Never been to an arcade, I take it? Well, my good sir, you're in for a treat! If you like games, your gonna love this.

I like games, but I've never seen any like this at all. You're familiar?
Sure am! I used to make a living being a pro gamer, though that was mainly in first person shooters and games like Starcraft. Arcade games are way more casual, unless it's DDR, people go crazy over it.

I understood like, maybe a third of what you just said. [ he will be honest here. ]
[ help, she just laughs at that. ]
If you like to dance, DDR is your game, but if you like to just go crazy, one of the shooting games might be good. Really you can't go wrong with any of them, there's something for everybody.

Never thought of myself as a dancer. How'd you even play a shooting game? Is it like toy guns?
Kinda, yeah! [ looks around for one to point out ]
The classic ones have like red and blue guns, so you can play with a buddy. There's a lot of zombie themed ones.

Well, if you're a professional, you'll probably kick my butt [ censorship... ], but... show me?
No worries~ I'm used to carrying. [ nods!! she will find the nearest zombie shooting game and drag ace along. ]
I'll let you do the honors of choosing first.

Carrying?
[ what do you carry he thought this was a shooting game?? speaking of he will take... a red gun. he didn't really think anything of which game he has no knowledge ]
The color doesn't matter, right?

[ waves hand, don't worry about it!
she will pick up the remaining blue gun. ]
Not to the gameplay, no, it's just to tell player 1 and 2 apart. So you'll be player 1, you're guy is outlined in red, so pay attention to him on the screen.
[ there are two doodz, one outlined in red just as she said, and the other outlined in blue! ]

So, what do I shoot? Everything?
[ he is just aiming at the screen like ??? but at least he knows how gun works so. he can shoot the trigger. will his aim be good because aiming at a screen vs irl is very different???? a mystery ]

You gotta shoot the zombies, which are gonna be outlined in yellow. Careful not to kill any of NPCs.
[ there's a tutorial before the actual gameplay, so she believes in him. ]

Oh, color-coding helps. And obviously I shouldn't hit you either, right?
[ no friendly fire... ]

Right! It'd be game over if that happened.
[ she'll have to find a game where that is allowed, for him....?? ]

[ does she have to. does she ]
Alright, I think I can handle this! [ the tutorial helps a lot she's right. pew pew. ] So how do you become a professional gamer anyway?

You've got this! [ she has full confidence in him! ]
Aaaah, through lots of time spent and sleep lost. But it really starts as a hobby, until you discover you're really good at it. Enter a competition here and there and BOOM! You're in the e-sports scene.
[ she laughs a little ] My dad was a pro-gamer himself, so I just kinda followed in his footsteps... well minus the whole hero bizz.

So you're a hero on the side? [ pew pew zombies pew ] What's that like?
[ pew pew ] It's actually my job and has been since the end of high school. The government needed pilots and us pro gamers were perfect for the job. Which sounds pretty crazy, when you think about it, but it's worked out so far.
[ neither of them has died in game yet, proud of them. level 2! ]

Oh, so the government hired you because of games? Can't imagine the World Government doing anything like that at home.
[ oh it says level two... ]
Did we progress???
[ oh it says level two... ]

They figured we'd have the right reflexes for the job. Crazy how different everyone's worlds are.
[ she takes the the brief moment they have, to crack her knuckles. ]
We made it through the first level! Good job, Ace!!

Did you guys go through training...?
[ he's looking at the gun ]
This isn't so hard when you know how to aim, though the reloading thing took me a second. [ he just. copied her... ]

Everyday. Getting used to flying ACTUAL mechs was a bit challenging, but we got the hang of it pretty quick. Practice makes perfect.
[ gives him a thumbs up ]
Right? And you're a quick learner, so I imagine you'll just get better! [ that's fine, she doesn't mind lol ]

Wait, mechs? Like robots? You pilot robots??
[ an actual one piece rule is that all men think robots/mechs are the coolest thing ]
