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!))

[Pegasus purred when the glass was handed over and he stopped only momentarily to delicately take a sip, then setting it back down near Kaiba's own. He didn't see how addressing the issue at that moment would help matters between them right now.]
Ah, thank you. It feels nice, doesn't it?
[He went back to diligently working over those shoulders again, his lips ghosting warm breath near his ear again. He's just trying to be thorough about the way he's massaging, so that Kaiba's pain and tension would fall away.]
no subject
Actually, I think I do. [Making products for Industrial Illusions was one of KaibaCorp's staples now. If Lee so much as touched his territory...]
[Ah, but despite his harsh-as-usual tone and words, that massage really was getting to him. He could practically feel the tension melting off him.]
Hnm... [That was a yes.]
no subject
[Pegasus said in a soft singsong voice, and let his hands move back up to massage at his head again, making sure to pay careful attention to the crown and sifting his fingers through his hair. It was softer than he'd have originally thought, and there wasn't a doubt that Kaiba wasn't enjoying himself.
He seemed to be a bit blissful, which was very good.]
There now. No use resisting.~ It'll feel better that way.
no subject
The massage to his scalp was a bit strange, but he couldn't help but embrace it as he allows his eyes to fall shut again.
All of a sudden, the weight from his exploration today pressed down on him, making him realize not only how physically tired he was, but mentally too.]
no subject
He'd never normally have done this either but something told him it was needed. Call it intuition, perhaps. Imagine his surprise when Kaiba didn't reject the massage at all, and rather took to it.
Pegasus moved to rub at Kaiba's temples now, knowing that that was where the other CEO held a lot of his tension.]
I know...you've just had a very long day today. For now, relaxing is the best course of action. That means you'll have more energy tomorrow to address everything. Taking time to rest a little is a good thing, you know. I promise I'll be of more help as well. It's a burden you don't have to share alone, Kaiba-boy.
no subject
[Tomorrow...he was going to head out again, with or without Pegasus. His top priority right now was getting out of here. Even Pegasus's merging plans took second place to that.]
I can't relax. [With his arms folded, his fingers dig into the fabric under their fingertips.] I won't relax until I have the proprietor of this event groveling at my feet.
no subject
Let's not get ahead of ourselves, shall we? I have confidence in you Kaiba-boy. We'll have them before long.~ Mm...well, maybe if you like we can have a duel before you go to bed. Or, tomorrow, perhaps.
[That would take his mind off things, right?]
no subject
We made a deal, Pegasus. Remember? [He opens his eyes again, determination sparking in those blue irises.] You're going to duel me when we get out of here. To do so now would be admitting defeat.
no subject
[What was the harm in having a slightly different before that? A smirk began to curve his mouth as he spoke, indicating that there was more to it than he was actually letting on.]
We could play chess. And for...say, oh maybe some exclusive cards I haven't told you about yet.
no subject
Well, that's different. [He sets his glass down.] Do you even have a chess board?
no subject
[Pegasus danced away from the chair Kaiba was sitting in long enough to go into one of the rooms and pull out a distinct-looking chessboard, making a space on the table so that he could have it between them. Dinner time was clearly over, for now.
He opened the box and began to set up the pieces before long, some of which might be quite distinctly familiar if he cared to look.]
no subject
[When he first sees the Duel Monsters theme board, he finds it rather clever...until he notices that those aren't just any Duel Monsters. They're...]
Cartoons? Ugh.
no subject
[Pegasus laughed without restraint to the reaction. Oh goodness, what a hoot Kaiba-boy could be! He's already gathering out the Toon pieces and setting them in their proper places...Why, with Toon Blue Eyes as the King and Toon Black Magician girl as the Queen, everything was already perfect!]
Don't fancy a friendly game of chess?
no subject
Still, building a robot takes work, time and dedication. Something has to power the thing.
He strides in and removes the lab coat without much care to reveal his pressed white suit underneath.]
Anything new? Aside from the extra warm body, I presume.
[Then he spots the chess board.]
Oh good!
no subject
So this is Lee. [That look in his eyes is far from welcoming. A bit challenging, if anything.]
no subject
Chaolee-boy!~ There you are. ♡ Please do come in. I made dinner! I do hope you like steak. I kept a plate for you. And oh, where ever have you been? You smell like...well, science, for lack of a better term.
[He already is up close and personal with the man, but he hardly saw anything wrong with that at all.]
Oh, "Extra warm body" indeed. This is my colleague and business partner, Kaiba-boy. Come, please. To the table! And oh, you fancy chess too? I mean, I believe you said you did, but..I never really brought it out before now.
Kaiba-boy, this is Lee~
no subject
My humblest apologies for not greeting you properly, Mister Kaiba. Pegasus spoke highly of you in the warmest regards.
[It was Lee's way of saying that he could have called him a brat but now wasn't the time for petty quips when a good meal was waiting. Now, to address his whereabouts.]
Oh, I've been working in the robotics lab and becoming reacquainted with the machinery. The math is tremendous! I feel so much better now that I am back with something familiar.
no subject
[Kaiba remains seated, watching the two with distaste. This was Lee? What would Pegasus need with somebody in the robotics field? Wasn't KaibaCorp's Solid Vision system good enough?
Even when Lee greets him, the teen has nothing to say, not that it mattered since the older man went on to answer Pegasus's previous question mere seconds later.]
no subject
[Honestly Kaiba. He puts in a good word for you and this is how you repay him? Pegasus sighed a little, before turning back to Lee.]
Oh, don't mind him. He's a little upset, naturally. He's only been here a little while, after all.
[At the explanation though he looks more than delighted.]
Robotics lab? They have that here? O~oh I'd love to see. Please, do show me!~ I want to see a genius at work. But for now, why don't I take your coat...and you sit.
[His suit coat that was since he'd already helped himself out of his lab coat! Pegasus helped him out of it, and gestured for him to sit, hanging it up before there was room to protest.
Then, before long, he's already pouring Lee a glass of wine, and bringing out his dinner of choice chateaubriand steak, the kind of roasted beef tenderloin with wine sauce that was tender and moist on the inside and served with a side of grilled summer vegetables. He's just such the host like that, though he'd made sure Kaiba had gotten his already. It actually wasn't particularly hard to prepare, despite how it may have sounded.]
