VIDEOGAME LAND
"Welcome-a to Videoland!" tells you an animatronic, rusted and chipping man. "My name is-a Somari the Spaceman! It's-a very good to see you, woohoo, ha ha!!" Next to him a green (also chipped and rusted) fat Hedgehog statue dressed in green and with a leather outfit stands close doing a peace sign. "And I'm his good buddy, Scory the Porcupine! Welcome to Videolang Buddy!"
Ahh Videoland! Popular no less than ten years ago, it has began a recent decline compared to the other parts of Happy Happy Land due to most of their clientele simply growing too old for it and going off to the other parts of the planet. Still waiting for a new deal with a game provider to use their licenses, it becomes older and more jaded, still trying to have the same magic as a while ago, but the dream being long gone. The world is now a dangerous combination of video games bordering bootleg and strange creatures and things that are just the right amount off not to be written as simple copied parodies. Costumed men and women wear the suits of the mascots, and a few pretty girls wearing the Princess Lana, Ruler of Videoland™ costume don't look as bright and cheerful as they should be. Every four hours, there's a Captain N: The Gamemaster show, with the typical theme park overacting and asking kids questions as anagrammatic versions of Mother Brains, Eggplant Wizard & King D'ippo capture her and have to be saved by Rock N' Rollman, Solomon Belmont, Kid Icarus and, of course, Captain N, the Game Master.
Everything seems sort of wrong. Like a marketing gimmick that caught on. The annoying young kids seem to like the show, mind you.
However if you're not here to watch terrible theater productions, the park is divided into six subsections, accessible by a monorail. Well, when the monorail is working anyway (and it is today! LUCKY YOU!) When you arrive you are standing near the Palace of Power, large, impressive (and pink) castle that apparently belongs to Princess Lana.
Kongoland is jungle-themed. Once in a while you see a large animatronic ape roar in the distance, but it looks completely fake. The sections' biggest draw is, of course, the Videoland Arcade. Somari's classical game is displayed prominently, but there are also spinoffs like the slot machines and a really, really intergalactic popular hit, Kart Fighter. Kart Fighter has an entire subgame community dedicated to it. On most days you can find foul-smelling aliens huddled together on the big screens, watching the tournaments going on.
The game is only surpassed by the other mass playing Monster Dragon Tactics Phone. Teenagers and young kids can be seen walking around with their portable console, playing the game, exchanging Monster Dragons and just making walking around in this room a bit worse. If you stay, there is more! Panda Adventure, Jurassic Boy 2, The Dragon...
But...if you look closely, you might start to notice some strange things. Like this Hardy & Centaur Take on Black Dragon Queen! arcade game, Night Fedyd games, Advance Emblem, Fire Wars, Scory the Porcupine, Deus Ex Machina: Building of an Empire, Nurse Who, McNinja Burger, Age of Dragons, Final Quest of the Fantasy, Dungeons and Dorks, Ronin Sentai Rangers, Effect of the Dark Mass, Space Pirates!, Danbateyo! Clash of Ninja-Pirates, Magical Teleportation Gun Adventure, Resident Sweet Home, Gate of the Stars, World of the Stars and Crafting, and Disgaea 77: The Quest for Even More Money. They're all here, in various sections. Pricing is based on hourly play for some and judging by the amount of food, some aliens have been here for a long while, saying out numbers and things like robots, talking with their teammates.
The second level is dedicated to all sorts of instrument and rhythm games. Dance Dance Revolution, Guitaro Devil, Guitar Angel, Guitar Super Angel Devil the Second Best DX, Popo and Nana Rythm Fever, Drum Drum Super Beat Master, Sing sing your Heart Out! and of course the classic, Band of House Rock.
The third level has all sorts of board and card games, but only the nerdiest of the nerds go there and they tend to be...really special.
The food served here is jungle-themed as well, overpriced, tiki umbrellas and roasted bananas everywhere.
MetroidSpacepirateland is pretty much your terrible run horror section of a theme park, with four haunted houses, terrible horror movies in the scare-o-thing being displaced in 4D SMELL TECHNOLOGY (bring a coat, you'll get wet!). Men and women dressed up as space pirates move around the theme part, pushing everyone and probably the only costumed people in Videoland to enjoy what they get to do - be grumpy and annoying and get paid to do it. There are zombie movies of every kind in the classic section, mostly in black and white.
Food is BBQ themed, large racks of meat are roasted around in pits everywhere by zombie-dressed attendants and space pirates.
Centered in everything, a large tent gives out horoscopes by famous Madam Rizzles, for a mere (read: very very overpriced) fee!
Megaland, is a sort of future world, where everything is bright shiny silver, sleekly designed and hosts Videoland's biggest rides and luck-based games. This is Rock N Rollman's world and you can see the tiny green guy shaking hands, posing with kids, and just generally being himself. Something about "To Energy Tanks and Beyond!" Do you like neon? Hopefully because this place is filled with it. NEON OF EVERY COLOR.
There are roller-coaster rides, space shooters, laser shooters, that spinning thingie everyone knows what it is by looking but can never really name, an entire row of zippers, spinners high atop the largest tower (you have to sign papers) and so on.
You can win toys of every kind! Space robots! Superheroes! Other types of super heroes (WITH SWORDS!!) Baman and Robbit action figures! Horribly disfigured plush toys hang on nearly every game booth as booth owners scream out in loud microphones for you to come try your luck at this or that and get a large overstuffed toy, all videogame themed. Somari is present everywhere from toys to plushies to an entire line of Kart Fighter outfits. Kat (with bright red hair) from Advance Emblem and Maverik (who has pink hair and a yellow outfit) can by won in a shooting game. Some transforming action figures too!
