[Grand Central Station is where it's at. That's where he is at. Everything has been put in place though things could have been easier if someone had been around when he needed them. It isn't like he can't do it by himself even though it does increase the likely hood of appearing tacky. He has worked too hard to back out now.

He makes sure to get that licorice tied firmly around his ankle with the idea that it isn't going to break. A glace at some sort of reflective surface tells him that he is certainly ready to go. He gives his leg a tug and he glances back to see that his dinky little wagon moves properly. And he hurries to the wagon to press play on the radio that is apparently in it.

Yeah, he needs to do a better search for Sour Bill next time.

His theme song soon comes on and he is quick of stepping out into the middle of the station. Sugar. The licorice broke. He has to make sure to stand by his wagon, though, to distract the fact the radio is there and he has no lackey. His anxiousness has him bring a hand up to the front of his hair. Still in place. His song is still the truth.]

[Tamora was far from happy with this unsettling feeling. Where was the game cabinet now? Plugged into something new... she didn't recognize this power strip. They'd been reorganized in the arcade? Well that was alright with her. She'd been programmed to take orders from higher command without question. But this was just a little jarring...

Wait, where was the Wreck-It game? Oh no...

Oh no. No no no no no....

Could it be that in the move she'd lost...]

Alright. Give me a sound off, who's here, and who's injured? I've seen a Cy-bug here already, we're going to need a response team. Pronto.

[Sometime after this ridiculousness happened, Miku took her Cy-Bug egg home to her game and hid it in her bedroom. But it didn't stay hidden for long. Soon, it hatched...]

( A girl and her bug )

[Game Central Station]

[Miku bursts through to the outside. Seeing a few groups of people heading over for karaoke, she holds her arms out to block them.]

I-I'm very sorry, but nobody come in here! It's dangerous... This is really bad!

[she looks over her shoulder as if there could be an alien swarm busting through the gate any minute. Also, there's still some ink on her face and neck. Maybe someone should ask her what's going on.]

[There’s a strange little stand set up in Grand Central Station, with an even stranger little man bouncing excitedly in front of it. The stand itself is just a simple table with some odd-shaped masses hidden under a bright purple sheet…
Many in the Arcade have already met the Magician (or his double), but it’s a rare occasion to see him in total NPC-mode outside of his own game. He’s in top form: loud, animated, and humorously charming. He sounds a little bit like a carny or a used car salesman, and his grin is as bright as possible.]

Ladies and entlemengay of the arcade! Do you live in fear of stepping outside your game? Well, worry not, friends! I’ve got just what you need!

[With a dramatic flourish, he whips the sheet off the table, revealing rows of glass bottles, each containing a single, floating heart.]

Multiple lives, at any time, in any game, whenever you need it! All you have to do is crack open a bottle-

[He picks one of them up and bashes it on the corner of the table. The glass shatters and vanishes, as the heart grows in size and floats behind him. Now that it’s larger, it’s easier to see that the heart has a dopey-looking smile on its face...]

-And voila! You are now safe to explore! Each heart is guaranteed to last you for an entire life! Battered, burnt or bubbilized; you’ll be good as new as soon as the heart breaks! Careful, though- The heart won’t save you from being crushed or drowned! So don’t get too rowdy! And hooow much would this cost, you might ask? Well, that’s up to you! You heard me right, folks!

Since there’s no... aheh, real currency between all of our games- heck, some of you don’t even have any form of credits… I’m willing to barter! Got any interesting power-ups from your own games? Or maybe a prize, a gadget, a weapon? I’m interested in anything! Just give me something good, and I’ll give you as many hearts as you need.

[a]
[The Magician’s excited pitch is starting to cool down, and he turns to face the small crowd that’s formed. He extends a hand in a friendly sort of greeting, but it’s clear the gears are turning in his head as he stares expectantly at his audience.]
So... what do you say?

[b]
[Some time after the initial crowd has passed; the Magician still has plenty of stock left to sell. The heart is bobbing peacefully behind him as he tries to get the attention of some tough looking characters.]
Need some proof that my product can save your life? Give it a test run! Come on, hit me! Pop me right on the nose! I’ll be fine, you’ll see!

