LIVE!!!

[iamverybadass]

Who: Talon and Coyote and YOU
Where: The Arcade
When: Day 100, late morning and into the afternoon

[ Boy yesterday sure was eventful, huh? What better way to relieve all that stress than by venting your frustrations on some video games? That's the idea some members of Wild City have had.

That, and earning points, because as soon Talon and Coyote step inside, one of them is hitting the live button, and Talon kicks things off with a challenge directed at...anyone listening, apparently. ]

Do any of you think you're actually good at these games?

[ Coyote crosses her arms, tips her head to the side, and gives a wolfish grin before chiming in: ]

Listen up, idols! We’re having throw down no mercy fight to the digital death! If you can’t take on our skills, just stay home under the covers sucking your thumbs.

[ Talon flashes a sharp-edged grin, over-confident as ever as he interjects again. ]

If you think you can beat us, then get down here and prove it.

Ah, I'll just have to give what I have then. I'll probably lose, but thank you for this opportunity for a leisurely game.

[undressedforsuccess]

Maybe it's cheesy sappy nonsense to say it, but if you have a good time, you win. That's the whole point of a game, right?

[nihilmancy]

Yes, that's very much true. I hope to be a worthy challenger, at least.

[She approaches the machine.]

[undressedforsuccess]

Mmmmm. . .

[Going over their music selections]

Something peppy? Or maybe hardcore? I think they set it up so they've all got a good beat. . .

[nihilmancy]

What does... hardcore mean?

[undressedforsuccess]

The kind of thing that gets your heart racing and blood pumping!

[Selecting this!]

[nihilmancy]

Oh, that sounds exhilirating!

[She's not sure she quite likes the song as much, but she'll give it a try! This girl is as spirited as she looks!]

[undressedforsuccess]

[BAM DDR showdown. Coyote is not half bad -- she's a pretty athletic and energetic girl, so she's halfway decent at keeping up with the game, even during the more intense and complicated parts.]

[nihilmancy]

[Sekhmet has decent coordination, but isn't particularly agile or athletic, and is tripped up by the more rapid parts, losing by a decent margin. When it finishes, she's breathing hard and her heart is pounding.]

Wow. That was, really something.

[undressedforsuccess]

Heeh, you were really cool! That was seriously your first time trying it?

[nihilmancy]

It was. But, um, you were amazing! You're wild and aggressive, but so precise. Um, it was beautiful to look at.

[undressedforsuccess]

. . .I just gave it my best effort. . .

[nihilmancy]

You're really incredible! May I play another game with you?

[undressedforsuccess]

Ah, s-sure? Which one?

[nihilmancy]

Perhaps the racing game?

[undressedforsuccess]

All right. I tried a couple of those with Talon and Silver earlier.

[Spoilers: She is really bad at them.]

[nihilmancy]

Let's go, then.

[Heading over to one of those big cabinets that looks like a car.]

This is a funny looking boat.

[undressedforsuccess]

Heheh, it's supposed to represent the inside of a car, not a boat.

[nihilmancy]

And without an animal pulling it? That's an interesting concept.

Ah, but just because you know what it is doesn't mean you'll win.
