002 - Arcade...? [Visual] [Backdated to 6/1]

[canreallyfly]

U-Um... s-so I saw the arcade open yesterday... Wisteria - the other Fluttershy who lives at the cottage - and I saw it, and it looked so very crowded... s-so um... I don't think... I'll be going... s-sorry...

B-but, I'm curious... wh-what kind of 'games' does it have...? I-I've never... heard of an arcade before yesterday...

So... why do people like them...? [She doesn't quite understand.] Wouldn't it be more fun to have adventures with your friends... and play sports with them?

[action]

[strengthinkindness]

Well... [How does she explain?] Sometimes it's fun to...just pretend too...Like...you know when little foals play make-believe, and they imagine themselves as somepony else...? Or they create big adventures and do a lot of sometimes impossible things...?

Video games can...kind of be like that...The worlds are already made for you, so it...can be easier to put yourself in it...A-And even if you're not good at something in real life, like sports...you can be good at them in video games...

[canreallyfly]

Mm... yeah...

I-I guess... that makes sense... But you'd still have to... be in large crowds, from the looks of it... I-I do want to look, but... too many ponies...

[strengthinkindness]

Mm...w-well, at arcades you do...in other places there are...personal home video game systems...

[Thinking for a moment, she smiles.]

How about...I check it out for both of us...? I could...take a look, and let you know how it is...

[action]

[canreallyfly]

H-Home video game systems...? [Okay, that she could get behind.]

I-If you want to... You don't have to do that if you don't want to... [Wisteria was still a Fluttershy - Juniper knew she'd probably still have the same issues that she had... but Juniper was still re-adjusting to things.]

[strengthinkindness]

[She nodded.] Mm...You can still play with friends on them...but you can also play alone if you wanted to...

Mm, I don't mind...I-It might be fun to check it out...

[Fluttershy though she was, she was easing herself to being around people. And she hadn't seen an arcade since being in the Digital World, so it might be nice.]

[action]

[canreallyfly]

O-Okay... if you're sure... [She needed to try being more like Wisteria... if she could just get re-adjusted to Equestria and the off-worlders...]

B-Be careful...

[strengthinkindness]

[Another nod.] I will...If it's too busy there, I probably won't stay long...
