LILICO GAME CENTER.

[picky]

A train ride to Akihabara later and you find yourself in LILICO Game Center! To borrow from the Locations page, the Game Center has claw machines, Gachapon machines, arcade games of any sort imaginable, a pachinko parlour, and the shining star of the center: The Immersive VR experience. (Please use responsibly. This is a family-friendly party.)

You can find the party in the Jump for Joysticks arcade section of the game center. There really is every arcade game you can imagine, albeit with different names to prevent fourth wall-breaking: Mrs. P*cman, DDR, M*rio Kart, Str**t Fighter, Skee Ball, Wack-a-Mole, etc. Here's a list if you need it.

Try a new game! Teach someone else how to play! Go nuts!

BIRTHDAYS.

[picky]

Is it your birthday, or is your birthday soon? If you or someone else tells Marcille, she will come over to you with a paper sash and crown in various colors. The sash definitely says "Birthday Girl/Boy" or "It's my BIRTHDAY!"

She is giving you the biggest moe eyes and the most hopeful smile ever. You know why she's here.

You can choose to argue with her, or if you opt to wear it, feel free to show it off! Or just have your friends compliment or make fun of you for wearing it.

CAKE AND A SURVEY.

[picky]

Off to the side, the arcade staff has agreed to watch over the table nestled against a wall of the arcade. On it sit two cakes, necessary plates and utensils, a line of sodas, and a decorative sign that says Happy Birthday Yor, Bakugo, and Marcille! The cakes are strawberry shortcake and devil's food. If you want different flavors, you'll have to bring them yourself!

Cakes aside, there's also something interesting on the table: a few sheets of piece of paper and a pen snapped onto a clipboard. A small sign next to it states the following:

Please write your name and birthday!

THE AFTERPARTY.

[picky]

Once the arcade festivities are over and night falls, the party will move over to a nearby restaurant-bar area in Akihabara. Assume it serves the usual Neo Tokyo plates and drinks, although unfortunately not for free! You'll have to foot the bill yourself, or if you're feeling generous, pay for other people's!

Everyone is encouraged to mingle and wind down. Are you comfortable with people knowing about your birthday? Do you think celebrating is appropriate, given the situation? Are you happy to have a distraction? Much to think about!

1. PACHINKO & CAKE.

<sub>[ A. There's nothing like coming back from a bad end canon update and wasting any remaining cash leftover on pachinko. Coincidentally, this is when there is some kind of celebratory event going on. He didn't regard the text message that went out, really, because every received message has gone ignored over the past few days. Dull, half lidded eyes watch the dazzling lights from the pachinko machine, taunting him even when he finds just the right pressure on the knob to send the pinball flying close to the target hole. The flashing slots appear, but exactly with his luck, they never hit anything. Perhaps you're standing by and are trying to grasp the concept of pachinko, or maybe you get some sadistic joy out of watching this depressed guy lose over and over. That's just his life, apparently.

B. Not long after this, though, he does catch the whiff of something sweet and free, so he'll make his way over towards where he finds it, along with a sign. Happy Birthday whoever, whoever and .. Yor? It was her birthday recently? Aren't you supposed to do something about that? Well, he can't get too involved with that right now, there's a slice of cake sitting on the table waiting for him and he's gonna take it (though, it's probably someone else's... yours, maybe? ]</sub>

2. GAMES.

_{[ Toji never had an interest in playing the crane machines, but how hard can it be, right? This is, what he thinks, will be a cheap way to get some sort of last minute present. He makes his way over to a frilly, pink and cute UFO machine and dispenses credits. Every item in this particular machine is this toy, so surely he can get at least one, right? As crane games are rigged along with his shitty luck, he plays this game for a long amount of time, gradually losing his patience. Though, Toji can't help but feel some satisfaction in playing as it is similar to gambling. He's at his limit, though, and clunks his head against the machine, banging one fist on the glass in defeat, not realizing he's caused a crack in it from the impact of his fist. Please, admire this huge, intimidating man and his defeat against the shiba inu toy. ]}

3. DILEMMA. _{( Closed to Megumi & Yor. )}

<sub>[ One way or another, he's ended up with the toy (probably by cheating, somehow) and he makes his way to try and find the person who will be the recipient. Toji has caught glance of her nearby, playing a round at the DDR machine, and awkwardly just kind of.. stands off to the side. Distracted, he doesn't realize he's bumped into somebody else until it's too late.

When he glances down at who it is, it happens to be Megumi, and Toji doesn't also realize the situation he's about to be in, standing with this shiba inu toy where his son can see. ]</sub>

What.
