A wave of nostalgia overwhelmed Haruka as the Crown Game Center loomed over her; it enchanted her with the idea to enter.
It had been months since she even set eyes upon the building; however she felt an itch to play some arcade games after a monotonous day of school. Nothing in particular had changed since she had been gone, except she noticed a hot new game sitting in the corner that had already been preoccupied by a bunch of pre-teens.
Motoki seemed overjoyed to see that Haruka decided to stop by and quickly went to greet her. They discussed the new arcade machine only briefly before the racer withdrew herself from the conversation to stop at her favorite video game. The racing game boomed with life as it cycled through its introduction screen and music poured out of its speakers.
It felt natural as she sat down in the soft padded seat; she was a racer after all - it didn’t perfectly emulate the feeling of being behind the wheel, but it was a satisfying substitute for now. The selection screen fired up as soon as she inserted two arcade coins into the machine. It roared to life and the race began once she selected her favorite car combination.
Haruka momentarily was filled with adrenaline as she passed up all the other computer racers; it was invigorating having them eat her dust. She was a natural at this game! Everything she did was second nature to her.
This game brought her a nice distraction from such a stressful day that she played several games in a daze.
[I apologize for the lame introduction, but it has been such a long time since I've roleplayed and I'm a bit out of practice. Please note that I am taken by another Michuru already so I'm sorry to say that interacting with other Michiru's would be awkward. Thanks.]
