[EFFECT ROOM] The Red Thread of Not-Quite-Fate

[This room is definitely one that you wouldn't expect to find in a school, considering that it appears to be a gigantic cafe. Plush carpets, cushioned chairs, a whole bunch of fancy drinks and snacks...

Someone put a dating cafe in the school!]


((OOC: Here's how it works! The room is based off the idea of the red string of fate from Japanese/Chinese legend. On stepping into the room, your character will find a thin but completely unbreakable red string tied to their pinkie, with the other end tied to someone else who's come into the room. The red string persists even if you try to leave, and won't disappear until a full day later. The thread itself will lengthen or shorten depending on the proximity of the two characters, but it won't let you get more than a room's length away from each other.

Here's the complication: the Gods are kind of sort of drunk off their asses, which means that the red string could tie you to literally anyone. Your worst enemy, your brother, your father, Old Man Jenkins... it's one of those things where you're lucky if you get your soulmate! Furthermore, the strings can (by player choice) actually swap around repeatedly, so your character could end up tied to one person all day or have to deal with being tied to five different ones through it!

For characters who don't know about the legend, there's a paper pinned to the wall by the door that explains it (at least, the actual legend, not the drunk-gods part). While the paper can be ripped up, it'll just regenerate a minute or two later.

And yes I purposefully picked the most inappropriate journal for this))

Eh, has it really been that long?

You know, if you didn't want to stop eating, we could do it right here on the table! Though there wouldn't be any holograms.
fluffydeathdealer: Ryou (Yaaaaaay!)

Un! Let's do our best!

[Taking his out of his pocket~.]

We used to do it like this all the time.

They weren't invented until Duelist Kingdom and weren't made publically available until Battle City - and even then only to duelists who registered for it.

[Shuffle, shuffle. There.]

Un! [Draw.]

Then I'll make my move!

[It's almost as fun, somehow. Just sitting and playing while nibbling on cakes and treats, and sipping soda. He can feel the bond of trust between him and his cards growing.

...even if he loses again.

Yes! You can go first this time!

[Judai is a strong opponent, but the fact that he doesn't look down on his opponents is worthy of respect. Such a good boy...]
fluffydeathdealer: Ryou (Ahahaha! Haha! ...haaa.)

[personal profile] fluffydeathdealer 2013-10-08 08:21 pm (UTC)(link)
It's all thanks to you!

[Eh, he really did do better... how amazing... it seems Judai's method of ALWAYS DUEL is a good training method.]
fluffydeathdealer: Ryou (So why is the Ring pointing there?)

[He nods seriously, gathering up his cards and holding them. Truthfully, Henry was helping too. With the work on the England Deck ongoing, he was beginning to feel more for his cards, even if these weren't the same ones.]

I'm getting a better feel for it, too.
