Entry tags:
action: Ota! choose your own adventure-style! All options open to all.
Who: Charlie McGee
What: Typical DITL. Charlie can be found in several locations.
When: January 8th, all day.
Where: All over.
Warnings: None at the moment
Cake Town: Attleton in the AM, Fayren in the PM
The first stop of Charlie's day is one of the Cake Town stores. She has schedules to put up, orders to place, customers and people to interact with. It's fine, she'll be fine. This is okay. When she's not busy making food for customers, she can be found seated at one of the chairs, working on the schedule and looking up new recipes to add to the menu. And while she's seated, she's eating. It's a crepe with chocolate and strawberries, one of the ones people can get at Cake Town. She really should have gone for something healthier, but none of her adults are around. This is the decision of a teenager who hasn't had much access to food until recently. She'll eat what she wants.
Axiom Games: Early afternoon - Genessia City
Charlie isn't really sure what brought her to Axiom. Maybe it was the noise and flashing lights and laughter, but she finds herself stepping in, looking around, and buying tokens to play games. Soon enough, she's playing at a First Person Shooter style zombie game, and she's not doing too well. It's kind of hard to aim the gun just right, and these damn things keep popping up before she can even take care of the first ones.
Eventually, she dies, and with a huff of frustration, she steps away from the game. Hands on her waist, a faint scowl on her face that looks more amused than angry. And then more money is put in and she decides to keep trying, mumbling herself in a tone that doesn't sound angry, despite the words.
"...stupid, god-damn exploding...piece of hairy garbage...you're gonna get it." Resting the toy rifle against her shoulder, Charlie decides to try again and does a tiny bit better this time.
Just a tiny bit.
Garden Park: Mid-afternoon - Genessia City
Charlie is taking a break from being inside. She doesn't do well with all that sitting inside a building, so she's happy to catch a much-needed respite from crowds and people. She has Andi and Victor with her, both dogs happy with chew toys and nibbling at the bowls of food Charlie set up for them so she can eat her own sandwich in peace.
She has a book nearby, too. Pinocchio. She's read it a million times over, but there's something about the soft smile on her face that may suggest this book brings her joy. Occasionally, she reaches up to pet Andi or Victor, but for the most part, she's pretty happy with reading about the little wooden boy and the trouble he gets himself into.

Re: Axiom Games
"There's a spare token sitting on the buttons, if you wanna use it."
no subject
Prompto took up the second gun and put in the token. "I've got your back." He said, changing his stance. After all, he found, the aim of an arcade gun wasn't too different from a regular one.
no subject
"Red barrel behind that mini horde. On your side."

In fact, everything on his side of the screen is going down, he's not missing any shots at all, but he's giving her the space to do her half. He had experience doing co-op, even when he might be outclassing his partner.
He was used to it, his aim was near perfect for a few reasons, but not the least of them, practice.

"I've had a lot of practice. N-" He started, paused a moment and then continued. "Noct and I spent a lot of time playing arcade games in high school. These are what I'm best at. Most of the other ones he wiped the floor with me."
no subject
...okay a lot of swearing...
She fires a few times, two shots hitting but most of them missing entirely as she finally loses her last life, Game Over flashing on her side of the screen.
"Well, god damn it." She sighs briefly, digging in her pocket as she tries to decide whether or not she wants to play again.
"The last game system I played on was from the Eighties on my world. Old as heck. You had a joystick, one button and characters made of a handful of pixels."
no subject
"So I know what you mean. But games got a lot better, at least in my world they did, until there weren't arcades anymore."
King's Knight had kept them sane for awhile, until it didn't and then games weren't the priority anymore. Prompto mentally took stock of how he was feeling. He was feeling okay, which surprised him, but he'd take it.
"At the arcade they also served this really cheap pizza." He grinned. "That we got every single time. I mostly went to hang out, I wouldn't have gone if I was on my own."
