... it all started that summer he decided to work at gramps' arcade for a little extra cash. it was a usual busy Saturday when he vaguely decided to check the back storage for some inventory things when he found it.

an old-school arcade machine in mint condition.

not bothering to ask his gramps why it wasn't out on the floor, he managed to move it out and install it in the far east corner of the shop. giving it a whirl, it was the most bizarre nonsensical game he'd ever played. whenever he died and had to restart, it seemed as though each restart was an entirely different game.

when he finally managed to beat one of the strange worlds, the machine buzzed and fussed until some strange prize came out of the bottom slot he hadn't even noticed until he heard the round marble prize rolling down a spiral shoot behind the metal exterior of the machine.

upon closer inspection of the semi-large object, it was an oddly colored hard candy ... this arcade is located in Times Square NY, tourist central

;; who else dares to win a prize from the mysterious arcade game? ;;
