[He doesn't mind the wait- a day or two up or down is nothing, really. They'll get to do all the fun stuff they didn't because of the cordis and that way-too-formal auction ball. He had owl wings, as per usual, during his own cordis so, if she spots a stray feather on him please don't laugh.
The arcade is busy and bustling with all kinds of random sounds so it's good that she stands out like that- for a moment. Bokuto's back into his usual attire- sans the sweatpants- jeans, very fitting black shirt with claw scratches on it (he shows off his club's image everywhere because he thinks it's cool) and gray jacket on top. His hair is back in its usual spiky mode.]
Man, you're too pretty for a dirty arcade! [Okay, maybe he said that a bit loudly and got an angry stare from some prismal, but who are they? Bokuto doesn't care. He was just being honest]
[He glances around to see what she's talking about but it falls flat. He's too distracted by her, and follows.]
You're not! I guarantee that you'll make everyone who's playing the game lose their match though. [Grin, grin. Yes, that was supposed to be a compliment.] Hmmm, can you dance in those though? [Heels.] I wanted to show you a DDR game! Since you like dancing! [One formal dance = person loves dancing, right?]
[He gently takes her hand so he doesn't lose her in the crowd (and make sure that HE is on the date with a very pretty girl), and gets them to DDR machine. There are two people competing on it already so they'll need to wait a bit for their turn.]
Ever tried 'Dance Dance Revolution'? You pick a song and then try to hit the arrows with your feet as they come up on the screen.
[If there was a way, he'd be radiating sun from how happy he is because of the laced fingers. He gets elated from little things, it doesn't need much to get him happy.]
Maybe the first time, but by the second song, you'll totally get it! [Especially if you're a good dancer.]
Hm? Me? [He tilts his head,] Mmmm, when I asked my friends home about it they said I'm, what was the word? Ah! Enthusiastic! [Average. He's average at it. They didn't have heart to tell him that.]
That doesn't say if you're good or bad at it, [ She says with a laugh. But okay! Her free hand gets put on her hip, and she looks at the feet of the players playing in front of them. ]
So each song has a different... ah, set of steps, huh?
You'll do great! [Even if she doesn't, it's still great! So long she's having fun, that's the important part. And dancing game seems like her alley.
He walks up with her to the podium for dancing and goes to pick a song for her. The tune is lively but not too hard to dance to and he's by her side when the song starts.]
[ She appreciates the support! And she's slow at first, missing the first few steps, but she actually does decently the next few times. She still misses every now and then though... but she seems to be at least smiling and enjoying!
[Bokuto claps loudly when she finishes up the song and gives her a look of utter surprise-]
What IS a passing grade to you!? [He gives her a grin and a pat on the back-] You did amazing for a first-timer! I actually couldn't finish the song the first time I played this, hahaha!
Want to give it another go?
[He has two left feet for dancing anyway, he'll gladly let someone who enjoys it more than him. And she does.]
[ She only gets so far as an A, still. Weiss is frustrated at this point, and one of the people in line gets a little upset.
"Hey, let us play, too!"
Right... Weiss looks a little embarrassed now, feeling that they've been hogging the machine. ]
Sorry, I should have been more considerate.
[ ... Is it like this in an arcade all the time? It sounds stressful to be here, but she steps down after that song and waits for Bokuto to lead the way to another thing they can do. ]
[Bokuto wishes they could have the arcade all for themselves- he loves seeing his friends get passionate about things they love, and dancing is definitively what Weiss likes. Maybe he should get enough chroma and just buy her DDR machine...
The people grumble as she leaves, happy that they get to play, but Bokuto's beaming at her, offering her his hand.]
[To Bokuto everything's fun so that's not a good thing to ask! They'd never leave this place.]
I like fighting games! And pinball! Oh! Also Pacman! That one's my fave!
[He's already scouting around for the machine- he'll need a bit of snooping to find it.]
It's this yellow, little dude that eats dots in a maze and little ghosts are chasing him! You have to get all the dots and not be caught by the ghosts!
I am not so sure... ghosts are ghosts I guess. Ah! Here it is!
[The machine was in the corner of the room, blinking happy at them, big screen showing off the said "yellow dude" and ghosts behind him.]
I didn't play in a while, haha. Let's see...
[He walks up to it and starts the game. The all too familiar 'wakawaka' noise is a bit muffled from all other arcade sounds, but the game displays exactly what Bokuto said- yellow ball collecting the dots while ghosts chase him.]

What are you saying? That guy just looked at you weird!
[ She is going to pull him aside before they enter. Come now!!! ]
I thought it would be fun to go here... I've actually never gone to one before, so... Am I dressed inappropriately?
no subject
What? What guy? I'm just being honest! Woah-

I can't say I have. [ But at least she's able to see how people play it. ] It looks... complicated, but I'd like to try it.
Are you good at it?
no subject
Maybe the first time, but by the second song, you'll totally get it! [Especially if you're a good dancer.]

So each song has a different... ah, set of steps, huh?
That's interesting.
no subject
Yes! They come onto the screen in order, and when they are in the circle, you press the arrow with your foot!
There are a LOT of songs! And it's a lot of fun.
no subject
I think I get it. I hope I don't look like fool doing it, though.

You can do it, Weiss-chan!
no subject
By the end of the song, she gets a grade of B. ]
Wh- What?! That's not even a passing grade!
[ By her standards, anyway... ]
no subject
What IS a passing grade to you!? [He gives her a grin and a pat on the back-] You did amazing for a first-timer! I actually couldn't finish the song the first time I played this, hahaha!

no subject
[ Or A+? Either way, she wants an A! ]
We can go again, yeah. Nothing too fast for now, though.
[ Since the players before them played a pretty fast song! ]
no subject
[For a first-time player is great.]
Okay, I got you!
[He chooses a more relaxed song, with a nice rhythm to it still, to be nice to dance to. He thinks it's on the easier side?]
no subject
[ .. Well, whatever. That's her goal now.
LET'S GO!!! Definitely a more relaxed song, and Weiss is actually doing better!
But it still lands her an A at the end of it all. ]
... Again!
no subject
[Listen, he's not looking into it too much, he just follows the rules of a game and has fun!
And she seems to be having fun too. Bokuto laughs and plays the song again, which earns a roll of eyes from everyone else waiting.
But Weiss looks so happy and into it and he has no intention of stopping her.]
no subject
"Hey, let us play, too!"
Right... Weiss looks a little embarrassed now, feeling that they've been hogging the machine. ]
Sorry, I should have been more considerate.
[ ... Is it like this in an arcade all the time? It sounds stressful to be here, but she steps down after that song and waits for Bokuto to lead the way to another thing they can do. ]
We should let them play, too.
no subject

Did you like it?!
[Don't let the others ruin your mood, Weiss!]
no subject
It was frustrating! I can't believe I couldn't get an S! [ This sucks, she hates it. >:(
(She had fun...) ]
no subject
[Bokuto taps his chin-]
I think you need to score at least 95% of the song perfectly for that.
[He's never seen anyone do that on their first try.]
Don't worry! You'll get better! You're natural at this!
no subject
[ There are a lot, after all! She's not sure what's fun. ]
What do you like playing?
no subject