[Mao is a bit wobbly as he gets off his game's cart. All of his various and sundry injuries from a long day of getting the code kicked out of him have of course healed, but he still feels exhausted and battered and more than a little woozy. All the other characters had gone to Tapsters to celebrate a successful first day plugged in. Mao, somehow, had gotten left behind, and been left to entertain himself until the Arcade opened again.

He lingers by the Geo themed cart for a minute, rolling his shoulders, fidgeting with his coat, adjusting his glasses, overall just working ou the kinks and taking a moment to assess.]

Tch...you'd think those brats had never played a fighting game before.

[Sapphire had proved the most popular choice by far. Sapphire! What kind of skill did you need to beat people into submission with an axe?

But he's free, at least for tonight, and it seems like it might be a good idea to poke around and check out the neighbors. So, Mao can be found wandering about Game Central Station, looking like someone who's both absolutely fascinated and completely lost and trying not to show it. Sometimes, he lingers in front of the other station terminals with a thoughtful look on his face, as though contemplating going in. Sometimes he pauses in front of the informational billboards and commercials playing on the walls and in the walkways, paying attention as only a newly plugged in character can.]

Heh...die outside your game, die for good? I'd like to see 'em try.

[All the same, he doesn't know what games might have monsters to beat up and which games might be the quiz games. Not that Mao isn't confident that he could take anything any of these games could dish out, but he's been fighting all day.

There's a new character in Game Central Station, wandering around and trying to see where everything is. He'll figure it out eventually, but some help might be...if not appreciated, then acknowledged.]

[Meloetta... well, Meloetta has a bit of a headache, as she approached her stop. Something felt wrong... but what? She had no idea.

Perhaps it was just the worry she was meant to feel. Her heart had been at unease, after all, since this was only the beginning of her story. At some moments, she had vanished from her vessel, invisibly. At others, she had a smile on her face.

But, does that matter right now? She's stepped into station, slightly hovering. Her skirt, over the skirt which was part of her body, had shifted slightly, slightly off of covering the blackness. But, she's approached you, hovering as she walks! Well, it's not really walking. It's more.. floating. With an ever-so-slight serious look on her face. It's strange, but then her voice doesn't even come out of her mouth! It's telepathy!]

...Excuse me?

[What do you do, with a smallish creature hovering there in front of you?]

[ and today luka is talking a walk around the station, checking out the other arcade games that are around her own. she has some free time now, considering the acrade's closed ]

Mm, what should I do today...

[ you will probably either find her:

a.) walking and singing, minding her own business, until she bumps into you -- that whole cliche "oops sorry i should've watched where i was going" scenario -- and then the two of you become friends or something like that

or

b.) she's at DDR -- luka's just going to show off her amazing rhythm game skills on the dance floor. feel free to ask her for a dance, ask her for a drink or something, whatever! ]

[It had been a long day for the Queen of the Cy-Bugs and her mechanical army, Hero's Duty had been bustling with action and players from start to close. They had certainly earned every quarter that had been put into the machine.

Unlike most of the other Cy-Bugs, she was aware that their game had somehow been transported elsewhere, she had heard the chatter among the Space Marines as they tried to sort the situation out.

It didn't matter which arcade the Queen resided at, be it Litwak's or this new, bigger place, either way, one day it would belong to her and her descendants, it was just a matter of time. In fact, she probably preferred the larger one, there'd be more space for her children to claim.

Because of the Hivemind, she was aware of the Sugar Rush Incident that had happened while this console was plugged in at Litwak's and she had learned a thing or two from it.

But, for now, she was going to rest. The players had been better than normal today and she had ended up falling off of the top of the Tower quite a few times today.]

[Newly plugged in, bright eyed and bushy tailed, one of the newest arcade fighters took her first steps outside her cabinet. She peeled the goggles back from her eyes in awe as she stepped out of the tiny Titan themed caboose, jaw hanging loose.]

Woah, dude... [she mumbled, peeling her gloves off with her teeth and shoving them in her utility belt.] This is... Really something. Wow.

