duel 7. ( video. )

[puzzlingly]

「Atem hasn't made a network post ever since he was still wearing that strange golden eye, which, is long gone by now, so, there he is, with an important question, for him, at least.」

Ever since I got here I've heard people asking, what do people do here for fun? I was one of those people too, and honestly, the answers were lacking, they still are. Maybe we should change that.

As some of you know there is a casino on the second floor of the Speakeasy, and while gambling can pretty fun, it might not be for everyone. I wish to add all sort of games that everyone can enjoy. So, please, tell me about the games you know, the ones from your homes, what did you use to play for fun? Henry, I'm sorry, we cannot fit a jousting competition in there, 「Sorry dude, 」 but I will try my best to bring something else.

I know there are more pressing matters at hand, but there always are, there always will be something else, and this is what some of us might need right now, a different let-out that's not just fighting, maybe just for relaxation, for fun, for the excitement of the competition, or even to make new friends over a game you enjoy. There is no better feeling than it.

「Kaiba, he's looking at you, not every damn game has to end on someone dying.」

Ah-- there used to be poker nights too, we might as well bring back that tradition, 「Hats off to you, Firo, wherever you are.」 and, if you can beat me at it, you might get a prize. Actually... 「He smirks, smugly.」 if any of you can beat me at a game of your choosing, you may get a little something.

「You are not getting a damn thing, he's the bloody King of Games, bitches.」

Don't forget the Welcome Dance Night at the Speakeasy, we are eager to see you there.

「He adds with a warm smile, and the feed ends.」

[The video starts with Kiran looking down into the camera, his face taking up most of the frame. There's a film of sweat on his forehead from the heat - or maybe from exercise, since he seems slightly out of breath.]

Hey. My name is Kiran. Welcome to the new people. Enjoy your stay. Or don't. Lemme know if you need a roommate, I guess, but only if you're not a pain in the ass.

Anyway -

[The camera suddenly jerks with movement, spinning away from Kiran's face until it points out at his surroundings. He's standing at the edge of the city, with the desert sprawling out in front of him, seemingly unending.

And... there's a monster. It's standing on the sand, glaring and growling at Kiran, preparing to charge him. But when Kiran speaks again, he's stifling a laugh.]

I think the barrier's back. Check it out - it's freaking hilarious.

[Before he's finished his sentence, the monster screeches and charges straight at him. With a startled and nervous laugh, he stumbles backwards, but the camera is steady enough to catch the monster crashing head-first into the invisible barrier surrounding the city again. It's like watching a dog ram into a glass door... except the dog is, uh, very large. And it's trying to commit murder.

As soon as it crashes not-majestically into the barrier, Kiran erupts into unabashed giggling.]

It's been doing this for the past fifteen minutes! [the sound of him slapping his knee or maybe his face can be heard in the background among his laughs. The monster stumbles around, dazed.]

After dealing with these things for weeks, it's just... oh my God, guys. Somebody bring me some popcorn.

[pocketspa]

[The camera opens up on two near identical elves, sitting shoulder to shoulder. If the denizens of Hadriel remember their last address on the network, this one seems rather tame in comparison (possibly because one of them isn’t a skeleton this time), but they’re still grinning wide. Then again, the last one didn’t start with absolute chaos either. The both of them slide their eyes towards each other, and then in tandem flip some bangs from their faces, grinning directly at the screen.]

Helloooo, Hadriel!

[That can’t be the start of anything good.]

You’re on with the twins, and today, we’re here to grace you with our expertise.

So as the most attractive people in the city, we get asked, uh, pretty much all the time to help out with people’s looks.

Most of y’all are basically hopeless, but we’re givers.

And because we’re, uh, basically the most generous people ever, today we’ve got a special event for the masses.

[Their eyes flick to each other once again before they both ring out in a singsong tone,]

SMASH OR PASS!

[Did that shatter someone’s device speakers? Probably.]

Rules are real simple. You comment. We rate. One to ten.

Couldn’t be easier. You clowns are real lucky to have us. You can come get your assigned hotness level and never have to wonder where you stand in the world ever again.

Also, scores are final. Unless you do some real good sucking up.

Ew, Taako. This is a family friendly broadcast. Keep it PG.

Not that kind, jeez. Sounds like you’re the one who’s thinkin’ about it.

Nope, nope, nope. Double yuck. Not even going there. Anyway, like, comment, and subscribe--

-- If you wanna see more primo twins content from the best duo in Hadriel.

[They both throw up peace signs, Taako sticking his tongue out to really cheese it, and the feed cuts.]

[ooc: Taako is blue, Lup is red, both of them are purple! Specify if you want one or the other because the default is both with a three-way thread! Also, please never think it's too late or too full to tag this. Please get in on the bullshit.]
