"Cmoooon Azur, it's just right over here!"
It would be a warm and beautiful afternoon, when Ettie jogged along - a hand taking Azur's, as she made her way down the streets of Plum City, Anne following at her heels. Though the girl-and-pup duo were able to near-effortlessly weave themselves inbetween the hustle and bustle of people going about their days, it was another question as to whether Azur could manage the same, given that he didn't share the duo's small size and agility. Ettie didn't seem to mind this fact all that much, though; instead focused on an arcade that sat just down the road, its sign flashing with neon lights that would catch the attention of any child.
The sign didn't seem to have Ettie's attention, however. What was really catching the young girl's eye, was a job listing posted on the front door. The arcade was asking for people to beta test a new arcade machine, it seemed; and Ettie had signed them both up for it! What was a better way to make some easy pen, than doing something fun, after all?
Though Ettie never did play many video games, she had been to arcades enough times to understand how arcade machines worked - and so, when they entered, Ettie would be quick to beeline for the arcade machine in particular. It had a militaristic coat of paint to it, in camo greens - with little cartoonish army characters painted on it, and the title 'Iron Snail' emblazoned on the side. Judging by the title screen of the game - which had a looping clip of gameplay in the background - it looked to be a side-scrolling platformer shooter, with two sets of buttons on the arcade machine's dashboard for up to two players.
"Here; I'll take player two, you can have player one!" Ettie chirped as she got into position; briefly figuring out the the controls by looking over the labels on the buttons. Anne, meanwhile, would curl up on a chair nearby; quietly watching to see just how, exactly, this beta testing session would go. Given the fact that Ettie had stocked up snacks and drinks in her bag, it seemed like she was in it for the long haul...!
