All these mesmerizing machines, just waiting to be plugged back in and played.

"Sounds like you don't enjoy pinball, Kim."

"No, I love it -- I love pinball. Who doesn't love pinball? Let's move on."

He doesn't.

"What's 'White Deora'?"

"Some kind of..." He looks around, thinking. "Inane pinball theme -- probably related to Messina during the Dolorian age. The history themes are the worst."

Deora was one of the three Crown Cities of the Dolorian era, on the Mundi isola -- the others being Rheasilvia and Advesperascit. This theme is all about early airships and beautiful, sad, pearl-laden women. It's quite nice actually.

The lieutenant grimaces, looking at the machines.

"How about we fire one of these bad boys up and play some ball?"

"You can't fire them up, they're broken. Only that one machine in the main hall works. The Royalist Pinball." He looks away.

What a dumb name -- Royalist Pinball. If they weren't broken, he would kick one of these machines about now.
