Tokeru smiled, he could have broken the blade in a second if he had wanted to. But he had no intention of fighting.

Deidre hiccuped as she attempted to follow the swirling arrows. She had not actually told them to swirl, but in her inebriated state, it was how they appeared. The owner of the arcade watched the raver chick on the DDR machine warily, as she was quite obviously drunk.
Deidre had sobered slightly in the time it took her to get to the arcade, which was something. However, she had not yet sobered up enough to be really good at playing games. "Thish game ish hacked," she muttered to herself, missing a pair of double notes.
"Hey-hey, not bad!" the voice of the game shouted as the song concluded, "Here we have the king of dance!"
"That'sh queen you f*****t," Deidre muttered to the machine as she worked on sobering up with the aid of her pasttime.

Well. If there was one place she hadn't expected to find a familiar face, the arcade was it. Still... Faeth didn't see any reason to complain. With a grin and a bounce, she made her way over to the DDR machine, leaning her arms on the guardrail of the second dance platform as she observed Deidre at her game.
"... You know, D," Faeth commented critically, "your foot keeps missing the down arrow. You ought to move forward an inch or two, realign yourself again." She couldn't work the smile off of her face as she waited to see whether or not she would be remembered by her acquaintance.

"I AM ALIGNED PERFECTLY!" Deidre shouted, as the shamisen sounds of Tsugaru began to play. "The problem liesh within the game's natural infrastructure 'n...'n....stuff."
"Awwww!" the game's announcer called as the safety bar ran out, "You were doing alright till ******** you, f**," Deidre muttered, grabbing another token from her stack at the side of the machine. She paused to look at her guest. "HEY!" she shouted, "Yer that nerdy chick! The one who didn't wanna party at that rave 'n' s**t. You missed shome awesome acid, man."

"I told you," Faeth began earnestly, "there's no point to those kinds of drugs. I mean, all they do is tweak the chemicals in your brains, release endorphins and the like- in the end, they end up making your receptors screwed, so you can't actually feel joy like you should, and--"

Deidre narrowed her eyes at Faeth, slowly taking her in. "You're what I like to call a 'wet blanket'," she said after a moment. As she drew Faeth's attention with her words, her hands slipped an extra token in the 2p slot. They moved with unnatural dexterity, considering her inebriation.
"Y'know what fixes that right up?" she asked after another moment, before grabbing Faeth, lifting her over the railing, and dropping her on the 2p side. "DANCE!" she shouted, as B4U began to beat over the speakers.

Faeth squeaked as her feet left the ground- she wasn't the hefty sort at all, more akin to the "hasn't eaten since last week" sort. Even all the equipment tucked away in various portions of her trenchcoat couldn't make up for her thin frame. All that said... it was needless to clarify that the act of lifting her in the air presented no difficulty to Deidre.
Faeth had played DDR once before, of course; what geek worth their college scholarships hadn't? But she hadn't precisely been a master of the dance floor. Still, she wasn't the sort to pass up on a challenge like this. Letting her laptop down on the floor, trying to keep from losing balance as she attempted to catch the first steps on the song at the same time, she endeavored to do her best with the game.
Her best, one might note, could be compared with Deidre's drunken dance. Except with a lot less dizzyness, and bit more "O______O;; omgomgomgwtfhowdoyoumakeitwoooooork?!"

"Sweet," Deidre giggled, as she realized she could play with her hands.
It was not a particularily new revelation to her, but it was new to her now. This allowed her to strike arrows that would normally be gotten by speedy dance moves...but she realized then that she lost her vision of the screen.
So instead, she decided to breakdance.
The problem was, spinning on your hand and doing the splits in the air was slightly more threatening when someone was exceptionally close to you.

The erratic movements were sufficent to edge Faeth off of the dance pad, cringing slightly as a foot came a bit too close to her face for comfort. Retreating to a safe distance, she turned to grin in Deidre's direction, mouth open to comment-
Then gasped as she saw the dancer's hand, placed into a new spot in order to prepare for a new move, landed squarely on the laptop case that Faeth had set down. And, naturally, the case had no actual leverage, so as Deidre put her weight onto that hand, it began to slide....
Faeth made a mental note. When drunk, one should avoid breakdancing. It scares people, and hurts them, and has a good potential of breaking bones. Or DDR machines.

"Ho, like s**t, here I go," Deidre murmured.
By now both their safety bars had both run out, and as the announcer sweetly sang "There's always, a tomorrow!", he took a foot to the screen. In a sprinkling of broken glass and short circuits, Deidre was knighted the queen of destroyed DDR. While that didn't much make sense, it was enough to push the bedraggled owner snap.
"YOU WILL PAY!" he shouted, his grasp on English slipping as he calculated the costs in his head, "Break machine and you will pay for it!"
"It's the copsh!" Deidre shouted, "Cheese it!"
She picked herself up, ignoring the cuts in her hand from pushing off of broken glass. Cheesing it and fleeing through the mall, she fled without knowing how close she came to uncovering the answer to her life's quest.
After all, with a broken machine, there was no way of seeing the three letters that had replaced hers at the top of the high score list...

Faeth was visibly torn between following after Deidre and heading towards the broken DDR machine. A few steps towards the door... one back... one towards the door... a rapid sprint to the machine, where she grabbed her laptop case and shouted an apology to the owner (dodging beneath his attempt to grab her, in his rage blaming her as much for the damage as he did Deidre) before dashing out of the arcade as quickly as her feet would bear her. "Hey! Wait for me, D!"

((My most humble apologies for taking this long.))
Deidre snorted and giggled as the two of them cavorted through the mall. "Didja shee the look on 'is face?" she laughed, asking Faeth, "Like he'sh never sheen someone dansh before."
She hiccuped again, and seemed to pause for a moment, heavily thinking something over. "Hey," she said after her thoughts were concluded, "Could he call shecurity? Are we shupposed to, uhm....leave, sho we don't get caught or shomething?"

((Like I'm not used to your laziness by now. XD))
Faeth paused a moment to consider this. "Well... we've probably passed half a dozen security cameras by now, at least. So, the fact that security isn't here already suggests that they're either not paying attention, or they're the really fat and out of shape kind of security people. So, it probably doesn't matter so much... but it would probably be the smart thing to do, yeah." She grinned in Deidre's direction, jerking a thumb in the direction of the exit. "Come on, you can show me around the city, maybe? Introduce me to the local hunters?... Please?"
