coin toss!

B

"An arcade."

"An arcade?" she repeats. "Really? We going for high scores on something?"

"No, no," you chuckle. "I want to win you things from one of those crane machine games."

"You wanna win me things?" Raven chuckles as she gets up and walks with you. "You sure love spoiling me."

"Are you saying you don't like being spoiled?"

"Well, no..." she smirks. "I'm just saying, you like spoiling me."

"Well, you're worth spoiling," you say as the two of you exit Ops.

Raven smiles as you two enter the lift. You go down to the garage, over to Shadowfax and ride out into town.

"Do you know where the local arcade is?" you ask her.

"Once," she says. "I think it's this way."

She guides you around, and you find the Jump City Arcade a few blocks from the mall.

"Parking meters," you say as you pull up to the curb. "Well, we'll stay an hour, see what we win, and then go to the mall."

"Alright," she smiles as you put money in the meter.

You two enter the arcade and go to the token machine near the front. The ratio is four tokens for one dollar, so basically a token is a quarter. You put in five dollars and get 20 tokens.

"This will be a good start," you say. "Let's find those claw games."

You and Raven walk through the aisles, hearing the sounds of various video games in the background. You hear fighting game sound effects, gun shots from shooters, and 8-bit sounds from retro games.

You enter the part of the arcade with prize games, and see a digital spin wheel game being restocked, and by a seemingly familiar person. The person turns around and notices you two.

"Raven?" he says.

"Oh great," she says. "You work here, too?"

"Sometimes," he says.

"Does your name tag read 'Goth'?" you ask.

"Maybe," he says as he awkwardly shuffles away.

You and Raven look at each other with a bit of a smirk.

"Well," you say. "Oh, there's the claw machines."

You two walk over and look at the various prizes inside each machine.

"Plenty of stuffed animals to choose from," you say.

"Yeah but they're all teddy bears or ponies," she says.

Raven walks down the line of machines, and her eyes immediately widen as she looks into the last one. She stares into it, hands on the glass like an excited child. You walk over and see all the atypical stuffed animals inside it.

"What are these?" she asks.

"This one looks imported," you say. "I believe those are all Japanese mascots."

"I want that one," she says, pointing to the brown creature with the gaping mouth with sharp teeth.

"Ah, Domo-kun," you say. "NHK's mascot."

"And that one," she says pointing at the droopy panda.

"Tarepanda of San-X," you say.

"And--"

"Okay, okay," you chuckle. "I'll get you one of each of all these things."

Raven moves aside and you put a token into the machine. The crane activates, and you move it around to where Domo's head is poking out. You carefully manuever the crane claw and lower it. It grabs Domo around his torso, under his arms. The crane lifts up, and Domo's arms keep him inside the claw.

"One Domo-kun, coming right up," you say.

The crane moves the claw over the drop zone, and it lets go of the prize. Raven takes it out of the chute, and gives it a big hug.

"Next," you say as you put in another token.
