CAMPUS WIDE EVENT: EVERYTHING AND THE KITCHEN SINK

[Hopefully everybody likes waking up outside.

Because as it were, in the middle of the night when everybody had been asleep or lulled into a sudden one by the sheer weight of the air around them...the Campus disappeared in its entirety. Left behind was only the cool surface of the concrete foundation.

For now it seems the residents were left to fend for themselves in the wilderness of the island. Not even the voice from over the intercom would comfort them.]

((ooc: the school has disappeared, along with all the NPCs and everything that was inside! no opt-out areas this time around. The temperature is cool during the day, and colder at night.

The event will last until October 20th, and I'll post a closer to signify it. Everything will be returned to its rightful place then.))

[Henry nods a little, not closing his eyes this time. Instead, he cups his hands like before, saying the words quietly and carefully as he imagines "drawing" the Swords.

Like before, it takes him a try or two, but soon enough the card is back in his hands and he feels that same drain from before.]


I can't imagine doing multiple things at once, like a deck, is easy...
youreternalservant: (determined; going to blast you)

Good, Henry.

[He smiles in approval, but pauses to consider those words.]

It's possible to make it easy... but only if you can conceptualize it as a 'set', where each piece is part of the same thing. The size of the object doesn't matter, in the end... what matters is how easily you can recognize it.

After all, a book is made of many pages. I don't need to visualize the entire book to summon or conceal it. My mind already recognizes it as one item, despite all of the parts.
helpusduelist: (Don't you falter this time)

[personal profile] helpusduelist 2013-10-17 05:20 am (UTC)(link)
Hm... so before I start trying to do this with my deck, I have to completely fix it as a set in my mind, much like your book.

[He shivers suddenly, blowing out a little and tapping the deck to let the armor wash back over him. It's too cold to be out in barely anything, dammit, but the Campus took all their clothes!]

I think I'll work on that some, first. If just because I'm afraid I'll freeze without the armor. What a death that would be... the King of England, freezing out in the middle of the forest in just thin pants.

You underestimate things, my king... I'd give you my robes before I let that happen.

[He could handle the cold after all.]

[He laughs a little quietly.]

Make Yugi and I cuddle up by the fire while you sat spotting naked? That would certainly be a sight.

[Yes, he remembers Mahad has some clothes under that, but that's not as funny.]
youreternalservant: (surprised; have to keep going)

[personal profile] youreternalservant 2013-10-17 05:47 am (UTC)(link)
[His face burns at that thought and he has to look away abruptly, under the pretense of clearing his throat.]

Is that the sort of place your mind goes, my king?
helpusduelist: (I'm always smiling down at thee)

[personal profile] helpusduelist 2013-10-17 05:48 am (UTC)(link)
[Henry gives a louder laugh at that, settling down near the fire to give an innocent smile.]

Of course not. I'm just a bit spoiled by having someone to tease and somewhere I can tease them, I think.
youreternalservant: (lineface; hands off my yugi)

[personal profile] youreternalservant 2013-10-17 05:55 am (UTC)(link)
[Thank the gods his dark skin didn't show blushing as easily as it could have.]

You're lucky I like you, Henry.
helpusduelist: (To keep peace over the land)

[personal profile] helpusduelist 2013-10-17 06:38 am (UTC)(link)
I take it I'd be feeling your magic first-hand if I didn't?
youreternalservant: (smile; you're sweet)

[personal profile] youreternalservant 2013-10-17 08:55 am (UTC)(link)
I don't use my powers frivolously.

[...says the man who afterworld-warped a piece of cake to entertain Yugi.]
helpusduelist: (I'm always smiling down at thee)

[personal profile] helpusduelist 2013-10-17 08:58 am (UTC)(link)
Using them on me would be frivolous, then? I'm insulted.

[He's not. Not even close. The laughing says as much.]
youreternalservant: (smile; trust in the pharaoh)

[personal profile] youreternalservant 2013-10-17 10:48 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, the most frivolous. After all, all I have to do to get revenge is to whisper some things to your mother when you return...

[He wouldn't, but the joke still hangs there.]
helpusduelist: (We're always trying harder not to die)

[personal profile] helpusduelist 2013-10-17 10:49 am (UTC)(link)
[It's less a joke and more a chilling threat, because Henry's laugh has caught in his throat and he's looking at Mahad like a scared rabbit.]

You wouldn't.
