Description: Hand-to-eye coordination is pretty important, these days... Which is absolutely just a convenient excuse to play skeeball. Two birds, one stone.
Goals:
Step One: Gotta get into the zone! Start by warming up with some stretches.
Roll 1d4:
1. Loosened up your shoulder! You can adjust any 2 roll up or down by 1.
2. About average arms! No adjustment!
3. Got your wrist all ready! Adjust any 1 roll up or down by 1.
4. Woah, what an amazing job! Adjust 3 rolls up or down by 1.
Step Two: Roll 9d6! Each dice is a ball. You may roll them all at once, or separately, or a few at a time. It's up to you!
1. The ball goes into the 10 point bucket. Nice!
2. No points for this ball!
3. 20 points for this!
4. Nice, 40 points!
5. 30 points for this ball!
6. Wow, 100 points for this bucket!
At the end, tally up how many points you got!

The day was waning. It was nearly time to call it a night, but G-Man decided there was time for at least one last game in the always lit up arcade, a place that seemed so normal in a time of such disturbing discord. It was an area that was always so alive with flashing lights and game tracks that played over and over again. It was a place where he could get away and clear his mind, or on other occasions, a place to hang out with the others that he now considered not just friends, but a family of sorts.
A month together fighting to survive the good ol' A-poc had that affect.
His steps somewhat sluggish after his encounter with the invisible whatever that had attacked him outside, leaving him feeling battered and weak, G-Man made his way to the arcade for that final game.
He had no idea that it would be his last.

As he stretched out his sore limbs, his mind began to wander towards the last few days events. The bandits, the casino, the fog, the hospital, and the highway that he woke up beside. His mind wandered towards his brother, a young teen who had become more like a young adult in that last month, forced to grow up too fast too soon. To his mother, the woman that had raised him to be as resourceful and intelligent as he was, though he often hid that side of himself away from the world through his extravagance, odd dialect, and "swag". To the friends that he had made and to those that he had lost. Their was an aching emptiness inside as he recalled Lil Becks and the Jeff-Miester.
He thought that when he was finished here, he might go to the bar and sift through the remains. If there was any alcohol left, he might like to raise a drink in their memory.

"Aight, time to see if I can beat my high score, yo!" He said only to himself, as there was nobody else around to hear him.
It seemed, however much he had managed to stretch out and make feel better, that his limbs were still too stiff to do him much good. He sunk quite a few balls in the 10 range, and only a couple in the 100's, the rest of his balls mostly sinking in the 40's, which was good, but not great.
In the end, he had not beat his highscore, but what he ended up with was better nothing to really shrug at either. It was decent.
And it earned him enough tokens to finally buy himself a full fledged, full rank costume, something clean.
That, at least, was worth smiling about as he made his way out and towards the bar for that drink.
