Action Dueling World Championships, huh.

I'm almost kind of sad I never really got too deep into the pro scene. That looks like a wild ride.

I imagine OOPARTS will probably be busy making sure the city's not going to explode like during the WRGP fiasco, though, so I'll probably be managing that. Plus, I think I just want to keep relaxing since I don't think the vacation quite... did the job.

Maybe I -should- get a mini-golf set for the new office. Or something I can work on in my spare time now that Jean's head of R&D. I dunno.

Either way, though, I'll be rooting for you all out there.

Mini-golf sets sound so weirdly stereotypical...

[becomeanwarrior]

Right? That's kind of what I thought. Not to mention it makes me feel old.

[blackmage_linka]

Though, what you're looking for is something to keep your hands busy, isn't it?

[becomeanwarrior]

Yeah. I mean, I'm a tech-head, I did most of the tech stuff before Jean came on, so...

[blackmage_linka]

Does it really mean you need to stop building things, though?

[becomeanwarrior]

I suppose not, though. I guess - I dunno, I don't know what to build.

[zoomizumi]

Hey.

Hey.

Hey.

You should sign up.

[becomeanwarrior]

Eh... I dunno. I'm not -that- much of a pro, Izumi...

[zoomizumi]

So? You're a good duelist. And you know how to Action Duel.

I know. 'Cause I was there when you did.

[becomeanwarrior]

Yeah, perhaps, but you've gotta be seeing the kind of people who're gonna be there. Akae, Juudai, probably Marias, hell, I've heard rumors dudes from Battle City are gonna be there. Battle City! That's what got me into dueling in the first place!

...I just. I don't know if I'm cut out for -that- level of play.

[zoomizumi]

So?

You can take 'em.

[becomeanwarrior]

Hm... maybe. I wanna make sure the city's safe first, though.

[Private to Izumi]

...Promise you can keep a secret?

[zoomizumi]

Me and Chief Mikata can handle it! You should go win! It'd be fun, you'd kick ass and you'd get a buncha publicity for us!

[Private]

Of course. If the money's right.

[Private to Izumi]

[becomeanwarrior]

Hah! Is that your way of asking for a raise? It isn't bad, truth be told.

No, uh. I may have, kind of, sort of. Already signed up. But I don't want anyone to know. I'm going in incognito until I either get knocked out or win the whole thing.

Re: [Private to Izumi]

[zoomizumi]

....how're you gonna do that? Aren't you kind of a super public figure?

Re: [Private to Izumi]

[becomeanwarrior]

That's the trick of it. The people who are taking care of registration know who I am, but to everyone else, I'm going to be the "Masked Gentleman Duelist", who got in winning a bunch of low-level tournies with ease.

Re: [Private to Izumi]

[zoomizumi]

...

...

...

...

That. Is. The.

Re: [Private to Izumi]

[zoomizumi]

COOLEST THING I'VE EVER HEARD.

Re: [Private to Izumi]

[becomeanwarrior]

Right!? I've already got a deck I'm gonna play instead of my usual wheelhouse, no one will suspect a thing!

[arknpcs6]

I wonder how much the Battle City guys are there because they're good or because they're has-beens that have name value with the older members of the audience.

[becomeanwarrior]

I dunno, you gotta imagine like. Some of them have more to play with than they did during battle city days.

Like Esper Roba! Man, Roba just had that Jinzo gimmick and now he has a whole archetype to work with.

[arknpcs6]

I'm not sure he's exactly a Jinzo player. And he lost his Jinzo aeons ago, unless he got something better.

I'm pretty sure his whole Deck Gimmick was Psychic Manipulation anyways.

Also, you give me the distinct impression you're going to do something incredibly stupid.

[becomeanwarrior]

Akae, please, I've always given you that impression. So long as you've known me.

[arknpcs6]

Stupider.

[becomeanwarrior]

I promise it's nothing.

[arknpcs6]

It better not be or you're ending up on the news hung from a flag pole in your underwear.

[becomeanwarrior]

N-Not the Graviton Wedgie, I thought you retired that move!?

[arknpcs6]

A what now?

I just plan to wreck your shit hard.

[thefoxreturns]

So. You want something to do?

[becomeanwarrior]

Ah, so this is how Faust feels.

Whatcha got in mind, Gwen?

[thefoxreturns]

I'm planning to perform salvage on my old place.

Any interest in playing with quantum magitech?

[becomeanwarrior]

...You know, that sounds like a really easy way to get retconned from existence.

But it'd also be really fun.

[thefoxreturns]

Well I WILL be bringing it in dented and damaged.

[becomeanwarrior]

...I make no promises I can salvage it, but.

Well, I'd be glad to try.

[thefoxreturns]

I figure you need something to do before you go all crazy and what not.

Now if I could figure out what to do about Euphemia.

[becomeanwarrior]

Ugh, yeah. I dunno where to start with her. She needs... someone to help her calm down and understand, but I'm not sure I'm the one to do it.

[thefoxreturns]

Well it ain't me or The Big Kahuna herself.

[becomeanwarrior]

...I guess I can try, but I dunno how well I'll get through to her, is the thing.

Maybe Sadame?

[thefoxreturns]

He has no clue either.

[becomeanwarrior]

Ugh. Can't say I blame him.

It's up to me, huh?

[thefoxreturns]

Honestly I dunno WHO it's up to.

[becomeanwarrior]

...Yeah, I dunno.

Maybe I'll talk it over with Noriko. See whether she wants me to do it. If not... that's fine.

[thefoxreturns]

Well not sure.

Go ask her.
