Viewtiful Rekk (10:06:41 PM): ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
kwikkidus (10:09:16 PM): "Oh, that's brilliant of you..." He grabs what remains of the french toast, taking another bite from it. "So then, I assume we'll be taking this outside somewhere, ne? Bloody rude to send flying icebolts over someone's pancakes."
Y Ruler of Time (10:09:42 PM): "...Icebolts?"
Viewtiful Rekk (10:09:48 PM): Jin snorts. "I suppose." He drinks the rest of his coffee and places the cup on the table. "Where to?"
kwikkidus (10:10:12 PM): "Or whatever." He takes the final bite. "Somewhere outside. It's still warm enough for a good duel... if you're up for it."
Viewtiful Rekk (10:10:46 PM): "Fine." He leaves the cafeteria with that.
Y Ruler of Time (10:11:47 PM): "..." Alex slowly follows. "...Icebolts?"
kwikkidus (10:12:02 PM): "Icebolts, pure void, fireballs, it's all the same, really.
Viewtiful Rekk (10:15:45 PM): "How's the path outside the main building?"
kwikkidus (10:16:21 PM): "...A nice, high-traffic area. I've been keeping my dueling on the down low more often than not lately... but that sounds perfect to me."
Viewtiful Rekk (10:17:29 PM): Eventually, they arrive at the aforementioned location. HUZZAH
Viewtiful Rekk (10:18:17 PM): "So let's make this clear. I win, you tell us what you know about the Monarchs."
Sinisquirrel (10:18:36 PM): Eventually, there show up two Red students, one of them STILL working on a half of a friggin huge Bearclaw. Forget the cafeteria-- Towa's stock is better.
kwikkidus (10:19:24 PM): "And if I win... I tell you what I know about the Monarchs. I just want to duel you."
Viewtiful Rekk (10:20:10 PM): "I tell ya, I haven't had a good bagel in like a month and a half now!" Amado seems to think Towa's choices are better as well.
Y Ruler of Time (10:20:50 PM): "..." 'What the hell is Flunky up to?' Alex is SUSPICIOUS.
Viewtiful Rekk (10:20:56 PM): "...do you think I'll be easy points because I lost to Zandel, flunky?"
Sinisquirrel (10:21:54 PM): "I'm under the suspicion that my cousin and Polyxena-senpai have some sort of trade going on..." Oh? That couldn't be. Lily looks at the duelists in the path.
kwikkidus (10:21:57 PM): "Naah... I've just been wondering about how strong you are as compared to me. It's not like I even need the points, ne?"
Viewtiful Rekk (10:22:14 PM): "...You already have 50,000?"
kwikkidus (10:22:46 PM): "Actually... My deck qualified as lifegain, so..." He holds up his dis-belt. "I have 93,200."
Viewtiful Rekk (10:23:20 PM): "...how on earth are you not a corpse?"
Viewtiful Rekk (10:24:05 PM): "...eh? What's Eon-sensei doing dueling that guy...?"
kwikkidus (10:24:08 PM): "Maybe because it's just a duel or twenty. It's not like a marathon's unusual for people in this school."
Sinisquirrel (10:24:32 PM): "... sensei?"
Viewtiful Rekk (10:24:38 PM): "...But the Dis-Belt...your energy should all be gone!"
Viewtiful Rekk (10:24:59 PM): "Yuhuh." Nodnod. "He's teaching me all about girls and stuff."
Y Ruler of Time (10:25:03 PM): "..." '...What's up with this guy? I dueled just over half a dozen times and could barely stand...this guy's done twenty and he's acting as calm and arrogant as ever...'
kwikkidus (10:25:25 PM): "Should it? Well I mean, pulling an all-nighter's never easy, but... that's why I made a point of eating with the blues today. Your coffee... ahh, such a fine aroma."
Sinisquirrel (10:25:33 PM): "... and you feel that wise." It's not a question, it's a statement of some contempt.
Viewtiful Rekk (10:25:58 PM): "Well, he seems to know a lot...s'either that or ask Fuji for advice..."
Sinisquirrel (10:26:35 PM): "... ... ..." And now, the obvious question. "Have you ever seen him with a girl?"
Y Ruler of Time (10:26:42 PM): "AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!! ...I don't know why I just laughed." -Brick-
Viewtiful Rekk (10:26:43 PM): "Tch..." Jin activates his disk. Just what the hell is up with him...unless he's just lying. "Let's go."
kwikkidus (10:27:09 PM): "Very well then..." His activates as well. "Let's."
