[b][u]Robert Fallson - Drury Lanes[/u][/b]

Robert was the type of guy who had trouble sitting still for long periods of time, usually needing to walk around or pace to give himself something to do. So while he waited for his turn to come up, he began to do exactly that, pacing behind everyone while watching the game proceed. Little by little Robert began to saunter farther and farther away from the group, until he eventually found himself no longer coming back and just wandering around the building. He watched other people's games, he looked over the menu of the strangely named 'GR8 Eats,' before finally entering the arcade. Amazed by the brights lights and digital sounds, he entered the large room. Without even realizing it, Robert found himself with a large handful of tokens that he bought with the lien he was awarded with from the Protest mission. [b]"One game wouldn't hurt. Or several. Right?"[/b] he asked himself. [b]"Of course not. Now what to play?"[/b]

Choosing the first thing he saw, the red-haired student stood in front of the crane game. [b]"Won't it be great if I came back to the dorms with some stuffed animal for Priscilla?"[/b] he said as he put in his first coin. Music began to play from the machine to announce to the fellow arcaders that the infamous crane game had ensnared yet another poor victim. The crane began to slowly move as Robert nudged the joystick slightly, trying to line it up with a cute looking teddy bear. [b]"Be the crane. Be the crane. Be the crane,"[/b] he repeated to himself, as if the chant would somehow save him from the misery that would soon come. Hesitantly, Robert pressed the small red button that would make the crane lower and hopefully grab his prize. But it was all in vain, as the claw clamped down and slid right off as soon as it retracted. He made a disappointed grunt before trying again. And again, and again, and again, and again. Each time nowhere closer to success than the last. Before long, half of Robert's lien had been wasted on the crane game. Another day, another poor sucker scammed out of his money.

Robert walked away in shame, looking around the corner of the door to check back on the bowling game to see if he had missed his turn while he was throwing his money away. Surprisingly, he still had plenty of people ahead of him before his turn. [b]"I guess that's what happens when you play with a group this large."[/b] Turning back to the arcade, Robert noticed a familiar figure standing in front of one of the many 2-D fighting games. [b]"Hey, Shiro! Mind if play with you?[/b] he said as he approached the cat faunus. [b]"I warn you though, I've never played this game before. I could be a total pro, and even I wouldn't know,"[/b] he said while poorly imitating several different martial art postures. [b]"Kyaa!"[/b] he shouted as he chopped at an imaginary target in front of him.
