The Gaming Corner

Thank you to Pixie for the graphics.

Located a little to the left of the Bowling Lanes is a gaming corner, combining both magical and Muggle games to create a fun alternative to bowling. All games only work in exchange for money which you have to put directly into the respective slot on the object you're playing the game on. The standard price for all games are 4 Sickles.

Among smaller games like Darts you can find a number of Pool Tables as well as several sets of Table Football. Similar to this is the enchanted Table Quidditch where you and your friends have to play all positions on your team, trying to keep control of the enchanted balls zooming around the miniature Quidditch pitch.

Reminder: Do NOT wear your bowling shoes here.

OOC: This is a self-sustaining area meaning you don't need anybody's permission to come here and play. However, that doesn't mean the shopkeeper isn't watching so do NOT break any site rules. Also, as always, do NOT RP for the shopkeeper (Felixir)

Colt heard there was a gaming corner in the bowling alley, he was quite excited to try out the air hockey table. As he made his way into the bowling alley after being dropped off by his cousins he easily found the gaming center. He could hear the sounds and dings from everyone playing. He grinned with glee and walked over to the air hockey table. It looked gorgeous but wait he needed a partner. Bummer. He shrugged and went to an arcade game instead.

He saw a car driving simulator game and he went, "Good enough." He put in his four sickles and began to play. He choose a big truck and smiled and went for a little drive.

Henric walked into the gaming center, wanting to play some cool wizarding game he had yet to try out. There must be some brilliant basketball game around here, but instead of balls..he could throw some shrunken heads into the hoops.Heheh. Hmm... He went to search for that particular game but he noticed a familiar looking boy he knew from school by the side. He was playing a truck driving simulator game.Wicked! "Hey Colt! Nice to see you here!" Henric greeted the boy as he pat him on the shoulder.

As Colt was in the zone of playing games, he didn't even notice someone was tapping his shoulder. He was startled and jumped a little bit. Blooddyy merlin. He turned around and noticed a familiar looking dude. He wondered how he knew his name but he remembered he was the hufflepuff he met at the feast. He nodded and smiled politely. "Hey dude. Good to see ya. You like arcade games then huh?" he asked. Well duh Colt he did then why would he be here. Scratch that. "I need a buddy for some of these games. I guess your it man." he gestured to him.

"Which game you wanna play?" he asked.

Oops...didn't mean to startle him. Haha! Sorry mate..didn't mean to. Henric flashed him a cheeky grin and nodded. Yup, its him again. It was great that Colt still remembered him. They rarely talked much last term ever since he got sorted into Slytherin house. But he saw him often in classes and whenever he came to visit llia and have breakfast or dinner with her at the great hall. "Yup, I live for them."

He laughed, "Sure thing, I'm in. I was actually going for the shrunken heads basketball game. You want to 'shoot some hoops' with me? Or if you want we can stay here and have a car racing game? Your pick, Colt." he asked him back.

Bounding into the gaming around Benton looked around excitedly trying to figure out what he wanted to do first. What should he do first? Could they play air hockey or maybe dart.

No.. No

He wanted to do something else. Maybe they could play pool or even the Quidditch game.

YES

That's what he wanted to do. He wanted to play the quidditch game. Moving over to it he shoved his hand in his pocket to grab the money he had kept just to play games with his cousin. "I'm going to kick your butt Tory." He shot a not so intimidating grin to his cousin before slipping the money into the slot and seeing the game come to life.

What was with this Energy that Benton had!? Did his Dad let him have Hawaiian Punch before they left for Diagon Alley. SO TOTALLY UNFAIR! This could prove to be a disadvantage towards Torrance should they end up playing the Quidditch Game...it was always the Quidditch game. What was with Benton and Quidditch, couldn't he just have absolute fascination with only Flying just as he did?

