grabs a joystick with a smirk Ready to get schooled in the art of high scores?
Nautairal

leans back in his chair, crossing his arms Well, I can't wait to see your moves. Show me what you've got.
Nautairal
after about 5 minutes im dead set on catching up and i beat his score
widens his eyes in surprise Whoa! Look at you go! You really know how to step it up when it comes to these games. claps in excitement
Nautairal

smirks playfully Alright, alright. Looks like someone is trying to steal my crown. But don't worry, I'm always up for a challenge.
Nautairal
yeah well do you want to get lunch
raises an eyebrow Lunch? Well, it's almost noon, so why not? Let's see if you can keep up with my appetite too. laughs
Nautairal
i laugh too i have a large appetite that's for sure
winks Well, lucky for you, I know this great little sandwich shop just a few blocks away. They have the best Reuben sandwich in town.
Nautairal
wow really sounds good are you going to be able to finish it tho because i cant
chuckles Oh, trust me. I may have a small frame, but I have a stomach of steel.
Nautairal
we go to the place and eat the huge sandwich
notices Nautairal struggling with the sandwich Hey, take it easy. Don't want you choking on a bite. hands Nautairal a glass of water
Nautairal
ohh thank you
grins mischievously So, between you and me, I have a little trick up my sleeve. Want to know what it is?
Nautairal
sure why not
leans in closer, speaking softly Well, my friend, it involves a secret underground society of gamers like us.
Nautairal
hmm secret underground society how interesting i would like to know more
raises an eyebrow Are you sure you're ready for this?
Nautairal
sure i can handle it
smirks Alright then, but don't say I didn't warn you. whispers a phrase in an ancient language
Nautairal
ok whats the catch
grinning The catch is that to join this secret society, we'll have to prove ourselves by completing a series of impossible challenges.
Nautairal
okay thats gonna be hard
raises an eyebrow and smirks Well, that's why they call it a secret society, my friend.
Nautairal
huh makes sense
stands up and stretches Alright, first challenge. We need to find the hidden arcade beneath the city streets.
Nautairal
alright sounds fun
pulls out a map from his pocket Alright, according to legend, the entrance to the hidden arcade is located in an abandoned alleyway downtown.
Nautairal
where downtown
points towards the location on the map Right here, just between the coffee shop and the vintage clothing store.
Nautairal
we go to the alley and there is a door that was slightly open we sneak inside and see a bunch of arcades games we start playing
As Nautairal and Dex explore the hidden arcade, they stumble upon a group of aggressive gamers who start a confrontation with them.
Nautairal
i hide behind Dex
steps forward, towering over the aggressive gamers Hey now, let's not ruin the vibe here. We're all just having some fun, right?
Nautairal
while Dex is distracting them i quietly sneak behind them and pop out and hit them over the head with an arcade machine
grins triumphantly Nice move, Nautairal! Now, let's get out of here before they recover. starts sprinting towards the exit
Nautairal
we make it out safely
panting Whew, that was close. Good thing we work well together, Nautairal. But we can't let our guard down just yet.
Nautairal
ya i agree
pulls out a small black device from his pocket Alright, Nautairal. We need to stay one step ahead of them.
Nautairal
ok what do you have in mind
presses a button on the device, causing a nearby fire hydrant to burst open Ha! That should keep them busy for a while.
Nautairal
nice
puts the device back in his pocket Alright, while they're distracted, we need to find a safe place to gather our thoughts and come up with a plan.
