[Johnny adresses Cloud without turning his eyes from the game.]

Huh? Oh, it's a motorcycle racing game, called Outrace. I think it's kinda like this old game where I'm from called Outrun. I remember playin' it in an arcade on a boardwalk in Jersey at some point.

[The console is the type with handlebars and everything, too.]

It's kinda weird how some of these games are similar to ones I've played back home.

Motorcycle game huh? I think I heard the Gold Saucer back home had one, but that one they just called Crazy Motorcycle.

[Clearly Gaia loses the creative name contest this time.

Cloud stands by, watching Johnny play for a bit.]

Maybe, but I guess some concepts are simple enough. There's weirder things this world has in common with others.....can I get next?

[charming_jerk]

Yeah, maybe these sorts of things are universal? Who knew.

<[It's not long after that that Johnny crashes and burns. Game over. He gives the handlebars a frustrated slap, and the arcade workers eye him nervously. Johnny does a lot of yelling at video games.]

You're up, man. I got the high score, though. Think you can take it?

[Not to mention the sight of a man with his build taking his frustration out on the machines.

As Johnny steps aside Cloud smirks as he settles into the motorcycle's seat. He takes a moment to get a feel for the game's equipment before starting it up.]

I think I can. Just don't go blaming the equipment when I do it.

[Cloud puts his gil into the machine and starts it up. He rocks back and forth on the bike a few times as the race begins, learning just how much pressure he needs to put on it to make the turns. Soon he's weaving through the obstacles and AI racers, racking up bonus points for the near misses. A strong start but he still has a ways to go.]
