"Green Valkyrie Needs Food Badly"
"Aww, c'mon. I know I've got another quarter somewhere." She muttered, mostly to herself as she started to pat down whatever pocket she could find between her vest and pants until she was victorious, popping in that one final quarter to get herself just a little bit more health so that she could continue on her noble quest.
"Haha! Take that, Gauntlet. Oh! Crap!" Quickly her other hand was back on the buttons, mashing away so that she could attempt to free herself from the grasp of death. It was always easier to play games like this with more than one player but she hadn't been able to con her sister into coming out with her today and no one else seemed quite as interested in the old game tucked in the back as she did. "Magic! Magic! Use magic, man..."

Magic?
That was what Ainsley had heard when she was passing through the arcade. She hadn't been to the arcade for a couple of months now, not since the day she first stumbled upon this place and found her small love for Dance Dance Revolution. Today was the day, she had managed to convince her sister to drop her off here while she had attended to errands, agreeing to come get her when it was time to go home. She would have gone straight for the dance machines but the word magic compelled the child for a more thorough look. Was it magic like... should she think it, senshi magic?
The child peeked around the corner of several machines until she seen the girl playing a game at the back of the arcade. She was watching for a moment before she stepped around her hiding spot and out into the open until she was standing rather closely behind the girl and the game. She was alone except for the bunny plushie that was slung over one of her arms, and dressed up rather pristine, not very child-like.
"What kind of magic?"

It was most certainly not senshi magic; not even close. This was the magic of near death experiences and button mashing, both of which Abigail seemed to be the master of. "Aw, c'mon... C'mon!"
It was then that it finally registered that a voice had come from nearby; a voice that hadn't boomed from the speakers surrounding the screen in front of you. "The kind of magic that you need to defeat Death before he can trap you and drain all of your health. Man, I should've been a wizard." She sulked for a moment before rapidly mashing a button again.
"Pop a quarter in and come play. I could use some help."

Ainsley wasn't sure what the woman was saying but she pulled out a quarter from a small pouch, holding it thoughtfully in her between two of her fingers. She looked between the woman and the machine, studying the two of them curiously. The woman looked awfully distressed, and the child certainly wouldn't feel right to just leave so she slipped a quarter in and looked at the screen. To be frank, the child hadn't a clue what she was supposed to do.
"I can try," was her answer but there were an awful lot of buttons looming at her. Out of curiosity, she pressed one to see what would happen.

"Trying is the best we can do." She nodded firmly, flashing a smile at the girl before her attention tilted back towards the screen. They had a war to wage! A battle to fight against monsters! Booty to save!
"Nice shot." There was a good bit of appreciation in her voice as she commented on the seemingly skillfully timed press of the button that released a magic attack that cleared the screen. "Name's Abby, by the way."

Ainsley didn't know what she was doing but the encouraging appreciation from the other player certainly helped. She hadn't pressed the wrong button and did something good! There was a small smile on her face as she watched the screen clear suddenly, turning to the girl next to her.
"My name is Ainsley, it's nice to meet you Abby."
