Lonnie mindlessly tapped the buttons on the loud street fighter game. Her mind unconsciously traveling back to Sam we used to play this game together all the time at the quickie stop... "No. No. No. DAMMIT!" Lonnie cursed to herself, half at the game, half at the fact that she was thinking of Sam. This place was supposed to help her move past Sam but all she has done so far is play street fighter and cry alone in her empty apartment. She tapped the buttons furiously, hoping to achieve a combo so that she could win the match but at the last second her hand slipped and it cost her the game "Shit!" she shouted and kicked the bottom of the machine with her foot "Rookie movie L, rookie move."

Esmeralda was amazed by all of the flashing lights and technology in this place, she'd never seen anything like it. When she heard cursing she turned around and saw the pretty young woman who had shouted out. Esmeralda gave her a quick once-over and liked what she saw. She slowly approached the young woman, trying not to startle her, "Are you alright, miss?"

Lonnie spun around on the heels of her converse and saw an oddly dressed woman standing before her. She was beautiful, to say the least, but her clothing showed that they were from two different worlds, like, literally. Lonnie wore a black tank top with "Girl-scouts" painted on it in white (a tribute to her old band), ripped up pale blue jeans and converse. Not to mention her obviously died bright red hair. "Uh.. yea I am good" she said stuffing her hands into her pockets "I just... I got a little worked up over the game" she laughed awkwardly and gestured to the machine behind her "I um..." she started, but then stopped herself "so.. like, where are you from? You look strange- Your clothes! I mean, your clothes. Not you, you look great... wait... Sorry that came out wrong" she said, her face getting red.

Esmeralda smiled, "It's alright, I suppose I do look a bit strange," her torn purple skirt had certainly seen better days, and her white and green shirt was faded as well. The pink ribbon holding back her thick mane of hair still looked alright the last she'd checked it though. "I'm from Paris, France, though, and you?" Esmeralda was constantly amazed at how many women wore trousers in this world.

"I am from uh... Nevada.. um, in the United States" she said cautiously, highly doubting the girl would know where Nevada was.. she seemed so... old. Like, not her looks or anything just in the way she carried herself and her outfit. She looked like she could be from the renascence era.. maybe even before. This interested Lonnie. Most of the people here looked like they were from times way before her, but this girl seemed different somehow. Different is good. "I am Lonnie... what's your name?" she asked, still feeling awkward. This is the first time she has talked to anyone in... wow. It had been so long that she didn't even remember anymore.

Esmeralda smiled at hearing yet another place she couldn't recognize, "I'm Esmeralda." Esmeralda looked around the arcade and laughed, "What even is this place? What does it do?" Maybe Esmeralda could get Lonnie to loosen up around something she appeared to be comfortable with. She walked up to a machine and pressed a button out of curiosity. She jumped a bit in surprise when it lit up.

Lonnie watched as the girl fiddled with the game machine and she quickly walked over to the machine and said "Oh! This is street fighter! Totally the best game ever, WAY under rated." She pressed one of the menu buttons and a list of character popped up on the screen "basically, it is a game" she started to explain as simply as she could "you play one of these characters and you fight your opponent. Whoever wins gets to move on to the next match. Kinda like gladiators, but without actually hurting anyone" She went on to explain what each button did and why it was important, jabbering away about every little piece of the game.

Esmeralda didn't understand much of what Lonnie said, but she tried to remember as much as she could, "Why don't you play a game and I'll watch what you do? Can others play it with you?"

"Alright!" Lonnie said "and yea they can... maybe if I teach you the basics you might like to play. It is a pretty fun way to kill time" she said, grinning.

Esmeralda examined the device, before getting a fun idea, putting on her most innocent smile she asked, "Actually, I wonder if I might learn faster through a slightly more hands-on method." She stood in front of the machine and looked back at Lonnie, "If you wrap your arms around me you can show me what to do with my hands, right?"

Lonnie's face became hot suddenly (she was sure her that her face had turned bright red and, given her red hair, she probably looked something like a tomato.) "Umm" she said, stumbling over her words, thrown off by Esmeralda's bluntness "S-sure I'll just.." she draped herself carefully over the curvy girl's small body and rested her hands as gently as she could on hers, trying not to be too awkward. "F-First, you will want to put your hand here" she said, picking up the girls hand in her own and moving it over to the button on the other side of the machine. "This button will start the game... it is a very fast paced game but I will try to take it easy on you" she said, grinning slightly and relaxing her tense muscles.

Esmeralda grinned as she felt Lonnie relax against her. "Oh, you don't have to worry too much about being gentle, sometimes I like it fast and rough." She gently rested against the woman behind her while pretending like she was focusing on the controls, "Now remind me, what does this button do again?" She asked as she pointed towards a button further up on the machine. If Lonnie were to reach out to it and show her, she'd have to press that much closer to Esmeralda.

Lonnie's face was burning hot by this time. She had never been flirted with so blatantly (people back home weren't exactly... accepting of 'her kind')She mindlessly reached over and pressed the button of which Esmeralda was referring to, her chest pressing up against the woman's back "This is the charac..." she trailed off, suddenly very aware of her own body "the uh.. character selection button... it also doubles as an attack button..." she said softly, her arm gently touching Esmeralda's, just enough to cause a sort of electricity between their skin.

Esmeralda hummed lightly in acknowledgment. While remaining pressed against Lonnie's chest, she dropped her voice a pitch and increased the contact between their arms, "I think I like this game." Deliberately being vague as to which game she was referring to she continued, "The feel of it is so smooth and the visuals are nice too." She was frankly a bit proud of herself for remembering some of Lonnie's terminology.

Lonnie glanced over at the tan skinned girl. Her lips were curled into a suggestive smile and her piercing green eyes were looking directly ahead. Seeing her this way, just her face, Lonnie realized just how stunning this girl was. Like, model stunning. Like, holy-shit-I-am-actually-touching-this-girl stunning. Suddenly Lonnie was aware that this was just what she was looking for. A beautiful girl, a new town, a new life. Nothing was stopping her from flirting back and that was just what she was going to (try) to do. Lonnie rested her hand back on top of Esmeralda's, still pressing her chest onto her back "I agree" she smiled "there is a reason this is my favorite game... the gameplay is smooth and the graphics are... incredible" she said, lingering on the word 'incredible'
