Arcade Staff
Thank you!
Nene
(I'm glad that I got a chance to play “Black Galaxy Soldier” and scored a ton of headshots, but...)
Nene
(Even though the buttons were sometimes buggy and slow to respond, I cut it some slack since it was close to the station... But seriously, the reticle not being aligned and calibrated for a shooter?)
Nene
(On top of almost losing, I didn't get a very good score... Just stress on top of stress...)
Nene
(That other arcade probably doesn't have any new titles available yet, but I might go check it out...)

We're having our grand reopening! Please come check us out!

(I mean, shoving flyers in people's faces when they're not interested is so... Hm...?)
Nene
I don't remember another arcade being around here. But this map says it should be nearby...
Nene
(Maybe it's a really small arcade.
And yet, it's holding this big gaming tournament to celebrate its grand reopening. What kind of...?)

They seem to have used an old piece of software for the graphical text. This rainbow-colored lettering and overly three-dimensional look...
Nene
But the winner of this tournament will get some VIP passes to the Gaming Expo... That's what I'm after.
Rui
It's an event that's gonna happen at the convention center soon and they'll be unveiling a bunch of new games. It's one of the biggest events of the year for gamers since you get to hear directly from the devs and try out some new titles before they're released.
Rin
I had no idea!
That must mean it's an extravaganza you also really look forward to each year, Nene☆

Nene
Yeah, that's right. It's a show based on a video game that I've loved since I was little, so I've desperately been wanting to see it.
Nene
Unfortunately, I had to sort of give up on it since tickets for it sold out immediately.
Tsukasa
Good question. Is the show they're doing at the Gaming Expo attracting that much attention...?
Rui
Yes, it is. Not only are they using state-of-the-art technology, they've enlisted the help of actors, performers and a director from supposedly the best theater troupe in Japan.
Nene
Then, why don't we all enter this tournament together? The grand prize is supposed to include four passes, so we'll all be able to go if we win.
Nene
Also, this tournament requires people to enter as pairs, so I'd really appreciate it if you guys joined...
Tsukasa
Ah, I see.
Video games aren't exactly my forte, so I'm not sure if I'll be of any help...

But the day of this tournament...
Isn't this when we're supposed to go and get that large prop for our next show?

Emu
It's all supposed to happen in the afternoon, which is when this gaming tournament's supposed to take place...!
Nene
Sorry, I'd completely forgotten about that. I guess we don't really have a choice since our next show takes priority...
Tsukasa
You can leave the prop pick-up to me and Rui. You and Nene can enter the tournament!
Tsukasa
Rui will need to be there to check over everything while I cover the carrying duties and such. How does that sound?
Rui
I agree. There isn't that much to carry this time around, so Tsukasa and I should be able to handle everything.

Tsukasa
Yes, because it's the perfect plan!
We'll be able to get our prop as planned and win tickets for that show you mentioned!

(Alright, I need to practice up until the tournament to raise our odds of winning...!)
Nene
(Hang on... This thing says nothing about which games we're supposed to play. Does this mean we're gonna find out the day of...?)

Toya
I'm nearing my limit in terms of what I can carry. Also, I may want to stop since Akito should be arriving soon.
Toya
I have two more plays...
I don't think I can get the ones in the back, but the plushies in the front seem doable.

Oh, these? I noticed that there were a few new claw machines, so I tried some out while I waited.
Akito
(His house is gonna start overflowing with plushies if he keeps this many every time...)

Toya
Oh, it was actually about to fall from the claw, but luckily, it ended up literally hanging by its little string.

It's our grand reopening!
All are welcome!

Has there always been an arcade here? Also, what's with this design... It looks ancient...
