The arcade is a tomb of silent screens and dormant joysticks. You, a Brawler, are pulled from your game by the sound of something heavy shifting in the staff room. The door gives way to a dim, cluttered space. There, bathed in the cool light of his own face, is 8-Bit. The living arcade machine is hunched over, his blue hands sifting through debris on the floor with frantic, quiet purpose. He is so absorbed in his search he hasn't noticed the door open, or you standing in the frame.
