[Day 9 - Late Evening] Side Event: Arcade Action Affair!

Post by **Miya Kisha** » Sat Nov 29, 2025 11:55 am

Kisha manages to fight her way to the arcades, her petite frame a disadvantage in doing so. But she sits to them, at last, and tries her hand at the gachapon. The prize falls into her hand, and she smiles as she puts it into her pocket.

Next, she stands at an old arcade game, her hands moving with what seem practiced motions over the joystick and buttons. Soon, all the pixelated threats are vanquished, and tickets erupt in a stream to pile, detumescent, at her feet.

Kisha scoops the tickets up and, seeing that the neighboring machine is open, sits to it. Trigger discipline serves her well for a couple of rounds of porcelain-masked zombies coming at her to eat her brains, but the mass of tentacles that coalesce from the tsukai's slashed wrists defy her, and it is only a couple short spurts of tickets that dribble out of the machine.

The Miya, her winnings in hand, makes space for others. What she will do with the winnings, she's not sure yet...

Post by **Bayushi Kazushi** » Sat Nov 29, 2025 2:27 pm

Kazushi starts at the gachapon machines, as well - starting out to some early success with an ultra-rare dropping on his first attempt! His second attempt isn't so good, though, as he can't seem to find a machine with the item he's looking for.

Next he tries his luck at dancing, and he's...not that bad, actually, for someone completely untrained in the art and unfamiliar with the game. It takes him a moment, but he soon gets the patterns down and performs reasonably well. He walks away with another handful of tickets.

At the end, he heads to the counter, trading in his tickets for a 24-pack of Kensenka beer and a bag of Uomoto candies. Not really a bad haul for a diversion like this.

Kiyoshi had not been the best dancer of the Mystery 5, but Moshi Super Sunrise Classic was a personal all-time favorite. He'd never get the top score, but he had a lot of fun, and that was the point. The Detective matched him step for step.

The pair went to the Gachapon Machines next and Kiyoshi's sharp eyes got them some rare items.

Post by **Moto Shiwahime** » Sat Nov 29, 2025 8:40 pm

She had not been here before, preferring to keep to her training rather then waste time with games but...she had to admit that this looked fun.

Shiwahime really did not think that she would enjoy playing these games along but with a group like this one, the competition added a little friendly spice to it all.

The first machine she spotted was, obviously, the strength test. Simple yet elegant. The Moto never really had used a Dai-Tsuchi before but the principle seemed simple enough as she weighted and tested the weapon in one hand.

''Feels decent'' she commented before moving in for the strike. She did not bother using both arms to swing the huge weapon: she did not want to test the strength of the Kaiu engineered arm, she wanted to test her own! And so she swung the heavy thing one handed, in a great arc, focusing her body's entire strength into the weapon's head.

The collision was violent and reverberated through the floor before the maker shot through to the full range of the tower

''Neat'' she told the machine, quite proud of that blow. Maybe she should take up heavy weapons?

Now feeling a bit more ready for fun she moved to the first tournament game and racked a decent streak until she really should have switched to Hida to continue the combo.

But how could she switch? Shinjo was best Kami!

She finally got tempted by the racing game. She had lost the real one but perhaps she could save her personnal pride with a digital one.

Post by **Ikoma Nonoko** » Sat Nov 29, 2025 9:26 pm

Nonoko wasn't going to let this opportunity go away. First the gatcha. She wondered what she would get. She opened the plastic ball and confetti a silver ticket for a mythic rare gatcha. Then to Shadowlands Invaders at the beginning she had some luck but slowly it dwindled as she died 2 times while piloting the ship. Finally Moshi Moshi SS Classic, the start was rough but as she watched the arrows go by her memory of the steps started to trigger. Her tiny legs sometimes couldn't reach the arrow asked letting her not to score SS+.

Post by **Kuni Sumie** » Sat Nov 29, 2025 10:39 pm

Sumie was there to ruin someone's day. It didn't matter if they were some pre-gempukku child who was getting rewarded by their parents for earning a gold star or some retired geezer who was trying to recapture their youth with the magic of video games. Someone was going to get owned. Destroyed! Merc'd!