Viewtiful Rekk (10:27:29 PM): "...well, I mean..." Blink blink.
Viewtiful Rekk (10:27:47 PM): "...HEY FLUNKY! YOU TELL ME YOU KNOW ALL THIS CRAP ABOUT GIRLS, BUT YOU'VE NEVER BEEN WITH ONE!?"
Viewtiful Rekk (10:27:57 PM): "YOU CAN GO STRAIGHT TO HELL!"
Sinisquirrel (10:28:08 PM): "... ... ... ..." That was... awkward.
kwikkidus (10:28:28 PM): "Ahh, Amado?" He turns back towards the boy. "Oh, you're here... You may as well stay and watch. This should bean interesting duel."
kwikkidus (10:28:38 PM): "While we're on the subject... I think I'll make the first move." he draws six cards.
Viewtiful Rekk (10:28:49 PM): "Hrmph." Jin draws five.
Y Ruler of Time (10:28:59 PM): "....." Alex looks at the crazy Red student with Lily, then at Flunky, then back.
Viewtiful Rekk (10:29:05 PM): "KICK HIS LYIN' ASS, HONJOU!" "Shut up, Tsukayama."
kwikkidus (10:29:05 PM): "For starters, I activate the spell card Gold Sarcophagus. Are you familiar with the effect?"
Y Ruler of Time (10:29:14 PM): "You...took girl advice from Eon Flunky?"
Viewtiful Rekk (10:29:15 PM): "Yes, I am."
kwikkidus (10:29:38 PM): "Then you'll be pleased to know that I've selected to remove Necroface from play.
Viewtiful Rekk (10:29:41 PM): "...Yeah, I guess."
TheGymRat38 (10:29:56 PM): A certain blond was apparently attracted away from pursuing a duelist who refused to duel her (on account of threatening his life) by hearing Amado's shouts.
Y Ruler of Time (10:29:56 PM): "...Hehehehe..." he turns back to the duel.
Viewtiful Rekk (10:30:01 PM): "Removing five cards from both our decks from the game." Jin takes his top five cards.
Sinisquirrel (10:30:03 PM): "... ... I suppose there could be worse..."
kwikkidus (10:30:06 PM): "This, in turn..." He points to his deck. "Yes, exactly.
TheGymRat38 (10:30:09 PM): "Tsukuyama took advice from the Pervert Thief?"
Sinisquirrel (10:30:30 PM): "Her, for example." Points.
kwikkidus (10:30:36 PM): "The next card I will play is a spell card known as Dark World Dealings. We both draw one new card."
Viewtiful Rekk (10:30:47 PM): Wrath of the Normal, Divine Rotation, Honest, Giant Trunade, Miraculous Descent,
kwikkidus (10:30:53 PM): "Then... we must both discard one from our hands to the grave."
TheGymRat38 (10:30:55 PM): "What's wrong with me?"
Viewtiful Rekk (10:30:57 PM): "Draw."
Sinisquirrel (10:31:12 PM): "It's nothing."
kwikkidus (10:31:15 PM): Helios the Primordial sun, Morphing Jar 2, DDWL, Chaos End, Soul Release.
kwikkidus (10:31:27 PM): "I will be discarding my Chaosrider Gustaph."
Viewtiful Rekk (10:32:01 PM): He discards Goddess of Light - Tethys.
TheGymRat38 (10:32:10 PM): The blond scowls, but returns to the duel and adjusts the bandages covering her torso.
kwikkidus (10:32:25 PM): "Now then. Soul Release!
kwikkidus (10:32:54 PM): "Using this card's effect... I can remove Tethys right from the game, along with the three cards in my graveyard."
Viewtiful Rekk (10:33:00 PM): "Fine."
kwikkidus (10:33:15 PM): "Unfortunately... I can only set a defender and end my turn from here."
Viewtiful Rekk (10:33:25 PM): "Draw."
Viewtiful Rekk (10:34:05 PM): "Set three cards face down and summon Honest." (1100/1900)
Viewtiful Rekk (10:34:56 PM): "Honest, strike the defender! Wing Rush!"
Viewtiful Rekk (10:35:10 PM): Honest flaps its wings, shooting feathers at the defending monster.
kwikkidus (10:35:13 PM): "Bad move." The defender appears... and it's a massive snakelike demon.
kwikkidus (10:35:22 PM): "GREN MAJU DA EIZA, COME ON DOWN!" (3600/3600)
Viewtiful Rekk (10:35:51 PM): (5500)
Viewtiful Rekk (10:36:18 PM): "During my Main Phase 2, I activate Honest's effect."
