To the arcade! A boxer and a box... ing game fanatic? Oh.

Who: Nester, Little Mac
What: The two go to the nearby arcade to get candy, pizza, and any other assortment of foods, and play games!
Where: ARCADE. 8)
When: November 2nd
Warnings: Ummm maybe an occasional swear from Nester if he gets frustrated with a game, but the worst he says is hell and crap (and it's still rarely), so.

"Hey! Heeeeeey!"

Nester was going all around the dormitory complex (which was a bit messy still from the zombie ordeal), knocking on a bunch of boys' dorm room doors and looking for his new buddy. Where the heck did Mac reside at? That's what he wanted to know. He absolutely could not find him. It'd probably be easy if he knew his dorm room number.

He brought up to Mac that he was going to head off to the arcade to get some candy and pizza. He was going to eat that and play some games to make up for a ruined Halloween. He decided to let Mac tag along, and that was that!

Now he... just needed to find him.

Thankfully, though, the dorm room he just knocked on would happen to be the right one. "Heeeeeey! Is Mac in here?!"

You found it, Nester. Mac was getting his shoes on when Nester came knocking. "Yeah! Hey, Nester! I'll be right out!" Mac was actually pretty excited. He felt bad for Nester because his Halloween was spent being a zombie so the best Mac could do was give the guy a good time. He's not at all nearly as big of a gamer as Nester is but he finds them fun anyway.

He opened the door to greet Nester.

Nester broke out into a huge grin when he realized that he finally got the right door, and it just grew when Mac answered it. "About time I found you! C'moooon, we've gotta hurry so we can get the food super fresh!" He then closed the door for Mac and began to drag him off. Clearly, he was an impatient kid and wanted to get there ASAP. Don't worry, Mac, he'll be less rushy when he's there.

"Do you ever go to arcades?!"

Wow, when it came to games, Nester was serious! Mac went with the flow despite Nester dragging and rushing him, he really didn't mind his behavior. It was understandable to him.

"Not very often. I used to go more when I was younger but even then it wasn't very much."

"Then now's a good time as any! Who the heck can stop playing games EVER? They're the best!" Nester spoke. "And I'm the best at them! I bet I could beat even you at boxing games!"

They stepped outside of the building and into the cool autumn weather. Thankfully, the weather wasn't deathly cold, but quite fresh and far from hot. It was wonderful weather characteristic of autumn and it felt very nice.

"Hehehe! You're on!" Actually Nester. You would probably beat him in everything. Even boxing games. Mac is not very good at them.

The weather WAS very nice. Mac came to the school and he hadn't seen one sunny day yet. "Come to think of it, I haven't even been to the arcade here yet!" Since Nester was so excited, he knew it HAD to be nice.

Nester actually winning something? Gasp, that rarely happened. Nester is actually, in truth, one of the worst gamers out there. He'll just never admit that.

"Then you're missing out!" Nester stated. "The arcade's really rad! It's got a bunch of lights and games and even a huuuuge bowling alley! And prizes, all kinds of prizes!"

If that's true, then they juuuuuust might have a tie then. Maybe. This might be a test to see which one sucks MORE at video games XD.

However, what Mac WAS pretty good at was sports. Boxing was his strongest of course; but that's not to say he wasn't good at any others. So the bowling alley interested him. "Bowling? They even got a bowling alley here? Awesome, I haven't bowled in years either! Now I really can't wait!"

It wasn't long until they reached the arcade.

"Yeah! Bowling's my favorite sport apart from football! I'm way good at it, too!" Nester folded his arms over his chest as they walked, looking very prideful of himself. Then again, when did he NOT look like that?

It didn't take them long to reach the arcade, indeed. "See?! Doesn't it look rad?" He opened the doors for them to go inside, and inside, they were greeted with quite a sight: flashing lights everywhere accompanied with the sounds of working machines. It all sounded like music to his ears.

"Wanna eat first?"

((EDIT: Did you just tag me? Because I think LJ's acting like it glitch!deleted it. %D;;; ))

"Heheheh, then this'll be interestin'!" Mac swallowed Nester's words and believed them despite Nester's prideful get-up. Mac is nice and oblivious like that.

"Whoaaaa..." Oh yeah, it was much nicer than he EVER would have thought. Much bigger, more games...it was a really cool sight. "This place really IS cool!"

After hearing Nester's question about food, Mac nodded. He hadn't eaten all day. If his caoch ever found that out, that he didn't eat at least three square meals, he'd get the lecture of a lifetime. His stomach was already growling in protest. "Sure, I'm starvin!"

"Alriiiiiight!"

Nester dragged Mac over to the concession stand within the arcade. They had a huge number of quick food (a lot of it being junk food) there. From hot dogs to big pretzels and, of course, pizza, they had a decent variety. They also had a bowl of candy left over from the Halloween fun night ~~that Nester missed BAWWW~~.

