Okay, so guys, hear me out-

[It's Ellie. A few of you folks might know her, but this is her first-ever post to the public at large. Because this shit is some important shit.]

I just found this actual working arcade and it is amazing -- but I have nobody to play with and I haven't got any quarters.

Or runes, whatever it is they take, they've got a square coin slot.

So, anyone want in?

I promise I'll pay you back and then some. In oranges, or horseback riding lessons, or archery lessons, or I'll clean your room. Whatever. You pick.

How 'bout I give it to you for free if you promise to play a racing game with me?

[tonsofpun]

Are you kidding me? Shit, get down here. There are like four of those.

[Insert the district and rough address here.]

[tonsofpun]

[Insert quick directions.]

You want me to pick you up, Jamie? Or have you got this?

[proudofwhatiam]

[Okay, so Evy's a little behind on terminology; she's picturing a row of shops and wondering why they'd have coin slots, of all things.]

What do you need the coins for, exactly?

[tonsofpun]

Uh, the machines- they take coins before you can play the game.

[It doesn't sound too weird- plenty of kids in her time didn't know either.]

[windbreak]

A real arcade, huh? Wow, that takes me back. How amazing are we talking?

[tonsofpun]

Like they have four kinds of racing games amazing.

What's an arcade?

[tonsofpun]

Get down here, Kaworu.

[No arguments. Now.]

[Voice]

[hadbadays]

All I need is you not putting me on a horse again.

[Voice]

[tonsofpun]

Hey, you climbed on that horse. And he didn't even throw you.

[comeonthensexy]

Oranges?

[ Interesting currency. ]

[Video]

[tonsofpun]

Yeah, I grow them. Mostly for the stable. I grow carrots too, but who wants those?

[necrowmantic]

You found a what now?

[tonsofpun]

An arcade, Henry. You've never seen one either?

[lookingfordragon]

There's, uh- some racing games where you pretend to drive cars, yeah.

[Dany looks confused.]

What is an arcade, Ellie? I have never heard of such a thing before. Is it to practice archery?

[tonsofpun]

[Don't worry, Dany, you won't be the only one.]

Nooot quite. It's, uh- it's a store, but there are machines inside the store, and if you put a little money in them, you can play games. And if you win, you get tickets. And you can exchange those tickets for prizes.

[trust_us]

What's an arcade?

[Forgive her, almost being eaten for 100 years has left humanity in her world lacking arcades.]

[tonsofpun]

Shit, I didn't realize how many of you guys have been this deprived.

Wanna come down and see?

[digophelia]

What is an arcade?

[tonsofpun]

... you too, Alice? Shit. Okay, you're coming with me.

[audio]

[dicey]

What kind of games are they?

[audio]

[tonsofpun]

All kinds! Racing games, shooting games, fighting games- I think I even spotted some ski-ball and basketball.

[disarmer]

Arcade? Is that a kind of game? [ But why would it require runes? Man, technology is weird. ]

[tonsofpun]

It's a place where they have a ton of games.

[Woah, dude looks familiar.]

-hey, d'you know a Desmond?

[2cool4guardian]

[Did anyone say games.]

Give me a good challenge and I won't charge you.

[Video]

[tonsofpun]

Shit, I'll try not to destroy you.

[Which will come back to bite her later. She's never played any of these before.]

[muto]

What is an arcade?

[ Oh the marvels of the 20th century. ]

voice

[tonsofpun]

Shit, this makes me feel a whole lot better about never being able to find one still in commission-

It's a place with a lot of games, and you can play as many as you want. You pay per game, I looks like.