Viewtiful Rekk (10:36:29 PM): The angel takes flight and shoots back to Jin's hand.
kwikkidus (10:36:29 PM): "Letting it live to fight another day, eh?"
Viewtiful Rekk (10:36:37 PM): "Go."
kwikkidus (10:36:51 PM): "Draw."
kwikkidus (10:37:20 PM): Eon grins. "Are you ready for round two? 'Cause I sure am!"
Viewtiful Rekk (10:37:45 PM): "Are you going to be speaking in this obnoxious manner the entire match?"
Viewtiful Rekk (10:37:55 PM): "I may just put on my headphones if you do."
kwikkidus (10:38:16 PM): "So says the guy who's losing this badly one round in. Spell card - Excavation from the Different Dimension."
kwikkidus (10:38:19 PM): (7000)
kwikkidus (10:38:38 PM): "For the cost of 1000 life pointts, two cards come back to my hand."
Viewtiful Rekk (10:39:38 PM): "Decreasing Gren Maju's attack."
kwikkidus (10:39:43 PM): "The first is Chaosrider Gustaph. The second is Different Dimension Warrior Lady." (2800)
kwikkidus (10:40:11 PM): "Now then... I summon Chaosrider Gustaph to the field." (1400/1500)
kwikkidus (10:41:15 PM): "Gustaph then activates its effect... allowing me to remove both spell cards in my graveyard from play." (3600/3600) (2000/1500)
kwikkidus (10:41:32 PM): "Gustaph will then attack your life points directly."
Sinisquirrel (10:41:40 PM): "... he's certainly doing much better now than then..." Lily mutters.
Viewtiful Rekk (10:41:46 PM): "Trap Card - Miraculous Descent."
kwikkidus (10:42:21 PM): "...Hnn?"
Viewtiful Rekk (10:42:22 PM): "I special summon Goddess of Light - Tethys from my out of play zone." The goddess of light appears and looks disdainfully at the cycle rider. (2400/1800)
kwikkidus (10:42:28 PM): "Oh, I see..."
kwikkidus (10:42:40 PM): He thinks for a moment. "I suppose I'll leave it at that, then.
Viewtiful Rekk (10:42:53 PM): "You're done, then?"
kwikkidus (10:42:58 PM): "For now."
Viewtiful Rekk (10:43:20 PM): "Wow...not only did Tethys route Gustaph, but he knows that he's got Honest, so he can't recklessly attack..."
Viewtiful Rekk (10:43:29 PM): Amado frowns. "...those two are pretty darn skilled."
Viewtiful Rekk (10:43:34 PM): "Draw!"
TheGymRat38 (10:44:09 PM): "Honest can be played even if angel boy attacks Tsukuyama."
Y Ruler of Time (10:44:34 PM): "Wow, that's what he just said. Good job, 'Iceland'."
TheGymRat38 (10:45:21 PM): "No, he was saying Honest was preventing the Pervert Thief from attacking because of the risk. There's a difference."
TheGymRat38 (10:45:24 PM): She glares at the nerd.
Viewtiful Rekk (10:45:52 PM): "Set one reverse. Tethys attacks Gustaph!"
Y Ruler of Time (10:46:03 PM): "...I think you're having trouble with the Japanese language. 'Iceland.' "
Viewtiful Rekk (10:46:21 PM): "Shaddap the both of yas!"
TheGymRat38 (10:46:23 PM): "Its not your native language either Glasses!"
kwikkidus (10:46:24 PM): Destroying it, of course. (6600)
Sinisquirrel (10:46:39 PM): "..." Sigh.
Viewtiful Rekk (10:46:56 PM): "End turn."
kwikkidus (10:47:00 PM): "Draw."
kwikkidus (10:47:12 PM): "I summon Twilight Assassin."
Viewtiful Rekk (10:47:24 PM): "..tch.'
kwikkidus (10:47:29 PM): "Since Honest is useless if I ignore your monsters... I'll attack directly. GO!"
kwikkidus (10:47:35 PM): (700/600)
Viewtiful Rekk (10:47:58 PM): "Ngh!" Jin is cut by the monster. Really starting to hate that thing... (4800)
kwikkidus (10:48:18 PM): "Then, it removes itself from play... boosting my Gren Maju even higher." (4000/4000)
kwikkidus (10:48:28 PM): "But that, as they say, makes it your move.
Viewtiful Rekk (10:48:40 PM): "Draw!"
