"Hold hands?" To Mitsu this made sense, this was a fairly crowded place after all. Since Lizzy hadn't offered her hand out to Shun Mitsu turned toward the reaper and held out her free hand to him. She seemed to just let it hang there waiting for him to take it before she moved on.
When it seemed Lizzy had finally settled on a game to try first, Mitsu looked it over with interest. "How do you play?" The set up was pretty interesting. Skario Kart. At least Mitsu could tell it was some sort of driving game.

"It's just a precaution," She told Shun, looking back at him with expectant eyes. True, it would probably be easier to find the reaper--who was much taller--than any of the ghouls if they got separated, but just in case. They didn't want to have to spend time looking for a lost member when they could be playing games, after all!
Trailing after Lizzy, the ghoul perked up as her friend pointed out one of the games. Skario Kart? "Yes, how do you play?" She echoed Mitsu, tail wagging eagerly behind her. This game looked like it was going to be a lot of fun! Though...she wasn't entirely sure that she would be very good at this kind of game. Knowing her, she would end up crashing into all the walls and end up in last place.
...Well, she wouldn't know without giving it a try, right? "So we each take one of the seats?" She asked, walking a bit closer and--since she was still hanging onto the two ghouls-- gently pulling them along with her. Four machines and four seats--just enough for their little group.

Shun stared at Lizzy for a few moments before glancing down at the hand Mitsu offered out to him. He heard Xiu's input as well, but.. he still wasn't really sure. He didn't really hold people's hands. The exceptions were generally when he was trying to drag someone along but even then that was generally the wrist he grabbed.
"..."
Staring a little longer, he slowly and hesitantly took the wolf girl's hand. This was a little weird. He didn't really know if this was really a good thing he was feeling but he just.. kinda wet along with it for now anyway.
Glancing over at the Scario Kart machines, he silently stood by while the girls decided they'd play this first. The Reaper... didn't really want to play but at least this sort of game involved little to no reading at all. Grimacing, he released Mitsu's hand and took one of the machines reluctantly.
"You sure I have to join in on this?" he asked to neither of the girls in particular.

Lizzy smiled when Shun took Mitsu's offered hand; it was sweet of him... Perhaps he does have that soft spot for the ghoul, after all. She giggled when Xiu started to pull them all towards the machines; yes, go Xiu! Take the machines before someone else takes a seat!
"I'm not... Really sure," She tilted her head before letting go of both ghouls' hands to take a seat at the first machine. If she weren't wearing her boots today, she might had found it a little uncomfortable, seeing how she was just able to step on the gas pedal with her boots on. Thankfully, the seat was one that was adjustable and she quickly moved it forward to make it easier for her to reach the pedal located under the machine.
"I guess we step on that to move and then use the steering wheel to... Steer?" She turned to look at their little group, "I'm pretty sure that's all there is to it!"
At Shun's question, she nodded before grinning, "You do! Come on, it'll be a friendly race~" She wants to win though!

It was odd to be holding the reaper's hand but Mitsu didn't put a whole lot of thought into it. When he finally released her to head toward one of the game seats she took the remaining one in the line. With interest she looked over the controls through her mask trying to gauge what needed to be done. While it was well decorated there really weren't a lot of controls to mess with which was good.
"It will be more fun if we all play," Mitsu said looking over at Shun. "It wouldn't be very entertaining to just stand around and watch."
Fishing into her pocket for a silver Mitsu popped it into the machine to start the game. As the game began and the lights began to flash before they were actually allowed to take off, Mitsu realized she didn't know much about the mechanics behind how to drive a vehicle....hopefully this wouldn't be an issue.

Xiu emitted a very quiet giggle upon seeing Shun take Mitsu's hand, and she nodded her head approvingly. Unfortunately, that didn't last long as they all separated to sit in their individual machines. To Shun, as the other two had already said what already needed to be said, she simply turned to look at him to go, "Yes, aniki."
Trying to get settled in her seat, the Baku grabbed the steering wheel experimentally, twisting it this way and that. Looking at it closer, this game didn't seem too bad? At least, there didn't seem to be too many controls that she would have to pay any mind to. There was the steering wheel, the gas pedal, the brakes...
Hmm, nope. She wouldn't be using that last one.
"Ready?" Grinning, she followed Mitsu's lead and slipped a pumpkin seed into the slot. Honestly, she expected to crash and burn, but...might as well give it a go! It seemed like fun!

