duel 9. video

[puzzlingly]

「There is this guy, finally showing his face on the network after like a month or so of chilling at Hope's temple. He smiles widely at the camera.」

Hey... What did I miss?

「How long has it even been...? Please don't say 3,000 years...」

Um, thanks for the umbrellas, by the way... to whoever did that. 「He pans the camera to the umbrella fort that someone made around him, it's got the most stylish umbrellas~

He manages to get out of there and then his face lights up like if it was Christmas Day.」

... Kaiba, guess what?! They are here! The Duel Disk pieces! You can finally put it together and stop being so moody! Thanks, Hope!

「He shows them to the camera as well, a bunch of electronic little pieces scattered here and there on Hope's altar, he picks up one gently and examines it, yep, he has no idea what it does. Any other day he would have just skipped this and go look for his friend privately, but this is way too cool to let it pass! Everyone has to know! Specially the moody part.」

Come on, come help me carry these so we can have that duel!


( ooc: coming out of meditative state will make this guy extra emotional to absolutely everything and might explode at the most stupid things, this will last a couple of days. take this is a blanket apology <3 )

「Until they explode.」

It will be.

[hot_mes]

if you say so

but if you want a break I'm hoarding a sailboat

[puzzlingly]

... I think I got enough of a break already, don't you think?

[hot_mes]

not what I meant but suit yourself

[puzzlingly]

What did you mean, then?

[hot_mes]

do

you

want

to

sail

[look at him, trying to not be coy]

1/2

[puzzlingly]

「Law, what--!」

[puzzlingly]

「Does he want to to sail? Does he?」

Yeah! I-I'd love to!

「He'd love to.」

[hot_mes]

[nerd. of course he missed this]

you don't have a means to get from one island to the other, do you?

[puzzlingly]

No. I made this deal just the day we moved... I was lucky everything I needed was here.

「The temple, the right Kaiba, etc., etc..」

... How is it?

[hot_mes]

then I'll have to come get you.

[better to teleport than to sail, it's faster. he keeps one ship tied up in a place only he can reach.]

decent

[puzzlingly]

Why, where are you?

Have you been fishing out there?

[hot_mes]

clinic at the moment, but the boat is behind the south island

yeah the fishing is better than the desert but still a lot of work

[puzzlingly]

Is there a map anywhere with what is where?

「It's been a month, surely there was one or something, he's clueless still... ugh.」 

I bet. ... How good is the fish here? Law... are there eels?

「Sudden cravings, man.」

[hot_mes]

not that I know of. some of the clinic staff shared information on what's where but thats all I know.

eels? haven't caught any yet but it's possible

[puzzlingly]

All right... you'll have to fill me in about that, like, where is the Speakeasy and stuff but... Eel sushi, Law, just think about it.

「Oh, he seems to realize something!」

Maybe I can go fish with you?

[hot_mes]

[you know, he really would kill for some unagi right now. Good idea, Atem]

why not? I don't go out every day now that it's not about survival anymore but when I do, sure.

speakeasy's south. coliseum west. all the islands have a few shops and houses on them but the important places are split up.

[puzzlingly]

「He'd love some seabass too... Just grilled rosy seabass, please.」

Awesome! I won't disappoint you!

「He so will, until he gets the hang of it, he's got no Egyptian God to cheat at this anymore.」

When do you wanna do this sailing thing? What do I need?

[hot_mes]

should be free of work in about an hour if it's not too soon

just yourself. maybe one of those umbrellas if you don't want seaspray in the face I guess [Law on the other hand does not care, it's just water. Well, that small amount of it won't harm him anyway.]

[puzzlingly]

「Ah, he will take one of those with him, but mostly for the walk back home. But, huh, it is too soon.」

Actually... I really, really, really wanted to see Kaiba put this together.

「Of course he's not gonna miss the whole point of this stupid trade.」

Tomorrow... maybe?

「Please don't be mad!?」

[hot_mes]

fine. tomorrow, then.

[of course he's not mad, that gives him plenty of time to chill and get shit done]

[puzzlingly]

「Oh no, he's totally mad... because, how does he even know! Texting!」

Sorry, Law! I'll make it up to you. Promise.

「He'll... who knows, make him breakfast.」

[hot_mes]

make what up? what are you worried about?

[puzzlingly]

I don't want you to get mad at me for not going with you today.

「Just overreacting a little here.」

[hot_mes]

....you think I would be mad over something so insignificant? relax. I said fine because I meant fine.
