Mosaic City, located along China's coast, is quite large city sometimes called the Crossroads Between Nations due to its diverse population. While it was once a large tourist spot, the city was placed under a blockade as the military appeared claiming there was a radiation leak. The true hazard, however, is much more sinister.

"I'm not sure on what I want to do either right now," Sakuya said. "I do appreciate you allowing me to drop my stuff off at my place though. Thank you, Maria. Perhaps along the way we can come up with something." she said as she stood up and extended her hand towards Maria in an attempt to perhaps help her up if she wanted. If not, it didn't really matter to her. "In that case, with that settled, shall we go?" Sakuya was enjoying Maria's company, but as it turns out, it seemed more like Sakuya would enjoy cuddling and snuggling with the teacher rather than doing anything particularly lewd. Of course, there was a certain other person she would much prefer doing the dirty with, anyway.

Maria was still thinking about what they could do as well. She saw Sakuya extending her hand. Maria took her hand. "Thank you, Sakuya" Was her answer when accepting her hand. She went for the door and waited outside. When both girls were ready she would leave towards Sayuka place. She was still thinking about some things the girls could do. hmm... Maybe the Arcade? or maybe... going to dinner for real together? or... going to swim? Wait that would be a bad idea straight after this visit. "I don't know, going to an arcade? Going to swim, though I don't recommend that right after eating. Or something we could do in your place, if you don't mind?" Maria was brainstorming up loud so Sakuya could give her opinion as well. If you have any idea then that's good to. She said while looking back to Sakuya.

Sakuya nodded as she helped up Maria. As the kindergarten teacher already began to wait outside, Sakuya took her grocery bags and began to follow her out. At the current juncture, the younger girl began to lead Maria to her home in the city. It was at the edge of one of the lower floors of Red Sun Heights, so actually, as it turns out, Maria and Sakuya technically lived in the same building. Sakuya didn't know that of course. She unlocked the door to her apartment and had Maria enter first, before she herself went inside and placed her grocery bags on the table in front of the love seat that was there. "I wouldn't mind either of those options," Sakuya finally answered Maria after they reached the apartment. "There's not a lot to do in my apartment, though, unless you enjoy watching the television or surfing the Internet... Though I guess I do have some books over there. And there's a fridge. By the way, the bathroom's there," Sakuya pointed at the door to the bathroom which was slightly ajar.

Maria followed Sakuya to her home, which happened to be the same building she lived in. Maria's room was a few floors higher then hers. She entered the room and listened to Sakuya. Maria thought it over a while. She finally decided herself, as Sakuya. "Let's... go to the Arcade then? Unless you still come up with something better." Maria said as it was most unlikely that Maria would come up with something new. Maria looked around the apartment a little. The tv and internet were nice and practically needed in normal society today, but to have fun with friends they weren't that good. Well they just ate so it wouldn't be good to eat again and Maria didn't need to go to the bathroom right now. "Are you ready?" Maria said to Sakuya on a enthusiastic tone.

Sakuya was in the middle of arranging her groceries and placing them in the places her stuff needed to be placed as Maria suggested they go to the Arcade. Sakuya had been to the Arcade many times, but she didn't really consider herself an addict. She liked to waste time by playing the dancing and rhythm games, sometimes she would be a target of people watching her, or she would be ignored. Whichever the scenario, she didn't mind. It was a good way to test her reflexes and other skills. Eventually, she finished arranging her things as Maria asked Sakuya if she was ready. "Sure, we can go to the Arcade," she said, "I'm ready now, shall we go now?" Sakuya nodded in affirmation to Maria's question, curtseying politely. Yes, Maria would make a good friend. For some reason, she couldn't see her as someone she could get into a particularly physical relationship with.

Maria waited while Sakuya arranged her Groceries. At first Maria thought maybe she should help her, but she didn't know how Sakuya arranged her stuff and she would probably make a mess of it. So she decided not too. After Sakuya was done she would step out of the room back into the hallway. Now that Sakuya didn't have to carry those groceries anymore the arcade would be more enjoyable. She went back down to the ground floor and outside again. "Do you like any game at the arcade specifically?" Maria asked out of curiosity. As for herself... "I like the dance and rhythm games there, though I also sometimes play others like the shooters or racing. She stated to Sakuya while waiting on her answer.

Sakuya had followed Maria out of the flat, after locking the doors of course, and soon they found themselves down at the ground floor and outside once more. Soon, Maria queried Sakuya on the kinds of games she enjoyed playing at the Arcade. She expressed that she enjoyed the dance and rhythm games a fair bit, interestingly enough, Sakuya was just thinking about those games. "I see... I too, enjoy dancing and rhythm games at the Arcade," Sakuya smiled, fidgeting. "I'm not a fan of the shooting games though. I suppose the racing games are alright too, though." she said, pointing the way forth. "Well, I guess we should get going, Maria~?" Sakuya finally curtseyed again and smiled.