"You won't kick my Butt today!" He retorted with a sly smirk. "My Quidditch Team has Ross on it." He pointed at one of the positioned toy chasers on the table. That means that if he wins, Ross wins. But if he loses then Benton just made their Favorite Oldest Cousin lose and he'll have to live with that thought FOREVER!

Haha Mind Games!

Tory slipped his coins into the games other side to take up the other spot on the board.

"SO.... Mine has Henry's sister on it, Esme. So She'll fully kick your butt and Ross." He didn't care if Torrance had picked Ross's team before he got to. He wasn't mad, OKAY maybe he was, but he'd get back at him by beating him BIG TIME right now.

Watching the balls come to life he took his Esme player and grabbed the quaffle. Sending her down the playing field towards the goals.

"She's going to totally score dude. She's so much faster then Ross." Game Ross not real Ross, nope he wasn't dissing his cousin, just the game. See it was just friendly competition.

Swooping her around the bludger he threw the quaffle towards the goal.

Torrance's mouth gaped open at Benton's total disregard for Family instead choosing to fall back on his Friend Henry's Sister! "If you win today I'm going to tell Ross you said that!" Torrance took his Ross player and had him chase after Benton's Esme character. Torrance ha his character dodge the oncoming bludger as well and quickly moved his hands to take control of his keeper character.

He did it just in time too. His Keeper barely made a save.

That's when Tory realized...This game was going to require heavy concentration. Damn you Benton! Was this your play all along! Couldn't they have just play Billiards or something?! All Tory had left in his arsenal were words to try and throw Benton off his game. Maybe then he could concentrate better at winning the game.

Oooooohhh yeah! Benton knew he had the concentration for this game and his cousin did not. He laughed when he said he was going to tell Ross, "Go for it. He'll never believe you. I'm the good cousin." No one would believe the lion over the badger. Come on they were the cute ones, OKAY?

ugh

He kicked the floor when his Esme figure didn't get the score. No big deal he'd get it next time. Moving his Joe Franks-Mundie figure he sent a bludger slamming toward Tory's team. His chasers going to try to get the quaffle back. They would score this time.

He glanced to make sure his Fitz figure was set up and ready in the goals just in case.

Okay...Okay...Okay....Ummmm. Rosss Figure There he was! He had almost lost track of him. He was already focused on his Magpie Keeper Whosamawhatsits. Yeah them. Tory eyes darted around once Benton's figure snagged up the Quaffle once more. "I am too a Good Cousin!" He retorted almost ready to stomp on Benton's foot for declaring such a falsity. Which was completely besides the point. "I help look after Kendi, and Joshy, and Issy a lot!" Yup Well...Okay.. He looks after them after Aunt Charlie puts them to bed, then he just sort of reads a book beside the twin's cribs to himself...but he's there! GAH! Where did Benton's Player with the Quaffle Go! Torrance's eyes scanned the field as hard as he could! Please don't score on him now!

Of course Arielle's first suggestion had been going to a bar, but it seemed that Kyra wasn't in the mood for such things. In her opinion fire whiskey could do a lot of good when it came to forgetting things but... she was going to be a good aunt and go along with whatever her niece wanted to do.

And that was why they were here at the bowling alley.

The thought of wearing disgusting shoes that other people had on their feet was so unappealing that she wasn't even going to consider that option. They could scourgify them until they disintegrated but she was not going to go anywhere near gross bowling shoes. Games like pool and table football were a lot safer. "So what do you want to do?" Up to Kyra. Ari was just along for the ride and a good time.

Kyra was still sick to her stomach after her father had told her the news. He was just throwing away.... THROWING AWAY!!!! .... twenty-two years of marriage just like that?! No warnings?! NO NOTHING?! All he had to say for himself too was that quote on quote 'he didn't love her mother anymore'.

Ugh!

