PERMANENT EVENT: A WHOLE NEW FRONTIER

[Surely it was too early for another announcement, right...? But then there it is, that tell-tale electronic feedback screeching through the halls before a mature female voice resonates through it.]

The doors are unlocked.

[That's all she says. Those who are curious might test the front doors...and they'll find that they open not to the seemingly civilized outskirts of town as the now vanished view from the roof may have made you think, but to the horizon. Likewise that barrier and its lies blocking anybody's escape via the roof or sky has collapsed, leaving the air a tad bit...more temperamental. You see, there was weather now.

Out from the front doors of the Campus can be see an expanse of land and then the sea. Anybody who ventures out further will find that they're still trapped, only in a bigger cage. This new cage is now five miles across the diameter at its longest point. The island itself is about as varied as it comes: covered jungles, a cave system, a single stream leading up to a freshwater lake, and a lone mountain near the center. One part near the front of the school is home to a sometimes-pleasant sandy shore ripe for the hunting sea life. Everywhere else is a perilous cliff fall into the sea.

Anybody who tries to escape via the sea will find the riptide tearing them back to a cave near the shore.]

((This event is a permanent setting expansion, you can read more about it here as well as in the island setting page near the bottom here. Have fun, if you have any questions simply address them to the OOC post, plurk, or AIM if applicable, and please don't forget to tag your series!))

[And that would be Bakura jumping backwards to stare in surprise and shock. He could have died.

He could have died.

Kaiba-
]

...Kaiba! You...

[...saved his life. He can hardly believe it.]

T-thank you!
blueyesfanboy: (arms crossed)

[That was in return for the food.]

Ugh. [Kaiba moves over to retrieve his card, paying more attention to it and the now present crease in the corner than Bakura's thanks. Luckily it was a trap card he had a double of.]

If you died, I would have to carry that bag myself. I'm not doing that.
fluffydeathdealer: Ryou (Ahahaha! Haha! ...haaa.)

[personal profile] fluffydeathdealer 2013-08-17 11:31 pm (UTC)(link)
R-right.

[It takes him a moment to calm down from the shock. At least cards were more replaceable than short albino nerds possessed by evil rings. Well, short compared to Kaiba, anyway. Despite Kaiba's coldness, he can't help but feel a little warm inside - and it's not from the sun. It's like seeing a hint of a person behind that mask of stone, and that's something worth treasuring. That and the fact that he didn't just die painfully is definitely something to celebrate.]

At least I'm not expendable yet. Still- thanks.
blueyesfanboy: (arrhhh)

1/2

... [Ughh. He swore if Bakura thanked him one more time, he'd be the next thing he threw a card at.]

[Kaiba opts to not say anything else to the teen as they continue their exhausting trek...]
blueyesfanboy: (+1 dead puppy)

2/2

[personal profile] blueyesfanboy 2013-08-17 11:38 pm (UTC)(link)
[...After an hour of tiring walking passes, a building can be seen through the foliage ahead. For the first time since eating, Kaiba feels a sudden burst of energy, his heart pounding in his chest.

Finally...civilization!

While he doesn't state his excitement, it's obvious he's found something by the way he speeds up just a bit.]
fluffydeathdealer: Ryou (Who's that up there?)

[personal profile] fluffydeathdealer 2013-08-18 10:46 am (UTC)(link)
[He stays silent until the vague flash of light on windows catches his eye. Ryou has enough of a pessimistic side to not get hopeful just yet. After all there's no guarantee that anyone living nearby - if there is anyone - is friendly. The best case scenario would be if the place was abandoned. But at least there'd be a chance of transport, or somewhere to rest, or-]

Ah-! That's...

[Though that building does look a little familiar. Just vaguely. Well, they'd find out where they were soon enough.]

I wonder if anyone's there.

[Once they clear the jungle and get a good look at the flank of the building, Kaiba can feel his enthusiasm sink, only to quickly twist into anger.

That was...the building they just came from. He knew it. The shape was a dead giveaway.

The teen stops in his tracks, almost unwilling to move forward and own up to the fact he had led them in one big circle.]
fluffydeathdealer: Ryou (Ah! That's the rarest card of all!)

[personal profile] fluffydeathdealer 2013-08-18 09:42 pm (UTC)(link)
-!

[And that would be Ryou stopping just short of bumping into Kaiba, backpedalling to avoid it and falling over.]

Ah... It can't be...

[Well. That's one wasted day.]
blueyesfanboy: (anayltical)

[personal profile] blueyesfanboy 2013-08-18 09:45 pm (UTC)(link)
It is. [Kaiba says with such bitterness it's nearly palpable. Not would probably be a good time to not talk to him, as he starts to move forward towards the school.

Going back was pointless right now. He needed to reevaluate things.]
fluffydeathdealer: Ryou (Yugi... I'm so sorry...)

[personal profile] fluffydeathdealer 2013-08-18 09:47 pm (UTC)(link)
...

[Yeah, uh, he has a feeling Kaiba will throttle the life out of him if he speaks to him just now. So he just flops down on the grass and gives up.

...well, at least he can rest now and eat the rest of the food.

[Kaiba leaves Bakura there, heading into the school to deal with his anger and humiliation by himself.]
