To Bowl like a Man

[hontobakabaka]

Who:  Ruri and Mordred
Where:  The bowling alley

[So she woke up in some bowl o ramma place, Ruri was used to weird things here.  The kind of fancy dress was a bit silly, but the place seemed empty despite being set up.  At least there was food to be found but the silence]

"Hello?  Is anyone here?"

"Mordred? I think the town put us in... A bowl o ramma... Whatever that is. Are you all right?"

[She peers over at him]

...Ruri? What are...?

[Look left. look right]

Bowl o ramma? How did... no, never mind. I am all right, merely confused.

"I think its some sort of a game. I can't get Omoikane up though and... I feel ridiculous in this dress..."

[She walks over to the counter]

"There's food too, but... None of this makes sense."

[A soft groan]

Not another one. Do they not become tired of tormenting us?

[His scowl shifts to a bit of a shy smile, and he scratches the back of his neck]

At least... it looks nice on you?

[hontobakabaka.livejournal.com]

"Well, um... Thank you. That and, to be fair, I can think of far worse things than being trapped in here with you. Maybe we got lucky and the town was supposed to put us with someone we hated, or maybe its just being... Odd."

[sonthatdisappoints]

[scratching his chin, then shrugging with a sigh] I have given up attempting to figure out the intentions of our captors. Still...

[A slight smile]

Quite true. Even under the circumstances, I enjoy your company. It could have been worse than simply being trapped here.

[hontobakabaka.livejournal.com]

"I tried figuring them out till I got a headache from it, but yeah. I can think of far worse than being trapped with a friend, in a place with plenty of food and drink."

[She nods a little]

[sonthatdisappoints]

Have you been here long?

[hontobakabaka.livejournal.com]

"Maybe 5 minutes before I found you, but I know when I'm cut off from Omoikane and I can smell the food."

[sonthatdisappoints]

At the very least, it has not been terribly long.

[Tapping his chin thoughtfully]

If we are here, I wonder if there are others in the same predicament.

[hontobakabaka.livejournal.com]

"Maybe. I didn't know there were that many bowling places. Maybe its a couple to a location?"

[sonthatdisappoints]

I never even knew there was such a thing as 'bowling'.

"I've heard a little about it. You're supposed to throw a heavy ball at the pins and knock them down or something... It always seemed kind of stupid."

[sonthatdisappoints]

[A blank stare for a moment] People... really play a game like that?

[hontobakabaka.livejournal.com]

"Stupid ones I guess."

[sonthatdisappoints]

How does one even...

[Shaking his head]

Humans really are strange.

[She shrugs and goes behind the counter with the food]

"I never played it, I just heard about it really."

[sonthatdisappoints]

I see...

[Peering over the counter, wondering if there really is anything worth eating back there]

[hontobakabaka.livejournal.com]

It looks like there's something in this locked part. But there are also some hamburgers.

[sonthatdisappoints]

Hamburgers... the disks made of ground beef?

[hontobakabaka.livejournal.com]

Yes, that would be it. Do you know anything about lock picking? There may be more in here.

[sonthatdisappoints]

[Damn, not in his skill set. He frowns, shaking his head]

No, I don't.

Should we try to pry it open?

[hontobakabaka.livejournal.com]

If you think you can. Its in a cooling area so I'd suspect it to be some sort of a drink. Probably best to know what we have to occupy ourselves with.

[sonthatdisappoints]

I am confident that I can. [Hunts around for something that might work]
