Arcade games were usually just money-suckers, especially if you didn't know how to play them. They were also usually filled with unwashed miscreants, sweating over the controls in a futile attempt to impress the other nerds. There was one that stood out: a tall girl in ripped jeans and a dorky faded t-shirt. She was playing the crane games and muttering to herself angrily. Under her long jacket, attached to her belt but hidden, were her two daggers. They would bump against her thigh when she would slam her palm down on the button or jump up and down in triumph. So far, Cricket had played this game ten times, and won about 7 small prizes. Oh, and she had blue hair. Needless to say, she didn't really belong here, being twice the age of the other nerds, and being extremely beautiful as well. The little toys she was winning were lined up in front of the controls for the machine and she was gathering a small crown. They didn't bother Cricket though. All her attention was focused on the toy she was so desperately hunting. It was a Totoro plushie, but an older version that she hadn't seen in a while. And she needed it. Cricket aligned the claw above him and slammed her hand down, allowing the claw to drop down, wrapping itself around the plush. Now she just had to wait and watch. |

The arcade was one of Mizu's loves! Though she was horrible at all the games, she still loved to be around all the lights and sounds. She was only going to stop in and try her luck on some of the crane games, maybe when herself a pikachu or something cute like that. When her eyes were fixated on a blue haired, tall beauty! Her hair was a bit darker then Mizu's was, and just as long. It was an unnatural hair color, so being drawn to her wasn't out of the norm. As she made her way towards the girl, she smiled and stepped to her side as she got the claw around the plushie in the glass container. "Ahh! You got it!" She said as she out her hands behind her back and smiled at the woman playing the game. Mizu would appear very short, just above five feet tall, her vibrant light blue eyes sparkling up at the woman. She wore a simple white dress with black flats. Her hair was up in a side pony tail, no helping the fact she already looked under aged. Yet, she was older then the woman standing before her; much older too. Mizu, even if she looked very young, was over two thousand years old. "I wish I could win at these games, but I have no luck to speak of. Or skill." Her voice was very low and smooth. "May I ask if your hair is natural? It's not often that I see natural blue hair. It's beautiful." |

Somehow, even with the blue-haired girl present, Juliette felt the most out of place in this arcade she'd wandered into, drawn by the colorful, flashing lights and the noises. "Qu'est-ce que c'est...?" she'd wondered aloud as she walked in. Something about her poised posture and her somewhat tall stature—standing at over 5'6, close to 5'7—definitely set her apart from a majority of those in the arcade; many of the younger children openly gave her odd looks, wondering what this woman (and a foreigner, at that) was doing here. It was then Juliette noticed that there was not one blue-haired girl, but two! She walked towards them at once, her vibrant aquamarine eyes glancing towards the curious claw machine game for a moment. She hadn't encountered any games like this in France—but then again, she'd never been the kind of girl to play that many games. Well, not those frivolous ones with no true goal. The only game she played here in Japan was that of constantly keeping up the appearance of a charming French sort of socialite. "Bonjour," she said softly to the two girls. They both appeared younger than she, but in this country it was difficult to make an accurate assumption of age, it seemed. She didn't seem that fascinated with their unnatural hair color—even in the short time she'd been in this city, she'd already seen a great deal of unnatural things—but instead seemed more interested in the crane game, watching the metal claw as it moved about, grabbing at plushies and such. "Curious game," the French woman muttered quietly, her Japanese thick with her accent. |

Distracted by a girl with a hair style not unlike Cricket's own, the woman didn't see the claws latch onto the plush. The crowd hushed as it began to lift it up. Her eyes snapped at once from Mizu back to the game as she held her breath. It lifted Totoro up into the air, and seemed to be holding on. But the biggest test was when the crane traveled across the box. Cricket closed her eyes as it did it's job and... It made it! The plush was dropped safely into the prize box! The small crown cheered, Cricket herself jumped into the air with excitement before she fished the toy out of the box. With a silly grin on her face, she gathered her won items and decided to call it a day, placing them lovingly into a tote bag she had on her. "Sorry about that." She turned to Mizu, easily. "These games require an equal amount of luck and skill, I think." Cricket blushed. She didn't mean to imply that she had a lot of either, but it must be the truth with all the prizes she won, "And yeah. My hair grows in like this. Though not on my legs." She bent and rolled up a pant leg to show the blonde hair there, totally unashamed of the fact that she hadn't shaved in a while. It was then that a third joined their little group as the crowd vanished. "Oh. Yeah." Cricket chuckled, "I guess you get used to them when you like games a lot. Want me to show you how to play? I can give you both some tips." Ever the eager one to entertain strangers, she just smiled at the two girls. |

Mizu was fully impressed, she clapped for her and jumped with her as she won the plushie! Composing herself as she spoke to her, Mizu nodded her tiny little head. Laughing a bit when the blue haired girl rolled her pant leg up and exposed her not so hairy, but still enough to see, leg. The thing was Mizu completely understood! She just recently began shaving her legs, the concept of taking a blade to your leg without cutting one self was extremely new to her. Razors, who knew after decades of use they'd end up removing hair from the body. "When I was your age we didn't have razors! So it's nice to see someone have no worries about what comes natural on a body!" Mizu giggled and looked at the other girl. The blue haired girl playing the claw machine had people already lined up for autographs. Turning back to the blue haired girl, she spoke again. "I would love some pointers. You can call me Mizu." She bowed her head, almost looking a bit robotic when she did, gah ---Mizu when will she lean to now correctly. |