[Sandy takes his time as he makes his way through Game Central Station. He was fairly new, as this was his first time there since his game had been plugged in just recently.

He's excited, though, because he enjoys meeting people. So don't be shy if you see him. He's a bit on the quiet side, but he's still willing to say hi and make friends.

If you catch him napping, though, please try to wake him up. He would need to get back to his game sometime...]

[Crane's steps are long and drawn out as he slowly makes his way through Game Central Station. He glances around, his eyes taking in all the sites and people around him.

While his game had been plugged in for a while, Crane didn't often venture too far from it. He wasn't one much for crowds, and after the arcade closes he preferred spending the evening quietly resting.

But while he loved the adventure/tournament-fighting game that was his home, there were times when he needed just a little getaway to take a break from it.

So if you happen to see Crane wandering around, maybe drop by to say hello. He wouldn't mind a bit of conversation.]

Aw, come on! I know you're in there, somewhere, you little-

[ Okay, so this can't be that unfamiliar a sight - the Lost & Found at the back of Tapper's probably sees a fair bit of traffic, both animate and in. And some guy from some game rooting around back there, elbows deep in the assorted miscellanea probably shouldn't raise too many (or any) eyebrows.

But Zack's not exactly being quiet about it, either, talking to himself (and to that thing he's looking for) quite clearly as he shuffles ever nearer to the bottom of the box. A giant pretzel gets shoved out of the way, a few gold rings go rattling to the back, and- ]

Aha! [ -he straightens up abruptly where he's crouched down, one fist held triumphantly aloft. Unfortunately, his apparent victory is quickly followed by something that sounds a lot more like Ugh, bluh and Gross! as he tries to shake the sticky blob he mistook, briefly, for his missing materia off the palm of his glove. Eventually, the edge of the doorway he's sitting in has to be employed to achieve the desired effect (though he's still making a face at his hand as he goes to scrub it off on a pantleg. ]

Don't even wanna know what game that came from. [ With a frown, he glances up at his only present company, the massive Buster Sword balanced against the wall beside him (because it's hard to crouch comfortably with that thing on his back, okay). And its one empty slot. ] ...All right. Maybe it's time to think about sourcing this one out.

[ Asking around can't be any less productive than digging's been. Right? ]

[Laughter fills the air as Toothiana flies over Game Central Station. Her feathers catch and reflect the light causing her to sparkle like a gem. Even though her game was only recently plugged in, she had become a common sight to several of the characters that frequented the central hub. Tooth loved the atmosphere of GCS and meeting people from all different games.

The fairy touches down in one of the few more open spaces among the crowd. Her wings give a couple final flaps before collapsing against her back. She starts to walk with the flow of traffic, a smile on her face and violet eyes taking in everything around her with wonder. It doesn't seem like she'll get tired of it all anytime soon.]

♪ Ooh drop it to the floor, make me wanna say it
Yeah you can shake some more, make me wanna say it♪

[Her game was primarily a fighting and action game. As much as she loved it, of course she had looked into different genres of games. It didn't take long for her to stumble across DDR... and she was hooked! The bright colors, the pulsating music, the fun characters... Tooth loved everything about it! Ever since discovering the magic of dancing and rythm games that was where she could be found if she wasn't in her own game.

The fairy was, not surprisingly, light on her feet and an excellent dancer. Even the most complex moves she was able to twist and turn her way around with ease. She also made an excellent dancing partner. Anyone up for a round or two of dancing?]

♪ Ooh you got it, because you make me wanna say
Don’t stop it - I want you tonight ♪

trainsurdragons

[There's a console that's been plugged in for quite a while, about five down from Pac-Man, still looking as new as it was when it first was plugged in. Well, save for a few nicks here and there.

Actually, the game titled Riders of Berk will be turning one year old in a few weeks, but it's main character has chosen to keep that to himself, for now. Not like anybody would say a whole lot about it, really. At least the gamers find a combination racing/fighting game with dragons a pretty neat deal.

But as long as the game has been plugged in, not many have seen nor spoken to Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III all that much. Maybe that's because he just never visited GCS too much? It's unsure why- perhaps he just felt more comfortable in the console, never having to worry about getting stuck for some reason and not being back in the game before opening.

