Sagamiyama - Sweets Shop Outside
Sunday Midday[/center][hr]Nina flashed Emi an “okay” signal in response to the request for her to not die. [color=ed1c24]She[/color] [color=f7941d]didn't[/color] [color=fff200]need[/color] [color=39b54a]to[/color] [color=00aeef]be[/color] [color=0054a6]told[/color] [color=92278f]twice[/color]. After that, she pursed her lips in thought. Her physical body wasn’t presently even in Sagamiyama, instead having been left in a hotel in the nearest large city. While it made wandering around without being stopped by fans, hecklers, or paps easier, it was pretty inconvenient for actually doing things during downtime. Not that this needed to stop her. After all, it’d be easier to, say, hit up an arcade without worrying about drawing a crowd. Sure, why not?

She looked around to her new coworkers. Who among them seemed most likely to enjoy getting some game time in? ...Probably the one who kind of looked like he came out of one, yeah. Nina approached Tony, Soul Pager in hand, and typed out a text, and held it out screen facing the boy.

“[color=ed1c24]Yo[/color]. [color=f7941d]Wanna[/color]' [color=fff200]hit[/color] [color=39b54a]an[/color] [color=00aeef]arcade[/color] [color=0054a6]or[/color] [color=92278f]smth[/color]?”

[color=ed1c24]“Oh…”[/color] Tony looked down at the soul pager, moving his hand over the paper, [color=ed1c24]“You think I would go to an arcade just because you asked if we were friends…”[/color] Tony’s eyebrows furrowed slightly. He seemed to be about to say no… suddenly a loud, happy scream was heard.

[color=ed1c24]“BECAUSE I’LL DO!!!”[/color] He almost screamed, all while giving a very enthusiastic thumbs up, he has waited for a moment like this for ages, last time he went to an arcade was months ago.

With a clap of her hands, Nina grinned wide and returned the thumbs up. She wheeled around and began to walk off, then midstep, leg stretched out in front of her, stopped. She rotated on her heel, leg still held up, and faced Tony once more, now with brows furrowed and lips curled in befuddlement, her eyes looking upward as if trying to look into her own mind.

Where...was the arcade in Sagamiyama, again?

She was sure she’d seen one at...some point on her traipse from hideout to hideout looking for people earlier that day. Her brow furrowing further in annoyance at her own forgetfulness, she lowered her leg, pulled her Soul Pager back out, and tried to find a search engine app on it. Wait, did this thing even have a data plan?

After a few moments of tapping on the buttons in increasing frustration, Nina grit her teeth and leaned back with the phone raised above her head in her left hand. She then swung down, not releasing the delicate device, and returned it to her pocket. She then walked back toward Tony, passed behind him, then turned around and waited for him to lead the way. Hopefully he either knew where the arcade was, or had a working goddamn phone.

[color=ed1c24]“Oh… I see.”[/color] Tony smirked and swiftly pulled his phone out, he tapped the words ‘Arcades nearby now now’, after looking for the results for a bit, he found a place some blocks from the candy shop, [color=ed1c24]“AHA!! I found the place, it’s… oh, oh no…”[/color] He seemed to grow more and more worried and somewhat scared about the place, almost like he was seeing the scene of a crime. He saw if it was open or closed, surprisingly it was open, what also stood up was the surprisingly good reviews, portraying the arcade as a quite refined and elegant place, despite looking like a nearly abandoned place… like a chuck e cheese he went one time with Kyle… weird, it’s very similar now that he sees it.

[color=ed1c24]“Okay, do you wanna go here? I know it doesn’t really look that good, but… it’s probably the only, and somehow best option there is.”[/color] He showed her the place, a dusty floor and some verily present arcade machines, one of which seemed to be broken down.

Upon being asked the question, Nina sidled up behind Tony, bent down, and pushed her face through the gap between his bicep and the side of his torso, situating her head beneath his underarm like she was putting herself in a headlock using him. She used this vantage to look at the screen of his phone. 

It looked passable. But just to be sure, she snaked her arm around the opposite side of his arm from the one her head was situated, to reach his phone and scroll through a few of the pictures the listing had of the place. She wanted to make sure they had-- yes! A DDR machine! Perfect. She once more gave Tony a thumbs-up, while nodding her head under his arm.

[color=ed1c24]“Nice, now that I see, I think they have a dance dance revolution machine. You gotta see me dancing…”[/color] He smiles, quite awkwardly, his eyes showing some regret… [color=ed1c24]“I’m terrible…”[/color] Tony also feels she’s kinda slithery, like a snake. A very friendly and mute snake. 

[color=ed1c24]“Anyways, we’ll go here… do you need something else?”[/color] Tony’s expression becomes thoughtful, [color=ed1c24]“Ah, right you’re still a ghost. Where’s your body actually, I think you came here as a ghost?”[/color] He points at her very subtly, still with her head self-locked on his underarm.

Nina once more pulled out her Soul Pager and typed out a message for him. This time, she used the arm that was behind Tony’s back, bending it upward to hold her phone up close to his head.

“[color=ed1c24]I[/color] [color=f7941d]left[/color] [color=fff200]it[/color] [color=39b54a]in[/color] [color=00aeef]Nagoya[/color]. '[color=0054a6]S[/color] [color=92278f]cool[/color]."

After giving him a couple moments to read it, she lifted his arm so she could pull her head out and stand back up again. She then lifted her knee and gave him a gentle nudge in the butt, [color=ed1c24]to[/color] [color=f7941d]signal[/color] [color=fff200]he[/color] [color=39b54a]should[/color] [color=00aeef]get[/color] [color=0054a6]moving[/color] [color=92278f]now[/color].

[color=ed1c24]“Okay, I'll move.”[/color] He said, slightly laughing. He lifted his left foot and quickly swung his right hand forward in a pointing action, [color=ed1c24]“This way.”[/color] He puffed his chest out, acting like some wanna-be leader, despite the fact that he was guiding himself with his phone in his free hand.

Moving through Sagamiyama would be easy for most people who live in japan. Tony was a japanese-american, who sometimes spoke like a generic new yorker, it was reasonable that he didn’t have a single clue of how the whole town even operated at all. His pizza burger brain can only do so much to try and adapt to another country. Despite this, he always tries to be friendly with the people who live here, and that would include Nina. Since he first saw her, he knew they could be good friends, she seems so… loud, and that’s without some cheap joke.
