Olga didn't really have a good reason to be at an internet cafe. She had good internet at home, and she had good internet at the University when she was there. It was all about atmosphere though! Plus it had been the closest place to grab a fru fru latte, which she was currently sipping as she surfed tumblr on the station she was at.
Tumblr wasn't becoming all that interesting though, especially compared to the increasing interesting sounds at the station right next to her's. Just from the muttering and mumbling and occasional enthusiastic jeer it actually sounded like the person was gaming. Those were unmistakable sounds after all, and being as nosy as Olga was, she just blatantly leaned and peered over the divider to see what was up.
"What are you playing?" She whispered with a grin.

Ciaran usually preferred the safety of her home, with its quiet atomsphere where she could eat obnoxiously and play her game and not worry about judgement from other people.
However, said home was currently being cleaned out by the apartment complex for mold and whatever. Basically she was in hotels for the next week while they got it figured out and hotel internet was s**t for games so....
HERE SHE WAS.
Her headset blocked out most attention others gave her as she moved the controller around, and clicked a rapid rate of keyboard and mouse. Words came out of her mouth at such a rapid rate, it was hard to even understand what she was saying.
As Olga's head popped over, Ciaran had just finished her match and stood up, pointing at the screen. "Take that you monkeys!!!" She blinked though at Olga and smiled.
"Sup." Her headset came up, "Sorry was I bothering you?" She had totally missed the girl's question though.

Ciaran blinked, and Olga blinked, and then laughed, shaking her head. "Oh, no! You didn't! You just seemed to be having a lot of fun, and it got me curious, so I wanted to see what all the fun as about!" Because she was nosy. Sergei could testify to that. Olga's head disappeared as she sat back down in her chair, and then proceeded to roll it around the wall so that she was closer to the other girl. Olga thrust her hand out to Ciaran, holding her latte in the other. "My name's Olga!" Because never not new friends.

"Oh yeah, That's good! I love games." As Olga swung around with her chair, Ciaran took the headphones off and set them off to the side. Since she was taking a break anyways, it was nice to put them away.
"Ciaran!" The blue haired girl took the hand eagerly. "Nice to meet you!" She beamed and then gestured to their setting of said meeting.
"What brings you to the pit of hell?" By pit, she meant the continous variety crowd that came through. Either for the games, the nerds, the coffee or even the food. Cyber cafes had been a lot more popular this year around.
"You here for gaming?"

"Oh wow! That's an awesome name! It's a pleasure to meet you, too!" She was meeting and knew a lot of people with cool names! So fun. "...Is this place that bad?" Her black eyes swept over the place, taking in once again the people at their various computer stations. "Oh! No!" Olga shook her head. "Just here because I wanted a latte to be honest! It was the on the way and the closest, so here I am! I'm just surfing tumblr for kicks!" She jabbed a thumb at her station, and then pointed at Ciaran's. "What game are you playing?"

"Thanks! Parents, you know, bless them for making it almost normal." She was immediately energized by the fellow bright girl.
"It could be better." She shrugged, "Internets a solid like 7 of 10 but it makes do in emergencies! Gaming isn't its forte, but not many internet cafes are unless you go to like...Japan or Korea? They have some really amazing ones there."
She blinked, "You came in for a latte? What kept you here then?" Ciaran was considerably interested, "Oh yeah, oh man you can get stuck in the tumbles." She laughed, "I was doing final fantasy XIV, trying to get my phoenix going. Er special mount. Farming primals. It's been interesting and my raid group had a sub and he was just so bad. I mean it's not often we get bad subs but this dude was bad." She blabbered on, not even stopping because she just assumed Olga would know the game terms.

Olga laughed, and raised her hand for a high-five. "I understand! I like my name, but yeah, it's a bit out there, too! My mom is a flower child free spirit, and she has my dad wrapped around her finger so he didn't question her name choices! My full name is Sol Olga Sayle!" Ciaran seemed to really know what's up. Olga just nodded her head a bit to show she was listening. "...Oh! Final Fantasy XIV! I kind of know that! I mean, I know some of the memes...like please look forward to it." The young woman nodded though as Ciaran went on, and sipped her latte as well. "Hey, sorry, I'm not keeping you from playing right now, am I?" She asked, worried.

