Nori fired her gun at the screen, starting the game, the heroes make their cinematic entrance and the action begins immediately. The first area was always the easiest, just a way to give the player a feel for the game, for Kyle and probably Nori though, this was just a refresher course. By the time they reached the second level, she had given him a proposition that he just couldn't refuse and his lips curled up into a devilish grin, a competitive spirit fired within him.  He wasn't sure exactly what this 'something sweet' was, but from the tone of her voice, his mind could only imagine and that served only to embolden his resolve.

[color=Gold]"Do we have a bet cowboy?"[/color]

[color=LimeGreen]"I think we do, but riddle me this first,"[/color] In quick succession he popped off three head shots in a row on a small group of zombies approaching them, [color=LimeGreen]"Is it going to suck more if I win or if you lose?"[/color]

Kyle was being a bit cheeky, but it was to keep the competitive fires in both of them going, he had a feeling she'd get amp'd up from his trash talk considering she started the challenge.  Besides, if he was going to be earning something sweet in the end, he wanted to EARN IT and the only way he was going to do that was if she was playing her best too.  The race was on for the most points and the most lives saved, out of all his gaming experience, first person shooters came to him the easiest, the added benefit of the gun's heft in his hand only served to improve his skills. Games like this required quick reaction times and a quick trigger, not too quick as that could end an innocent's life.

The two of them were able to navigate the second level fairly easily as well, the hanged man taking a decent toll on their life before they progressed onward to level 3. Things here were starting to get tricky, Kyle having to focus on the enemies, the innocents, and SO MANY FLYING AXES, WHAT THE SHIT?! Nori probably wouldn't have noticed, she'd be too distracted by the game, but a little tic had sprung out of Kyle, he had this consistent habit of being so into a game, that his mouth would hang open slightly, his jaw would pop open and close with every shot he'd made.  Sometimes people noticed, sometimes he'd get a little embarrassed about it, but right now he barely noticed it, right now there was the game and the girl.

By the time they had made it to the end of the third level and it's boss, they had reclaimed some of their lost health back from the civilians they saved.  Looking up at the score, the points were fairly close to one another, exactly what he wanted and now, he REALLY wanted to win. Unfortunately, neither of them were going to win the game as the boss thoroughly wrecked them into the ground. Sighing comfortably in their inevitable defeat he holstered the light gun back, waiting for the score board to come up.  The final tally showed they both had collected an equal amount of tokens and had the same amount of civilian casualties, when it came to the score though, Kyle came out on top.  If Kyle had to guess, the amount of flying axes he shot out of the air might have tipped the scales to his advantage, but he was damn impressed at how well Nori had played. Even more important though he just had a ton a fun with another person, it was an extremely refreshing change of pace for him.

He turned to face Nori, a smile on his face like he'd just had the time of his life, words failed him as emotion and energy took over, [color=LimeGreen]"Man that was so awesome! I did so awesome and you did so awesome! That was just... Awesome! And totally amazing dude!"[/color] He raised his hand up to high five her, lost in the feeling and completely forgetting he'd just won a bet against her.
