It’s Not Broken (Open)

[Lady Leaf]

[scrolly:h(230),w(390),sy,as(padding:4px;margin-top:10px;margin-left:10px;)] Adam gave a rather pleased and somewhat proud smile when Logan thanked him for the marble. Thing was, Adam had a love for anything shiny, particularly anything small and shiny. He never used them for anything more than to look at, but just looking at them could keep him happy for hours. There was only one other thing that he discovered he liked just as much as he liked looking at shiny things and that wasn’t as light hearted as the marbles and such. That warm bath of blood over one’s hands and the sound of someone’s voice passing the after life was just… he didn’t know why, but it was perfect. It always made him feel so powerful, so clever and in control. It wasn’t very often that he was in control. “It’s like the sky.” Adam announced to Logan with his tiny voice, “Out of the city.” His attention then left Logan after that. Logan had been nice and all, but he seemed… well, boring. Jack on the other hand… their was something about him that seemed fun. It wasn’t very often but… “Will you play with me?” Adam asked in a very low, almost a whispered voice to Jack. As he asked this, his hand reach out to take hold of a small amount of fabric on Jack’s shirt by his hip. His back had been completely turned on Logan as he did this, almost as if saying he didn’t want the man playing with them. He had helped, he had gotten a gift in return and now Adam wanted nothing more to do with him. [/scrolly] [bg=beige]

[Jay]

Hm? Logan began to twist the marble around a bit and was now mildly distracted by the small object. His hearing was still rather acute though, and as he heard Adam question Jack, he looked over for a brief moment unsure of whether or not to step in.

The motion and the words from Adam spiked quite a lot of different reactions from the multiple voices in the back of Jack's mind. Don't touch me unless you want to play Dead or Alive Ripper threatened at Adam rather sharply forgetting at the moment that they could technically not be considered the same entity. Oooh~ Now what kind of game I wonder, hehehe Cas cooed playfully. This guy.... Third mumbled more to himself than the other voices or BJ for that matter. Meanwhile, Jacklyn was hissing like a cat. Jackie Chan was going over moves on how to throw the guy while Ninjack sighed and shook his head at them all. Meanwhile, BJ simply grinned a bit. "Sure what game?" he asked after a moment.

[Lady Leaf]

[scrolly:h(230),w(390),sy,as(padding:4px;margin-top:10px;margin-left:10px;)] Adam grinned at Jack’s response, taking no notice to any of anything that might be going on in Jack’s mind. For the moment Adam was feeling peaceful thanks to Logan. Though the question that Jack asked made Adam think. He hadn’t really thought of what game. He had just wanted to Jack to stick around. It wasn’t very often that he liked the company of others but Jack looked like fun. So different from most people. “Any kind of game!” Adam replied a tad excitedly though his voice was still soft and light. He was just about to turn and lead Jack down the street when he suddenly realized something and paused instead. His icy blue eyes drifted down to Jack’s legs, looking at them for a moment before lifting his eyes back up at Jack. “Not fast games?” That would take away from a lot of games Adam liked to play. Most likely wouldn’t be able to play anything with climbing either. Hurm. [/scrolly] [bg=beige]

[Jay]

At Adam's words, a chuckle rose out of Jack, and he grinned a bit to himself. Oh how about the arcade? a voice asked quickly in the back of Jack's mind. Meanwhile, Logan watched this and found himself frowning a bit. Ugh was BJ going to get himself hurt again =_=. He'd probably just follow along to make sure everything was fine. As Adam stopped and talked about not a fast game, Jack sighed finding his eyes leering down at his leg. "Hey what about going to the arcade?" the purple haired man finally suggested.

[Lady Leaf]

[scrolly:h(230),w(390),sy,as(padding:4px;margin-top:10px;margin-left:10px;)] “The… arcade?” Adam asked, not really knowing what it was. He had heard the word before but never truly took too much intrest in what it was. He figured it was much like those other luxury things others did. Like… playing the x-box, sleeping on a water bed or perhaps something more like a five star restaurant. Though he supposed… if Jack believed it could be a fun game then their was no reason not to try it out. It could be an interesting experience. “Ok.” He suddenly added, though Vince, who had been quiet since the arm was fixed, finally stood. He let out a small snort, as if to say he wasn’t sure about this. He also wasn’t sure what the arcade was, but he had seen a few buildings called Arcade. They were often filled with people, mostly younger. He wasn’t all too sure how well Adam would deal with being in a room with a lot of people. [/scrolly] [bg=beige]

[Jay]

Jack grinned easily and led the way rather quickly on his crutches. He certainly didn't think Adam would have a problem if the summer vacation kids were at the arcade as well and saw nothing wrong with leading the way over towards one of his favorite places to play. Turning and pushing in the door, Jack stepped into the cool area and looked around. There were a few kids here and there, yet it seemed a little less crowded today at the very least. Shrugging, he continued his way inside.

