Nightshift 24: Game Room

Maybe it was just the mystery of how he'd gotten to this weird place, but Usopp was increasingly nervous as he followed Kazuo's lead into the game room. Unable to take the darkness, Usopp finally turned on his own light without Kazuo's permission for another brief sweep across the windowless room, turning it off as soon as he'd had a second glance. It looked... comfy, but he was worried he'd trip over something in the dark.

He waited in the doorway, shivering a bit, for Kazuo to step further in before he'd follow. It also felt a little bit like a room with only one exit--wait, it was a room with only one exit, from what he'd seen--and considering the weird circumstances, he didn't know how comfortable he was with that. Though Kazuo still seemed cool as ice...

Kazuo walked in and started to go through the game boxes on the shelves, flashlight tucked into his sleeve to dim the light. He fished around in the games and found a handful of dice and some little tokens, and used one of the plastic bags from the box, filling it with the little trinkets. This he tucked into the waistband of his pants.

He continued to move between the shelves, moving them experimentally to see if any were loose, but there were not. He hoped Penelo would hurry up.

Usopp felt a little... not annoyed at Kazuo's snatching of potentially useful items, but possessive somehow. As a pirate, much less an inventor and genius, he really couldn't let his roommate take all the goodies out of the room. So as Kazuo began to check through shelves, Usopp started at the other end of the shelves, opening game boxes to try and take out any remaining dice or other useful items. Plastic caltrops or ammunition, they could be really helpful in a pinch... and he still needed to keep an eye out for anything elastic that could be transformed into slingshot-material.

As the others looked in the boxes for toys, Protoman examined the boxes themselves, until he found one that he could just fit his arm into from the elbow. It wasn't the most comfortable thing, and not at all as sturdy as a Met helmet, but for now, this was his Proto-shield.

That was when he looked over and saw Penelo and her friend in trouble. Well, he said he would be useful didn't he?

He dashed out of the game room without a word.

Kazuo listened to the ruckus outside and wondered what kind of fight might be going on out there. Whatever it was, he wanted in. He glanced back at Usopp. "Hey, sounds like we've got company. I'd come along if I were you. No place to run in here."

With that, Kazuo ran back out into the sunroom.
