#i miss arcades

[drmajalis]

For the drabble prompts: Flametail and Kirara. "Unexpected friendship"

It had taken a lot of prodding of the Rhodes Interior Manager to allow Kirara to set up her little vintage arcade room.

Video games were not exactly the biggest past time among the mostly Ursus, Kazdelian and Yan operators employed at Rhodes, and those from Victoria and Leithania mostly stuck to their own brand of Agima and Itara home computers, which left Kirara's little collection of old arcade cabinets still collecting dust after they were finally set up.

Every week she came in to do some general maintenance on the decade old CRTs, lubricating the sticks and buttons, replacing springs if necessary. She kept them working for a crowd of one, but it was solid work, and validating effort.

And then one day she came in hearing voices, and the clicking of buttons.

"...See what's so special?"

"It's just... the pizza shop where I used to live had this same game!"

"You had a pizza shop in your district?"

"Yeah, he always sold cheap slices to me and the other kids, and- oh, are you the owner here?!"

The two Zalaks camped at one of her space shooter cabinets spotted her and waved, with the red haired one quickly looking back to the screen.

"Everything was on freeplay, so, I just assumed it was open to everyone... I'm Sona, and this is Ashley!"

Kirara nodded, smiled, and put her tool bag down at the door before walking up behind the two, with Ashlock moving to the side so she could get a view of the play area.

"Oh, you're doing quite well!"

Flametail grinned. "I wanna beat the highscore here!"

Kirara chuckled. "I... would love to see that."

A little bit old at this point, but I am just about to finish filling out a sketchbook I've had for a while so I figured I could share some of my favorite sun and moon sketches from it! Still like this Eclipse design a lot :)

(announcer voice) AND HERE COMES CECIL NIGHTVALE WITH THE STEEL CHAIR

[ID: a coloured sketch of Cecil Gershwin Palmer, in monochrome Night Vale Purple. Cecil is in front of a microphone displaying an ‘on air’ light, looking off to the side and taking off his headphones, an exclamation mark over his head.

text bubbles around him read;

“Be sure to wish these sexymen luck as they compete to the- oh? One moment, listeners… Well! It seems that I have also been conscripted into this sexyman tournament! I think this would be a good time to go to the weather…” end ID.]

Classic, heheh ✨

I wanted to try something a little different with my comic layout. I actually like how it turned out! 😄

THANK YOU SO MUCH BTW 😭💕 If Lyla lived in more modern times, she would definitely be into video games! This was a fun idea!!

Please tell me Drew has given CatNap the finger, or some other sort of insult. (That might've almost ended in death.) Shame the last thing he sees won't be Drew's fabulous Minecraft Creeper (Aw man.) boxers. Ú-Ù

Absolutely.

a friend of a friend proposed the whole "my crush is so oblivious even my wingman can't help me" trope with these guys and i was like, hell yes, a charismatic ladykiller being 100% clueless about a gay guy flirting with him is like my absolute bread and butter

[t-ycho]

No offense intended, but why should he go anywhere with anyone?

I didn't realize Arcade would stop being a companion after you did his quest he was like. Thanks for helping me assemble the elderly avengers. Here's my dad's 300 pound armor so you can't fast travel while you're in the middle of the wilderness. Goodbye forever 😁👍
