Arcade

The Discovery Zone / Chuck E. Cheese's / Arcade Meme

If you were a kid during the 80s or 90s, I don't have to explain. Everyone remembers those meccas of fun that were awesome, yet somehow still smelled vaguely of stale pizza and shame. Whether you're hanging out in the tubes, jumping in the moon bounce, or shooting some hoops, you're sure to have a blast.

Well, even if you don't, it's not like you can leave. As big as this place is, there seems to be no door. So you might as well just sit back and win some tickets.

HOW TO PLAY:
1. Comment with your characters.
2. Others will reply, rolling the RNG for the scenario.
3. Have shenanigans. Feel free to make wacky crossovers, since you're all stuck in here together.

SCENARIOS:
1. The slide
2. Ball pit
3. Climbing wall
4. Moon bounce
5. The tubes
6. The little viewing bubble
7. Skeeball
8. Hoop shooting
9. Arcade games
10. The claw machine
11. Laser tag
12. Harassing the poor guy in the mascot suit
13. It's your birthday party!
14. For some reason, you work here.
15. Wildcard

5! Can fold in any of the others, as well.

"How high does this place go, do you know?"

Nita did her best to straighten up, to pull herself out of the half-pipe that was one of the entryways to this little standing-cube, glad to at least see someone after all this time she'd been crawling.

"I, uh, haven't been trying to look out windows much."

Fear of heights, while offset by so much of this maze being enclosed, was still more than a bit of a pain when navigating, but in the end Nita couldn't resist.

[ After yet another successfully brutal performance, Dethklok's decided to hit up the local Chuck E. Schuldiner's for some well-deserved pizza and skee ball.

Or, for Skwisgaar and Toki, a couple rounds of Gitaroo Hero at the arcade. ]

... Fuuuucks!!!

[ Unfortunately for the tall, blond Swede, he soon realizes that his mad guitar skillz don't translate well into Gitaroo Hero, and this is the fifth song -- "I Cum Blood" by Cannibal Corpse -- of the night in which Skwisgaar has actually scored lower than (read: lost to) Toki. ]

This ams bullshits!! [ He whines like a petulant child, and points an accusing finger at his fellow guitarist. ] Stops cheatings! I ams the guitars god, not yous!

[dethangel]

[Toki looks over at Skwisgaar, his best faux-innocent expression on his face. Playing in an arcade is always a fun time, but any chance he has to be better than Skwisgaar at something for a change? Perfect.]

Skwisgaar. This ams... a rhythms game. Nots a leads game.

[He then breaks into a mischievous grin like he was planning to say that for a while. He was absolutely workshopping that for the last couple of songs, knowing Skwisgaar was getting more and more upset.]

You gots to lets the rhythms flows through you. If you don'ts, you'll never beats it.

[desertpowered]

[How about some mischief at the pizza theatre?]

[plz just neither of them understanding ball pits forever]

miguel o'hara | across the spiderverse

[aranas]

[ he works here. for some reason. there is a reason, of course; a well-thought-out and completely reasonable reason, even, don't worry about it

all 6'9 of him are standing behind the ticket redemption counter where there is a wide variety of fun and exciting PRIZES to choose from based on your haul of tickets!!! do you remember pogs? there are probably pogs,

yes, he is wearing his spider-suit, minus mask, plus a HAT. he looks dead inside, but he actually always looks that way it's fine haha get your prizes.......!! ]

[quinnofdiamonds]

[ After an impressive twenty minutes at skeeball she had quite a pile of tickets to turn in and had her eyes on the prize..s. ]

So what can I get for this?

[ She slapped down a thick roll of tickets and looked pleased with herself at the loud thump they made when hitting the countertop. ]

harley..... 😳

[aranas]

[ with little to do but sit behind the counter like a statuesque Guard At The Gates, has Miguel watched the goings-on of others around the place? perhaps. has he noted her impressive skeeball skills? also perhaps.

he takes a look at the tickets she's placed on the counter in an impressive heap before he helpfully....

shrugs. ]

You think I'm counting those for you?

