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?"

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

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.

"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]

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]

[hontobakabaka.livejournal.com]

[She backs up to let him get to work while taking a view over the other things]

Well this may not be what they wanted from us, but its better than nothing.

[sonthatdisappoints]

[He finds a screwdriver and gets to work disassembling the lock itself by unscrewing the bolts]

I'm not entirely certain I want to know what they had planned for us.

To bowl? I don't know... I think this is some sort of date setting... Or it seems close enough to some of the ones I saw in anime.

[sonthatdisappoints]

...Date? Anime? What are those?

[hontobakabaka.livejournal.com]

A date is when a boy and girl spend time together to get to know each other better. Anime is a form of entertainment.

[sonthatdisappoints]

A boy and girl specifically? I am not certain I understand how that is different than other instances of getting to know a person.

[hontobakabaka.livejournal.com]

For potential familial ties.

[She looks a bit embarrassed]

[sonthatdisappoints]

[He looks a little baffled]

You mean, such as an arranged marriage?

[hontobakabaka.livejournal.com]

More the way that peasants meet for marriage. Interaction and all that.