...Actually that's probably the reason. The viking doesn't have the best luck sometimes.

But today? Today he's finally ventured into the thick of the central hub of the arcade, walking slowly as he looks around at the other characters passing by. He's the hero of his game, so he doesn't have to worry about people running from him since he's 'a bad guy', but that doesn't mean he feels any more included. Actually, he feels like he's sticking out like a sore thumb here. Just this- spindly teenager with barely any meat on his bones, walking with a slow gait, with a soft clicking sound following every other step. That's what you get for having a bit of a tragic backstory- the programmers decide to chop your leg off.

This might not be Hiccup's first time here, but it might as well be.]

[suddenly, with no warning what so ever, the lights go out all at once. But it's all right, because LIGHTS!

CAMERA!

ACTION!

-- Wait wait wait, when did someone manage to set up a stage in the middle of Central Station anyway? Oh well, details, who cares because we brought music and rhythm games and likely the racing and fighting and shooting games too because who can say no to score attack? (Not your cup of tea? That's okay, it's what SEGA Bass Fishing is for!)

Did you really expect an arcade to open up and there to not be a major company's mascot character to show up? Exactly how many games do you think exist in this arcade that's published by SEGA anyway? Wanna join in? It's cool, we got your back. Calling all my All-Stars, let's all get up and jam!

But it seems Sonic's not on the stage dancing by himself. There's another kid up here, dressed in a snazzy suit. Must be a new kid considering he's not a familiar face around here. It's all right though, what with the new game machine that SEGA put out last year, Phantom R was making a splash even outside of his own handheld game]

Ready?

It's... SHOWTIME!

[OOC: SO I'll be tagging as both Sonic the Hedgehog and Phantom R from Rhythm Thief because SEGA likes it's arcade games. Not sure what game is being shown? It's MaiMai Plus aka that game that looks like a washing machine, which has been recently gotten the plus version with both 3 songs from Rhythm Thief and 3 songs from the Sonic franchise ~~not that Sonic needs more reason to be in the arcade because he's already in All-Stars Racing and Sonic the Fighters among others~~ . Likely, both of them will reply (in the same comment or otherwise noted) or, if you just want to speak with one specifically, let me know in the subject!

IF YOU WANT TO JOIN THE DANCING. Let's all be friends as these two glory hogs try to steal the show- Yea, okay I'm done with the terrible puns and references... for now. ~~and they fixed the lights when the show's over too. They're terrible, but they're not mean!~~]

[Of course there's a Megaman Power Fighters console in the arcade. Forte rather thinks that whoever owns the place would have to be a moron NOT to have his game there. But still, it's only been plugged in a day, and already he's sick of this place.

EVERYONE keeps mistaking him for a villain.

Honestly, he doesn't give a crap about good guys or bad guys, only that he gets to beat someone up at the end of the day. And he does. Because he's playable. And gets to beat up the ACTUAL villain. All the time. But most other characters seem to take one look at black armor and an attitude and immediately assume things, and while it was pretty fun to scare them at first, now it's just starting to get on his nerves.

So here's one fairly aggravated robot, scowling to himself and stomping through Game Central Station. He's headed for Tapper's, because at least that exists, boy does he need it. He's not gonna be happy if they don't serve E-tanks, though.

There's also a robot wolf trotting at his side. Gospel is alert but much more relaxed than his partner, glancing around at their surroundings and the passing characters with interest.]

[There doesn't seem to be an end to the game's installing today; a new arrival gets out of the station with a grin on her face, rolling a wheelbarrow with her as she begins walking around. She doesn't seem to be having any problems adjusting, but going from a computer to an arcade game has certainly left Orin a bit overly eager--she's practically running around the station, using the wheelbarrow as a crude way of getting people out of her way while she looks around.

Hope you don't mind a cat girl striking you up for conversation--she'll be likely to stop anyone she sees for a good ol' chat, though she hopes you don't mind a certain...smell to her. It's kinda ghastly, but not really obvious unless she's really up close.]

Of course, with such a big area, she's looking a little lost... Maybe she could use your help?]
