Bolin looked to Nanami as she seemed to blink her way out of some coma, he could of swore she was falling asleep on him but that must of been his imagination. The stocky teenager gave a cheeky grin to the short little gaming creature. Bolin was happy that he at least got to see a pro in action before he even attempted.

Bolin scratched his cheek as she spoke and mumbled out, “W-well if you think so…” 

Bo walked up to the machine but kept his eye on Nanami who still seemed on the verge of sleeping. He winked at her and deposited his money into the machine. After taking a few brief moments to pick out a fighter that looked as close to him as possible he managed to understand at least which button made him move.

“FIGHT” The game yelled at him.

Bolin took several moments to figure out even how to punch. As far as he could tell he was winning for a few moments. The wide shouldered kid made alot of his own grunting and sound effects as he fought against the little pixelated enemy. He grinned as he got in a nice uppercut, but his jaw nearly dropped as his opponent managed to shoot some type of energy blast at him finishing him in one shot.

“D-Damnit!” Bolin said a little annoyed at losing. He sighed but smiled looking over to his new friend. “I guess even a video game can get me worked up” He said rubbing the back of his head.

[entercheats-blog]

She hoped that he didn't think she was falling asleep because of him - oh, goodness no. She didn't want to lose the first friend that she made here, therefore, she tried her hardest to stay awake, even if she yawned every now and then, and blinked dozily. She turned her attention towards the video game screen, watching as the martial artist now took his turn at playing the game. At least that would keep her awake until they departed.

Once the game had spoken and he began to fight, a small grin came upon the girl's lips, amused at his novicehood. Whilst she, by no means, was one to brag about her ability, seeing beginners in the gaming universe was cute. It almost was like seeing a toddler take their first steps, and akin to that prideful moment, Nanami seemed proud of Bolin playing his first game.

The smile left for a moment, however, as his opponent had defeated him; the expression on her face was one of shock, and she watched as he now flew into a fit of frustration, flinching visibly, but soon settled once she saw him smile again. She outstretched her hand and placed it on his shoulder, patting him comfortably.

"It's alright, Bolin-kun. It's your first time playing, after all..." she murmured softly, a faint laugh leaving her lips. "I didn't become as skilled as I am overnight, so I understand your annoyance in losing..." She then turned to the game screen once again, analysing what she remembered of her friend's opponent to come up with a strategy.

"There's a brief moment of opportunity in order to escape his blast. Look for that, and you'll be sure to defeat him. You should watch him for any habits or gestures, because that's when you'll know what attack he's planning next and when to dodge. Please try again, I believe you can do it this time."

Maka smiled and nodded. “Alright then. What kind of soda would you like? We’ve got the usual Sprite, Coke, or it could be Pepsi actually..” She trailed off and glanced back toward the kitchen. She had lost track of what sodas were back there. For all she knew, they could have switched companies. But that didn’t matter. “There’s no need to be so formal, either. You can just call me Maka.” She chuckled, preparing a sheet on her notepad for the girl’s order. “If you’d just like something with a bit of caffeine, I’ll see what we’ve got.” She smiled.

She paused then snapped her fingers. “Also, the fruit pastries here are really good. They’re good for snacks, if you aren’t really looking to eat much.” She added. They were some her favorites. Especially the ones with strawberry filling. “I can’t believe I forgot to mention that a moment ago. My brain must still be studying or something.” She smiled apologetically. “But yeah, I’d honestly recommend just about everything on the menu, but you have plenty to choose from.”

[entercheats-blog]

Which had the most caffeine in it? Though most of her attention was focused on the games she played, it was good to have a rush of adrenaline to ensure that she was wide-awake during her all-nighters. After a moment of though, she turned back towards the female, replying with, "Mm... I'll take a Coke."

As the other had mentioned how she could address her casually, it brought a small smile onto the gamer's lips. Perhaps befriending others wasn't as difficult a task as she thought it was. After all, she had the friendly, inviting personality - it was just her awkward social skills. Ah, well, no one seemed to mind much anyway.

"You can call me Nanami then, Maka." Whilst Nanami was her surname, it seemed to roll off the tongue better than her forename, Chiaki. Therefore, she always went by it, almost as if she switched her two names around. "It's nice to meet you. Well, outside of school, anyway..." She hadn't really talked to the female in or out of school, but at least she was trying to change that now.

