A cafe sits in the basement of the arcade, for those who just want a spot to relax.

The third floor of the arcade has a few “Purikura” photo booths, as well as a shop.

The Purikura booths allow you to get a picture of yourself, decorate it however you want, then print out your photo as a souvenir.

The shop on the third floor allows you to rent costumes for the Purikura booths, but they also allow you to buy Sega games and merchandise.

“I got the name from a web series my cousin Serina watches. Anyway, a warp drive… Well, you ever heard of the idea that nothing can travel faster than the speed of light normally? Well, what a warp drive does is bend space and time around something, sending it at speeds higher than light speed.”

“Heh, we haven’t started on time machines yet. Our current project is this.” She picks up a small device from the counter. “The Buster Thruster, a warp drive much stronger than any out there. You know what a warp drive is from sci-fi shows and movies, right?”