Quite frankly, Shun wouldn't have minded if he just stood by. But he had a feeling the girls would gripe him out if he didn't join in. He also missed the looks and giggles he received from Lizzy and Xiu when he had taken Mitsu's hand earlier thankfully.
With a sort of grimace, he took the wheel and went on to choose his vehicle after depositing a silver seed.
This was a bit different than driving a bike, but he had driven normally too a small handful of times. Even then, this game didn't completely emulate that experience. Once the light went green, he went ahead and got started with the race. While he didn't really want to play that much, that didn't stop him from trying to win in the slightest.

She inserted a seed into the machineas well, and set up the machines for a linked play; thankfully, the instructions on the screen were simple to follow, and soon, the four of them were racing. Well, racing virtually, but still racing!
"EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-" She squealed when she finished first, just ahead of Xiu... Who was just ahead of Shun... Who was just ahead of Mitsu. Really, it was a split second's difference between each of them, which was rather amusing, actually; she giggled, leaning forward from her seat to peer at her friends with a huge grin.
"Want to go again, or play something else?"

When the race started Mitsu didn't quite know what to expect but she certainly had an inability to drive. A couple of items she had managed to completely turn the car around. Needless to say much OAO; was had and in the end she came in last. It wasn't very surprising.
"I guess we could try again?" She looked to the others to see if this was an agreed upon idea before she popped in another pumpkin seed to try again.

Ah, so close! "This game is actually a lot of fun!" Xiu beamed, before nodding enthusiastically at the chance to play again. "Yes, please! One more time!" She was pleased that she hadn't driven into as many virtual walls as she thought she would. Since her last tactic had worked fine, she decided to forgo using the brake pedal again.
Did the makers of the game really expect for the players to use the brake in the first place? It was a racing game! It didn't seem very useful in this case.
Following Mitsu's lead again, she popped another pumpkin seed into the machine. "Everyone get ready!"

While he tried to keep a lead, it just wasn't about to happen. Grimacing as he came in close to last, Shun shook his head to himself before glancing to the girls. Before he could really say anything, it seemed that they were planning on trying again.
With a sort of sigh, he tossed in another seed into the machine and started to get going again, however it seemed that Xiu went zooming on ahead right from the start. If only the same could be said for himself.

"Alright then!" She giggled, grinning at Xiu before tossing her a thumbs up; when everyone was ready, she inserted another seed into the slot and stepped down - hard - on the pedal even before the 'GO' appeared on the screen... Too bad that didn't secure her the first place, as Xiu zoomed ahead.
Well, at least she was still ahead of Shun!

It seemed everyone was in agreement so with that in mind Mitsu reached into her pocket for another pumpkin seed and slipped it into the slot of the machine. Beep...beep and go! Mitsu did mostly what Lizzy had done and stomped down on the gas hoping that would better her odds of not coming in last.
It apparently worked because she didn't end up at the end this time though Shun did. Perhaps he really just wasn't into the game and didn't care. For her it was a small victory to...was she second? Third? It was a tie with Lizzy so she wasn't sure.
Climbing from her seat the lupine had a look around again to see what other games there were. "Ah! Shun there's a dancing one. You were good at dancing at Prom." Her tail began to wag a little thinking she had done well to find a game that Shun would be good at. Yes, he had danced well at Prom and he had even managed to keep her from falling over! Though...she wasn't sure the hip thrusting move would be of much use here. The game looked like it was very feet involved.

Xiu would have been a ridiculous sight if anyone had been watching her play: her brows were furrowed in concentration, and her tongue had been sticking out from the corner of her mouth as she made smooth turns around the racetrack. Basically, her face was like this: >:9
The moment she zoomed past the finish, the Baku threw her arms into the air, her tail wagging behind her. "Woohoo!" Had she been with anyone else, she probably would have been a little more demure with her joy. However, around Lizzy, Mitsu, and Shun, Xiu found herself to be quite comfortable. At least, comfortable enough to let go of her usual insecurities and just to have fun.
Hopping out from the seat, she turned to look at the game that had caught her friend's attention, her own eyes lightning up. "It looks like it would be fun, aniki! You should give it a go!" As she spoke, she played almost absent-mindedly with the camera that hung around her neck, her lips spreading into a big grin. "Mitsu's right--you were a good dancer at prom. Don't you think so too, Lizzy?" The pink-haired demoness was shot a big mischievous smile, and a very subtle thumbs up. Maybe this would be the fun game the were looking for that would prompt the reaper to smile.