"Aren't those like....ship things?" She waited, "You're name totally spells SOS."
She blinked.
"Wanna watch?" She gestured the girl closer and made room.
"I can explain the raid if you want? It's pretty fun and I don't mind!"

"Well---Sol and Olga aren't....my last name is a different spelling of ship's sail I'm sure, and yeah!" She laughed. "That's exactly it---my initials spell out S.O.S." At the offer, Olga's grin split her face and she clapped her free hand against the back of the one holding the latte in excitement. "I'd love to! I always do enjoy watching it happen! Especially in real time!" That being said, Olga was already starting to scoot her chair in closer to Ciaran to crowd the other girl and her laptop. "What kind of role are you playing?"

"Send help!" She teased back and then moved over. "Yeah! I don't mind sharing at all, I seem to concetrate better if I have someone watching me!" The girl brought her controller up.
"This is Sophia! She's pretty." The primal came up in soft golds and white. "here you can listen to the call outs and stuff, hey guys-" She spoke to the mic now, "I got a friend watching, so Imma let her listen to you guys and stuff." She passed over a ear bud to the girl and then rolled her neck.
"I'm the healer at the moment!" She pointed to the green icon of her Scholar. There was another for the Astrologion, Two warriors, a ninja, a bard, a dragoon and a samurai.
"Red means DPS, those are the heavy hitting damagers. Blue is tanks, they kind of take the beatings for us." She nodded, "See that?" The warriors hp tanked fast and she healed quickly. "Sophia casted a tank buster. That means Tanks have to have cooldowns."

"Oooh---" Olga took the earbud and cradled it for a moment before placing it to her ear. Immediately it was filled with the chatter of the other players, indeed doing what Ciaran had said. Making the calls. It was so much fun to hear and to see! It made her kind of wish she had been able to get into gaming...but she really just didn't have the time between school and patrolling. The young woman nodded her head as the other pointed out things and informed, and she gasped as the tank HP suddenly dropped, only for it to shoot back up. "Oh, wow! Look at you go!" She grinned at Ciaran. "That's awesome healing! And I love seeing all the star effects! So cool!" Olga paused as she listened to some more banter. "...Why is the tank asking for a Balance?" She blinked. "What's that?"

"Star effects are the best." She said just as earthly star, her favorite move went off, surrounding everyone in a bubble of stars and constellations. She was moving fast to click the buttons.
At Olga's question, the blue haired girl threw her head back and laughed.
"A tank asking for balance, HAH!" She quickly sorted through her card rotation and threw an arrow on him instead. Just to troll.
"Balance is a card that AST can pull!" Ciaran worked through another rotation and pointed, "See that orange card there! It gives a boost to DPS. More damage!" She waited one more time, "There we go! A rounder!" She said and as she laid the card down, the red/orange symbol appeared on the whole party.

As Ciaran explained, Olga laughed, then. It was definitely funny once you knew why! "Oh, I see! The tank was teasing and wanted to do more DPS huh?" She grinned, looking at the young woman and then looking back at the laptop. She fell silent for a few minutes, just watching, utterly fascinated, and listening. "Oh, wow! I love how the head disappears and then reappears to attack! That's so tricksy!" Olga then gasped. "Woah! The platform tilts!? Oh---OH NO! Some people went over the edge!"

Ciaran's fingers started rapidly moving with the controller, as mechanic after mechanic started happening.
"Raising!" She moved close to Olga, sharing the Mic so she could let her team know. She had done the fight so much, she knew where the meteors were happening.
"Hold on there cutie." She typed quickly and then started sending out the AOE heals.

Olga grew silent as she became absorbed with just watching this very interesting fight. Between listening and the visuals it was so cool! Her head even started to tilt to mirror what was happening on screen. Man. She could see how people sunk hours into this, and they were farming this? Which meant they were doing it over and over. "You haven't gotten sick of this battle yet, have you?" She asked Ciaran with a bit of a laugh.