Viewtiful Rekk (10:49:58 PM): "To hell with this...I play Rescue Light!" (4000)
kwikkidus (10:50:23 PM): "...Eh?"
Viewtiful Rekk (10:50:30 PM): "At the cost of 800 points, this lets me retrieve a LIGHT-attribute monster I have removed from play!" Honest glows and shoots back to his hand.
kwikkidus (10:50:45 PM): "I see..." Eyebrow quirk. "Intriguing."
Viewtiful Rekk (10:50:50 PM): "Summon - Honest!" (1100/1900)
Viewtiful Rekk (10:51:09 PM): "Tethys attacks Gren Maju Da Eiza! And I discard Honest when she attacks!"
Viewtiful Rekk (10:51:57 PM): "Magic of the Light Goddess!" (6800/1800) Tethys shoots a burst of light at Gren Maju.
kwikkidus (10:52:18 PM): The demon is disintegrated by said bolt of light. "Well done, Jin... You've destroyed one of them."
Viewtiful Rekk (10:52:28 PM): "Honest, direct attack!"
Viewtiful Rekk (10:52:37 PM): Honest fires a volley of feathers down at Eon.
kwikkidus (10:53:33 PM): (5500)
Viewtiful Rekk (10:54:24 PM): "Main Phase 2!" Honest shoots back to Jin's hand.
Viewtiful Rekk (10:54:44 PM): "End turn."
kwikkidus (10:54:46 PM): "Draw.
Y Ruler of Time (10:55:08 PM): "Hmph...regardless of how easily Eon can use multiple copies of Gren Maju Da Eiza, and regardless of Twilight Assassin and Necroface...Jin has a strong advantage at the moment..."
kwikkidus (10:55:32 PM): "One card facedown, one defender, and my Assassin returns!"
TheGymRat38 (10:55:55 PM): "It certainly does seem to be an even battle so far..."
kwikkidus (10:58:34 PM): "Assassin to defense mode. Turn end."
Viewtiful Rekk (10:59:19 PM): "Draw!"
Viewtiful Rekk (10:59:52 PM): He shows his draw. "Swift Angel Hermes! By Tethys's effect, I draw again!"
kwikkidus (11:00:08 PM): "Mn... I see."
Viewtiful Rekk (11:01:40 PM): "Summon Swift Angel Hermes!" (1600/1000) A brown-haired angel with a bow in hand appears.
Viewtiful Rekk (11:02:34 PM): "Hermes, attack the Assassin! Palutena's Arrow!"
Viewtiful Rekk (11:02:52 PM): Hermes fires several blue arrows at the assassin.
kwikkidus (11:03:28 PM): "And it is... destroyed, of course.'
Viewtiful Rekk (11:04:04 PM): "Tethys, direct attack!"
kwikkidus (11:04:11 PM): "...Through my defender?"
Viewtiful Rekk (11:04:55 PM): "Tethys, the defense!"
kwikkidus (11:05:22 PM): "...Im disappointed, honestly..." D.D. Warrior lady appears. "Remove both monsters from play!"
Viewtiful Rekk (11:08:12 PM): Tethys is removed.
Viewtiful Rekk (11:08:48 PM): "Go."
kwikkidus (11:08:51 PM): "You really should have seen that coming, Jin. I only showed you the card... Draw."
Viewtiful Rekk (11:09:26 PM): "Don't talk down to me."
kwikkidus (11:09:33 PM): "I will start with a simple reverse card. Then, I set one monster in defense mode..."
kwikkidus (11:09:38 PM): He grins. "That makes it... your move."
Viewtiful Rekk (11:10:16 PM): "Draw."
Viewtiful Rekk (11:10:51 PM): He points at Hermes. "Second Summon."
Y Ruler of Time (11:10:58 PM): (it's happened so much it's not even funny to me anymore)
kwikkidus (11:11:03 PM): "...Oh?"
Viewtiful Rekk (11:11:41 PM): "I activate Hermes's effect, removing the Honest in my grave from play to add an angel of an equal or lower level to my hand."
kwikkidus (11:11:50 PM): "In other words... another Honest."
Viewtiful Rekk (11:12:58 PM): "End turn."
kwikkidus (11:13:03 PM): "Draw."
kwikkidus (11:13:39 PM): "I can't allow Hermes to stay on the field you know. So... I summon Bazoo the Soul Eater."
Viewtiful Rekk (11:14:02 PM): "Am I supposed to be afraid?"
kwikkidus (11:14:16 PM): "Yes. Yes you are. Is it working?"
