"THAT'S GREAT, SELENE!" ``He hugged back, grinning. It was good to see her happy, plus First Place was always good!`` "This is great! You really are good at this game, Selene." ``He complimented her, still happy.`` *[Heh, bestie. That feels nice.]* ``Mentally saying to himself, he felt nice knowing he was her best friend, that was good. He lightly chuckled after thinking that.`` "Well, you have bragging rights now!" ``He joked.``
Regina
"Thanks James, you're a really good friend." *Selene smiled at his compliment. He wasn't wrong, she had done it! Magikarp Jump? Completed it! Luckily for her, James was there to witness it. Now, she could actually support her true story with evidence. She grabbed her phone out and took a picture, sending it to everyone, yep, including James with the caption "I made it." She was super happy about this and wanted to forever capture this moment!*

*She couldn't help but smile at his joke, even though it was silly. Selene wouldn't brag about getting first place in a stupid arcade game but it was cool to have done so.* 

"Yeah, yeah, I'm the best.", *Said Selene, letting out a giggle.*

"Anyways, what do you want to play now? Do you want to continue or do you want to grab a bite and sit down for now and play more games later? Either way, both is good."
Carolyn
``In the picture, James flashed a grin of joy. Thinking about Selene's question, he tapped his chin for a couple seconds.`` "Would it be alright if I had a go at Magikarp Jump?" ``He asked.`` "I just want to try it out." ``He sort of pleaded politely towards Selene, he didn't know why he was pleading, she would probably let him anyway.``

"We could go get a bite to eat after though, I think this place does have some snacks." ``He told her, his stomach growling.`` "Or- uh, maybe food first, if it's alright with you?" ``He asked once more, ready to ask for snacks rather than play a game.`` "I have the money, so I can buy something for you as well!" ``He offered in return.``
Regina
"Oh, yeah,sure ... Sorry for standing in the middle." *Selene moved away, feeling bad for standing in front of the arcade machine. She hadn't even realised she was doing so. She apologized, hoping that James would forgive her. She stood behind him and peeked over his shoulder.* "I'm rooting for you, James! Do your best!"

*Selene wasn't that hungry, she almost never was but since James' stomach was growling, it'd be impolite not to grab a bite.* "Sure, let's grab some snacks and air down." *Selene smiled, obviously flattered by his gesture but she'd never accept any money from him. She shook her head and declined his offer.* "No, thanks! You've already done far more than enough by simply being here! It's luck that brought us here together.", *Said Selene, giving him a big hug from behind.*
Carolyn
"I guess it is! And that's fine, I just wanted to offer, and you got first place! That's something to celebrate over with food, y'know." ``Saying that, he strolled over the counter to ask for snacks like a hungry cat. Paying for a bag of chocolate pretzels, he opened the pack and walked back towards Selene.`` "Are you sure you don't want any?" ``He asked, opening the bag and put one in his mouth.``

"Ahh, these are so good!" ``Was all he could say after eating one.`` "You really gotta try one, Selene, you'll like 'em, I *Promise* You." ``He assured her as he offered the packet towards her, it was quite spacey, so there were quite a few pretzels in there.``
Regina
"No, thanks, I ate back at home." *Selene shook her head. She had already eaten something back home. Besides, she already said she didn't want any, she had to stay true to her words. Yep, they look delicious and she knew that she would have loved them but she wasn't in the mood for any.*

"What did you eat for lunch?", *Asked Selene, curious to see what he was up to.* "Have you been eating?" *Selene smiled, crouched down and poked him in his belly.* "Boop!" *Selene let out a chuckle and covered her mouth using her hand.*
Carolyn
"Ah, alright, alright-" ``James was cut off when she poked his stomach.`` "Y-yeah, I did, but... Please don't do that, Selene." ``He had a weirded out look on his face as he began eating again, filling his stomach and regaining his power and will. Moving over to a bin and putting the packet in, he stretched for a second and approached the machine.`` "Okay... So I just..." ``He inserted a coin and began playing. As Magikarp leapt up, it jumped quite high at the press of a button, but not as high as Selene, but to at least place himself in Top 15!`` "Fourteenth! I'll take that as a win!" ``He said with a boost of confidence.``
Regina
*Selene's face expression quickly turned from happy and cheerful to an apologetic one. She didn't want to make James feel bad, this wasn't her intent at the slightest. She quickly felt like the need to apologize.* "Uhm, s-sorry for that, James." *She carefully watched James, hoping that he wouldn't make a fool of himself. As the Champion of Magikarp Jump, she always appreciated a good play. Seeing him finish 14th was a happy moment for her. It wasn't bad, actually it was decent enough. That's better than the first time she ever played.* "Hehehe, good on you James! Great skills you've got there. Now, let's play another game."
Carolyn
"It's fine, Selene!" ``He reassured her again.`` "It just caught me off guard, it's alright." ``He huffed with a bit of pride from her compliments.`` "Thank you. Maybe if I play this game, I'll get everything to know about it, then I can beat you!" ``He continued saying, chuckling.`` "So, what do you wanna play? There's a ton of games, honestly." ``He glanced at few of them, taking note of one machine called Sinistaryu and that other new game.`` "Hmm..." ``He just simply thought to himself, wondering.``
Regina
"O-okay James." *Selene let out a nervous laugh and rubbed the back of her neck, not exactly knowing how to feel. Thankfully, James seemed to be fine with it. If he didn't, Selene would have been super mad at herself. Hopefully, that was all behind them.*

"Uhm, no idea, heh.", *Said Selene, letting out a chuckle and looking around.* "We can do what you want. I don't really care." *Selene shrugged her shoulders and let James decide, knowing that he probably had more experience.*