"I'm getting some chocolate bars and pizza with soda! What are you getting?"

~~Chocolate bars lolololol~~

"If they got burgers, I'd like one of them! And a soda for me, too!" Mac chuckled to himself when Nester said chocolate bars. Reminded him of his old coach. Chocolate addict, that he was. Flabby and fat, he was. Good coach, he was. ~~Okay, no more Yoda speak from me again, I swear.~~

"I'll get us a seat!" And with that, Mac did so. Although, there weren't many people there other than himself.

~~Maybe Nester's secretly Doc. Secretly. (no that is horrible)~~

Nester nodded. "Yep, they've got awesome burgers! Nothing like the mall's burgers, though! They have double pounders there!" Those were HUGE, but really amazing.

"Yeah, okay!" Nester replied before ordering their food. The pizza and everything was already made, thankfully. They always did pre-cook their food, and they came just in time for it to still be quite fresh and warm.

He made two rounds, one to bring the food to the table, and another to bring the drinks and a bag of candy.

A mall? This place had a mall, too? Learn something new everday, I guess, he thought to himself.

Once Nester brought all the food, Mac smiled brightly. He was SO hungry. "Thanks, Nester! N' thanks for lettin' me come along!" And with that, down the hatch. Mac is a very fast eater. And the fact that he was super hungry didn't help. Mac, that's not good for your digestive system.

Nester responded with a, "Yeah, yeah, no problem!" before beginning to chow. It didn't take him too long to eat that slice of pizza at all. He was pretty hungry himself, especially after a hellish night two days ago and mostly sleeping yesterday. He didn't really get to eat much then, so he was doing some catching up.

"Are you gonna get any candy?!"

"Oh yeah! Right!" And so, Mac helped himself to a couple of pieces from the bag Nester got. Not too much because Nester probably wanted it more than he did. Anyway, he finished his meal and turned around to look at all the games.

"Dang. What should we play first, huh?"

Nester made sure that Mac didn't take too much, anyway. He was hording most of this candy for himself ~~sorry, Sonic, none4u~~, so he was more than likely not going to give too much of it up. At least Mac was considerate enough not to take very much of it!

"Uhhhh! How about that boxing game?! It's right there," He pointed at the machine, which had attachable, motion sensor boxing gloves to go with the actions that happened on the screen. There were two pairs, so it definitely had a two-player mode. Perfect for them!

Oh heck yes. HECK YES. "Oh boy! Sounds awesome! Let's do it!" It isn't the real thing, but it was pretty close. He'd been waiting for the opportunity to box with someone, even if it's all digital. He rushed to get the gloves on.

Nester was ready to get his gloves on when he realized that he hadn't gotten the both of them tokens yet. "Uhhh hold on!"

He ran off to the token machine and exchanged some money for about 20 tokens to start with. This game required 4 for the 2-player (on the contrary to 2 for the 1-player). He inserted them, got his gloves on, and got ready!

The instructions showed the controls, which were pretty much motion sensor controls for punching and jabbing in different directions, as well as blocking and dodging. It seemed easy!

Ready...

GO!

"Yeeeeah!" With that, Nester sent a punch for Mac's character.

Mac was still trying to get used to the whole digital boxing thing. It shouldn't feel different, he thought, but it did. In his moment of frustration, the punch got to Mac. "Aw crap!" Mac fumbled with the game's gloves a bit more and gave Nester's character a punch. Mac was slowly getting used to it...

Nester was able to manage a dodge this time, but his timing was only barely right. That was probably because Mac was having slight problems getting used to this, it seemed.

"Oh yeah?! Watch this!" He then shot out a double-jab towards him.

Fumble, fumble...more fumbling. Nester hit Mac again, but Mac blocked the second jab luckily. This wasn't good, Nester was beating him. The red bar that said HP on it was a bit less on his side than Nester's. Maybe he should pretend it was a real match? Let's see how that works for him. Mac threw an uppercut, maybe starting to feel more comfortable about the game?

That one hit really well and knocked Nester's HP down into the yellow zone. That meant about halfway down. "Woah, that was rad, but watch this!" He decided to be a little more relentless and gave Mac a nice flurry of punches. One, two, three, four, many of them in rapid fire.

... Until he did it so much that the game didn't register the punches so well and stopped until he stopped. They then worked properly again.

"Lame." Hopefully he got some hits in, though.

Some went through, some Mac blocked, and the rest the computer didn't register. Now he was also in the yellow zone. "Awesome one, Nester! Now how 'bout this?" He throws three punches. One in the gut area of Nester's character, one in the head, and the third in the stomach again. Hopefully, that registered.

They all registered. Nester managed to block the first blow to the stomach and went to block the second in the head, but he was too late. It hit and it gave Mac the opportunity for his next jab to the stomach to hit. Nester was now in the red zone with very little health left.

