Happy Birthday! U・ﻌ・U

🧙 WHO: Taichi Nanao [personal profile] arf, Hikaru Hitachiin [personal profile] irritated, and everybody Hikaru invited.
⚔️️ WHAT: Taichi's birthday party! Everybody be merry.
🕒 WHEN: October 11th
🗺️ WHERE: Party venue
⚠️ WARNINGS: If there is anything that happens, please just warn for it in your comment! But it's a party. Should be nothing.




It is Taichi's 18th birthday and the party is 50s diner themed. Not because Taichi is about to go and join some greasers sort of deal but most of his favorite foods could be found in a diner so why not go with a theme? From the bright red diner tables and the random fake license plates hung around, the setting looks exactly like a 50s diner. There are waiters and waitresses dressed up to play the role, with the girls rolling around on roller skates to refill/replace the basket of fries at every table and offer either soda or water to everybody around. There's party games, music, and more. Random people in business suits that you don't know? Shh, pay it no mind.

MENU

If you want healthy* options? Sorry, you're out of luck. Hamburgers, hot dogs, fries, onion rings, and any type of soda you can imagine. Dessert? This sweet tooth overload. Check your diet at the door today.
*There is salad.

MUSIC

In the jukebox for a small fee, you can choose among the different songs there are. However, you will not find any oldies but just different rock songs. There are a couple of strange dance songs (what the hell is a salsa slip?) and a slow song in case anybody wants to have a moment. No matter the song you choose, it doesn't really fit with the 50s theme.

GAMES

You know what else doesn't fit the 50s theme? The arcade games. There's games similar to tetris, some type of alien invader looking game, fighting games, some racing games, and some game called Glutton Dude where you just try to eat a lot. However, there is a pinball machine so this isn't entirely anachronistic here.

[note: feel free to do whatever. the sky is truly the limit here.]

We'll have to start off with something easy then.. games are more fun if you play them together, you know? Oh, what about a classic like Mrs. Pacman?
beautyrest: (Comfy) (Elsa and Aurora)

[personal profile] beautyrest 2021-11-26 06:32 am (UTC)(link)
Alright, Mrs. Pacman, I do not know this mistress, how does one play her game?
arf: (i love pacman)

[personal profile] arf 2021-12-12 08:18 am (UTC)(link)
Okay, so you use the joystick here right?

[ He reaches up to show her how it moves. ] And it will move this character, the yellow one with the mouth and the bow on her head. That's Ms. Pacman! You have to go around a maze and collect or "eat" all of the dots in the maze, but you're being chased by ghosts at the same time. Blinky, Pinky, Inky, and Sue. If they catch you, they'll eat you and you lose. You have to keep going through the levels until she finds Pacman, her fated love, and they can finally be together!
beautyrest: (I don't understand)

[personal profile] beautyrest 2021-12-12 08:59 am (UTC)(link)
And these restless spirits, I cannot simply reason with them? [Aurora, honey, no.]

Very well, I think I have enough understanding of the game. I shall endeavor to reunite Mrs. Pacman with her beloved.
arf: (light blush and grin)

[personal profile] arf 2021-12-12 09:05 am (UTC)(link)
Nah, it's just a game. If they were real maybe! Heh, but I wouldn't try it for sure... they're really fast and don't really talk! Though, if you eat a fruit you can turn the tables and chase them around for a few seconds and get bonus points.

[ Taichi steps out of the way and gestures to the joystick to allow her to go first. ]

Ladies first!
beautyrest: (Is something wrong?)

[personal profile] beautyrest 2021-12-12 09:10 am (UTC)(link)
[She inclines her head as she comes up to the console. She idly moves around the joystick a bit to understand how it functions and then begins the game. The noise it makes actually causes her to jump as it's not any sort of natural sound she's ever encountered before.

At first, she manages for a little bit, the game starts out nice and slow, but it's really only a matter of minutes before the game becomes faster and Aurora, with no real practice, is "killed" by a ghost, having doubled back right into it.
]

Oh, I've died.
arf: (CRAIS)

[personal profile] arf 2021-12-16 12:14 am (UTC)(link)
Aurora-chan!! [ He screams dramatically, like she actually died. ] It's okay, you'll do better the more practice you get!
beautyrest: (This is important)

Perhaps I may glean some tricks watching you, as you are much more advanced than I in this game.
arf: (newbie swordsman)

[personal profile] arf 2022-01-04 03:18 am (UTC)(link)
I don't know about more advanced, but I've played it a few times.. hehe~

[ he's flattered. He doesn't get complimented on his video game prowess (what prowess??) often, since he's got two legendary gamers in his acting company back home-- Neo the top-scoring expert at all games and Taruchi, gaming-obsessed streamer who loves his waifus... aka his troupe leader Banri and Spring Troupe's Itaru. Taichi usually just horrifies them with his free-to-play style.

Either way, he's going up to take his turn now and sticks his tongue out in concentration as he starts the game, looking super serious..!! He does pretty well at least, getting through a couple levels before getting eaten. ]

Ahg..!
beautyrest: (I've fooled them)

[personal profile] beautyrest 2022-01-06 03:15 am (UTC)(link)
A splendid performance! [She clapped sincerely.] It is as I said, you are much more practiced than I. Though I cannot say I feel all the wiser for another round. You did well, Taichi.

[She patted him on the back.]

Are we to play again?
arf: (:o?)

[personal profile] arf 2022-01-16 07:11 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, it's your turn again! We gotta see how much you learned on round 2! You may be surprised how quick you pick it up.
