Yup. When'd you get yours, anyway? Was it just this week?
[ aaaaand we enter the arcade! Danny just kind of looks around absently, not really sure what to do or where to go in here. never has a teen been this awkward inside an arcade before ]
[ huffs and rolls his eyes, but fine. he boots the game up again for another round ]
...I guess so. As far as I knew, it was just me. I thought maybe there might be some others, but it's not anything I could really suss out by myself until I saw you had a charm too.
[ help why are you being so smiley. anyway this next round of the game goes much more smoothly--danny takes a hit or two, but is otherwise able to make it to the end of the level intact! ]
Maybe. But they might not all be carrying them. I've been leaving mine in my room all the time. If there's others, who's to say they're not doing the same?
There we go, though. He gives some light clapping. ]
That's no problem. Maybe they'll decide to bring theirs out in the open at some point since I brought mine. No need to go digging, right? Just keep our eyes peeled.

But just so you know... [ pulls a little tiger charm out of his pocket! ] I've got one too. So I guess that makes two of us on two counts.

[ Distractions are going to be all the rage, but he spots the tiger charm coming out, which makes Axel brighten up a little.
More towards the arcade they go! ]
That really does make two of us on two counts. I can't say I was expecting that, but I'm guessing Tiger was a bud and handed you that.

[ Axel directs him to one of those games where there's a platform arcade game. For two players.
Making the absolute particulars vague for ease. ]
no subject
[ yeah, sure, this is A Game, danny will follow axel's cues and go along with it ]
no subject
And just like that, two's a reoccurring coincidence once again.
...Here's to hoping next week's a bit more easier. No bad reason to hope for the best, right?
[ Gotta dodge those projectiles. Axel is good at instructions, at least. ]
no subject
[ Danny dodges a few, but absolutely eats it on some others, his HP lowering by quite a bit. He frowns at the game. ]
no subject
I'm surrounded by cynics.
[ But he doesn't mean it in a rude way. People like that keep things in reality, because this place really is like that. ]
...You'll get the hang of the game sooner than later, though.
no subject
Maybe.
[ said drily, utterly unconvinced. ]
...I'm guessing you don't know anyone else with these charms yet?
no subject
[ Axel is certain that this is simply a beginner level struggling going on. ]
Nope, I don't.
You trying to figure that out?
no subject
...I guess so. As far as I knew, it was just me. I thought maybe there might be some others, but it's not anything I could really suss out by myself until I saw you had a charm too.
no subject
How about we make it a team effort?
Keep an eye out to see who's got the other charms too? That way you're not the only one who's struggling to figure it out.

Simplicity's sometimes the best plan.

...I guess. Maybe it would help if I carried mine around more too. I don't think it'd make me a bigger target, at least...
no subject
I don't think so either. Though, you don't have to if you don't want to. So up to you.
no subject
...or maybe if there's more, they'll come find you like I did.