Logan had simply continued to follow sweat dropping a bit as Jack sped up. Ugh that really wasn't good for him, and Logan knew it better than Jack did, apparently.. =x=;

[Lady Leaf]

[scrolly:h(230),w(390),sy,as(padding:4px;margin-top:10px;margin-left:10px;)] Adam followed closely behind, partly beside Jack, keeping quiet the entire way their. When the came to the front of the building and Jack walked in, Adam paused for a moment. It had so many flashy lights on the outside. It was kind of pretty. He wished he could have a round like the light bulbs but without it going out. Shacking his head finally he made his way into the building and looked around. More flashing lights on boxes that filled the room. It was so…. Wired. They all had pictures on them too and flashing screens and… there was just so much to look at! The colours, lights and images were enough to keep Adam from even noticing the people in the room. Luckily there weren’t many of them to begin with anyway, which was a huge relief to Vince. There was so much in the room that Adam wanted to ask Jack about but he kept quiet. Surely Jack would explain, right? So their was no need to waste a breath. [/scrolly] [bg=beige]

[Jay]

As Adam looked around, Jack smirked a little. "This place is so fun; ya ever played one of these?" he asked not being able to imagine Adam not having done so but going with the latter anyways. "They're all types of games ya try and win," he grinned before walking over to one of the games that appeared to be a newer version of Space Invaders. "Heh... man I haven't play this one in a while," he grinned taking out a quarter and inserting it into the machine to start it up. Sure enough, the aliens and the gunner appeared on screen. Jack took hold of the toggle and made geared it around causing the gunner to react in tow and shoot up at the alien ships. "Ya see?" Jack askede.

Though he hated to admit it sometimes, Logan did love the arcade. He didn't waste any time to walk over o one of the different systems and take up his Zombie Slayer game. In less than a minute, he was lost to it and would probably continue being lost to it until something changed.

[Lady Leaf]

[scrolly:h(230),w(390),sy,as(padding:4px;margin-top:10px;margin-left:10px;)] Adam shook his head when Jack asked if he had ever played one of the games before. Though instead of saying anything he just simply followed Jack over to the Space Invaders. As Jack explained, Adam watched with a great amount of curiosity. He had been confused at first as Jack took out the coin but just simply watched. It wasn’t until Jack began to play the game that Adam fell into awe. It looked like… fun! He really wanted to try too! He also wanted to know what the other games were like and… “What happens when you win?” He asked suddenly, looking up from the game to Jack. He really didn’t understand how hard it was to win these games, nor did he know about high scores and the such. It wasn’t until after he asked his question that he realized the other man, Logan, wasn’t with them anymore. His blue eyes ended up scanning the place quickly, finally spotting him by one of the other games. That game looked like fun as well but he was playing with Jack right now so… Adam looked down for a moment, reaching into his pants pocket and pulling out some rather large bills. Thing was, Adam had a lot of money. Most of it was hidden in his special place, but he kept some on him just in case he actually wanted to use it. He rarely did, but hey, it was times like this that it was handy to have some with him. After he pulled out the money he looked back up at Jack with an expression that read, ‘I want to play too.’ course he didn’t realize he would need to have his bills turned into change.

"Oh, wanna keep playing this while I make ya some change for that? Ya need coins to play," he explained while still somehow managing to play the game rather well. After a moment, he made to move and let Adam take the controls. [/scrolly]	[atrb=style,width:154;border:0 black none;]

[Lady Leaf]

[scrolly:h(230),w(390),sy,as(padding:4px;margin-top:10px;margin-left:10px;)] Adam had a rather stunned expression on his face as Jack asked him if he wanted to keep playing the game while he went to get some change. He gave a small nod and handed the money over before taking over the controls, his attention shifting purely to the game and blocking out the rest. It only took a few seconds before he was hit by one of the alien monster things in the game and lost his first life. Upon seeing his ship explod, Adam narrowed his eyes at the game. The second life he had at least managed to live long enough for him to move back and forth a couple times. The death caused him narrow his eyes at the game even more. His determination to stay alive at that point had rocketed causing him to grow rather intence with his movement’s in the game. He was at least staying alive this time. Though it was getting harder and harder and finally the monsters had become so fast that he got hit one last time. The screen turned red after that and read, ‘You Lose. Game Over’. Of course, Adam could read so he really had no idea what it said. Either way, he turned to look for Jack before announcing, “I think I lost.” [/scrolly] [bg=beige]

Stopping a moment as he saw that only 'ones' could go into the machine, Jack sighed, reached into his pocket, and made change before sticking a mass of ones in the machine and watching a good deal of coins rushing out. Such a horrible waste Third groaned deeply in the back of Jack's mind. Indeed, the voice was far from happy with seeing even someone else's money whom they weren't going to steal from go to waste. It was just so..impractical. Ripper just broke out laughing, and though he did his best to hold it back, Jack found himself chuckling as he watched the money change. Holding his hands under the coins before walking back towards Adam with them, Jack half smiled a bit as Adam stated he lost. "It takes some practice," he explained. "And that's what these are for," he grinned a bit making a motion to his hand full of coins. "Got some pockets for 'em?" he asked. [/scrolly]	[atrb=style,width:154;border:0 black none;]

[Lady Leaf]