[ he's also jabbing a thumb over his shoulder to where the labels indicate how many tickets are required for one of the Amazing!!! Super Cool!!!!!! Definitely not cheap!!!!!!! prizes sit. his cheerful demeanor is why he was hired at this fine establishment, clearly ]

[nastylittleshit]

Oh wow, gosh! Look at all these prizes!

[ So there's this little blonde shit taking his sweet time wandering by the display counter, gawking at all the options on display. Does his excitement almost look a little play-acted and exaggerated? Don't worry about it! He's just ooh-ing and aah-ing his way down the row before he turns around and comes pattering back to stand before Miguel, looking waaaaay up to give him an innocent ("""""innocent""""") look. ]

But they're all kind of expensive, aren't they? That's a lot of tickets you're asking for, mister.

[aranas]

[ "nastylittleshit" and he has the cutest little babyface you've ever seen in your life, checks out

Miguel takes in this """""""innocent"""""" look, this child-like enthusiasm with a softening of his expression - as what man on earth would not be beholden to such charms........ lol just kidding he's still simply dead inside ]

You got tickets, kid?

[ ah, but he arches a skeptical brow. as if questioning This Innocent Boy's ability to battle the corporate machine and win the only currency that matters: Generic, Unspecified Establishment Tickets... ]

Lucy | Elfen Lied | ota

[saudadist]

[ 100% cheating at the skee ball and basketball games, or playing Sinistar ]

ik this is a couple weeks old; no sweat if not interested!

[orange8ro]

[Kel’s just looking at that waterfall of tickets churning from the basketball machine, stars in his eyes. He’s barely even noticed the cheating. The plush cat he just bought drops to the floor with a squeaky, artificial ‘mew?’]

How are you doing that?!

nonsense I'm happy to tag o/

[saudadist]

[ Lucy has just enough tact to make it look like she's actually throwing the basketball. It's the only way she hasn't drawn more attention to the fact that the trajectory of her throws are a bit off or that the ball tends to suddenly lose momentum and change direction if not in line to sink into the basket.

Kel's interruption jars her out of her thoughts, and her throw misses the basket by a foot or so. At first, she just watches the ball roll back to the catch by her legs, then she glances sidelong at Kel with a frown tugging at her mouth. ]

Doing...what?

Monkey D. Luffy | OPLA | ota

[thekingofthepirates]

[You think he's actually above crawling around like an overgrown child in the ball pit or playing arcade games?

And he will drag everybody with him.]

Aarne "the Eagle" Järvinen |The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust | OTA

[suomi_thunder]

[99% sure he is in the ball pit or moon bounce or somewhere else designed for children and not a 6'3" adult acting like a 5 year old with too much sugar. Also... it is literally his birthday today, so birthday party!]

[helland_damnation]

"Suloinen!"

Joe now screaming at Aarne running over and jumping into the ball pit where the Finn's long legs are sticking out. Laughing, the Brit kissed Aarne and popped a yellow coloured ball onto the Finn's head. There was more laughter as Billy and Erik were mucking around playing a shooting arcade game, trying to shoot zombies and get a high score. Gilly getting pissy and tarty because he couldn't get the claw machine to grab him anything.

Maybe Tom should rent the whole place out for the night. That might work.

I can’t resist.

[itmeanstruth]

Pretty sure the fence-like walls/ceilings on those giant ball pits designed for children weren't meant to be climbed on by 5’9” adults acting like five year olds either, but here we are.

“Look out below!!” Minoru screamed as he let himself drop straight down into the balls.

approach at your own peril ]

Galatea | DCAU

[pygmalionsclone]

[She was told the ball pit was "fun" so that's where she is. Sitting there. Surrounded by plastic balls. She doesn't get it. There's nothing inside any of them. She checked, judging by the ripped open balls tossed aside.]

You just sit here?

[ Guess what mom just hit the jackpot on one of the arcade games??? Now her kids can cash in those tickets for a bunch of little trinkets they don't need, oh what fun! ]
