[ Cute.

Which Poppy is decidedly not right now, staring at this machine like she wishes she could set it on fire with her mind. She snaps out of it at Shoko's words though, looking up at her, her eyes comically widening at the sudden appearance of a flask. ]

Were you just— [ does she have that on her all the time. Nevermind. Poppy takes it, and with it a healthy swig, handing it back to Shoko with a contented sigh. ] Yeah, alright, let's do this!

[ She is going to! Grab a plush!!

And this time she indeed does, but it isn't a cat!Shoko, it's a big!Shoko, lab coat and all. She's got her by the head, slowly bringing her up...

Drops her. ]

Oh my god.

[ This game SUCKS? ]

[irreversal]

[ Maybe....... Shoko will take a swig, herself, and then tucks the flask back into her pocket. Oh! It looks like she's got a better hold of this next plush—



Or not. ]

Oh, no. [ Flatly. ] How could you let me fall like that, Poppy-chan?

[fireball]

[ She is FUMBLING THIS.

She also knows enough about Shoko's sense of humour by now to know that it's okay, but, like. Her pride? What about Poppy's pride.

A long beat, staring at her reflection in the glass. ]

You know... if we smash this thing open, we could just take all of them... And every plush here...

[ s

seriously considering? ]

[irreversal]

[ Her pride... ]

Going from zero to a hundred right away, huh?

[ She chuckles, shaking her head as she nudges Poppy's side, partly to tease, partly to try and get in front of the controls. ]

Let me see. Maybe I can remember what my classmates used to do with these things.

[ And then she'll probably end up getting a Shoko-nyan plush in like one try because she's just so cool— ]

[fireball]

[ Shoko has nudging privileges. Also, Poppy really is ready to go from zero to a hundred, and with her mind devoted to pondering that, it's very easy for Shoko to take the controls. She moves back, gives her all the space she needs.

A beat, grinning up at her. ]

Well, I for one would be honoured to get a plush-you from you.

[ Mostly Shoko makes her feel secure enough in herself that she wouldn't even mind being emasculated by her, but also? She leans in, wanting to see the skills she's got. ]

[irreversal]

[ And Shoko's super special secret skill that she definitely picked up from Gojo is...




.... giving the whole machine a bit of a hip check first, jostling some of the toys within, and causing one of the Shoko-nyans to fall into a more advantageous position. From there, it's easy peasy to get the claw on that thang and WIN!!! ]

Yay. [ yay. ] Here you go.

[ Drops the plush into Poppy's arms. ]

[fireball]

[ Poppy gasps. ]

You dirty little cheat! [ But she's grinning, gladly accepting the plush. ] I didn't know bodily contact was an option.

[ She hugs her brand new Shoko-nyan to her chest, looking around at all the claw machines around them, just waiting to be hip checked.

Still grinning when she turns back to Shoko. ]

We got a whole arcade of these things to ram ourselves into, don't we...

[ Time to win soooo many plushies. ]
