The Fourth will once more contact Loki through the laptop. As all other programs fade from the screen, leaving only a black background, the lights in the room flicker, as if all the powers is now concentrated on the computer. White words begin to scroll across the screen.
come to the arcade
i want to talk to you
The words remain on screen until Loki has read both lines. Then, just as quickly, they fade away, restoring the laptop back to its original condition with all programs and files still intact.
Once he accepts the invitation and makes his way to the arcade, he’ll find many machines running simultaneously. However, rather their usual resting screens, all of them display signs of victory, many proclaiming ‘You win!’, ‘Congratulations’, and ‘Victory is yours!’ in bright, excitable letters. The card table now stands in the middle of the room, two desks now on either side. The same robot that had played before stands on the opposite end.
“You did really well!” The voice comes from the overhead speakers and for once, there’s nothing synthetic about it. “You really risked yourself! Since you did me a really big favor, I have a gift.” The excitement is clear in his voice, and all of his praise is directed solely at Loki. “But let’s play first!”
The game will go much as it did before, with the robot standing in for the Fourth. Once it ends, a sliding sound can be heard from behind the encounter, and yet another robot emerges. However, it seems to be a model older than most that normally service the arcade. Once it is even with Loki, it holds out a hand.
Show me your keycard
Once Loki obeys, the robot retracts his hand, and suddenly, a flash of blue electricity surrounds the card but seems to do no damage to the robot. As the electricity dies down, the card is held out, though it now seems different. Rather than it’s usual design, it now resembles the artwork for his Fool card.
“We're going to play a lot together! When she falls, we'll be able to play without worrying at all!” The voice that comes through the intercom sounds a bit too excited at the thought of punishing his greatest enemy. While Loki gives details on his missions, the card remains in the robot’s hands. Once he’s finished, the card is held out, but when Loki’s hand touches the card, a quick shock of electricity will run through his body, though it’s not deep enough to be pain. With the shock, the boons will be granted.
When Loki now visits the arcade, all the robots will stop to greet him, and all games will now be free.