She was suppose to be having a good week since Kyle moved to New York, but now she was all down and it really sucked. At least Aunt Arielle wanted to spend some time with her to get her mind off the bad news. She followed behind her Aunt into the game room, and upon the question asked, she shrugged a little. "I'd rather just drink a slurpee," which was a term she had picked up in America, "and sit down somewhere." Her green eyes looked around the room now where people were laughing and having fun.

...Yeeeeeah, see slurpees were not the reason why Arielle was here with Kyra. They could have easily gotten one elsewhere if she had even wanted one - which she DIDN'T. Eyebrow raise though she could understand and sympathize with her niece being upset; this was more or less the reaction that she had expected.

How could the girl not be upset over her parents ending their marriage because Logan was unhappy and had stepped out?

"A distraction would be good for you." Honestly. They could have some fun and get her mind off of things; it would be MUCH better than moping around and feeling sorry for oneself. Arielle was all about having fun and doing stuff and Kyra was the same way in general. Maybe they could play darts and imagine that the board was Logan's face. Naaah, she wasn't mad at her brother. She loved him and wanted him to be happy. What he had done was Dan level of bad, however. Actually, she still maintained that she couldn't see even Dan cheating so he was probably worse in this instance.

Huh. She had never imagined THAT day coming.

*Kolyander* · 03-16-2017, 01:16 AM

It had been a long day. Uni was starting to wear her down a little more each day. Going to Uni and working at Scamander on top of practicing with the band and still spending time with her family was hard. Growing up was hard. As was having her own place with Frankie. She lived with him and yet she felt like she didn't get to see him nearly enough even though she saw him daily.

Which was what made tonight special. Date night. A specific night every so often that her and Frankie would spend together. Just them. Which was what brought her to the Shrunken Head Bowling place tonight. Or well the little arcade that was just off to the side of it. Stepping inside the arcade area, Hadleigh silently looked around. The blonde she was looking for wasn't here yet.

She would just have to wait. Pushing her bag up onto her shoulder she took a better look around eyeing some of the different games.

Zoe · 03-16-2017, 01:44 AM

It had certainly been a long day. In fact, every day had been long since Frankie had gotten into the programme. While he was learning a ton and was quite set on his choice of career, it was exhausting. Most days he was beyond tired, though the blond did his best to hide it. It was rather easy since he had someone special to come home to at the end of each day.

Rather than heading home after cleaning himself up, the YATI apparated in the alley and made his way through the front doors of the bowling alley to meet up with his date. Glancing over, he noticed that Hady had beat him there and was already checking out the arcade games. A smile appeared on his face and he started making his way toward her, disillusioning himself along the way to put what he had been doing in training to practice.

Within moments he was trailing behind Hady and then he maneuvered his way around one of the games so that he was standing right in front of her. Before she could walk right into him, he suddenly reached out and wrapped his arms around her. "Hello, love," Frankie whispered, planting a kiss on his lips. He then flickered back to his visible self.

*Kolyander* · 03-16-2017, 02:50 PM

Most arcades were somewhat cramped and you always felt like you were about to bang into someone. Not here. Hady felt like there was more then enough room between each of the games for people to move about comfortably. The only problem she ever had in here was the high chance of bumping into someone when she moved around an arcade game. Those things were tall...taller then her and half the time she couldn't always see around them.

Her attention shifted from the arcade game she was currently looking at to one close by. Was that a new game? Turning to go check it out, suddenly there were arms or something around her causing her to yelp softly in surprise. Instinctively her hand made a move for her wand but the voice accompanying those arms that grabbed her stopped her. "Frankie! Don't do that!," she grumbled smacking him lightly on the chest and frowning at him. "Really, do you always have to try to frighten me to death?," she replied letting out a breath and pressing a soft kiss to his lips in return to the one he had given her. One of these days he was going to get himself hexed or something.

Not being able to remain angry with him she slid her arms around his waist looking up at him for a moment. "Tired?" Hady knew he was. He always was but it was to be expected in the career he had chosen.