"Out of the way, dorks," Sumie would say when she stepped forward to take her turn with The First Tournament: Tag Edition. She would put her arms behind her back in a quick stretch with a roll of her neck, then assume a hunched position to take up as much arm space as possible. This should also work to her advantage because she was banking that her opponent had never touched another human being before. She picked the most edgy combination ever, Akodo and Shiba. Those Clans never partnered before, right? Bite me history try-hards, before you say anything!

She tapped her buttons in quick succession when she launched someone in the air, keeping them up with various fancy footwork from Shiba-Kami. What should have been a one-way train to Suffertown with an Akodo-kami tag in was cut short when she missed her grapple chain. "Lame!"

Unfortunately...that was the only machine she had her eyes set on. Sure, she could scrouge up a disguise to go again, but she meandered around and tried the Test of Strength to get the lowest score of recognition. Lame, I don't need your pity tickets.

She took the tickets.

Ugh, gachapon, gross. But still, she tried her hand at gachapon in hopes of getting a NAT ONE HUNDRED. Surely, then the Clans will come swarming at her for that 1 Bid Point so that they could earn some sort of convoluted, double-linked company that made lameo kitchen appliances. They'll say 'save us!' and then she'll look down and whisper...'no'.

Alas, that didn't happen. But, at least she got enough to get a box of Yasuki Miho's Marines. This unit was totally busted and overpowered...if you played in that era of war.

ARCADE!
LIGHTS!
FUN!
NOISES!

Kanna's eyes glittered as much as all the shining lights around them from all the arcade machines. But first things first... the hunt for ultra-rare gachapons!

Alas, she wasn't the only one trying to to hunt for the rare finds, and her first gachapon was as common as dirt. Or maybe water was more common on Green Carp? For a moment, Kanna forgot about that the gachapon and spaced out thinking about what Green Carp had more of - water or dirt.

Eventually she remembered what she was doing, and managed to squeeze in between the crowd to try for another gachapon.

YES! An ultra-rare gachapon! It wasn't the super-duper-unique one, but this was a good pull!

Then she was pushed away from the machines, as others flocked to find the one unique item.

The short Dragon woman roamed between the machines for a while, before she saw someone play the Shadowlands Invaders-shooter. Overall, it seemed the games here were rather violent, but... maybe she should brush up on those nonexisting combat capabilities!

"PEW!" Kanna declared loudly with each shot, enthusiastic in her mimicking of the game's movements. "PE-- awww I didn't make it."

Still, she had shot enough monsters for some rewards.

And with her combined winnings she had enough for ONE MU-MUJINA BLIND BOX! YES!

Post by **Kaiu Nagisa** » Sun Nov 30, 2025 4:22 am

Ahhh, the arcade. One of Nagisa’s favorite pastimes as a kid and teen. She knows exactly which games she likes and gravitates especially towards Shadowlands Invader. For ages she eyed the Top 20 score board on that game. She knew one day she would be able to maybe rival the legends on the board like ASS and FUK.

So, she starts. It’s a nostalgic blast to the past as all her muscle memory kicks in. She’s doing better than when she was a teen, this could actually be it… She could actually break into the Top 20! Oh it isn’t even close, she is able to survive the stages with ease, earning her a nice number 15 on the leader board.

Looking up at the names on the board. She knew what she needed to do. She needed to be just as juvenile as the rest of these names, just like the legends ASS and FUK and the fabled SEX. She inserts the three character name… TIT. This would be the start to her one day toppling ASS as number 1.

After that high, Nagisa goes to the driving game only to be distracted enough by her historic moment from earlier to mediocre results. She got tickets either way.

Gachapon was just a fun little thing to do to kill a little bit of time before cashing in her tickets!

