April 7th - Welcome Party

[cartesio]

Welcome Party

Though you've never seen the casino before, it is easy to find today. This is partly attributable to the music spilling from open doors right into the town. The people of Cartesio have made good on their announcement - doubtlessly, there is a party going on here.

Anyone entering will be confronted with a friendly citizen pulling them aside to inform them of their dress rental service. Though it is called 'rental' there is no actual fee to be paid. The townspeople have simply brought a collection of suits and cocktail dresses into the casino foyer and they are offering to lend them out for the occasion. A folding screen to get changed behind is provided as well.

Once you venture deeper into the casino, you'll find yourself in a surprisingly spacious room. Tables that might normally occupy the open space have been pushed to the wall and filled with various buffet foods. Though you might be tempted to spend your whole afternoon trying out the various local specialties, the rhythmic music from the speakers tries to lure you to the dancefloor. A few locals are already swinging their hips to the beat.

Though if you're simply looking for the main highlight of a casino, you won't have to look long either. Across from the buffet, you will find a wide variety of game machines. Pachinko, slot machines.... even a few odd-one-out games that look like they should rather belong in an arcade. Try your luck, try your skill! If you prove successful, an employee is waiting to hand out various fun goods to you.

There are quite a few townspeople in attendance on this party, but there is a silent understanding that you tourists are the VIPs here. Anywhere you go, any game you want to try, the citizens are quick to move aside for you and let you have the maximum amount of fun.

I'm not sure it can hear you.

[Or at least he thinks so. Who knows with these newflangled machines]

[goturshit]

No, he can hear me. He knows what he did.

[ i mean yeah, okay, you can say that to the guy from the past, kinzie, sure ]

[chiefminion]

He can? [Wow, this technology is quite something, amazing even for the guy who comes from the world full of mad scientists] What did he do?

[goturshit]

He went and lost a life on me at level five.

[chiefminion]

Wow. That's rough? [...wait a second...] Wait, if you're the one calling the shots here, wouldn't that be your fault?

[goturshit]

[ ... ]

Absolutely not, I don't know what you're talking about.

[chiefminion]

Way to put the blame onto your subordinates.

[Throwing that innocent yellow ball under the bus, Kinzie? Shaaaaame]

[goturshit]

Listen, I'm not angry at him, just disappointed.

[chiefminion]

That's the exact same thing! [Oh well. That aside...] Besides, what's the point of this...machine, exactly?

[goturshit]

Get points, win prizes? I dunno. I'm having fun.

[chiefminion]

[Somehow, that doesn't entice him to take the leap and play one of the arcade machines. He does get to one of them and puts his hands in pretty much the same way Kinzie is doing her thing on the Pacman machine, but doesn't start]

...hard to believe this technology is for something harmless. I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop.

[For something awful to happen all of a sudden. There's nothing wrong with being paranoid about technology you don't know]

[goturshit]

[ she shrugs, and says like it's perfectly normal: ]

Not every piece of technology tries to murder you, you know. I'd have to tamper with this thing hard before it could kill someone.

[chiefminion]

You mean it'd be possible to do that? How?

[While he would have the knowledge to follow the instructions, most likely, he asks because he sure would like to know in case someone tries to do that to an arcade machine he's using]
