[Yugi was already pinged when he saw the words Gaming Central himself and had already found himself wondering into the place to simply have a look around. At least that was all he was hoping to do. As he wondered it didn't take him long to see a fellow gamer and it was enough to make him walk on over with a smile.]

I should have guessed you would come here as well. What one are you playing right now?

[line_piece]

This one's a shooter.

[One of those older games where you're fighting terrorists or something and you have to aim a light gun to take them down as you progress through the stage.]

It's got a co-op mode if you want to jump in too.

[sizedoesntmatter]

[He looked at it quietly. Video games were not the usually type he would play, but even so it was a game one could play with another, so it couldn't be all that bad.]

I'll be happy to, but just remember I'm a beginning in this type of thing.

[He moves to that he was able to join her, next was trying to figure out how to do everything.]

[line_piece]

It's okay, I'll explain as we go.

[She can cover for him until he's used to it.]

Sight your target in the crosshairs on the screen and then pull the trigger to fire. To reload, point the gun away from the screen and pull the trigger. With two of us, you want to keep an eye on both our ammunition and try to time your reloads for a time when I can keep firing. I'll do the same, so that there's always at least one of us shooting. That way we can cover each other.

[sizedoesntmatter]

[He made sure to listen and to focus as he was going. Multitasking like this seemed easy enough for him. After all it was about a game, he had to. he nods as he listened to every word.]

Okay, I think I got it. Paying attention seems to be a major thing in this.

[line_piece]

Yeah. You need to be aware of sneak attacks as well as what's happening to your partner. That's why it's easiest to cover each other.

[sizedoesntmatter]

Makes sense. So multitasking, though how can you tell if anyone is attacking from behind?

[line_piece]

That won't happen. Older shooters have you proceeding in one direction only. Once you advance forward, there won't be any enemies coming from behind. All we need to do is watch the sides or for anyone hiding behind cover.

[sizedoesntmatter]

Ah, I see. I think I got it.

[He was ready now, he was slowly getting confident he understood.]

Okay, shall we get started?

[line_piece]

Yeah, let's go.

[In go the coins, and the level is underway.]

I'll cover the left side, and you take the right.

[sizedoesntmatter]

[He simply nods, taking it as his sign on understanding and was simply focused on the game that was in front of him. He was covering the right, aiming and firing when he needed to. He felt like he was doing decently okay at least.]

I think I need to quickly reload soon, so are you ready to keep an eye while I take that second to do it?

[line_piece]

Yup. I've got you covered.

[Chiaki moves into a slightly more aggressive posture, ready to cover the whole screen for a few moments.]

[sizedoesntmatter]

[Yugi used that moment to make sure that the gun was reloaded. Once he knew it was he held it up again.]

Okay, reloaded. I'm back.

[While the two were playing people had started to gather.]

[line_piece]

Good. To your left.

[Chiaki quickly changes her aim and shoots an enemy soldier just as he's appearing.]

[sizedoesntmatter]

Got it.

[He aimed to the left and fired, bingo right on target. It seemed like it was all going pretty well and they were getting pretty far. He still also hadn't noticed the increased number of people that had surrounded them.]

Okay, I think there is someone about to come to our right so we best be ready?

[line_piece]

We're being boxed in. We need to break through their line and get to the ammo cache in the next room.

[sizedoesntmatter]

Alright so how will we get through. i think I might have decent enough ammo. What about you?

[line_piece]

A slow advance will work the best, even if that sounds contradictory. But our accuracy will need to be good, or we'll run out before we can get there. We'll coordinate our shots so that one of us is always shooting while the other ducks down to reload.

[sizedoesntmatter]

It makes sense actually.

[They needed to get them as much possible with one shot. Maybe to the head he figured at least. He makes sure to do his best at getting one shot kills and he was somewhat confident when he managed at least the first two.]

I'll be shooting first then since I recently reloaded.

[line_piece]

Okay.

[Chiaki gets into position, crouching down behind the first obstacle.]

Shoot, head to the next safe spot, and I'll follow. We'll alternate like that as we move forward.

[She waits for the opportune moment, and then...]

Go!

[sizedoesntmatter]

[He nodded doing as what she told him, shoot then move toward the next save spot. Seemed easy enough and his shot had improved and was spot on. Looking back for a brief moment he checked to see if she was ready.]

Go!

[line_piece]

Got it!

[Chiaki pops up from her hiding spot, taking out the few guys in her way and joining Yugi at the next one.]

Good. We should be able to make it this way.

[sizedoesntmatter]

Well that's good, though. I wonder how far it is till the end of the level.

[It seemed like it was going on for a good while unless it was no levels and just continuous gaming until they reach the end.]

So we go this way and I believe you mentioned there should be ammo. Just checking before I go first.

[line_piece]

Yup. And the boss should be just a little ways past that. It's common to leave ammo caches lying around just before the end of a level.

[sizedoesntmatter]

Right.

[Since this wasn't the type of gaming he was use it, it was good to have it explained to him. With that the character he was controlling was on the move, shooting the ones that were left before getting more ammo.]