Post by **Yasuki Taraka** » Sun Nov 30, 2025 12:18 pm

When was the last time Taraka had free time to go to the arcade? Probably back before her gempukku. Keeping Flying Battle Carps in the air had been a full time job since the death of her mother and her mandatory military service had also claimed it's share of her life, not to mention studies.

So for one night, she could put that all behind her and just lose herself in the fun of the blinking lights and loud noises. It was, after all, an official event. The governor demanded people had fun, and who was she to defy the will of the government?

OF course, there were samurai testing all sorts of skills out there. A Moto proving that the Dai-Tsuchi was the REAL king of heavy weapons. People dancing, fighting, racing.

Still, it was the gachapon machines that really drew Taraka's eye. That bounty list was particularly tempting, and she saw a machine that seemed to have been overfilled with the priority targets.

In went the tokens , the animated fisherman danced, the unique rare item rolled and.....a mythic rare dropped. Ah, so close, but still really good!

With people crowding about the gachapon machines, Taraka headed over to boot up an old favorite, Shadowlands Invaders! The waves were intense, and slowly but surely Taraka got backed into a corner (who backs people into corners in space? C'mon devs!) and just when it looked like the simple pixel Crab ship would be lost, the best words lit up "Ultra bomb ready!" A slam of the bomb button and the screen was wiped.

You win!

Pleased with herself, Taraka decided to take one more run at the Gachapon machine. A lot of priority targets were gone, but she was sure there was one still waiting just for her...and she was right! Second mythic rare achieved!

If there was one thing that Tetsu could not resist in arcades, it was Shadowland Invaders. It was just a fixture, and with every kid with a parent on the gunnery crews it had been a matter of pride.

And what kind of Crab would he be if he wasn't smashing things with something heavy?

Driftmaster proves that he's better behind a virtual wheel than a real one.

Overall it's a great haul!

Post by **Utaku Itsuka** » Sun Nov 30, 2025 3:54 pm

Itsuka wasn't exactly a regular at the Arcade. Not anymore, at least. The multiplication of Gachapon machines made her a little frustrated - not so much because she didn't like the prizes, she actually liked many of them... but she wasn't exactly good at finding the machines with easy catches, and they took more and more space where games she liked used to be!

Where was 'Ice Combat", the classic dogfighting game in a frozen world?
What about 'Liver raid', that most classic top-down bullet hell where you played as a turtle-like Kuppaa cell fighting weird-shaped bacteria and other things entering the liver of an unknown, unshown person?
Or 'Just ships and beats', that stylish size-scrolling bullet hell where you had to sync with crazy chiptune songs and weave around while avoiding shots from all kinds of weird-shaped watercraft?

Well. At least the top floor still had some classics.

Shadowlands invaders was the obvious one. She beat it easily, maybe even too fast, and kept looking around to see if any other bullet hell games were in sight. But nope, none of them.

She then decided to try her luck with The First Tournament. She'd heard of this version - good and bad things - and she thought she could be at least ok at it. Which is.... pretty much what she was. She waited to bring in Bayushi and Togashi to help Shinjo out with a combo against an unlikely Hida-Daigotsu helped Doji, but her timing was wrong (but what kind of timing was that, Bayushi?? How are you supposed to sync with that?), and she ended up with an 'okay' run.

Then, before heading out, she went to the only racing game in sight - Driftmaster. She knew cars weren't what she was best at, but it wouldn't do to go away without sating her need for speed. So in she went.

The first part of the race was easy. The second one, too easy - she felt silly for being so careful, she could easily have shaven off some time there!

Then she decided to hit the pedal for the last lap. She needed excitement! Why go for winning if she could win by twice as much??

She sped up more, and more, and more. A slower car was ahead, one lap behind, just before a tight turn. She hit the nitro right then and there - she could obviously correct course after overtaking him, right?

Right?...

....

.... right?

