Now that homework was done and she found herself with nothing to do on a Spiderday evening, Lizzy decided to walk down to the Reaper Dorms to pester ask a certain Reaper about bringing her to the arcade; while there was one at the nearby Maul, she had never actually been in one. Her mother had classified all arcades as a place she should never be in, but she had already defied her mother regarding video games... And she enjoyed those so much! She was sure the arcade would be just as fun!
She wasn't about to go alone though... What if something bad happens while she's there? Besides, she needed a guide and some company sounds good; she would ask someone else, but really, Mac was the best choice beside Jericho. There was just no way she was going to ask the dragon because... Well, because it would be like asking him out on a date.
It would be too much for her to bear.
"Mac?" She knocked on the door to his dorm and waited, before knocking again, placing her ear against the door to see if she could hear anything from inside as she frowned, "Maccccc, you innnn?" She couldn't hear anything, save for what sounded like Scareon pups; he was either out, or trying to avoid her by staying silent - both seemed to be equally viable, really.

There. It was now perfect.
Mot has spent much of the last while putting the finishing touches in his room. It had to be western, and now, it was perfect. He breathed a sigh, and admired his work for a while. There was still a musty smell lingering, but for now he kept the window open. Mac had said that stuffy room smell near really went away. He had hoped he was kidding. It was only a lingering after-smell though. He was on his way to defeating it!
Oh well. Mot would find a way. It would just take time.
He was interrupted from his room gazing by the sounds of Mac's door being knocked on. He had a visitor? Wasn't Mac out though?
Mot opened his door and peaked out. Oh! It was the girl from class. Liddy...Lenny...Lizzy? Yeah, maybe.
"If you're looking for Mac, he's out." He called out to the pink haired one, leaning his back on the door frame and crossing his arms. The tall reaper smiled, freeing a hand to tip his hat at her. "Fancy seeing you here. Mac must have a thing for Pink Haired friends."

She was still leaning on the door, ear on it in an attempt to listen for any signs of Mac. Thus, when she saw the door beside the one she was leaning on opening, she turned red (WHAT WOULD PEOPLE THINK, SEEING HER LIKE THIS?!) before pushing herself off the door in time to pretend she had just been standing, like a perfectly normal person, outside the Reaper's room.
"O-oh, he is?" She sounded genuinely surprised; she really thought he was just trying to avoid her by staying silent in his room! She felt rather... Happy and relieved that he wasn't, although that emotion faded to disappointment when she realized that there would be nobody to take her to the arcade tonight.
Sad face.
Oh right! Where were her manners? She dipped her head before offering the boil a smile as she chuckled softly, "Uh, Mot, right? And I'm sure Mac would deny me as a friend, really, if you ask him." She couldn't help sounding amused, however, because despite what he says, she was sure he regarded her as a friend, somewhere deep, deep, deep inside his heart. Real deep.

Mot nodded, reaffirming Mac's not-there-ness. "Yep. Mot." He tilted his head at her following statements. What strange thing to say it was. "Ooooh.... So, if you are not a friend, you are a stalker? Neaaaat. Never met one of those!" He said with an amused tone. Hey, maybe it was true! So he was either teasing, or just genuinely amused.
"Then again, a real stalker would know he was out. You aren't very good at this, huh?" He said, almost sympathetically. "It's okay. You just need to try harder." He remained by his door, simply waiting for a reaction.

"A... Stalker...?" She blinked before turning red when she finally realized what he was suggesting. Quickly, she shook her head, lifting both arms to make an 'X' in front of her before frowning, her face still red even as her arms to her side, "N-no! Why would you suggest that? I think of him as a friend, really!"
She then paused momentarily, her frown fading to become a pout before she slowly smiled, her expression lighting up; a perfect distraction from this whole 'stalker' topic!
"Oh! Have you ever been to an arcade?"

The reaper grinned at the flustering he had brought out in the pink haired demon. What a pleasing reaction. "Oh, well, if you say so." He said afterward, shrugging with his hands raised in surrender.
He looked up once her mood flipped over, the question seemingly silly. "Of course. Hasn't everyone?" Mot asked curiously. He loved arcades. His parents told him they were a waste of time, but that made going all the better. The lectures afterward were a pain though.

She was glad that he understood; she was not a stalker! If she were to stalk anyone, it wouldn't be Mac anyway!
"R-really?" She blinked, twirling a lock of hair around a finger in an almost nervous manner as she became quiet; would it be weird to tell him? After all, they had only recently met in class... What if he ended up laughing at her? Then again, she did come here prepared to be laughed at.
Looking at him, she chuckled before smiling sheepishly, "Not everyone... I had never been, actually..."

"No kidding." Mot wasn't incredibly surprised, but it still seemed odd. To him. "Did you want to? They're a lot of fun." Mot was bored anyway, perhaps Lizzy had wanted to ask Mac to take her? That seemed logical.
"I can take you, if you want." Mot said in his friendliest tone. Gaming sounded great after all that room decorating. He was now anxious to get out of the dorm for a while.

