"I think we do, but riddle me this first," Kyle started, cheesy 90's style, pixelated gore flying everywhere as he took the heads off of three uglies. "Is it going to suck more if I win or if you lose?"
"You're awful cocky," Nori pointed out, lips twitching up into a small smile as she saved one of the scientists from being eaten alive. "But the real question is, do you have the skills to back it up? Because I was born with an arcade pistol in my hand!"

The score was basically tied by the time they finished the third level, with Kyle in the lead by just a few points, but Nori didn't like those odds. Not at all. She needed to win and she wasn't above playing dirty to do it.
It was time to call upon the power of the twins.
"It's a little warm in here," Nori complained, making a big show of fanning herself while giving Kyle the side eye. He seemed thoroughly absorbed in the between level cutscene, but the blonde was pretty sure she would have his attention in a second. "I'm just going to take off my sweater," Nori hummed innocently, peeling her sweater over her head to reveal the flimsy white tank top underneath. "That's sooo much better," the florist sighed in an over the top sort of way, making a big show of stretching her arms over her head and pushing her chest out a little more than strictly necessary, because, you know, reasons.
'Lets see him focus now,' the blonde thought gleefully, golden eyes darting over to find...
...Kyle still completely enraptured in the cutscene.
'Oh,' Nori thought, glancing down at her chest and frowning. The DJ didn't have the biggest game in town, true, but that plan typically had a 100% success rate, and now that it had failed she wasn't sure how to proceed.
'You let me down, ladies,' she thought sadly, shaking her head and picking up her gun right as the level started.
In the end they both ran out of tokens and had the same number of casualties, so Kyle's higher score put him out a head. "Man that was so awesome! I did so awesome, you did so awesome! That was just... Awesome! And totally amazing, dude!" The American exclaimed, holding his hand up for a high five. Nori accepted it with a smile because he really had earned it with all those head shots. She was pretty sure the other youth had been a sniper in his previous life.
"It was fun. You can be my player 2 any time," Nori answered with a wink. The tattooed girl bent down to pick up her purse and fished through it for a moment, before pulling out a snickers bar. "Your prize," she explained, smiling so hard one of her dimples started to peek out. Nori took his hand in hers and placed the candy bar in it, taking her other hand and guiding his fingers so they closed around it. "Something sweet," she explained playfully as she rocked up onto her tip toes and gave Kyle a quick peck on the cheek.
