Well, DPS just denotes a damage dealing class. Ranged DPS tend to have higher damage output but are more fragile, like glass cannons.
Close range DPS trade that damage for more bulk so they can draw aggro, but that's usually really what a tank ought to be doing. Although they can be one in the same sometimes if they spec one class as a sub class, and--
[She's gonna keep droning on about this dumb nerd shit if Sakura doesn't stop her.]
Sakura has put up with Shinji trying to explain these same terms to her so no, unfortunately, changing the subject isn't at the forefront of her mind. She's so busy trying to keep track of everything that she hardly notices when their tunnel opens up into an area with more space, almost like a platform, and on the middle track sits a train car]
--and there's a lot of discussion about whether or not subclassing is always best in some cases, because you're doing someone else's job less efficiently. Of course it depends on the game, but...huh?
[At least that shut her up. She turns her attention to the area in front of her, focusing on that instead.]
...I guess these old tunnels got some use after all. [She isn't sure how long ago that was, though...as far back as she remembers they were always closed down. Although she hasn't been here a very long time compared to people who've lived here their whole lives.] Let's go check it out.
[With no further warning, she hops off the platform onto the ground below, stepping over the closest set of tracks to move closer to the middle car.]
[She's probably lived here longer than Sakura, still new to this city after a couple of months. She didn't even realize they had a subway system until recently.
All the more reason for her to follow after Aki with the blind assumption that the other girl knows what she's doing.]
Okay!
[Hey, Sakura is here for spooky-looking train cars.]
Unless some guy from retrospec is sneaking in intermittently to restock.
[And she doubts it...then again this company is fucking weird.
Either way she moves to get a closer look at the kitchen area, passing by a lot of the older, spoiled food still sitting at each table along the way, uneaten.
But once she does, she notices...]
...you know I was joking, but...look at this.
[She hands Sakura a bag of chips. They don't look as old as the rest of the food here. The brand and flavour are even the kind of thing easily found earlier today, if either of them were around a local grocery.]
... She also feels the power of peer pressure (when Aki isn't even doing anything) and so after a light pause, reaches out to take a chip. She brings it to her nose for a quick sniff]
[YEAH NOT GONNA LIE HERE THIS WAS ALL INTENTIONAL. Sakura is totally her guinea pig...........
But it's nice to see she's neither dead nor dying and that it still tastes good. No...immediate effects at least. So she places the bag into Sakura's hands and turns back towards the cupboard she'd found it in. She doesn't really need to eat since Yato's a great source of mana, being a god and all.]
I guess there's no harm in stocking up then. Obviously we can't carry much, but something small here or there just in case...

What's a tank?

Okay!
[Hey, Sakura is here for spooky-looking train cars.]
I wonder what's inside...!
no subject
A dining car.
Aki steps up into the train car and looks around, unimpressed.]
...I bet the mould in here has mould on it. Sheesh.
no subject
There doesn't seem to be anything dangerous here. Even still, Sakura keeps close to Aki's side out of pure disgust]
I guess the food is as old as the train car...?

But then it clicks, and Sakura blinks with a soft "oooh" of understanding.]
... Maybe someone is restocking?
[Still doubtful, but that theory has suddenly gained some weight.]
Or I suppose someone came to the car before us and left them here...?
no subject
[By leaving food supplies lying around...are they gonna run into a save point next???
Still, curiosity gets the better of her, so she opens the pack.]
They look okay...you wanna try one?
no subject
No she does not want to try.

They don't even smell stale...

Might as well be the one to take the first bite. She nibbles on the edge before a delighted hum and a nod of approval]
It's still good!

except not at all, she suspects nothing]You want to take it back to the surface with us?
[MUNCH MUNCH.]
no subject
The surface? [She pauses, looking over her shoulder.] You don't want to try going deeper?