"I'm not really looking for much to eat, as you've said, so... I'll just really take the Coke and, um, one of the fruit pastries you mentioned. A strawberry one." She, too, had a fondness for strawberries - it sounded good anyway. As for her apology, it prompted a laugh from the usually quiet female, and she brushed it aside. "It's fine, it's fine. Mm, actually, I didn't know you worked here... Granted, I haven't talked to you at school but... Is it hard managing both schoolwork and a job...?"

[In a usual weekend, Keima would have spent all day and night playing games holed up in his room without a care about the world. However, his mother managed to strike a deal with him and sent him to deliver an order to a special client on the neighboring town. Since she was basically the one paying for everything Keima needed on games, she threatened to stop giving him money to buy games if he couldn’t help with at least that and so Keima reluctantly agreed to make the delivery.

Still, he wouldn’t go outside without something to entertain himself with and so he took his PFPs with him. He had developed the skill to maneuver between people and places without taking his eyes off his game screen so reaching the train station was a breeze. He took a sit besides an apparently sleeping girl but he payed no mind since the train wasn’t even announced to be arriving yet and continued pressing buttons on his portable console as he was near to clear a route on this game.]

[The sound of the buttons being pressed was the only thing that could be heard since he was wearing headphones as he played to eliminate the noise from the area to make him unable to enjoy the game to the fullest.]

[entercheats-blog]

Nanami just-so-happened to be a light sleeper - a fortunate trait, considering how she managed to fall asleep anywhere and anytime, really. The light sound of buttons being pressed was just enough to stir her from her short-lived nap and she arose, blinking groggily, only to find that there was someone else sitting next to her.

Not just any someone but another gamer like her. Another gamer. The very thought brought a tiny smile onto the female's lips. While the fact that there was at least that mutual interest was comforting, she still couldn't bring herself to spark a conversation. She wasn't shy by no means, no, but she wasn't skilled in socialising.

She inhaled then exhaled, beginning to prepare her words. A simple question as to what he was playing, along with a greeting, would suffice, wouldn't it? She hoped so, anyway. Spending an inordinate amount of time locked away in her room didn't give her much room to make friends, and well, the two could probably hang out at each other's homes or maybe the arcade in the local cinema.

She tapped him on the shoulder lightly as to gain his attention and then spoke in her usual hushed tone.

"Um, excuse me... What are you playing...?"

10. Do you think that you should become friends with someone before dating them?

"Definitely. Blindly dating someone is sure to fail-- ...Not that I really know much about relationships in the first place..."

If she wasn’t mistaken, Maka recognized the other girl from school. It was pretty common to run into other students here. The café was a pretty popular start. She was surprised to hear this was the first the girl had been here. That was unusual, but no matter. Maka smiled and shifted slightly. “Well, here. Let’s get you a seat.” She stepped out from behind the counter, menu in hand.

She led her over to an empty table and set the menu down. “You can look through this and see if there’s anything you like.” She added, a smile still on her face. She fell silent, tapping her chin at the girl’s request. “Well, I’d recommend just about everything here, haha. It’s all good. My favorite would probably be the chocolate cake, or the strawberry shortcake. The cheesecake is delicious too.” Ah, her mouth was watering just thinking of it.

“Oh, but there’s also regular food, like sandwiches or wraps if you’d like to eat something with substance before loading up on sweets.” She chuckled, brushing a strand of hair out of her eyes. “Why don’t I get you something to drink while you decide?”

[entercheats-blog]

Nanami followed the other silently to the empty seat, sitting down and then taking the menu given to her. She opened it and began to read, keeping an eye out for any desserts that appealed to her; all the same, however, she listened to the female as she began to speak about what the café held, soon returning her attention towards the other.

As far as desserts went, the strawberry shortcake seemed the most appealing out of her recommendations. It was simple enough, and she did have a fondness for strawberries. Though, as the other had advised, it would be best to eat something with substance before indulging in sweets. A wrap would be best, wouldn't it...? Her initial plan was to socialise and make a new friend, so she didn't really want much to eat.

