Screw the intro rules, I have money!

[So, after the very loud and disruptive sound of a jet-plane making its decent, this lands nearly in the courtyard:



And from that ridiculous jet steps out none other than the multimillionaire, Seto Kaiba. He looks steely-eyed as usual.

...Now, this wasn't the KaibaCorp building. Which was especially bizarre, considering he was driving the damn thing.]

Heh. I would expect a friend of Yugi's to say something as naive as that.

[Respect was important...to a degree, but only for those who were your own level or higher, and even the only if they deserved it. There was hardly a need to respect those not worth your time.]

[fluffydeathdealer]

But, doesn't that make it so much harder to get by in the modern world if you don't think politeness matters?

[As far as Ryou knows, all businessmen wear suits (except Kaiba) and have to be super-ultra polite (except Kaiba). Though he knows Kaiba's sort of an asshole - he's spent enough time hanging around to know that - it surprises him that he's so blatantly cold.]

[blueyesfanboy]

No. Politeness is nothing but an inability to stand on your own two feet.

[He raises a hand dramatically, clenching his fist.] Respect, on the other hand, is earned, and your "politeness" turns you into nothing more than a doormat.

...

[Okay, he has to admire that. He really does. Even if Kaiba is terrifying, he can see why he's such a powerful person. A person like that could do pretty much anything.]

That's true. [A slight smile. There's no condescension in it - just honest friendliness and a slight hint of interest.] I don't have the ambitions you do, so for me, politeness is important. But I can understand why someone like you doesn't see the need now. Unnecessary things must be pretty low on your priorities.

[blueyesfanboy]

Heh. [What an amusing change of circumstance this was; Bakura decided to agree with him.] Agreeing with me only serves to further prove my point. You're hopeless.

[fluffydeathdealer]

Ahahaha! [He awkwardly rubs the back of his head.] I wouldn't go that far.

[Wouldn't you? something mockingly whispers in the back of his head and he looks away awkwardly.]

I'm not hopeless. Just different.

[blueyesfanboy]

[Kaiba does not look convinced or the least bit amused.]

If you're done wasting my time. [He's dismissing you, Bakura. Now let him get back to figuring out why his jet engine was replaced by a toaster.]