[scrolly:h(230),w(390),sy,as(padding:4px;margin-top:10px;margin-left:10px;)] Adam slowly nodded his head when Jack claimed it took practice. His eyes then looked down at the mass of coins in Jack’s hand and Adam found himself grinning. He had lots of coins which meant they could play lots and lots and get all kinds of practice. Hopefully mother wouldn’t mind him practicing games. “Oh.” He quickly looked down at his pants again, dropping his hand back into his pocket and pulling it out again. In his hand he held numerous shiny items such as a few shiny gems, odd coins, marbles and rocks. He then placed those things into his other pocket before holding out his hands to take the coins from Jack. Once he received them, he placed those into the now empty pocket. It made his pants rather heavy and they threatened to fall off a bit, but he managed. “Lets play one!” Adam suddenly decided once his pants were in place and the coins were ready. As he spoke, his hand pointed towards a black box with red ‘blood’ painted down the sides. It read in big letters. ‘DOOM 2’ What ever it was, it looked like fun because their were guns. Adam had never used a gun before but they looked like so much fun. He really wanted to try it. So, without waiting, he skipped over to it before pausing to retrieve a coin from his pocket. Copying what he saw Jack do, he placed the coin into the slot and stood back up. That’s when he became lost. He couldn’t read what the screen was telling him to do and their were so many buttons. But there were two guns… maybe he could just copy the purple haired man.., [/scrolly] [bg=beige]

GUNSSSSSS Ripper sang out somehow very musically causing Cas to whimper something quietly while the more outright dark voice laughed. BJ himself grinned a bit and walked over to the game following Adam. Given that there were two guns, he easily picked up one of them. "You basically shoot like this," Jack grinned holding the gun more like it was real than not and then held it towards the screen before pulling the trigger. "And...pretty much just shoot anything that moves on the screen." The purple haired man chuckled at his own words before looking back at Adam and grinning a little. [/scrolly]	[atrb=style,width:154;border:0 black none;]

[Lady Leaf]

[scrolly:h(230),w(390),sy,as(padding:4px;margin-top:10px;margin-left:10px;)] Adam watched as Jack picked up the gun and showed him what to do with it. Silently, he held his own gun, copying the way Jack was holding his. Pulling the trigger a couple times, Adam finally nodded with a small “Ok,” With that he followed his instincts and quickly pushed the flashing green button and watched as everything began to flash. After a few moments of watching the lights his eyes fell on the screen. It had been just in time too, as the game had finished it’s little intro. When the time for shooting began, Adam turned out to be a rather quick learner. His first monster went down, then the second and the tired. One would have almost believed he had used a gun before, The frightening part was, he had never touched one in all his life. Only weapon he was use were knives or other random sharp objects. He had seen other use them during the different jobs he had worked but that was about as close as he ever got to one. [/scrolly] [bg=beige]

Ripper sang out more like an excited little kid rather than the vicious conniving bastard everyone in Black Jack Spade's mind knew him to be. BJ simply ignored him and shot the gun. It was fun for him too, even if it was just a game. Continuing to shoot, Jack's face drew a bit sharper when it came to harder monsters that had begun to appear. He continued to shoot, and both eyes were on the screen rather than on Adam directly. He did notice, however, that the man he was playing with was a rather good shot. ... or rather Ripper commented on such. Well that was just great then! It meant they could get a higher sore, after all. The game continued before finally ending, and as it did so, Jack slowly set the gun back down onto the machine only to grin at the sight of a high sore. "Hot damn! That was great!" he beamed with a chaotic childlike expression as he looked at Adam. "Not bad man. Not bad at all." [/scrolly]	[atrb=style,width:154;border:0 black none;]

[Lady Leaf]

[scrolly:h(230),w(390),sy,as(padding:4px;margin-top:10px;margin-left:10px;)] When the game finished Adam found himself staring at the screen, his light blue eyes blinking a few times in confusion. Finally Jack’s voice rang out causing Adam to turn his head to look up at the man. “We won?” He asked in a small voice before a smile tugged on either side of his lips. “Let’s play another one!” The screen he had been looking at had so many letters and numbers on it that he just couldn’t figure out what it all meant. Perhaps if he could read… but no, he wasn’t smart enough to read. Mother knew best after all. After his announcement to play another game, Adam had spun around and began to look around. There were so many box’s with blinking lights and each one had completely different pictures on them. It was almost overwhelming. So much so, that Adam was slightly wondering how he had picked the first game without trouble. Perhaps it had been the red on the box. None the less, the young white haired man finally let out a huff and looked back up at Jack with a look that only meant one thing, ‘You pick.’ [/scrolly] [bg=beige]

It appeared Logan was still playing his game... hm... Oh! Pointing towards a variation of Whack a Mole, Jack broke into a huge grin. "That one!" he beamed before suddenly walking forwards and taking up a mallet before looking at the screen that was actually behind the series of holes and series of moles in them. "See? Ya hit the things when they come up!" he explained. Very informative, BJ Third stated dryly. BREAK IT ALL Ripper sang. [/scrolly]	[atrb=style,width:154;border:0 black none;]
