it's fumkin noisy in here but he's doing his best! he seems to be doggedly playing one game in particular. it's a rhythm game, one of those taiko drum ones, and he seems like he's really concentrating, ears perked up and forward. is he perhaps trying to get a high score? maybe. it's not out of the question because he actually is doing pretty good, he's got near perfects on all of the notes. oh, also, he's wearing this.
in any case, he's very clearly not paying attention to anything around him so this is your chance to jumpscare the shit out of him if you'd like. ]
[snazzy outfit... you get a fit check in return. waner is sort of wandering around the arcade hesitantly, never having seen anything like this before, watching the various games warily. eventually shec omes across jiaoqiu, watching him play the game.
he's pretty good at this. alas, if waner were more of a gremlin, she would try to startle him. instead, she waits for his song to finish and then applauds.]
thankfully, she's nice enough to wait for the song to finish, and though he does jump a little at the applause, he doesn't throw anything in fright so that's nice. instead, he glances over at her, and huffs in amusement. ]
I'm terrible at most of them, but yes, they are games. [ tilts his head. ] Are places like these familiar to you? I know many of our number have expressed to me that this place is overwhelming.
[ he'll show her the taiko game, though - gestures for her to take a drumstick. you look like the kind of girl that could have some fun whacking a drum tbh ]
[she steps forward and takes a drumstick. okay. let's go.
she is going to beat the shit out of this drum. but she'll do it in rhythm because she does actually know how to play instruments, so like, she's got a decent sense of rhythm.]
...I suppose I have my mother to thank for that. She taught me to play the guzheng, and though it is a very different instrument, any musician must be able to keep a rhythm.
So many of you prefer to be addressed informally... I fear I will get into the habit and will offend someone, should I make it back to Daxing. Very well, Jiaoqiu it is. [waner smiles faintly.] ...I suppose I have. This "Heaven" is very pleasant, which... I imagine is the point.

That was wonderful!

Ah... thank you. This is rather fun.

[arcades... are a very foreign concept to her]

No, this is entirely unfamiliar to me. I have never seen a collection of games such as this in Daxing.

between the two of them they're going to get a kickass score tbh ]
no subject
when the score pops up, she looks pleased.]
I can see why you were playing this one before. That was enjoyable.
no subject
[ he's pleased too! ]
But I thought that might be true. You seem like you have a good sense of rhythm.
no subject
[she smiles, accepting the compliment.]
...I suppose I have my mother to thank for that. She taught me to play the guzheng, and though it is a very different instrument, any musician must be able to keep a rhythm.
no subject
Oh - the guzheng, I know that instrument. You play? [ wah!! familiarity! ]
I don't know if they're available here, but I'd love to hear you play sometime, if you wouldn't mind...
no subject
[she smiles.]
I would be glad to perform, but if you have instruments you enjoy playing, I would love to hear that too.
no subject
[ he folds his arms behind his back. ]
Perhaps I'll try to learn. We have nothing but time, here.

Ah - I'm sorry, I've forgotten - did we ever exchange names? There are so many new faces that I've had a difficult time keeping everyone straight.
no subject
[she did read his profile, so she knows it, but she will do the polite thing and allow them each to make their introductions.]
My name is Su Waner. And your name is, sir...?
no subject
Jiaoqiu. Sir is not necessary - but it is good to meet you properly. Have you settled in alright?
no subject
So many of you prefer to be addressed informally... I fear I will get into the habit and will offend someone, should I make it back to Daxing. Very well, Jiaoqiu it is. [waner smiles faintly.] ...I suppose I have. This "Heaven" is very pleasant, which... I imagine is the point.
no subject
[ sometimes you're a rude bitch ]
It is supposed to be paradise. I've found it acceptable so far, though I would prefer a real garden to exist.
no subject
[she shrugs.]
...then again, who knows where else that "train" may take us in the future? Perhaps a stop with a real garden will become available to us later on.
