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?!"

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.

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.