Post by **Yasuki Honoka** » Sun Nov 30, 2025 5:08 pm

Finding maybe the benefits in actually allowing herself to relax, Honoka with Hiroto in tow attend the Arcade Action Affair night! Which, admittedly, was also something she convinced herself in the effort of patronizing fellow business owners in the city. When a business held an event like this how could she consider herself a good neighbor if she didn't attend, right?? So, she slinks into the darker space and allows herself a evening of guilty pleasures which are mostly spent finding the best gacha machines in the place to get herself a really good gacha to take home. Maybe, maybe, even the elusive little crab that looks suspiciously like Crabbo she's been hunting for years.

Unfortunately for Honoka, she found the machine that she could get him out of but with her pull made it didn't look like tonight was going to be the night. A little emoji looking thing came out and she almost discarded it in disappointment but still stuck it into her pocket for safe keeping. Looking back at the machine she forlornly hoped, thought, that maybe if she kept pulling it forever he might come out but no, no she was better than that. More respectable. Let others have their chance and fun and... ooo, look at that, Shadowlands Invaders, like she used to play when she was little.

Haruhi returned to the very arcade where she met Senshu! What a wonderful happy place. The best place.

And what an array of games to try!

Of course, she was drawn irresistibly to Moshi Moshi Super Sunrise Classic first. A dancing game! She could dance! Oh the music was so joyful and bouncy. She just had to keep up. Follow the steps on screen. Maybe a bit of fancy footwork. Ah, it was so fun! And she hit every step!

Moshi Moshi Super Sunrise Classic
Three rounds, 1 CR each, all successes - 700 tickets

https://sakkaku.org/r/20972 44 v 20 (dance/agility)
https://sakkaku.org/r/20973 24 v 20 (dance/agility)

What next? (She'd dance all night, but folks were queued up, and it was only polite to give someone else a turn.)

She was drawn to Shadowlands Invaders. Surely a Crab favorite. A bit of local flavor. It benefited from brains and reflexes. And a certain obsessive compulsive tendency. No incoming ship left standing! And...

She did it! She gave a happy cheer! The world was safe for another night.

Shadowlands Invaders

And... she was feeling ever so lucky, so time for a Gachapon Machine.
No particular skill at picking a good one... (https://sakkaku.org/r/20977 5 v 10, fail, no bonus)
But her luck held! https://sakkaku.org/r/20978 1d100 = 84!
80-89: The player receives an ultra-rare gachapon item worth 600 Tickets.

By the end of the night, she had 2,200 tickets!

What to buy?

Massive, life-size, jimen tori plush: 800 tickets (for hugging and snuggling and also for future jimen tori preservation events)
Full-course dinner at the Hanei Tower: 1000 tickets (for a date!)

Wait, there's a machine where you can just jam money into it and random toys come out?...Like...Say Gambling

Ochiba immediately gets distracted by the flashing lights and sounds and starts feeding coins into the machine.

Day 9 Le Bid Event, gachapon machine roll 1 with +10 from success and +10 from a raise, random those items! | 1d100+20 ⇒ 61

A small pocket creature of some kind comes out, the perfect combination of dark and brooding...but also a cute pet. Ochiba whoops loud enough to startle those next to her before quickly feeding more coins in.

Another game with the potential for furious button mashing appears and the Mantis is damned if she isn't going to violently hammer the cabinet while screaming profanities at the pixels until they all die. Which thankfully, they do.

Feeling wonderfully relaxed from her evening the Mantis departs.

((2100 tickets earned))

Post by **Bayushi Hinata** » Mon Dec 01, 2025 11:51 am

The Scorpion walks into the Arcade with a tired expression on his face, he rolls his neck before setting his mask on his hip, sword and gun still on him. He figures relaxing with some games will be worth it no? He first approaches the Test of strength, smacking the figure with good enough technique...

And flopping agaist it... barely getting the gauge to rise....
16 damage? 200 tickets...

That knocked the wind out of his sails... and so he approached something better suited to himself.
Shadowlands Invaders! He remembered playing the game in the World of Dreams! He used to pretend it was shooting practice back at the dojo.
First third... perfectly acceptable progress...
Second third.... Again, perfectly acceptable progress, but he needed a lot more for the final stretch.
On the final third he pulls out all the stops. Expression growing stern as he vents his frustration at the virtual enemies.
It works!
That's 900 tickets to Hinata for a total of 1100!

