It was getting fairly late in the day, but that didn't stop people from being out and about on the chilly evening in Durem. There were large clumps of people randomly walking around the streets, all starting to bundle up for the cold.

Walker himself was draped in clothes as well. Heavy scarf around his neck, European flat hat tilted on his head, and his hands in fingerless gloves stuffed into his pockets. He was still cold. Goddammit.

Heaving a sigh, the man felt again for the energy he was looking for, and managed to pinpoint it in a nearby arcade. He could only find the direction earlier, but with the decreasing distance between the two, it was easier to track.

Walker shivered with a small breeze that came by, and hurriedly quick-walked into the arcade. After the door shut behind him, he took a brief moment to shake himself a little bit, easing a little warmth into his limbs. He wasn't quite certain which brat in here was the one he was looking for, so all he could do at the moment was wander aimlessly around the arcade, watching the kids playing the games in earnest; he maintained an interested expression, occasionally sparing a moment to grin and compliment a guy on a move he just knocked someone out with.

Where was the one he wanted?

"Dude. Use the left hook, you keep using the kicks and they're friggin' weak."

Lucas shushed his friend Matthew, eyes fixed on the bright screen. His character, Leu Kang, was currently kicking the living daylights out of a computer-controlled Scorpion.

"I like the kicks. Lemme 'lone," he said. "I'm in the zone."

"Fft. Using the force, eh Luke?"

"Matt, I'll shove that slushie down your pants if you don't shut up and let me finish this."

"Weak. You don't even use fatalities, dude."

"SHH."

Walker was meandering through the aisles of games, his scarf hanging down in front of him and unwrapped from his neck. His hands were stuffed in his pockets, one of them folded around the small metal bookmark, feeling the strings dangling on the ends.

It was when he heard the two arguing voices that he could pinpoint it. They weren't too much louder then anyone else in the arcade, but they certainly drew his attention. Maybe the "jedi" comment, reminding him of the little twins he dropped on the coffee couple.

He stopped behind them, watching in interest while the boy, guy, whatever age he was, fought with an Asian character that seemed to be compulsive about kicking.

"A little OCD about your moves, are you?"

Lucas grinned, eyes never leaving the pixellated screen.

"What can I say? I'm a creature of habit. 'Sides, the pathetic specimen you see to your left insists on using the crap out of Sub-Zero. For his cheap, cheap ice powers."

"You take that back right now, heathen."

Lucas laughed aloud as Leu Kang kicked the enemy a final time, causing a painfully fake, painfully excessive spurt of blood to geyser from his skull.

"I win again, with one fraggin' move," he said smugly to Matt. "Cough it up, fat boy."

Matthew grumbled, glowered, and stuffed a five-dollar bill into Lucas's hand.

Walker watched the exchange between the two friends, before a smug look came onto his face. "Hey Hitmonlee. Wanna bet if I can beat you or no?" He asked, a crooked grin spreading while he raised an eyebrow.

"Bet you've never played anyone quite like me." He said, folding his arms across his chest, the bookmark stuffed up one of his sleeves.

Matthew grinned, and Lucas gave the new guy a sly look, moving over and gesturing towards the Player B joystick.

"Heh, if you insist. What'll you bet, friendo?"

He put on a thoughtful face, tapping his chin with one finger before his smirk widened, and he pulled the bookmark out've his pocket, the metal gleaming softly in the dim lighting of the arcade.

"I bet this." He said, laying the bookmark down on the gaming table above the controls. "I win, you take it." Walker raised an eyebrow again, drumming his fingers on the game table. "You win, your call."

Lucas arched an eyebrow imperiously. Not much of a betting type, this guy.

"Alright, alright. I lose, I take the bookmark. I win, you pay me five bucks, just like Matt."

"How original. Extortionist."

"Hardly. Opportunist."

Walker smiled, moving in front of the second player controls. "Game start, then?" He said, though it wasn't particularly needed. He selected his fighter, Johnny Cage(Why not?), though it didn't really matter to him who he played as.

It wouldn't have mattered who he played as, seeing as he won fairly quickly. He turned to the guy and simply grinned, leaving the bookmark where it sat on the game table. "Well, I hope you enjoyed the fight at least, SeƱor Lucas." Walker said with a small, flourished bow.

Rather put-out, Lucas picked up the bookmark and looked at it.

"Uh...yeah," he said to Walker. "Thanks for the bookmark, I guess?"

Matthew, slurping down the rest of his slushie, punched Lucas glibly in the arm.

"Told you to use a fatality, dude."

"Shut UP, Matt."

He merely smirked as he took the bookmark, and with an exaggerated tip of his hat, he disappeared in a small puff of smoke, the soft echo of laughter accompanying the disappearing trick.

"Have fun, boy. You'll see me again soon."

"GAH!"

Lucas fell back, coughing as he breathed in smoke. The arcade had suddenly gone dead silent, and Matthew had very unhelpfully dropped his slushie directly on Lucas's head.

"Holy mother of Metron, he just freaking teleported."

Lucas, wiping bright blue slush out of his eyes, spluttered and blinked dazedly. The bookmark was clutched tight in his hand, and he looked at like one would look at a snake, unsure whether or not it would strike.