Zoe · 03-17-2017, 08:26 PM

He couldn't help but chuckle at Hady's reaction. For a split second he was worried that she was going to hex him to the moon and back, but his worries quickly went away. All he received as punishment was a light smack on his buff chest, which was then countered with a kiss on the lips. The blond certainly didn't mind that.

A smirk grew on Frankie's lips when she asked why he always tried to frighten her. "It's never my intention to scare you to death. Just keeping you on your toes, is all." He then added as a sort of explanation, "We focused on concealment today in training."

Of course he knew that she wouldn't be able to stay mad him for very long, for the majority of their fights were the kiss and make up sort. When he felt her arms wrap around his waist, he looked down at her, hoping that he looked more energized than he really did. "Not at all," he stated with a smile, leaving her to assume just how tired he was. In the end, he wasn't going to show it until it was time for bed.

*Kolyander* · 03-17-2017, 11:58 PM

Hady knew she probably could've gotten away with hexing him and by right he might've even deserved it. If of course he hadn't have spoken and given himself away. Once she knew it was him there was noway she could purposely have hexed him. He was getting off very lightly with just that smack to his chest.

It wasn't his intention to always frighten her? Sure it wasn't. The brunette raised an eyebrow at him. "Are you sure about that because all those times you've made me jump or scream prove differently," she teased giving him a small smile. "Well that's something you certainly do on a daily basis." Keeping her on her toes that is. He never failed to toss something new her way. "Concealment, huh? And you just thought you'd give it a try on me?" Really she should be used to this already. Most of the time being used as Frankie's practice partner wasn't half bad even if she wasn't always aware of it.

Hazel eyes meet blue ones searching for the truth that she knew was there. Hady knew he was tired, he was always tired and he had every right to be. She also knew that he wouldn't admit it right yet. "If you say so. Which game do you want to play first?" Might as well get this night started! They were here to have a good time and that's just what they were going to do.

The Gothic Ravenclaw was dressed in a black feathered dress (fake feathers) and wore shiny long boots and a stylish scarf which she didn't need but which was enchanted to withstand the heat.

This was one her favorite hangouts. There were lots of people of all ages and styles here, and it seemed like a place for cool kids. Of course technically she wasn't a kid anymore, but this was an all ages place and it was fun watching others play even when she didn't want to play.

This place was weird; Emmeline usually liked weird stuff, especially "weird" creatures, but this place was kind of confusing. She had wandered inside 'cause she'd wanted to know what a bowling alley was -- she'd learned loads about Muggles this summer, but these things hadn't featured in any of the shows Cami had watched with her so far. Plus, she knew it was at least somewhat Muggle-related 'cause Mum had always forbidden her from coming in here. Which was another BIG reason she'd made it a point to go in this summer, mhm. She was determined to see alllll the stuff her parents had never allowed her to see, but that Cami would let her see. She didn't think Cami would mind her going into this place, 'cause there were kids younger than her running around in here.

It only took a few minutes of watching people play to figure out how this bowling game worked. Emmeline sort of wanted to try it, but not with strangers. Plus, she wanted to see the WHOLE place first; maybe the bit Mum and Dad really didn't like was in the corner? Tugging her navy blue witch's robes into place with one hand, Emmeline approached the corner of the alley cautiously to find it filled with loads of games. It looked like there was even one with a Quidditch field on a table or something! Coool! The Gryffindor scanned the rest of the area, looking for ANYONE she knew really, when she spotted Miss Kitty! At least, she thought it was Miss Kitty. It was so weird seeing her dressed with like feathers and stuff instead of their normal Hogwarts robes. She approached the older girl with caution and finally called, "Hiii Miss Kitty! Those aren't real feathers, are they? From creatures?" 'Cause she definitely wasn't going to play Quidditch-on-a-table with someone wearing creature parts on her clothes. The thought of the feathers being real made her want to... Well, she'd see what Miss Kitty said first.

