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...

[If you think so, you clearly don't know him well.]

It was! Thankfully, Winged Kuriboh helped me out of there... the guy'd set up a fake duel of darkness thing before the spirits went nuts, so I didn't realize those ghosts made it real until the end where my partner helped out.

[fluffydeathdealer]

[He's known him all of a couple of days!]

Eh?! A duel of darkness? That's bad...!

[hyperhero]

[Fair point.]

Yeah, it was... really freaky. I got out okay, though not so sure about the other guy.

[fluffydeathdealer]

I... I see. I hope he's alright.

[hyperhero]

Bakura promised no spirits, though! And he said it was just for fun, since he wanted to "see how I handled it" or something. Couldn't turn it down then!

[fluffydeathdealer]

...

Eheh... as long as he sticks to that, I guess it's okay...

[hyperhero]

...Eh? Is there some reason he wouldn't?

[fluffydeathdealer]

I don't know... I never understand the way he thinks, you know? But he once turned everyone into duel monsters for a duel, so I can't tell what he'll do in a game.

[hyperhero]

Well, I bet that he--

[hyperhero]

[Hang on there, gears are cranking out smokeand Judai's just now registered that last part.]

3/3

[hyperhero]

Wait, what?!

[fluffydeathdealer]

Ahaha... that guy has some pretty weird abilities. So he turned everyone into their favourite monsters, complete with the costume and powers.

[hyperhero]

...That sounds like a festival, actually! That'd be pretty cool...

[The point.























Judai's head.]

[fluffydeathdealer]

...

You know, most people would be freaked out by that.

[hyperhero]

Freaked out by what? That he changed people up for a duel? Sounds like fun!

[fluffydeathdealer]

He turned people into cards for a duel.

[hyperhero]

...Ahaha! That's a pretty funny joke, Ryou!

[fluffydeathdealer]

[Sigh. Judai really doesn't get it... Please don't die, Judai. He likes you.]

Did you want more desserts?

[hyperhero]

[Unfortunately, Judai isn't from a very magical background. Something like that... it really just sounds like a joke to him. He's almost more innocent than you, Ryou!

As it is, he nods, grinning widely.]

You bet!

[fluffydeathdealer]

[brb rooting in the fridge for the ones that actually need to be cared for, and setting them out. It's practically a small feast of sugar.]

So did you enjoy your hour-long chat?

[hyperhero]

Yeah! Wasn't as fun as talking with you, but I got to learn a lot about Duelist Kingdom and Battle City! It was pretty cool!

[fluffydeathdealer]

...eh? Me? But I don't have even half of those kinds of stories.

[hyperhero]

Nah, but you're just more fun to talk to. You can get happy and excited, and you look like you're having fun just from that. He's always too serious. It's not really as fun talking about anything with him.

[fluffydeathdealer]

...

Uhm.

You know he can hear you, right?

[hyperhero]

...Well, it's true.
