Summary: Thorin stumbles across the Media Room on Floor Fourteen. He wants to know more about video games as Jonouchi mentioned them to him once.
Warnings: Possible angst and swearing.


It didn't take long for Thorin to enter the Media Room on Floor Fourteen. He had heard about these so called "games" from Jonouchi. The boy seemed quite versed in modern technology. Something, Thorin hadn't mastered quite yet as this was nearly his second month within the Tower.

He entered the room and noticed the soft, large chairs and the strange technology within the room. Boxes which were on the wall in front of the chair and wires of some sort. What did all of this do? He picked up a controlled for one of the games and pressed a few buttons out of interest. There was no image on the screen and wondered was it broken? Was something supposed to happen. He felt awkward and out of place. Would someone be able to guide him in working on of these machines? He sighed and felt like throwing the controller down in a rage.

Thorin nodded as he saw a familiar face. Jonouchi. So, he had come after all. The dwarf felt very out of place here. So many new things and he could not work them. It made him uncomfortable to be so vulnerable right now.

"Aye. That would be appreciated, Jonouchi. I know not in what I am doing. These contraptions seem like magic to me."

Jonouchi wasn't passing judgement, he actually thought it was pretty cool a warrior was going to play a video game. It was almost like a dream come true. The thrilled blonde eagerly began to explain.

"We'll start with the basics. You have to turn the system and TV on." He pressed both of the power buttons for Thorin to see. Two buttons wasn't hard, right?

"There should be a load screen coming up, which game is in here?" They'll find out!

[sonof_thrain]

Thorin just watched as Jonouchi did everything for him. He crossed his arms and narrowed his eyes. "A....load screen? Does that mean it is working then?" He didn't have much idea about games and felt lost. It was lucky the boy was here to aid him.

The load screen flashed before them with the consoles name, followed by the game. It looks like a fighting game, the kind beginners normally button-mashed at. "Yeah, see the opening credits! You can skip them by pressing one of the buttons. It'll bring up the menu." With a system this old, it should just have one option. "Press play when you see it."

[sonof_thrain]

Press play. Alright, he could do that, couldn't he? Thorin waited for the load screen, before pressing the button when he saw the word "play." He pressed the buttons a few more times, as the fighters appeared on the screen. He picked the one with an axe and a muscled torso.

"Once your done with that, you just pick the map you want and fight against the computer. Sometimes they're hard. This game should have a two player option!"

[sonof_thrain]

"Pick a map? I understand the concepts of using a map, so maybe I will understand this after all." Thorin nodded and used the controller to choose a map.

"It's hard at first, but once you get use to it, it's really easy." Unless you have a hard ass computer to beat, but he won't divulge that just yet.

The blonde pointed eagerly toward the screen as the count down started. "Your match is about to start!"

[sonof_thrain]

"If you say so." Thorin's eyes were yanked to the screen, as his match was about to start. He hoped that he wouldn't make a complete fool of himself in front of Jonouchi and the others within the room.
