You can't blame them much.] But it looks like the coast is clear.

Having fun?

Food

[mithrarin]

I'd just been wondering about that, actually.

[After a busy day of running around performing all sorts of ridiculous high-energy stunts in laser tag and being way too intense about the whole thing, Dust is hungry to a point that the normal shinki emptiness feels like comparative satiation.]

And it's always more fun if I have someone to compete against.

[thevanguard]

[ Yata glances over at the guy next to him, giving him an assessing once over before breaking into a crooked grin and shrugging. ]

Well, it's not like it's that much of a challenge if you're just competing against yourself.

[mithrarin]

[Dust makes a little noise with a slight twitch of his hand.] You're testing your own limits there, you against the food.

But... being eternally hungry, I don't think that's much of a test.

[thevanguard]

Right? I'm pretty sure I could eat one of those meals anyway, if I had time. But an actual competition is different.

[mithrarin]

Right. It makes you push yourself harder. So -- what challenge do we take on? I don't have much of a preference...

A

[deniles]

[Niles is on the white team, as it matches so much about him. However, he's not playing for points. He's playing to torment. When he sees a particular beanie who he so loves to torment, he moves to follow them through out the maze.

Incredibly, he doesn't seem to pay attention to anything but what's in front of him. Niles is able to keep just out of his eyesight for a bit... before firing him right on the shoulder.

It makes him wonder if Yata will give him yet another good reaction.]

[thevanguard]

[ Unlike most things, Yata is actually taking this challenge pretty seriously. Oh, he's still here to have a good time and keep things fun, but he's also competitive at heart.

So there's no yelling or spazzing when he hears the blip of one of his targets take a hit. Hissing out softly, he instead immediately rolls for cover, eyes peering around in the dark maze to try and spot whoever had shot him. ]

[deniles]

[This is amusing. He watches him trying to roll for cover, not even knowing who's nearby. Pulling up his gun, he shoots at him again when it's safe again to do so.

Might as well give the boy a hard time, yes?]

[thevanguard]

[ This one misses, but it does give him a point of origin for where the shooting is coming from, so as he rolls into cover, he shoots off several shots in that direction, trying to locate the exact source. ]
