Normal ones ... ? Cards, board games, puzzles. We had a chess set at the Circle but Jowan kept getting upset when he'd lose and knocking the pieces over.
I think one of these is a chess simulation. [ looking around in thought. what kind of arcade has a fake chess game. ] So no technology, just guys who are sore losers.
Is it better or worse to know that it was totally random? [ they seem to be pondering this themselves ] Because it was. The first souls available to pick without any real rhyme or reason.
Seriously, the spots aren't limited. You're not taking it away from someone more "deserving".
[ they shrug ]
The point is that no one here is innocent, but maybe they could earn a second chance. If you don't want it or to try for it, then that's that. We're not going to force you to try. This whole thing is something you've got to work for. If you'd rather self-flagellate for eight weeks, go ahead.
Deals like this are never so clean cut. There will be something lost in the trade. I don't know what it is you want yet - altruistic as the intention sounds. Only insane people do something for nothing.
Well, I can't speak for God's reasons, or even Ramiel and Zuriel's. But for me...
[ they shrug ]
You're right. Plenty of innocent people die, and the worst get to live forever. So I want people to have a chance at a future they wouldn't have had otherwise, because I had to make mine happen myself, and it was... It took a long time. And maybe I'm curious if it can even work.

Electricity.

Doesn't look much like any game I've ever seen.

[ they say this in a way that means they are aware that is not at all the issue, here. ]
What kind of games have you seen?

[ can you imagine. sitting in the arcade playing chess by yourself. ]
Is that all this place is? Games and food?
no subject
[ there are solitaire arcade games which is just as bad, it could happen ]
That's what all boardwalks are, I think. Maybe with more shops. I haven't been to one in ages.

[ WROW. ]
I haven't seen anything like this before. All of the ports I've been to are much ... seedier. Less games and lights, more cutthroats and dog corpses.
no subject
[ ... they don't disagree they move on; ]
You expected a seedy port with dog corpses in heaven?
no subject
For the record, I didn't expect this place at all. So I had zero expectations.
no subject
[ maybe he did want the dog corpses... animal hater... ]
I don't think anyone here expected it. But it's a new thing, so maybe that's normal.

I didn't say i wasn't going to try.

Then what's the issue?