She did decide to take up the other on her offer for a drink while she was gathering her thoughts and settling on what to eat. Voice in its usual hushed tone, she answered the other's question, a small smile on her lips.

"Um, I'd like a soda then... Thank you, miss."

School was eventful as always. She was pretty sure Black Star had started another fight, and would be stuck in detention most likely. But it was nice to have someone to walk home with. Casual conversation, a little bit of bickering…No matter how frustrated she got, it was nice to have someone around. She felt like she was finally settling into a normal routine. She headed home, dropping off her school things. There was no need to bring it with her. She’d already finished most, if not all, of her homework.

The only thing she brought with her was her book. She gave a quick warning to her roommate, telling him she was heading to work and would be back in a bit. Two hours at least. It wasn’t like she was working the late shift, thank goodness. Her boss usually made sure to send her home before dark. She was grateful for that, even though she was perfectly capable of defending herself.

She preferred to change at home, that way she didn’t waste any time in getting to work. She slid her keys into one of the pockets of her apron before she headed out the door. The walk to the café wasn’t very long at all. That was the main reason she’d chosen to work there. She slipped in the door and hurried behind the counter, setting her book aside.

Her normal routine was switching between the register and taking orders. Nothing too complicated, but she liked making a little extra in tips. She prided herself on being a good waitress. But it didn’t seem like it was going to be very busy today. “Mn..” She sat down behind the register and opened her book, resuming from the last line she’d read.

She wasn’t sure how much time had passed, but the opening of the door drew her attention from her book. She placed her bookmark in and stood, a bright smile on her face. “Welcome to Bartley’s! Can I help you with anything?” She asked, already grabbing a menu and locating an empty seat.

[entercheats-blog]

She was usually not one to visit places after school, normally following her routine of 'coming-and-going' bar the occasional visits to the cinema's arcade. Leaving her friends from the island she once lived on had only motivated her to make new friends not only here in Newstark but Rosedale too. Therefore, she decided to visit one of the many places she had never stepped foot in before - Bartley's Café.

Passing through the doorway, she now knew that this would be the golden opportunity for befriending someone, as long as she did not mess it up. Pink eyes soon caught sight of what she believed to be the waitress here then looked around to see that the place was empty, save the two of them.

Before she even had a chance to evaluate her situation, already was the female beginning to speak to her, welcoming her with a cheery voice. It startled her for a second but she began to walk towards the register, forming her words in her mind before speaking.

"...Um, hello, this is my first time being here..."

She hadn't any idea as to what was on the menu, goodness. Naturally, it being a cafe meant that it contained sweets, but for what she craved in particular, she had no idea. Her gaze now moved from the other to the display below, passing over the treats as if to get a general idea of what she wished to order.

"I suppose telling me your recommendations first would be helpful..."

There was only so much one knew of the outside world when they spent most of their time inside the comforts of their own home. For her to spend all her time inside without socialising with others was certainly something her father would not have wanted, she knew. The very thought compelled the female to leave all game consoles at home and to go outside for once, perhaps to the neighbouring town, Rosedale.

To stay inside Newstark, the technology-centric city, would only lead her further into her temptation to stay at home. Therefore, visiting the other town seemed to be a pleasant decision; its traditional and quiet lifestyle would be a relaxing break from the busyness in the modern city, not to mention, she had never visited once since moving to Newstark.

As quick as she had formulated the idea was as quick as she was to reach Verity Train Station, and she now found herself sitting on the bench, waiting for the train to arrive so she could board. Her usual sense of sleepiness was now coming upon her and she yawned, beginning to close her eyes. She could take a quick nap before the train came, couldn't she...?

Before she could answer her question, she drifted off to sleep, head tilted against the bench and a light breathing sound passing her lips.

Bolin smiled at the cute girl blushing in front of him, Pabu seemed to just be enjoying his new female perch as he began purring and cooing in his sleep. He was glad that he had met her today. He had been making friends slowly now that he was on his own in Rosedale but it was always nice to make friends with people around his own age. Befriending your boss was only so pleasant. 

Bolin watched as the colors and lights lit up on the screen. Sure he had seen this as he inspected the arcade looking for a game to play but it was different to see someone else play it up close. Nanami seemed so focused it was as though she had forgotten he was even there. Still it didn’t keep him from smiling and cheering her on.