A large dog goes around in a costume giggling at the loosing contestants and generally being a pain. It is a miracle no one has killed him.
The food is videogame themed. There is also pizza of every kind and a special kind of cake that is served.
Mount Icarus is the children's section of the theme park. Dangerous but child-size rides are scattered across out, with the Kid Icarus themed yoyo swings, a tunnel of love (cause he looks like Cupid, you see) and magic cloud carpet rides (we don't know either)!
Children's food and ice cream colors are available, very, very overpriced. You're better to go to another overpriced part of the planet than to eat here.
Castlevania is half horror (since Space Pirate Land stole some of that) half medeval land. There is a special section of the the section (a subsection if you will) called Carnival of the Damned that boast the biggest coaster on the planet, the Monkey Island theme ride! The entire ride lasts for a mine-shattering 10 minutes boasts several drops, and lava and claims that no accidents have happened for the last TEN DAYS! WOW!
As with everything, it is medieval-video game themed. You can pose with the main hero, get yourself some leather whips and 'holy' water (not really holy), and fight off some men in vampire costumes.
The only food you can find here is Fish-Cream Sandwiches which are fancy baguettes with roasted eel (but shh that is a secret), cheese and cream inside. That's it. Nothing else. Well actually, there is the wild waffle reserve that allows you to hunt for one waffle if you want to pay the price, but they are hard to catch.
With all these sections it might take a while! Or you'll just run off in horror to another park and never, ever look back.

She cracked her fingers and...pressed a switched under her. A very 8 bit holographic screen loaded up in the middle of them. Strange enough, they moved as she uses her fingers as if she was holding a normal stack of cards. VERY STRANGE.
"Virst, I vill pick a single card. It represents vou...and vow! I vall upon the povers of vhe ouver vates!" as she closed her eyes, music in the back grew in strength. Open reopening them, her eyes began to glow.
If anything, he was getting her money's worth in theatrics.
"The first card, as the dame has said, is your soul card. It represents you." Her voice had changed.
"The Queen of Coins is a woman that represents the sort of person who is always there for you - in times of need, insecurity, distress - ready with a shoulder for you to cry on and offering an unjudgemental ear. Her appreciation for the finer things in life often connects her with art history and antiques. She is a woman born of a refined linage.
A practical and grounded friend, the Queen of Coins is in her element in any type of crisis. Her sensual nature is as open as her deep feelings, but she sometimes needs her partner to share the same wealth to feel secure and free."
"I will now deal your fortune, O Ronnae Belore Ryllos, the Queen of Coins." How did she know her name? Magic? Real Powers? Simply checking the registered people on the planet today? IT WAS A MYSTERY.
O.o holy shit!

"The war has forged many bonds for you, has it not? I see families merging and growing. But something bothers me. Perhaps the next is the crossing card will explain me why. It can either influence you...or make you fall greatly."
"I see! This war causes you great distress with those you care about. Yet it goes deeper than that, you try to place yourself as protector, sometimes forgetting that others can give this to you, in turn. You pull compromise for the sake of those you love, hurting yourself in turn. Do not loose your goal in this sea. Remain yourself, and do not be afraid that you are not exactly like those you love. Next is the crowning card. The crowning card shows influences which will be brought to bare that will come into being if present trends are continued."
"I see! The cards tell me that you should enjoy what you have right now for all it is worth. Not because it will disappear, but in the future, there might be time for it. Love and cherish those close to you."
"The next card can be dangerous, as it is the base of the matter. This card represents the problem, the base of the matter. They can also represent the hidden subconscious root of the problem or background to the situation." Carefully, she turned it around and...
"...as I feared. The war you are in seems to have new troubles rising up slowly. Be careful of these new players. They are more dangerous than you could ever imagine. I see many struggles. Next, the card of the past."
"There was a great loss in the war recently. You were overcome, hurt, the struggle was unforgiving and a sacrifice was necessary. I see a victory but at a great cost. And now the future of this war..."
"You may be called to be the central party in a situation. Do not tilt to one side or another too quickly. Justice is blind. Remain partial and fair and the truth shall set you free."
"The next card is your general attitude towards the task at hand."
"You are avoiding something aren't you? What, the cards will not tell me, but I see a struggle. There is a journey ahead of you, between you and someone you care about greatly. Something will have to budge, if you are to move forward. The next card are your hope and fears...."
"I figured as much. You are afraid of loosing them, after witnessing the great loss the other card told me about. You are afraid that they might be next, and you aren't sure what you would do without them."
"Some might see you as being too extreme for their tastes, but many see you as having deep feelings for those you care about. Furthermore, the card signifies change, a cut in what was there. There are new projects and ideas on the horizon."
"The final card is what the cards predict the outcome to be, if you continue down your current path."
"The war will be hard. But the Empress is a card of power! If you work for it, if you are diligent and pay attention to what all the cards have told you, then there might be hope. Work towards your goal, and you will be well rewarded."
She clasped her hands together loudly as the cards folded back to themselves again.
"The reading is done. Heed the wisdom of the cards, Ronnae Belore Ryllos, the Queen of Coins. Work to bring justice and fairness to all of those you care and love, but do not turn yourself into someone else completely. Otherwise there will be nothing but a deep burn inside your own soul."
Silence. The woman closed her eyes and slumped backwards before returning to normal.
"Vee are done vanster. Vell all your vriends about me!" The gate behind him opened again and the tent's fabric was pushed up as the sun strick inside with a blinding flash. " Now vooo! Voo!"
In other words, get out of her tent.
>.>
But she was being shooed away, and not wanting to anger someone who had their hands in fortune, she walked off reluctantly after giving a quick bow.
Once outside, she looked to the ground, deep in thought about the things she learned today... Was it real?
