1st Duel [Video]

There's a shot of the sky before the view reorients itself. Then, suddenly, there's a tanned face staring at the screen, looking surprised and annoyed all at the same time. What's strange however, is that the hairstyle looks eerily familiar, except for wild and said figure is decked out on an outfit probably more suited for a desert than his current environment. Not to mention... is that gold?

Surprisingly, though, he doesn't seem to be that out of place using the device. Probably from all that exposure to technology thanks to Yugi and the others.]


I'm fairly certain that this is not where I was supposed to be.

[ Because last he remembered, he was in Egypt, Ancient Egypt. Not... here, wherever here is.

Not to mention, if he wasn't trapped in the world of memories any longer, shouldn't- ]


And if anyone could tell me where Yugi Mutou is, it would be greatly appreciated.
ineffaceable: (third place.)

[ he knew it.

there's really just stunned silence, as he replays the video about sixteen times (much like with kisara, to ensure that it's actually real), and there's actually something of a sinking feeling, when he registers that atem looks different. not sharing a body with yuugi, certainly -- dressed like the pharaoh of ancient egypt, like he used to be (or should be?). is this another version that doesn't remember everything, like yuugi, or does he know who he is?

but the sinking feeling quickly vanishes with a rush of relief when atem asks for yuugi, because finally. something has gone right. and while seto still has a massive backlog of emotion (atem is gone, he passed on, he didn't get the opportunity to really say anything, there was no closure, he didn't say anything), it's hard not to feel some level of... contentment.

this is fine. atem is here, and seto has someone who can actually understand why seto is so absolutely beyond frustrated with the current state of affairs in genessia, and atem knows who kisara is, and why that is problematic, and --

does atem even know his own name.

shit. ]

[ when seto finally connects the feed, he looks some odd mixture between relieved (though only a little) and grossly unimpressed.

so, really, the same expression seto always has when he sees atem. ]


I need to talk to you, about Yuugi.

[ and seto pauses, because he should probably tell atem where he is, or say hello, or ask if he's alright, or something... something casual, or friendly, or -- ]

You look ridiculous.

[ nah. ]

Yugi will reply to your video when he can. These go to everyone unless you change them to private.

[It seems like a lot of people who know Yugi have been arriving and for some reason it makes Terra nervous.]

Is there any questions you have about this place?

[She assumes this is one of Yugi's friends so she wants to help. Yugi's always been very nice to her.]
ineffaceable: (yeah whatever.)

Shut up.

[ look they're getting along great ]

Stay where you are; I can track your location, and I can explain in person.

[ pause ]

Yuugi is here, and fine, along with a collective of people from our world. Bakura is here, though I'm told he isn't a psychopath. [ judging from seto's tone, he is 99% sure yuugi doesn't think anybody is a psychopath, and obviously needs to be re-educated ] Kisara is here, too.

[ though seto is just going to delicately skip over that ]

In the meantime, tell me the last thing you remember. Do not mince words.

[ are you dead. have you passed on yet. what does seto need to keep to himself, and what can he share. he won't make the same mistake he did with yuugi. ]

[ ahem ]

Time is in flux, and whether or not you're dead means nothing here.

[ he says, as he collects up his things to move ]

The last thing Yuugi remembers is DOMA. -- the end of DOMA, after Dartz fell. Don't have a meltdown, I don't have the patience for it. [ MOVING ON ] Bakura -- not the spirit, the teenager -- doesn't even remember Duelist Kingdom. Kisara remembers her own death, and obviously nothing past that. And you, it seems, are from the Memory World.

[ which is perfect, really. but better than yuugi not even making it that far. seto can work with this. ]

You know your name, then.

[ the last thing seto wants to do is detail where he is from, though he's sort of already told yuugi. still -- it's going to come out eventually, and by the end of memory world, atem knows that that is the goal. to move on. to destroy the items. to seek peace. all of that nonsense that seto should want, but selfishly doesn't.

regardless -- ]


The Sennen Items are gone.

[ that should be enough, without actually saying it, as he continues to walk ]

I have no idea whether or not Bakura has been told what happens, nor do I care. [ xoxo ] I've told Yuugi, sparingly, what happens in his future. And Kisara has been told all that she needs to know in order to understand who I am. [ with the understanding that kisara does not need to know more than that, thank you ] But there are additional problems with memory, here, along with the problem of resources.

[ seto is poor and he's furious about it thanks ]

[Dante had been buying cards from Yugi for a while now and though the interaction had been largely... well that, Dante kinda liked the kid.]

I suppose that depends on who's asking. I mean, I figure there's some kind of connection, what with the whole...

[He makes a wild gesture at his own hair.]

...but mind if I ask what that connection is?

Were you going to a costume party?

[That was the only explanation Takato could think of for why someone would be walking around dressed like that.]

Um, I think I met him here a while ago.
alwaysimpaled: (Yeah and?)

[personal profile] alwaysimpaled 2016-04-01 09:42 pm (UTC)(link)
If you say so, buddy.

[He's pretty sure there's more too it than that, but, whatever. Not his business.]

What's your name, kid?
ineffaceable: (defeated.)

[ for half a second, seto seems to almost go into detail -- there's a slight tension in his jaw, and his expression seems to be like he's going to talk more, but he stops, because: ]

I don't have any access to Kaiba Corporation, and I don't have any control over the network here, nor do I have the resources available to properly hack it to make sure no one can actually listen in. Personal questions can wait.

[ he stops again, though. ]

The rest of the story isn't particularly kind, and to tell it over a phone call isn't worthy of my respect. As difficult as our relationship has been, and is, you are owed that much.

[ seto has far too much respect (and honestly, a level of caring) for atem to tell him something so personal over something as impersonal as a communicator. besides, seto doesn't entirely trust that these things can't be hacked by the powers-that-be, and he doesn't want something like that to be spread about, especially since yuugi can be used against atem, and vice versa. ]

I'll be there in two minutes.

Yes.

[Terra's expression brightens and her cheeks tint a light rosy pink.]

He's one of my best friends. He's been teaching me how to play games. [Among other things. There are parts of their relationship that confuse Terra and she's yet to tell anyone about it specifically.]

I know a few others who said they knew Yugi arrived recently...Ryou is one.

He seemed nice. I'm sure he'll contact you before long if you're one of his friends.

[Dante raises an eyebrow. Sounds Egyptian... though that would explain some of the bling the kid was wearing. How the hell did Yugi meet this guy though?]

Name's Dante. I have a little shop in my own little gate attached to Attleton called Devil May Cry. Swing by sometime if you need anything.
