There's this thing with energies. Some people say that there are these places so concentrated with the right kinds of energy that they bring luck to people. This afternoon, Genina, Tracy and I found a place that had just the right kind of energy for us.
For our last gimmik for the sembreak, we decided to play in the arcade at Gateway. When we got there, the first game that caught our eyes was the crane game. Everyone must know it, the "win everytime" game. XD Hehehe. Gen and I were just staring at the stuffed creatures (she particularly fancied the crab ^^) while Tracy went straight for the candy compartment. And sure enough, there were a handful of candies that no one bothered to collect when they didn't get their little toy. So even before we spent any money, we already had the sugar to get our blood going.
That Timezone wasn't the best Timezone I've been to, I'd have to admit. It didn't have the game I liked the most: Guitar Freaks, 11th Mix. Which was quite a disappointment. But we stayed there because of some SMS confusion with Sig (and the last thing we want is to get into her nerves. >_<) and we didn't have a bad time anyway.
In fact, while Tracy and I were just bumming, (waiting for Sig to arrive,) we sat around the fighting arcade area and I was playing with the Soul Calibur controls while I thought it was on demo. Only after two rounds did I realize that Ivy was being controlled by the very joystick I was toying with. O_O We didn't swipe our card or anything, and I don't really know what happened...But we had a free game! And I gave the controls to Tracy because I was pretty sure she could win it from two rounds down (It was fun watching her anyway, her being Tracy and all XD). And she did win it. But it doesn't end there. What's more, we didn't just have one free game. We had, oh, five? XD Or maybe seven? I'm not too sure because I was too excited about our luck to count the number of times Tracy won and lost and pressed the 'Continue?' button. Someone must have swiped their card more than twice and must have forgotten about it. She certainly won many many times (she's Konata), so it seemed really really long. And there was always this challenger on the other side, who Tracy kept beating and who kept on challenging her. Hahaha.
Anyway, throughout this whole thing with Soul Calibur and the fighting arcade, Gen had been looking for us all around Timezone. And in doing so she discovered a shooting game that still had 1 credit! So she played it. XD Some luck huh?
Doesn't end there though..Because once the three of us have started to walk around again, Tracy and I watched the huge crane game as some people were playing it, while Gen, tired from all her walking I guess, sat at a random racing game seat to rest. You know how it is when you're seated in such places, your fingers can't resist pressing all those little buttons, which was what she was doing. And to her surprise, the game started. And before she knew it she was driving around in a race car. XD
Beat that. Hahaha. I've never before experienced so much luck in any one place. ^__^ I hope this isn't the last time. Whee~
