[ It took Peter a while to figure out the whole smartphone thing. To be fair though for him 'a while' was like... five minutes. Maybe six. Oh he still hadn't figured out EVERYTHING yet, but like the basics? Totally down. He had to fight the urge to try and take it apart and put it back together again. He had a feeling it was waaaay more complicated then the walkmans and arcade cabinets he pulled apart and tweaked. ]

This thing is so awesome... Like something outta a scifi flick or something...

[ There's a guy with a silver mullet and motorcycle goggles perched on his head on the screen. No really. Dude looks like he walked right outta the 80s. He pretty much did too. There's also an odd high pitched buzzing noise in the background. Technically it was music. A mix of Queen, David Bowie, Rush, and Pink Floyd. Not that most would notice. It was being plaid at like... several hundred times the normal speed. Luckily Peter notices he left his walkman on and he flips it off after a couple seconds. ]

Anyway, hey. Name's Peter Maximoff and it's come to my attention that it is the year 2016. Last I checked it was 1983. That means I'm missing out on 33 years worth of music and that's a damn tragedy. [Clearly that's his most important issue here now. ] So y'know. I need recs from all you future people! What's good? What sucks? I'm not too picky about genre but I gotta have music or I'll probably go crazy.

[ OK so really he's still worrying about his mom and his sisters and the kids at the Prof's school and other family issues that he just really doesn't wanna think about ~~daddy issues don't ask~~. So to keep his mind off things he's just gonna think about music and stuff because running more laps around the city really isn't helping him much. ]

Oh! And video games. There's gotta be like at least a dozen new versions of the Atari and ColecoVision by now, right?

[ Oh hey! He knows one of those. You're less blue though. ]

Meet ya there?

Yes, I will be there!

[ It's not too hard to find the arcade. Hard to miss actually. And now he's staring at the front doors practically bouncing on his heels. How long was he going to have to wait? He didn't think this through... maybe he should have asked for her address and just gone to pick her up? He can't just go in alone when he's meeting someone! ]

[ Luckily it doesn't take her too long to show up, though her perception of time is the same as every other non-speedster's.

However, she does make an interesting arrival; out of thin air a young eighteen year old emerges, landing quite solidly on the sidewalk outside the arcade. She looks quite pleased with herself, though the smile falters when she sees Peter's already waiting at the front doors. ]

You're here already? Wow, you really know the layout of this town well, don't you?

Oh cool!

[ That IS a nice entry. Teleporters are so neat. ]

Nah... Asked someone the general direction of the street you gave me and I ran around the block a few times 'til I found it.

You ran the whole time?

[ He doesn't look (or smell) sweaty and certainly not out of breath. She's impressed. ]

[ Thank GOD he doesn't really sweat all that much. Oh man he'd be so gross like all the time. ]

For the most part, yeah!

[ There was also a bit of dorky fast dancing thrown in when he got to a bit of song he REALLY liked. ]

Wow... you must be very fit.

[ She's also clearly fit herself, although she has put on some weight in her thighs and her shoulders and hips are broader than when she first arrived. ]

Teleporting makes things easier.

Yeah, I know a guy who can do that! Seems pretty handy. You're not as blue as he is though.

[ He's practically vibrating with excitement and he jabs a thumb at the door. ]

You ready?

Blue? Why would I—

[ You know what? That's not important. Getting through that door is! ]

Yeah! Let's go! Do you mind if it's loud?

Loud? Nah!

[ He does, however, freeze after walking through the doors. He's trying to look everywhere at once because omg it's like this has been ripped out of a dream or something. ]

Oh my god... do you see all this?!

[ She grins at his reaction, stepping closer to walk by his side and holding her hands around her back. ]

Isn't it cool? There's so many games to choose from!

I just... I... I'm used to everything looking like little blobby squarish things all stuck together-holy shit look at that you can ride a motorcycle controller...!

[ There's so much to look at it's actually a little overwhelming for him. ]

[ As they venture deeper into the arcade, flashing lights growing more intense and warmer, noise almost deafening, Sasha reaches for Peter's arm to tug lightly at his sleeve and point him toward one of the dancing games. ]

That one's probably the hardest game here, but so many people are good at it. You have to be really coordinated to advance to the higher levels.

Whoa.

[ He takes a moment to stare at this majestic machine and watch the person who was playing on it. A grin spread across his face. ]

Bet I can get the high score.

[ Sasha laughs aloud, partially skeptical and partially impressed by his boast. ]

No way... it gets really hard after the first few levels!

I'll be the judge of that.

[ And he just... disappears, the kid who WAS on the DDR is now standing next to it looking all sorts of confused because Peter took his place before he even realized he wasn't dancing anymore. ]

[ Sasha opens her mouth to say something, but as she look over at Peter she realizes he's gone. Confused, she glances around to figure out where he could have gone when she sees him in front of her on the DDR machine. ]

Huh? How did...

[ She chalks it up to herself not paying close attention, watching him closely now. ]

You're really going to try?