“Oh look out! Get him! Nice punch! Holy crap you knocked him out in like… 10 seconds!?” Bolin’s face was a mixture of excitement, fear, and anguish pains from imagining the attacks were landing on him personally. “T-That was amazing!”

Pabu was just chirping now, annoyed and excited by all the noise going around him. He nuzzled up against Nanami’s neck and cooed. Pabu was clueless to what was going on but Bolin couldn’t take his eyes off the screen for even a moment.

[entercheats-blog]

The instant that the 'you win!' screen appeared did the young gamer snap out of her reverie, eyes now blinking as she turned to face the male. She seemed drowsy at first, as within her nature, but then let a small smile come upon her lips. Video games were quite tiring but she enjoyed them all the same. She only hoped that she didn't fall asleep on her new friend - that would be bad! - and could at least stay awake until the two departed ways.

That was the downside of her personality. Her sleep schedule was off-balance due to the numerous video games she played, day in and day out, night after night; the only time she ever slept was during the day, in all honesty. As to when she would was unbeknownst to her - all she could do was try and fight it off for as long as she could until she succumbed to it.

The smile didn't leave her lips, however, she began rubbing her eyes lightly, trying to suppress a yawn. As if flustered by her actions, she then moved to address his words (what she at least heard of them) regarding her gameplay.

"Thank you, Bolin-kun. Mm, it's your turn to play now, yes...? The controls are really simple, so I bet you can win too...!"

Bolin chuckled as she handed Pabu over to him. He chirped slightly at the irritatoin from being transferred to the soft and warm arms of Nanami into Bolin’s big and tough ones. He smiled and set Pabu on her shoulder, Pabu quickly wrapped his body around her neck and chirped, purring slightly as he comfortably laid there.

Bolin shrugged, “What can I say he has taking a shining to you!”

Bo smiled as he nudged her forward to the game a little more, “Yes Yes! You were so eager before I wanna see you kick some virtual butt!” He laughed with excitement he hadn’t had in quite awhile. Sure he wanted to play badly but he wanted to see how someone who was use to playing video games played. He had already told her he had no Idea what he was doing so a demonstration wasn’t so bad right?

“Ah, but I’ll need change first…”

Bolin laughed and smacked his forehead a bit, “I suppose that’s how we got into this prediciment in the first place right? No matter I have plenty of change… Although it will be sad to watch this change disappear. Its the change that got us to be friends right?!”

He smiled gently at her and placed enough to fill her hand, while he could of gave her more, her slender hands were no where near the size of his.

“Though I suppose by using this change we will be making our first memory as friends… right?” He gave a playful wink and Pabu chirped in agreement. It was good to make friends.

[entercheats-blog]

The male's words caused the gamer to blink in partial surprise as he now seemed enthusiastic to watch her play. She had no problem with playing, for such was her forte, but she still had that internal conflict with herself about giving the controls to him or to do as he instructed. She found herself staring blankly at the screen, not paying any mind to the flashing colours and movements, before finally deciding to do so. She would just play one round to give him an idea of what to do before he played for himself. There was no harm in doing so, was there?

Soon after, however, she found himself giggling at his blunder... only to silence herself as he made mention to the change being a memento. It was the change that had caused them to become friends, yes, which only made her introspective plight worse. Eyebrows knitted together as a troubled expression now came upon her features, eyes fixed on the change he was now pouring into her hand.

She stayed like that for a while until he had spoken again, now causing her to brighten up. It would be their first memory as friends, so spending it didn't seem as bad an idea as it did prior. A smile came across her lips as she nodded accordingly to his words, yet another faint flush spreading across her cheeks at the wink.

"Y-yes, you're right, Bolin-kun! Alright, here I go...!"

She crouched down in front of the game, inserting the proper amount of change to activate it. Once doing so, she stood upright again, put her hands back into position, and pressed the start button. After selecting the character she wished to play as, she began to engage in the game's combat; her hands worked simultaneously, resulting in various moves: dashes, punches, kicks, even a few combos. She seemed truly concentrated on the game right now, oblivious to the world outside the screen.