"You would? Really?" She looked excited and surprised all at once; excited and surprised enough to forget that they hardly know each other and that as Tess would say insist, this is rather scandalous. Nope, right now, she was just really happy about being able to visit an arcade, maybe play a game... Maybe two or three...
"That would be awesome!" She took a few steps so that she was now standing directly in front of Mot, looking up at him with eyes that were... Well, frankly near sparkling if it was possible to do so, "I would love that! Thank you!"

Mot was surprised by the ghoul's sudden excitement, looking down at the sparkly eyed demon with amusement. She was like a puppy. How adorable. "Not a problem, little lady." He replied happily, feeling like he was some kind of hero. Aw yeah, Mot The Hero! He patted her head, then moved aside, closing his door. "I needed to get out for a bit anyway. Shall we?" He waved a hand forward, leading Lizzy out of the dorms.
"It was Lizzy, right?" He asked, trying to confirm her name. What if it really was Lenny? He would look a fool! Mustn't have that now! Nope, nope. "In all your years, how is it you've never managed to visit an arcade before now?"

He speaks funny!
She giggled at the realization before blinking at the head pat; its not that she wasn't used to it, but she hadn't exactly expected it. Still, when gestured to follow, she nodded, moving to stand beside the reaper before walking with him, grinning all the while.
"Yes! Its Lizzy!" She confirmed with a nod, still grinning away. When posed with his question, however, her excited grin faded to reveal a sheepish one as she tilted her head while still looking up at him, "Uh, well... Mother never really approved of them. I never really played any video games until I was introduced to them in school either... And they're fun, so I figured that arcades must be fun too, right?"
She then paused, a blush creeping up her cheeks, "And they're so... Bright. And loud!" Basically, she was trying to say that they scared her and she never really picked up the courage to walk into one, "My friends weren't really into them either, so... I just never went."

Mot listened to her explanation, mostly just looking where he was going, occasionally looking down at her as she spoke. "A logical assumption." He said with a chuckle regarding the comparison of video games to arcades. "My parents hate arcades and video games. I think thats why I do lay them though." Not that her reasoning was no good. To each their own. Perhaps she had a greater respect for the rules than he did.
Oh? "I think thats the point." Was bright and loud a bad thing? He hummed a bit, pushing the door open to the outside world and holding it for Lizzy before letting it close and continued on. "Well, do you have friends now that are into them? I know I am. And here you are, on your way to one now... Can you handle it?" He asked with a cheeky smile.

"You... Went against your parents?" Her eyes widened in surprise before she frowned, looking confused, "And deliberately too? Why would you do that?" It was a foreign concept to her, really; well, at least... Most of the time. She would like to listen to her mother all the time, but... Its really difficult, especially when some of the things are rather fun.
"The point is... Being bright and loud?" She couldn't quite grasp that concept; sure, games are rather bright and loud, but was that the main point? Muttering a soft 'thanks' as she slipped out the door, she then nodded, "Well, we're friends, right?" She giggled, "So yes! I believe I do! And I'm I can!"
Well, she can now that there was someone to accompany her. She wasn't sure if she could alone.

"Uuuuh yup." Mot answered back. "Often." Was that bad? Well, of course it was, but Lizzy's absolute disbelief was humorous. "Why?" Mot scratched his chin and shrugged. Why indeed. "Well, when someone tells you constantly you are forbidden to do anything, what does that make you want to do?" Maybe the answer wouldn't be as obvious to her as it was to him. "Lo and behold, the things they told me not to do, turned out to be awesome." He had learned no lessons, it would seem. He'd always quip back at his parents with the logic behind his deviousness. It always ended in being grounded.
Not that it stopped him either.
"You'll get it when you're there. bright and loud is the best part." All those fun flashy lights were part of the atmosphere, after all.
"Yep. Friends. It all works out." Splendid. He was now an excuse for her to enjoy the arcade. "What kind of video games have you played before?" She said she had, right?

"Uh..." She frowned, tilting her head one way and the other, looking rather thoughtful as she pondered his question; did she? She had always seen herself as a rule-abiding daughter/student/person, but... She had been guilty of breaking the rules, not that she did it because she was told not to do something!
... Not really anyway.
Of course, there was some truth to his words, since... Well, they were told to keep out of Breck's shed, knowing that the grounds keeper could be rather grumpy and hates visitors, as indicated by the million and one 'KEEP OUT' signs around his shed... Yet, night after night, students attempt to break into the back of the shed. Students including her - she even managed to go all the way to the room at the shed! What happened there, however, was a secret she would keep to her grave.
"You'll like Breck's Shed then," She chuckle before leaning in, standing on tip toes as she walked; how she did it in heeled boots is a mystery. Her voice lowered, she then giggled, "Its forbidden... Not that it stops anyone just breaking in~"
At the question, she blinked before grinning, leaning back as she stroked her chin, "Oh! Uh, my first was some... 2-player fighter game, but I can't remember the name of that game since it was ages ago. Also... Pokeman and Scario Kart!" Both of which were introduced to her by Jericho~