"Maaaan! Uh..." He clenched his fists tighter and decided to go for two quick side punches. Hopefully, they were quick enough that Mac would be hit by at least one.

Edited 2009-11-03 15:45 (UTC)

He blocked the first one, but the second one got him. Apparently, the side was a sensitive spot in the game because that one punch took alot of damage. He just got in the red zone now as well. It's neck to neck now. He wasn't going to back down now. This game was getting exciting. "Here it comes, Nester!" Double jab to the head.

Bam. Nester's character took the head and it completely depleted his health, knocking him out. Mac was the victor of this battle, just by a hair!

The boy frowned a little, obviously unhappy that he didn't win. What a sore loser. "Uhhh, I bet you just got lucky!" Nester commented. Since Mac won, tickets wound up being discharged from the second-player's side of the machine.

Mac was happy that he won, of course, though he thought that he did get lucky considering he had a hard time getting used to how the game worked. "Heheheh, that was fun! You did good, Nester! You had me worried for a sec, ya almost got me! Good game." Mac saw the tickets and got them.

"Of course I did good, I ALWAYS do good," Nester triumphantly stated, hands on his hips. He was acting as if that was completely factual. Pfft.

"Anything else you wanna play?! They've got shooting games and arcade classics like Great Giana and stuff!"

"Whatever you wanna play, Nester. I'm cool with anythin'." Mac shoved the tickets in his pocket. He didn't know if he really wanted any prizes, but they were worth keeping anyway.

"Alriiiiiight! Uhhh," Nester glanced around and finally noticed a 'Break-in' machine. ((Break-out! parody. |D;;)) "Hey! Let's play that! I'm gonna go first!" He rushed over to the machine, expecting for Mac to follow along, and stuck some tokens into the machine.

((Sorta like that, but less cutesy?))

Nester didn't even make it past level 1, though.

Awesome.

Mac followed and watched. He never seen a game like it before. He probably shared Nester's frustration when he lost. "Aw darn. You almost got it, too..."

The game looked kinda tricky to him, but he wanted to try it anyway. The challenge was the fun, anyway. "Can I give it a shot?"

"Yeah, sure thing!" Nester handed Mac some tokens and stepped away from the machine. "Let's see if you can beat me!"

Nester doubted it.

Ah darnnn, Mac didn't get past the first level either. But he looked like he had fun though. "Aw nuts! Aw well...ya win some, ya lose some."

"I guess, but I so did better!"

Nester glanced around at the other machines playing on. "Anything else you wanna play or should we go look for prizes at the counter?!" They had some tickets for some little, little things, and if they needed more, they allowed cash to exchange for tickets as well.

Mac wasn't very sure. He didn't have a lot of tickets and the prizes he could afford with them weren't interesting to him. And he didn't have much money left. Maybe if they got some more tickets? He looked around to see if he could find another game. "Ooooh! How about that one?" He pointed over to a fighting game. "Wanna play "Immortal Kombat"?"

((I suck at game puns, forgive me :|))

"Oh yeah!" Nester looked over at the machine. "That sounds like a good idea, I love that game!" Cue Nester's characteristic dragging-Mac-to-the-machine. He sure was doing that a lot today, wasn't he?

"I'm using Prince Kitan!" Nester decided, selecting the ~~bad parody of Princess Kitana~~ character.

Mac picks ~~Sub~~Below Zero. Seemed pretty cool enough; game seemed pretty simple enough. Just move the joystick and use a couple of buttons. Sounded simple enough to Mac The First Timer anyway.

Oh Mac, you were in for a surprise.

"Watch this!" As soon as the fight start, Nester began to start mashing the buttons (randomly, shh), hoping to unleash some combos out of luck. ~~Because he forgot them.~~

asdfghjk Look at Nester go. Now look at Mac go, he did what Nester had done. Pressing random buttons and see if anything happens. This is a battle of the wits now!

Okay no it's not.

They wound up doing nearly equal damage to each other due to their similar button mashing. Nester and Mac were head-to-head for the whole fight as their HP bars began to drop gradually.

Who would win this one?

((You can decide, if you want! \o))

The unthinkable happened. A very rare thing in fighting games. They apparently through the last hit at the same time. Both got knocked down. Draw.

"..."

Nester only stared at the screen as the large 'DRAW!' text flashed up on the screen, blinking in and out right in their faces.

"... How the HECK," He muttered. That usually never happened.

"Did we do, like... the same thing?!"

"I-I guess...Wow, um, I just threw a punch and you did and then..."

Wow, in shock.

"... Weiiiiiird," Nester commented. "That's freaky! Whatever, let's go play another game!"

He retrieved the small amount of tickets that dispensed for each of them (since it was a draw). He then glanced around and found one of their flight sims, based on his favorite series: Aviator's Wings: The Arcade Version.

"Wanna play that?!" It was a simple game, so he could briefly explain it to Mac when they went to play it.