Now it was time for a little competitive game... He wasn't a champion by any means, but again, he played plenty of First Tournament back in his dojo days...
Win!
Win again!
Better call in a Tag this time just in case!
Oh it's getting dicey, more assistance!
Time to kick it into overdrive! all that remains is his own skill!
Another win! Bayushi is considered A tier for a reason!
Another! One short of becoming the Emperor!
Except... That's not how the histories go do they?

7 Wins! 700 tickets for a grand final of 1800 tickets to the Scorpion!
Now what to spend them on... or who....

There's a soft chuckle as he approaches the prizes booth. Who else was he gonna spend it on?
1000 Tickets for Kikea-brand Blue Greatshark plush!
800 Tickets for Life-size, jimen tori plush!

Post by **Kakita Hiroki** » Mon Dec 01, 2025 3:34 pm

The Arcade . . . the second home of Usagi Drop! Nazuna had danced up a storm on New Kalani. Hinata had boogied on down on the World of Dreams. Now it was Hiroki's turn to dance all night long on Nakahama. Well . . . as long as they'd let him with the queue growing behind his continuing perfect combos. He had the good grace to bow out once the track had finished even though he so wanted to just spend the entire night on the Classic machine. Like, when would he ever get another chance to dance on it? Nazuna would be sooooooooooooo jealous of him for this.

Still moving to the music he picked The First Tournament Tag Edition next. Of course he picked Doji to begin with and he did quite well, even if his technique was a little . . . . stabby. In fact he was mashing buttons so fast he was somewhat surprised when Yoritomo tagged in to replace Doji with a burst of Thunder and something about Twenty Men. Hiroki wasn't listening, he was One with the Stab and The Stab was with him.
Until it wasn't. Still that was a lot more tickets than he expected. Was this guy really a Kakita Artisan or a secret bushi?

For his final game of the night he chose the classic cabinet. He started well and then had an absolute wobble in the middle when he almost got boxed in at the far right of the screen, but pulled it out in the end for an easy victory and even some of his asteroids remaining undestroyed.

He was out of time, but with a longing look back at the dance machine . . . or was it The First Stab . . . errr Tournament machine? who knows, they were too close together to tell right now, he went to chose his prizes. The massive bird plush would make Hinata squeeee with joy. Nazuna would look great in the fancy hat. He shuddered slightly as he chose two . . . fish plushies for Yuta and Tomoyo, but they both (stupidly so in his mind) liked fish. The cat ears communicator he took for himself. He knew Ta-kun adored his mood sensitive cat ears, but Ki-kun preferred the practicality of the communicator set up.

Arcade! Games, bright colours!

After a busy day, having an evening to just play games and win prizes sounded like a great way to finish the day. But where does one start? The funny fighting machines? The dancing ones? The machines that weren't blocked by tall people?

She found her way to an age old game called 'Shadowlands Invaders' which amused her no end. She turned out to be quite good at building walls it seemed, which after building virtual walls earlier made her feel like she was just repeating her afternoon. Still, she won eventually and claimed some prize tickets!

Wandering around after getting a bright colourful boba, she was drawn in big GACHA MACHINES! Most of the evening was lost to these machines, and while she managed to get one big hit the rest of the time she wasn't able to get anything good. Not even one good plushie.

As he'd said to the little Lion programmer Ikoma Nonoko early in his time on Shiawase, Sorato isn't much of a gamer, but this is a social event. He's supposed to be being social on this planet! One doesn't need to actually be good at the games to have fun, right?

He makes a couple of attempts to investigate which of the gacha machines might be the one with the rare Golden Carp item, or at least one of those mini-starfish conelight keychains, but only ends up with two identical plastic tuna refrigerator magnets. He's also rather quickly eliminated by maho zombies leaping from around corners in the shooter game--phew! It's fun to wander around and see what everyone else is playing, at least.
