-## Spin Alley Lanes & Arcade
 
-**What students call it:** “Spin Alley”, “The Lanes”
-
-**Vibe (student-facing):**
-
-- Slightly run-down bowling alley with glowing rune-lanes, enchanted pins, and an attached arcade full of games at least ten years past their prime.  
-- Carpet pattern is a crime against the senses; everything smells like old nachos and rental shoes.  
-- Still, it’s where people go for birthday parties, awkward dates, and Friday nights when they’re too young to drink at real bars.
-
-**What your character knows:**
-
-- The lanes are lightly enchanted so the pins always reset and the balls return reliably. Sometimes the enchantments glitch and you get weird ricochets or sympathetic strikes.  
-- The arcade tickets can be traded in for junk prizes, including a few very questionable magic items (like “shock gum” that’s a little too strong).  
-- Local league night is a weird mix of retirees, blue-collar townies, and a couple of tryhard mages who treat bowling like ritual precision training.
-
-**DM ONLY – Hooks:**
-
-- Spin Alley runs off a **small tap** that was spliced in cheaply; it’s prone to weird resonance when the main node is stressed.  
-- Perfect venue for:  
-  - A low-stakes Root event (possessed claw machine, animated pins, time-looped frame).  
-  - Social sessions where the stakes are emotional, not lethal.  
-  - A place for Elias / Estrada to meet the kids off-campus without it feeling like “school business.”
