I can't say that I do. These are unfamiliar to me-- though if you don't mind showing me how, I can certainly try.
[he's just over here because they're very noticeable, honestly, but he doesn't miss the way taka cheers up slightly at them. teach local grandpa how to game, y/n]
[give him a second because considering his size and all the fabric involved in that outfit, he probably has to kind of squeeze in and arrange his sleeves again while he gets settled. he is absolutely not dressed for this.]
--there we are. I take it this is what I'll need to use?
[there's a little lever of some sort that he assumes must be it? okay. pedal located. the wheel obviously turns, and the lever is for speed, he's got it.
yeah this is probably not going to be fine, but still.]
This seems simple enough so far. Will I need anything else?
and he's going to continue to be, since he was already so far behind. on the plus side, he improves a bit more along the way, learning how not to crash directly into things-- though he still kinda sucks at turning quickly and doesn't quite get around to really stepping on the gas.
even so, he looks satisfied at the end of that first race.]

... and he also seems a tiny bit more cheerful that it's the games they're headed to. just a bit. ]
You play?

[ he walks to a racing game, the kind that has a steering wheel and everything. ]
Sit here.

[gesturing at the wheel, there.]

[ he starts to press the buttons to begin the round ]
no subject
[he prepares himself, watching the screen, and when the round begins, off go all the cars--
except for ishi's. he drives slowly away from the starting line... and promptly overcorrects the wheel to drive right into an obstacle.]
-ah. This is... a bit harder than I expected.

oh my god ]
You have to go faster!
no subject
[apparently, yes, because he does increase his speed
and promptly crashes again]
no subject
[ it's his first try ]
no subject
[it's HARD when he's getting YELLED AT BY A TEEN
but when the game plonks his car back on the road, he thankfully has figured out how to steer better.
he has not figured out how to race and is just kind of driving along, still overcorrecting the wheel but no longer just running right into things.]

[ i'm sorry ishi you're not doing enough in his eyes ]
no subject
[it's about then that one of the cars from the first lap catches up, bumping into his and nearly pushing it off the track.]
-I see. So this is like a battle with vehicles, is it?
[now it all makes sense. following the track presents some extra difficulty, but at least now he gets that it's actually, you know, a race.
all hope of catching up is still pretty lost by now, but that gets him to focus more.]
no subject
[ taka why did you not tell him it's a race you fucking moron
but he points to where on the screen it tells you your current position ]

That was... surprisingly interesting, actually.
[once he figured out how it worked, thanks taka]
Shall we try again?
no subject
[ taka is now highly energetic because he refuses for his student (ishi is his student now) to be bad at video games
he goes to start another game. ]
