Duel 002: Peaceful Days! The Fluffiest Training Montage Commences

[fluffydeathdealer]

[It's a bit of a pain, being in a school with no teachers.

Ryou Bakura isn't the type of kid who really likes being too active; he's about on the level of most ordinary teenagers. But after being laid up for so long with the burns to his arms and leg, not only is he extremely restless, but he's sure even his metabolism won't hold up much longer, with the amount he eats. That's why, after checking to see that Henry isn't home to take him up on that training offer, he's decided to try treating this like school and taking an hour or so to do his very own gym class, all by himself. It'd be easier with teachers, but... he doesn't have a choice right now.

Most kids probably would just take the break and be lazy, but right now, Ryou's working hard. Apart from the occasional break, he can be found pretty easily in the east wing, dressed in gym clothes and doing everything from running laps on the track field to climbing ropes.

...though that last one is more like 'falling off ropes'. Stupid mats... they don't cushion that fall at all. Hopefully nobody's dumb enough to stand below him.]

Ow...

[Time for a banana and some water, he thinks.]

Ah, I'm so tired...

[hyperhero]

Works for me!

[BRB CLEANING OUT YOUR DESSERT STORES.]

[fluffydeathdealer]

...wow, can even we eat that many desserts?

[hyperhero]

I grabbed enough for you and me, so...

[fluffydeathdealer]

Hehe. Sounds about right... I've gotten my appetite back a little, after all. Shall we go? We've got the whole island we can duel on if we want.

[hyperhero]

You bet! Let's go find somewhere open!

[You're his bestest fraannnnddddd]

[fluffydeathdealer]

Un! Let's go!

[He has an odd feeling of doom from somewhere, but oh well! Yaaay for friends~!]

Let's see... the way outside is that way!

[hyperhero]

Let's go!

[And Judai's off, not too slow but not too quick, mindful of Ryou's own speed. Just because he wants to get out there and duel badly doesn't mean he won't be nice!]

[fluffydeathdealer]

[How kind! He'll happily follow, heading outside without a care in the world as he fastens on the Duel Disk. Right now, he might as well be an ordinary student. How fun~♥!

Now to find a nice open space... if they don't decide to just use the nearby beach.]

Where should we go?

[hyperhero]

How about the beach? Shouldn't really be anyone in the way there, and they can come watch too!

[fluffydeathdealer]

That works! It's a good place to duel, as long as the wind doesn't get your cards.

[hyperhero]

Shouldn't! The duel disks kinda prevent that.

[Beaaaach.]

[fluffydeathdealer]

But the ones in your hand can still be blown away, you know?

[Settling on the beach, he activates the duel disk carefully.

...it definitely doesn't take him long to lose, even now.]

[hyperhero]

Ah, good point!

[No, but he actually managed to scuff Judai this time, which Judai is praising all the way back to the dorm. After all, that's better than he did last time!]

[fluffydeathdealer]

Hehe, it was fun! Even if I lost, I don't mind.

[hyperhero]

And that's the important part! You've got to enjoy it, otherwise, what's the point of it?

[Back into the Ryou-dorm~. Judai's heading in the kitchen with the dessert-box, both to drop it off and grab a drink. He's thirsty.]

Winged Kuriboh and I will see if we can find your Duel Disk a little later today.

[fluffydeathdealer]

Hehe, no point at all! Duel Monsters is supposed to be pleasant, win or lose.

Thank you! I'd use the Ring, but the other me seems to resist it when I try. So I've been looking on my own.

[He talks without looking at what Judai's doing, setting Malik's duel disk on his bed with an apologetic note.]

[hyperhero]

Why's that? Doesn't he want it too?

[Bah, the soda's not cold. Doot dee doo, gonna just check the freezer for ice...]

1/2

[fluffydeathdealer]

I don't know! You'd think he'd want it back, since he got it for us after all.

2/2

[fluffydeathdealer]

[And this would be the Ring flying out right into Judai's face.]

[hyperhero]

[This is Judai.

This is Judai who was not even remotely expecting a freezing cold metal Egyptian artifact to come flying out of the freezer at his face once he opened it.

CLONG, and right when his mouth was open mid-reply to Ryou... meaning the metal is now stuck very firmly to his tongue.]

AHUGHUGHU!

1/2

[fluffydeathdealer]

Eh-?! Judai-kun, why are you licking the Ring?!

[Sad thing is, he could believe it was intentional considering the guy existed on junk food for weeks.]

2/2

[fluffydeathdealer]

[And there is suddenly a voice inside of Judai's head... A little more intense than Ryou's normal voice, but still close enough to it to be recognizable...

The hell are you doing?]

[hyperhero]

Ihuh whushn't hihcking iht!

[And then suddenly there's a voice in his head and wtf?

Getting ice?]

[fluffydeathdealer]

[I wasn't expecting to hit you in the face. Is there a reason you're stuck to me, Judai Yuki?]

[hyperhero]

['Cuz you're metal, you were in the freezer, and you hit me in the tongue?]
