Yutaro chuckled at Tomoko's retort as the two of them moved out of the rain so they could talk without getting drenched. He still didn't know much about the girl other than that she was pretty damn good at Mecha Saints, but it was good to see that she had a sense of humor. "I'm just running an errand to pick up some batteries," he said, gesturing to the electronics store that they were now standing next to. "But after that I was planning on being as unproductive as possible until it's time for work. The rain just kinda... yea." Apparently it also impaired his ability explain things as well. "I must have been a fire-type in a past life or something." It was actually kind of relaxing being able to make a video game reference like that without having to worry about it going over her head. Plenty of friends and acquaintances, guys and girls alike, would just roll their eyes or think he was talking about astrology; fire-type would make him an Ares or something. But, knowing that he wouldn't have to explain what he meant or combat a weird stare made the rain seem a bit further off. 

"Say," he said, suddenly thinking of a better way to spend the day then an Netflix binge. "Since neither of us have anything to do, what do you say we kill some time at the arcade? Games are always more fun when someone's actually there playing with you anyway." He smiled, hoping she'd accept. It had been a while since he'd had some good irl competition. Playing online was fine, but you lost a bit of the human element of the game. Sure, you could talk with them over a microphone, but that was just an electronic approximation of their presence. When you stood beside someone at an arcade cabinet, you could see their actual expression, hear the tension in their breathing, feel the fighting spirit in their aura. Simply put, there was no substitute for something actually being there.
