Delia Lin
Delia was intensely focused, unaware of any of the changes around her. Focused to the point that she was in a zen like state, blankly staring at the machine in front of her her fingers twitching, flicking the paddles, acting on instinct.
I was right! Today I’ll beat my highscore and fill out the leader board~! Okay, okay calm down. Getting ahead of myself, I’ll fail if like that. I don't wanna tilt it like last time, that was a disaster! as these thoughts crossed her mind Delia could see herself losing the ball, but she could save it if she just-
"I see that you seem to be lost, young one. Would you care to draw a care and reveal what fortune smiles upon thee?"
Crack, like shattered glass her concentration was broken and time seemed to slow as her last shot drained away. For a long moment Delia was staring uncomprehendingly at the pinball machine, as if she thought she could just will the ball back up. When it finally sunk in she turned her head to the lady who interrupted her.
“Lady... I thought my fortune was already smiling on me. I thought that I was doing pretty well. Then this lady, this freak dressed as a fortune teller interrupted me. Now I don’t know what your problem is, but it was obvious that I was in the middle of something. So, I am going to take a card and leave before I do something I regret so much my intestines turn green!” snatching a card from the fortune teller she flipped it over and saw the Wheel of Fortune.
“Ha! Fortune? Lady meeting you was the worst thing that’s happened to me today!” turning to give a final glare at her only to find this fortune teller was nowhere in sight. Confused, Delia slid the card into her wallet and walked out into the street, noting the red sky, but missing the moon altogether. Shouldn’t sunset have passes a little while ago? Oh well ‘red sky at night, sailor’s delight’ or however that rhyme goes... wait does that mean it's going to rain? Or that it's going to be clear? I should get an umbrella anyway. Maybe if it rains it'll wash away my annoyance! turning on her heel Delia walked up the street looking for a store that sells them cheep.