[[ooc: sorry Karin... I'm skipping you.]] As much as she immersed herself in asian culture, Cricket would never get used to the bowing. With a crooked smile on her face, she mirrored the movement. After the formality was over, she moved aside to let Mizu stand before the machine. The comment about the other woman not being her age quickly went right over the girl's head. Maybe it would hit her later if Mizu mentioned it again. For now, she had no idea that the person before her was actually over 1000 years old. "So, there's obviously a joystick." She pointed to the thing in question, "And a button that you press to make the crane go down." The button was large, round, red, and located to the right of the joystick. "The luck side of the game is trying to find a toy that's sticking up enough so that the crane can grab it. Not all crane games have that, especially since a lot of arcades like to cram their toys in so no one can win. I was lucky with this one." She smiled again, leaning against the machine. "The skill part is getting the crane lined up with the toy you want." Cricket glanced into the corner where one toy was sitting perched above the rest. She pointed it out to Mizu. "That's the one you want to go for. It's prime for the picking." |

'There's obviously a joystick...really? A fucking idiot would--''Attalu, that is enough..' Mizu stopped Attalu from continuing her rant as the blue haired girl, Cricket, began helping her. She stepped forward and grabbed the joystick with her left hand and put her fingers onto the buttons. Her tiny head turned towards Cricket and nodded her head. The concept: Grab the toy that looked the easiest to get with the claw, using a stick to move and a button to go down and up. Simple concept, right? Why was it so freaking hard then...Seeing as though Mizu didn't actually pay for this game, if she didn't grab the toy she wouldn't make the girl pay for another round at the crane game. Anyways, back to the game! Mizu turned her head back towards the claw and began moving it over towards the plushie at which Cricket had been pointing at. Making a small 'mmm' noise, Mizu brought it right over the top of it. This girl was good at the game, and if Mizu followed her directions to the 'T' she may actually walk out a victor! This was intense, the feeling of her heart slowing down and all eyes on her as she lowered the claw down on top of the bright yellow pikachu that called out saying 'pick me pick me'. It made her anise, but she couldn't lose her cool, she had to concentrate just as Cricket did with her's. She brought the claw down. It touched the pikachu and everyone held their breath as Mizu pressed the button with her right index finger. It began closing onto the Pikachu's head. As the claw pulled up, it slipped a bit from the plushie's head but still kept its grasp. It held tightly onto the top of its head as it moved towards the opening for her to get it out of the slot... Then it fell, just barely missing the opening. A couple awe's could be heard from behind her, but Mizu kept a smile on her face as she turned towards Cricket. Raising her hand and rubbing the back of her neck she spoke. "It was so close! I've never got that close to winning before. Thank you, I'm Mizu by the way. What's your name?" She spoke so sweetly, and bowed her head a bit. |

"Oh! I'm Cricket." She blushed again, but mirrored Mizu's motion. It was funny. Neither of them was directly from Japan, but they both adopted the formalities pretty well. "Nice to meet you, Mizu-san." Cricket suppressed the goofy grin she could feel spreading on her face. She loved using honorifics, and tried to place them on the end of everyone's name when she could. She turned towards the rest of the arcade as she adjusted the tote bag on her shoulder, "There are other games to play, if you don't mind indulging a dork like me." Cricket already had her eye on a racing game. Maybe she could win some tickets and try to get more prizes to decorate her already overflowing apartment, "I don't mind teaching you them if you don't know how to play. It was fun already with the crane game." |

Mizu giggled and raised her hand up. "Hi Cricket! It's a pleasure to meet a fellow blue haired girl!" With a fierce nod of her head, Mizu agreed to go on about at the arcade with Cricket. She hadn't played many arcade games in her years but she was willing to give it a shot, or well at least watch her. Mizu didn't have money on her, she didn't normally carry it around because she never really bought things. When she ate, she would cook herself something, may should weird but she normally just ate fruit. Anyways, she turned towards the machines and looked around. Seeing what was available to play, she looked up at Cricket, who towered over her and smiled. "Besides the Crane game here, what is your favorite arcade game?" She said sweetly. "Mine has to be the pin ball games, hitting the side buttons are very simple for me. I always feel like a winner when I play them." Kya, she was so innocent sounding. Like a child, somewhat. It was unfortunate for Mizu that her vocal cords didn't mature over the years. Along with that, her body doesn't grow, to forever be looked at as a child. Well, if somehow Cricket and her got to talking more of a mature conversation, she'd soon figure out that she wasn't seventeen. |

Cricket nodded twice, "It's settled then. Pinball it is." Pinball was always fun for the woman to watch, though her skills were rusty at best. It was a game seen in many arcades of her childhood, but back then, they were always over-crowded with people trying to show off or tilt the machines. Now, as they approached those same games, she noticed that no one was around them. How strange that a thing that used to be so popular was now deserted. It touched Cricket in a weird way, like a heartache. She set her shoulders back and approached the games with awe. They had a few from a long time ago like The Addams Family and Indiana Jones. Grinning, Cricket took her spot in front of the latter, admiring the machine. She turned back to Mizu, "These look to be in great shape, considering how old they are. Ready to play?" She was over excited to get started with the games. After all, there were tickets to be won. |
