Arche and Phi continued to roam the halls. The huge glass windows on the walls made for a marvelous view of outer space, and one by one, the stars glistened in the distance, almost as if it was greeting them. It was quiet. So quiet. One could get used to spending all of their time here.
"The stars are... beautiful," Phi said slowly, looking through the window.
"They really are. Though, you make it sound like this is your first time in space," Arche replied.
She smiled, "I've been to space on various occasions... and each time, I'm equally amazed. The experience feels new every time, you never quite get used to it," she placed her hand on the glass and gently placed her finger in the view of one of the stars, "It feels almost... enlightening."
Arche glanced over at Phi. Her eyes were full of wonder and admiration. He couldn't help but smile; it was nice to see her happy, rather than her usual mood.
Down the hallway, odd "ping" sounds could be heard, and curious, Arche turned his head to see where it was coming from, "I know I've heard this sound before..."
He lightly tapped Phi's shoulder, "Hey, you wanna check out some more rooms? See what activities they have?"
Phi took one last look at the ominous, silent galaxy before her, and walked away from the window, "Yeah, let's go."
They headed in the direction of where the sounds were coming from and looked inside the room. It looked like a bowling alley... but something was different; the alley was sealed inside a massive containment cube.
Phi noticed the sign above her: "Zero-G Bowling Alley"
She smirked, "Interesting."
"Zero Gravity, huh?" Arche whistled, "Well, it definitely makes sense, given where we are, but... how would zero gravity bowling work?"
"Only one way to find out, right?" Phi exclaimed. The two entered the room and shut the door behind them. When they did this, a loud suction sound emitted from the door, sealing the room tightly.
"That must be to seal us in tight, so the zero-g doesn't escape this room," Phi noted.
To the right of them was a rack was bowling shoes, though since they would be floating in zero-g, bowling designated shoes seemed useless. Phi approached the large containment room holding the bowling alley and opened the door.
As soon as they stepped inside, their feet immediately lifted from the ground, and the containment door shut behind them.
"Ahahaha, this is insane!" Arche cried, as he made flapping motions with his arms.
"I-Indeed, it is..." Phi said quietly, though her smile was as wide as could be.
He floated over to her and grinned, "Come on, Phi. 'Indeed'? Let it out! This is awesome and you want to yell it out!"
Phi watched as her pendant floated above her chest and slowly waved her arms through the air. She felt so free. Unhinged.
"This... this is..." Phi's eyes glistened.
"This is what?" Arche smiled.
She flipped through the air, "THIS IS INCREDIBLE! This is-" A red bra glided into her face.
"... Why is there a bra in here...?" Phi said bluntly.
Arche tilted his head, "What the hell?" He floated to the bra, "There's bite marks on it, too. Why is... forget it, I just figured it out. Suddenly, I'm not quite as pumped to bowl anymore..." He said dryly.
Phi pushed the bra away, "Let's just bowl."