Maria found it really nice that Sakuya too liked the dance and rhythm. She still liked to dance without those but it still was fun to dance on a different way then you usually do. This a whole change. The only thing she hated was if other people were watching her. She didn't feel good if they did that, but it didn't matter if someone else danced with her. There were more then the games she mentioned in the arcade but those were the most well known. Maria always stayed away from the gamble and grab machines. Those were only there to rip of money and it wasn't even fun, according to Maria. Those weren't real games, if you asked her. "Yes we should." Maria said as she walked towards the arcade with Sakuya. She wondered if there was anything new, it was a while ago since she last went. How long was it since you last went? It has been a while as I am gaming home more lately." Maria asked to Sakuya.

Sakuya continued walking alongside Maria to the Arcade, and soon she was asked how long it was since she last went. "Actually, I try to go to the dance machines at least once every day if I can. If my work gets in the way, then I have to skip a session. It's like a form of relaxation for me," Sakuya nodded. "But sometimes gaming at home is alright. It just depends on one's mood and what they feel like doing. I like to test my reaction time and reflexes often, so I would go to the dancing and rhythm games at the arcade." she continued, and soon enough they arrived at the Arcade.
"Well, it looks like we are here. Got any machine you'd like to play? We can have a match."

Sakuya explained that she went to the dance machines very often. At least once a day. That was a lot. That also meant at least 30-31 times a month. She would have a disadvantage but stranger things have happened. Like strange creatures taking over the west in town. Sakuya probably didn't knew that, or so Maria thought. Anyway, that had nothing to do with this. A form of relaxation. Whenever competing against a stranger she usually felt weird and stressed. though she didn't knew Sakuya well, she felt comfortable enough not feel that way around her. It would probably go just fine. "you can play dance and rhythm games at home." Maria remembered Sakuya. Okay you could most likely not play it with that many different people but you could still compete with yourself, always striving to get better yourself.
As they arrived at the arcade Sakuya asked What game Maria wanted to play. Maria saw a simple dance machine in which you had to step on the right tile arrow on the right moment. "That one?" Maria asked the girl.

Maria mentioned being able to play such games at home. While this was true, Sakuya really didn't enjoy doing so - she could only test the speed of her fingers hitting the keyboard. She didn't have a dancepad to play the other kinds of games, nor did she have proper rhythm game controllers. It was hard to get hold of those things. In the meantime, after Sakuya had asked Maria which game she wanted to play, she pointed Sakuya out to the machine which had the arrow pads on it. Kinda like Dance Dance Revolution or something. To which, Sakuya nodded and smiled. "Sure, we can go play on that one." Sakuya started walking over to the machine with Maria, hoping it would turn out alright. Hopefully it would be fine.

Sakuya said she was fine with that one and so Maria went to the machine. She inserted a coin and jumped on the panel to select a song. There weren't many songs so choosing wasn't that hard. After selecting the song she went on her place and waited till the song started and Sakuya was on her place. Once the song started she did well in earlier, but as time went on she lost concentration a little and once she made single mistake she made a few more before catching up again. While that didn't happen often, it most likely would be a deciding factor. She wasn't exactly good at any kind of game, but she wasn't bad in any either. In RPG logic you could call her a jack-of-all-trades.

The song was actually quite familiar to Sakuya, though she had not practiced it very much because she didn't like it. Regardless, she was able to keep her focus - the steps consisted mostly of 8th and 16th notes it seemed, with only a few jacks and only a handful of trills. Sakuya could breeze through a good chunk of the song. However, when she saw how Maria fumbled at points, Sakuya ended up fumbling too because she took her eyes off the screen from a brief second. However, she was quickly able to recover from her mistake and ended up only missing two notes by the end of the piece. She stretched and turned to face Maria after the song was over. "You're not bad. That song's quite tough."

Maria wasn't that familiar with the song. She adapted a little, but She still made a few more mistakes then Sakuya. As a result Sakuya would have won with a higher score then Maria. As a single fumble was followed up by at least one more mistake each time before she could adjust. But it really wasn't that bad. "Wow, you really are good!" Maria congratulated the girl. She really was a lot better then her. Well now Maria had chosen her console. "Do you want to do this one again, or do you want to do something else? I think it's your turn to choose." She told Sakuya. Curious what she would pick.
Post by Sakuya Kyoudou on Mar 3, 2014 2:14:49 GMT -5
Sakuya blushed and bowed a little. She eyed the selection of songs. She felt like she could play on this machine some more. "Thank you, and I think we can play on this machine again. I'll pick the song this time, if you don't mind," Sakuya smiled, soon using the dancepad to navigate through the available songs. Most of the songs on this machine were alright. Sakuya picked one of the more Eastern songs. "How about this one? It's not that long, probably only about a minute or so long. But I think it'll be quite challenging. I think it'll set us on equal footing! Good luck." she said to Maria as she let the song and beatmap load up.
