Looks like we have to wait a few minutes at least...

[ But he's going to secure them a place in line. ]

[blastedass]

[Katsuki takes his place beside him. There definitely is a competition shaping up, with some solos and some two-person teams starting to show.]

This looks like a practice round.

[defendure]

I haven't checked the schedule recently. It might be some kind of event?

[ Normally he just comes alone to dick around so... ]

[blastedass]

Nothing official. Probably grew out of people coming in from the storm.

[A girl's walking down the line of people waiting, asking if they want to compete.]

[defendure]

Did you want to compete as solo contestants?

[ Izuku's fine regardless, but he figures Katsuki might have an opinion. ]

[blastedass]

Nah, let's murder the pair competition. Probably has a bigger ticket pay out.

[Since they have to split it between the partners. Which works out to their advantage since they're pooling their pot.]

[defendure]

True! It's too bad they don't have songs we really know. I mean, uh, I do like that one pop band with the weird hairstyles...? They look space futurey.

[ But he's not too familiar with the music scene here. ]

[blastedass]

You said you've come here and played these before? Stick to those ones and we'll destroy them!

[Sure, they're not All Might's theme song or Washu Washu's music, but Katsuki's practiced on these games. Not every song, of course, but enough he's confident he can slam out some familiar ones.]

[defendure]

Well, yeah! I just mean I'd love to do this at home eventually with songs we know better.

[ Also...he just likes All Might. ]

[blastedass]

When we get back, we probably will.

[Provided Class 1-A goes to the mall for an arcade afternoon.]

[defendure]

Any song requests for here though?

[ Besides catchy pop. ]

[blastedass]

Need to find out which machines we're gonna be using...

[There's a 4 stepper game with two cabinets and stands.

And then there are two 8 stepper games with dual cabinet/stand combos.

Each with different music.]

Nothing slow. Those try to trick you up.

[defendure]

I like faster ones for games anyway! It feels happier?

[ That might not be the right word though. ]

[blastedass]

[Might not be the "right" word, but it works perfectly for Izuku.]

I like working up a sweat.

[Katsuki signs them both up for the competition when the girl asks. Team name?]

All Might!

[defendure]

[ No complaints about the team name from Izuku. ]

Well, if that's the case you usually pick the fastest songs?

[blastedass]

Yeah. There's less opportunity for the game to throw some random arrow at you offbeat.

[Two-person team. They're going into this together.]

[defendure]

I'll try to keep up! I normally just pick songs I like.

[ So...pop and rock mostly. ]

[blastedass]

You got a list of songs you know on these machines?

[They're about three teams away from having a practice round.]

[defendure]

They have the theme song for that Gem Guards show.

[ Otherwise... ]

Like everything by PoP-Rockers.

[blastedass]

Yeah, I've played that one a lot since we heard it.

[Can't say he's done a number of PoP-Rockers though... Katsuki frowns in thought.]

Most anything by Out with a Bang I know.

[defendure]

Oh, I know some by them. They're in a few of my cartoons!

[ Yes. That is how he knows things. ]

[blastedass]

They did a few themes songs and background tracks.

[Katsuki knows most of them from music browsing or action movies, with the occasional cartoon thrown in there for nostalgic purposes.]

[defendure]

They did the outro for one of the ones I watch regularly...huh, that team right now is pretty good.

[ Competition. ]

[blastedass]

[Katsuki's been watching the other teams like a hawks since they got over here. There seem to be some pretty good partners... No one's signing up who only *think* they're good.]

We're gonna murder a buncha extras today.

[defendure]

I kinda feel like that's your favorite date activity.

[ Murdering extras. ]
