Well, I suppose a few more games can't hurt.

[Pyrrha smiles proudly, turning back to the stall operator and putting down some money.]

[The game runner gets a panicked look on his face at those words. On the other hand, at least if these two trade in the prizes they won then he might actually recoup some losses. Reluctantly he hands the two some fresh rifles.

Raising his gun, Cloud smirks as he looks down the sight.]

Bet I can get a higher score than you.

[Pyrrha grins, picking up her gun as well.]

I accept your challenge!

[The game begins and Cloud opens fire. The bb's ring with each impact as he takes down targets one by one. As he's tended to do with the games on this strip he starts out slow, but as the game goes on he picks up speed and accuracy, getting better the longer he goes. His brow furrows in focus, trying to block out the world around him to avoid losing his rhythm.]

[Pyrrha remains respectfully quiet so Cloud can concentrate, though she can't help but smile in excitement as she watches the targets fall.]

[neverfirstclass]

[The two are neck and neck for a good while as they continue to fell their targets. It's then that bad luck strikes Cloud. The next target that pops up bears a clear resemblance to Sephiroth and Cloud hesitates, missing a high point value chance.]

[pole_position]

[Pyrrha on the other hand, not knowing Sephiroth that well and not possessing the impetus to stop and think about it, pegs the target front and center. It's that one that puts her over the top.]

[neverfirstclass]

[Cloud is left just a little bit dumbfounded as the game ends, still trying to put his brain on track after that distraction from the one target. His mouth opens and closes a few times as he tries to come up with an excuse. Finally he just bows his head and slowly shakes it instead.]

You win.

...Cloud? Is something wrong?

[neverfirstclass]

It's...it's fine. One of the targets looked like...it doesn't matter.

[pole_position]

Do you want to try a different game?

[neverfirstclass]

[Cloud looks at the rifle for a moment before sighing and putting it back on the counter.]

No...I think that's enough for now.

[Cloud's mood is a bit shot now. The man running the game seems relieved though.]
