BOWLING CLUB OPEN HOUSE!

bowling club open house
what's up? Those thunderous crashes aren’t heralding an unseasonable storm. No! What that rumbling and crackling means is it’s Bowling Time, Peckers! The lights are low and the lanes are hot — some of them literally — and Peckenpaugh’s Bowling Club is having itself an open house. All students are invited tonight to snack on sorta stale pizza and bowl a few frames in the name of supporting a classic Peckenpaugh Club. If you think it’s as simple as rolling a ball down a lane, boy are you in for a surprise. Kermie Creekmore and Lir Liu have rolled out wizard bowling for tonight’s event, and like everything with the word wizard at the front of it, it’s wild, exciting and probably dangerous!
visuals!
volunteer slots! After the events have concluded, Kermit, Jupiter, Fred and Audrey stay behind to help clean things up. Unfortunately, when they head down to the basement to get supplies, the door slams shut behind them and they’re trapped…

Hustler or bowling prodigy? [CHARACTER C] claims they’ve never played before, but they bowl a perfect game!
how this works! The event runs tonight from 7PM to just before campus curfew, so there's plenty of time to get a game or two in.

The event is open to ALL Peckenpaugh students, not just club members. This is a chance to come check out what Bowling Club gets up to. And also other things. 👀

There are four different flavors of bowling available, suitable for bowlers of all skill levels, so pick your poison!
  • WizBumper Bowling. Even easier than non-magic bumper bowling. It’s almost impossible to avoid hitting at least one pin.

  • Vanilla Bowling. Roll the ball and hit the little guys at the end, no Wiz about it.

  • Wiztraction Mode. Try not to get distracted! The pins flash, smoke, make loud bangs, and will generally try to throw the bowler off their game.

  • Survival of the Sentients. Less bowling and more live-action hunting game. These pins will do whatever they can to avoid being hit, including shouting “helpful” hints (or insults) at the bowler, crying and begging for mercy, and running away. Sometimes they’ll knock themselves over in the process.

locations! THE LANES: There’s SIX, count ‘em six full lanes of bowling action here at Elflock Lanes—though only five are available right now, as Elflock Falls’ local women’s bowling league, the Ladies of the Lanes, have reserved the first lane for their weekly practice. Lace up those shoes and roll a few frames while you’re here! Kermit is more than happy to help out anyone who wants tips on their form or follow-through, but he’s equally as happy to let everyone figure it out for themselves if that’s what they want. Pick a lane and get rolling!

THE GAMES: There’s a clunky old Ms. Pacman machine shoved in the corner, away from the bowling action, and a clunky, slightly less old Dance Dance Revolution machine shoved right next to her. It’s not a bad place to sit and eat, people-watch, or play video games, I guess. Just don’t spill that free root beer, Ms. Pacman’s controls are sticky enough as it is.

THE SNACK BAR: Kermie promised free pizza and soda to anyone who showed up tonight before clearing it with Lir, but that’s probably fine, right? Come up to the bar and claim what’s rightfully yours. Mr. Youngblood spends most of the evening at the bar drinking cheap beer and chatting with (or maybe just at) Lir, and not even Kermit knows whether or not he’s here in an official capacity.

COMEDIC STYLINGS: Those who fancy themselves comedians can try their hand at getting the stone-faced proprietor to crack a smile. They’ve been at this for three months and no one’s made him so much as breathe slightly hard through his nose. His mother thinks you’re all hilarious, though.

THE BASEMENT: It smells, appropriately, like old musty basement down here, and perhaps less appropriately like stale plasticky cheese. The door slams shut and just won’t budge ⁠— won’t even give for an Alohomora. Looks like they’ll be down here for a while. It’s about as creepy as you’d expect: big, dark and packed with old bowling alley equipment, pins and broken bowling balls, smelly old rental shoes and setter parts. There’s a broken Snoop Crupp-themed pinball machine amid shelves and shelves of old decorations and boxes of flyers and ads for past events. Poke around. Maybe there’s a buzzer you can use to contact the office upstairs. Or, maybe, there’s another way out...
