Darren Shaw ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Matthew checked the time on his watch. "Hey, Darren, we got time 'til the fair, want to doss about in the arcade until then? Like old times?" The non-meta human suggested. Darren figured this would be a good way to catch up rather than dossing about in Matt's house. "Hehe, sounds good. Like old times." Darren replied smiling to Matt. After Matthew turned off the TV, they both hurried out the door to get in Matt's car. With his hands in his hoodie pockets, Darren walked out the door first and then turned to face Matt as he locked the door. When he turned back to the street, he was looking at Matt's old dark blue Ford Fiesta, which was Matt's first car and to Darren, no matter how glamorous or not so (in their case, it was the latter) a car was a car and the old Ford got the job done so Darren couldn't really complain. Matt unlocked the car and they both got in following that all important click sound. Matt turned the key in the ignition and off they went towards Arcadia Heights. When they arrived, it was already bustling with the populace making finding a parking spot very difficult. However, after 20 minutes of frustrating searching and assholes taking spaces seconds before Matt and Darren do, they finally found a space about a ten minute walk away from the actual arcade. They had to sure through the bustling crowd, but managed to talk over the chatter to hear each other. "So, you looking forward to the fair?" Matt asked, well shouted more like just to be heard. "Yeah man, should be fun, yourself?" Darren replied, talking just as loud just to be heard. "Haha, yeah dude, although..." Matt began shuffling closer. "I'm gonna keep my eye out for a couple of chicks, ya get me?" He said quieter, elbowing Darren jokingly which Darren chuckled and rolled his eyes. They didn't talk much, to busy concentrating on sidestepping the members of the crowd as best as they could to get to the Arcade. Finally they made it and made their way inside and immediately made their way to the change machine, putting in a five dollar bill in each and each taking their respective change. They began with some sort of two player, futuristic shooting game appropriately named "Alien Genocide VI: Retribution" and the controls were simple: Aim the plastic gun at the screen, pull the trigger to shoot and press on a pedal to take cover. The two spent five straight minutes shooting aliens in a Halo style before finally losing. "Yo Matt, grab us two a drink would ya please?" Darren asked politely, handing his friend a couple of dollars. After his friend hurried to the concession, Darren quickly scanned the arcade and noticed a woman, clearly bored out of her mind so he walked over. "You look like you're having fun?" Darren joked, smiling. "The name's Darren by the way." He said, introducing himself and offering his hand.