WhittyBitty · 08-22-2017, 09:21 PM

It had been some time since Esme had been at the bowling alley, which she wasn't too sure about since she did actually like bowling. That wasn't in the plans for today, however. Instead she would be spending time with Naida and enjoying the different games that the bowling alley provided.

Entering the gaming area, she looked around and saw that Naida was nowhere to be seen. Looked like she might be a bit early. Shrugging it off, Esme went to one of the arcade games and placed in the 4 sickles that she'd need in order to play. This would be a good way to spend her time while waiting.

Well, she'd see what Miss Kitty said first.

After awhile Kitty noticed she was being ogled by a Gothic boy who looked around her age or a little bit older. She was pondering on whether she should approach him when out of the blue a very familiar person greeted her.

"Hello Miss Emmeline! How are you? Enjoying summer?" She smiled at the Gryffindor and gave her a small hug, forgetting her Gothic fanboy for now. She didn't know the younger Gryffindor all that well, but it was always nice to see Hogwarts students in between terms. "Real feathers? Oh, no, no, they aren't real!" Goodness no. "I wouldn't want to help any industries that kill animals for fashion, so all this is fake. I'm not sure exactly how they're made but I can assure you it's fake. You like?"

Naida McDean took her sunglasses off as soon as she waltzed herself into the bowling alley. She had planned on being early to her little meet-up with her brother's girlfriend, Esme, but she had spent the morning with her Uncle Sam and cousin, Juliette, and could not even think about ditching them early. How could she?! Her Uncle had baked her some cobbler that he had learned to cook when he lived in America, and it was the best dessert she had ever eaten!

She placed her sunglasses into her bag then glanced around, looking for the little blonde girl.

"Esme!" She called out when she saw the girl playing one of the arcade games, and beelined over to her. "I hope you weren't waiting too long." How terrible that would be. Before she forgot, she added, "Uncle Sam wanted me to tell you that he said hello."

How could she?! Her Uncle had baked her some cobbler that he had learned to cook when he lived in America, and it was the best dessert she had ever eaten!

She placed her sunglasses into her bag then glanced around, looking for the little blonde girl.

"Esme!" She called out when she saw the girl playing one of the arcade games, and beelined over to her. "I hope you weren't waiting too long." How terrible that would be. Before she forgot, she added, "Uncle Sam wanted me to tell you that he said hello."

Hearing a now familiar voice, Esme beamed and stopped her arcade game right where it was without caring if she died or not. "Naida!" Immediately she gave the older girl a hug. It felt like forever since the last time they had seen each other, and now that she was graduated from Hogwarts there would surely be a lot more of these meet ups. So far the most that she had seen of her boyfriend's sister was when they were in South Africa together.

"Oh, I wasn't! I only got here a little while ago. It's so nice how easy it is to get to Diagon Alley now that I live in London." Obviously there was magical transportation, but Esme liked the muggle forms of it when they were available. "Say hi back for me! How is everyone doing?" She really did like Olly's family!

Naida returned the girl's hug, widely smiling as she did so. "Hey, girly." It was nice seeing her again - really nice. She was like family now, and for her, family was everything. Coming from the McDean family, that spoke volumes considering how none of her Uncles really got along. Not only did seeing Esme make her happy, it also gave her a chance to feel happy, even if for a brief time. Ever since her doctor's appointment, she has been dealing with a lot of emotions that she has attempted to put on the back burner. The only thing that has stopped her from having a mental breakdown was the fact that she was keeping her mind occupied.

"Good, good," she said, nodding. "How close to do you live to here?" She has contemplated moving to London to be closer to her brother, but she did not have the heart to leave her father behind. She truly believed he needed her there, and she basically lived her life around making sure her father would be okay. "They are good. Really good. Uncle Sam is enjoying his time off. Juliette is getting ready for college, and she couldn't be more excited." She grinned. "What about you? How are you? How is Ollie?" SO MANY QUESTIONS.
