virtualoo Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 "It must be a pretty good prize then..." Fieros said as he grew quite curious of the prize. It was weird to be so social with someone and at an arcade. Sure, he had few friends but this was actually really nice. "Well...lets go!" He said as he tried to find the racing game. "So, how do we play?" Fieros asked as he found the machine and sat down on the seat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YellowPerch Posted October 7, 2016 Author Share Posted October 7, 2016 Horos followed Fieros as they nearly ran through the arcade to find the racin game. Fieros was the first to spot it and sat down in his own chair. Horos took the seat to his left, two chairs still left empty. "Let's see...." Horos dug into his pocket. "I have a game card so all I have to do is touch it to this pad here and ta-da!" Fieros' screen came to life and soon after Horos' own came to life.

virtualoo Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 Fieros watched as Horos swiped the card and the screen started playing its music and making noises on the start screen. "That is pretty cool" He said shyly with a small smile, looking at the console and its buttons and wheel. It does not seem crazy difficult to play and he gripped at the steering wheel. He was eager to play now, waiting for Horos to get ready to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YellowPerch Posted October 9, 2016 Author Share Posted October 9, 2016 Horos never went as far as picking his car or the track or the controls. A randomized everything and just got on with the race. He normally always came in first against the computers anyway. Horos reached over and pressed a button on Fieros' own console, randomize get his picks as well. Then the track came to life on either one of the screens and started counting down. 5....4.....3....2....1....

virtualoo Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 Fieros gripped the wheel harder, ready to start the game. He waited for that countdown and soon speed off down the virtual track. The first few turns were a bit difficult to make, trying to get bonuses while still going fast. It was challenging to do both but he made his best attempt at it. "Careful, catching up to you!" He said with a small smile as he tailed Horos's car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YellowPerch Posted October 9, 2016 Author Share Posted October 9, 2016 The red light turned green and both Fieros and Horos pressed on the gas pedal and took off from the start. The great thing about this game was that it shook and bounced the seat as if you were really in the car. So when Horos managed to run through mud his chair bounced and rocked him from side to side. But he soon caught up to the fourth place car. He passed him, then the third and Fieros then announced he was behind him. He caught a glimpse from the others screen and did in fact see he was catching up. "Shit yeah you are. Gotta up my game then!"

virtualoo Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 "You better..." Fieros said with a small little smile of his own as he tried to keep himself straight and not curve on the road. He did not know why he was so quickly opening up to practically a stranger or how he managed to let himself get here. But he was enjoying it as the two cars were now neck and neck. "Only one more lap.." He said as he focused on the road even harder with so little of the race left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YellowPerch Posted October 11, 2016 Author Share Posted October 11, 2016 As promised, Horos did up his game. He passed the remaining lead cars and was now in first place. However, that seemed to only encourage Fieros as his own car came to drive up along side his own. "Damnit your good. I've never raced anyone this intense before." Horos laughed out but kept up his speed. One lap to go, the NPC cars were way too far back to now be considered part of the race. Horos tightened his grip on the games steering wheel in excitement. He could see the finish line just ahead of them. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
virtualoo Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 Fieros smiled at the good time he was having, enjoying himself in the moment. Now it was neck and neck...just...a bit further. He could almost see the finish line up ahead of them. He didn't have to worry about being shy, the moment just made him focus so hard. There was not much he could do from here but go forward and hope he wins.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YellowPerch Posted October 15, 2016 Author Share Posted October 15, 2016 This was the best time Horos had ever had coming to this arcade. He always came by himself and never once played with anyone else. His face was ripped in half by the largest grin he could have mustered at the moment. Neck and neck, head to head, nose to nose, however you called it, the cars they raced were side by side with one another until literally inches away from the finish line. Horos' car suddenly hit something, causing the steering wheel to jerk and Horos to drive off the road. Fieros came in first. In shock about what just happened, Horos wasn't even able to make it past the finish line and watched as all NPCs finished before him. "Okay.....that was....unexpected."

virtualoo Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 It took a second for Fieros to realize he had won after he was so focused in the moment on the race. He....won something? He actually won something? He looked at shocked as Horos seemed to be at all of this. "I...won something? That's...a surprise" Fieros said his shock out loud, looking at his time. It made him remember about the high score and the prize, wondering if either of them beat the high score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YellowPerch Posted October 15, 2016 Author Share Posted October 15, 2016 Horos let a laugh out as Fieros announced his shock. They both were, it was unbelievable. Horos leaned over and ruffled Fieros' hair. "That was the best car race I've ever had on this thing!" Suddenly a sound chimed on Fieros' screen announcing that he put in his initials for the new best record. "Dude, look! You beat the high score on this game!"

virtualoo Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Normally he would feel a little weird about his hair being ruffled so childishly but either he didn't care right now or he didn't mind it much in the heat of the moment What was definitely shocking was when he heard the other point out that he had gotten the high score. "I did...?" Fieros eyes widened and a grin spread across his face. "I did!" He laughed as he put his initials into the machine. "I need to find out what I want, let's go!" He said eagerly with a smile still on his face. Now his curiosity could be answered.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YellowPerch Posted October 21, 2016 Author Share Posted October 21, 2016 Horos laughed boisterously at the others excitement. it had been a long time since he felt this happy. Heck, it had been even longer since he felt this happy with someone else nearby. He hopped out of his seat and followed Fieros as they made their way to the front to find out what it was he won. A large screen at the front showed large virtual text that congratulated fieros' win. His initials blinked in a multitude of colors while it congratulated him.

virtualoo Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Fierce didn't remember the last time he felt so excited about anything. He had to try to reign himself in and control himself somewhat. He did feel a little embarrassed but he was still too excited about winning. Fires looked around to try and find the person who would give him whatever the prize would be. Just waiting to find out what it was was the most exciting part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
