A crowd was gathering in front of the claw machine in the arcade
Nearby, someone was holding back the onlookers with a long PVC pipe. The machine, it was quickly apparent, was filled with supplies. Radios, food, water, and more - this was the best chance they had at getting some much needed help for themselves after the gunfire and explosions in Zone 1. But as one of the Arcadians, guardians of the arcade and all its prizes, the guy with the pipe was only allowing those who had an extra something to play this game.
"One token, one try."
That extra something was arcade tokens. This Arcadian was only letting these supplies go to those who could master the game.
PLAY TO WIN
It's a MALL SUPPLY RAFFLE!
Here's what you can win - that is, if you can master the claw game.
Sept 20th: Radio Juice Can Chips Parka A
Sept 21st: Radio Juice Can Chips Parka B Fishing Rod (2d6-2)
Yes, there's two radios, two chips, and two juice cans! Each item with doubles will be rolled twice, meaning two different people will win them.
Raffle tickets/claw game attempts cost arcade tokens, the quintessential mall currency. Each token you use is one ticket toward whichever item you are going for - meaning if you want to enter for radio and the juice can, you'll have to use 2 different arcade tokens. Once you use them, you lose them to the machine - though if you've been saving up tokens over time they still can count toward your costume. You just can't use them on any future supply raffles.
Still unsure what that means? Here's the longer version: Tokens you save up for a costume (ie you've earned 22 tokens so far over the event) stay in your total. They don't go away. You don't de-rank. However, each token you use on a raffle cannot be used for any future games requiring tokens to play. It might be another raffle, it might be a rolling game, who knows! But if you have 22 tokens now, and use 22 tokens, you'll still be at 22/30 for the costume, but you now have 0 tokens to use on future raffles till you earn more.
All tokens used in this raffle must be earned before 11:50 PST on September 22nd. The raffle will be rolled after 11:59 PST.
Use this form to enter. Make sure to link each place you earned your tokens from! And use multiple forms for multiple items if you are going after more than one.

Having just finished playing some arcade games, Sunny heard a commotion in the arcade and made her way over, apologizing for the occasional bumps into other Mall Rats and inanimate machines.
She heard mutterings about supplies and at that point her interest was definitely piqued.
One token, one try? Sunny held her recently earned tokens in her hands. "I'll do it," she spoke up. Opportunity was knocking.
Sunny was running off of a winner's high, considering she took out seven enemies on the shooting game and earned a 230 on the skeeball. It was honestly, and quite literally, blind luck. She was having a lot of it lately.

So there was something going on?! A raffle maybe?! Nice! Leiah made her way through the crowd, debating. She had to give up some tokens to enter? Wellllllllllllllllllllllll....Sure why not? That parka was looking pretty snazzy anyway
fRitsa was a bit iffy about the arcade game at first but as soon as other people were throwing in their tokens so was she. Especially with such tantalizing prizes, it was however not something Ritsa expected anything good would come of it. After all it was a well known fact that claws were rigged, people had to either throw so much money at the machine before the claw had a chance at enough strength to hold onto something. Or the strength was fixed enough that only very light tiny objects were possible. Still she figured she had to try.

Playing a game to win some gear seemed like it might be a good way to unwind and get his mind off of things, so G-Man headed over to the arcade. When his turn to try out the claw machine came around, he stepped on up and handled the controls like a pro.
....Well, as pro as one could really be with a claw machine, which wasn't very. Still, he really wanted that snazzy looking parka. It looked so clean.
[ SEREVA ]♤Mall District Survivor -----------------------------
Sereva stepped into the arcade, scanning the area as a crowed began to form around the claw machine. Her interested peeked, walking forward she observed what the commotion was really about "A way to get supplies eh?" she said. A smile forming under the strips of white cloth she had used to tie around her face. "Seems interesting enough to me" placing her hands together she cracked her knuckles one after another before going to try her hand at the machine.

He was more likely to break the machine out of frustration than he was to win, but he liked a good challenge either way so Drew stepped up, tokens in hand, and grinned at the well-costumed dude. Guy. Girl. Person.
Thing.
"I'll give it a shot," he said, eyeing the rod and the radio. They looked the most...useful. At least to him. The parka looked pretty neat, too...

A claw machine with supplies?! Compared to how they used to distributed the supplies to them, this method was a way to take back the tokens they earned. Gretel considered the possibility that the tokens on their hands were all used up, so they needed a recycle. Anyway, there were some items she wanted to get and she's gonna take a gamble.

Now's the good way to use these tokens, thought Saul. The best prize would be the carbon fiber fishing rod, which he can just dismantle and use like a whip...
But getting more PROTECTIVE clothes wouldn't be too bad, too. Hmm.
For the meantime he just put the tokens for the rod.