Viewtiful Rekk (11:14:37 PM): "Just make your move."
kwikkidus (11:14:54 PM): "Very well. I remove all three of the monsters in my graveyard from the game, boosting my Bazoo's attack points to 2500.
kwikkidus (11:15:38 PM): "...Spell card. Lightning Vortex." Grin.
Viewtiful Rekk (11:16:00 PM): "...you're truly a king of fools.
kwikkidus (11:16:09 PM): "Am I? By discarding Duo Megistus I can destroy your monster."
Viewtiful Rekk (11:16:21 PM): Wires of light shoot up and strike at all the lightning bolts before they can hit Hermes.
Viewtiful Rekk (11:16:27 PM): "Counter Trap - Synthetic Defender."
kwikkidus (11:16:39 PM): "Counter-counter trap. Dark Bribe."
Viewtiful Rekk (11:16:56 PM): Jin draws 1. Hermes is destroyed.
kwikkidus (11:16:58 PM): "If I'm a fool... That means you fell into a fool's trap."
kwikkidus (11:17:09 PM): "Bazoo! Attack directly!"
Y Ruler of Time (11:17:28 PM): "You know, I can't tell whose comebacks are more self-demeaning."
Viewtiful Rekk (11:17:55 PM): "Nnngh!" (1500)
Sinisquirrel (11:17:55 PM): "It is rather reminiscent of... some anime or other..."
Viewtiful Rekk (11:18:09 PM): Dammit...I won't be beaten by this no-talent thief...!
kwikkidus (11:18:16 PM): "Turn end. Now, come on... Jin. I want to see if you can."
TheGymRat38 (11:18:17 PM): "I say its the Pervert Thief on the basis that I dislike him more."
Viewtiful Rekk (11:18:46 PM): "Shut your damn mouth, Flunky!" Jin tears the top card from his deck.
Viewtiful Rekk (11:19:17 PM): He slams his drawn card into his disk. "I play Divine Gift! By removing Covering Angel Sachiel from play, this lets me draw twice!"
kwikkidus (11:21:00 PM): "I see... Now what?"
Viewtiful Rekk (11:21:48 PM): "Spell Card - Monster Reborn!" Hermes appears again. (1600/1000)
Viewtiful Rekk (11:22:27 PM): "Summon - Bountifaul Artemis!" (1600/1700)
Viewtiful Rekk (11:23:13 PM): "Two cards face down! End turn!"
kwikkidus (11:23:19 PM): "Draw."
kwikkidus (11:23:55 PM): "Bazoo shall move to defensive mode. That is enough for this turn. After all... you can't attack."
Viewtiful Rekk (11:24:01 PM): "Draw!"
Viewtiful Rekk (11:25:09 PM): "Set one reverse. Go."
kwikkidus (11:25:16 PM): "Draw..."
kwikkidus (11:25:33 PM): "Come on now, Jin! You've got all you need! I summon Card Trooper in defense mode!"
Y Ruler of Time (11:25:35 PM): "Exciting standoff, huh?" chin in hand.
Viewtiful Rekk (11:25:54 PM): "Shut the hell up!"
kwikkidus (11:26:18 PM): "When activated, he lets me shove my top three cards... right to the grave! But!" A pause. "...I don't want to use it like that today. Turn end."
Viewtiful Rekk (11:26:25 PM): "Draw!"
kwikkidus (11:26:46 PM): (Bazoo and Card Trooper, defense. One reverse, one defender.)
Sinisquirrel (11:28:04 PM): "You really shouldn't antagonize him, Hawkeye-san..."
Viewtiful Rekk (11:28:14 PM): "Summon White Dancer!" (1100/1500)
Viewtiful Rekk (11:28:52 PM): "White Dancer attacks Bazoo!"
kwikkidus (11:29:09 PM): "And Bazoo is..." Pause. "Destroyed." the final word comes complete with a grin.
Viewtiful Rekk (11:29:24 PM): "Artemis, the Gunner!"
kwikkidus (11:29:35 PM): "It too is destroyed... And I draw."
Viewtiful Rekk (11:30:02 PM): "Hermes, the set!"
kwikkidus (11:30:18 PM): "...Necroface, however..." (1200/1800)
Viewtiful Rekk (11:30:56 PM): Jin frowns. "...I..."
kwikkidus (11:31:02 PM): "Discard honest?"
Viewtiful Rekk (11:31:31 PM): Hermes plows through Necroface. (2800/1000)
kwikkidus (11:31:46 PM): "And so it comes to this... My field is clear and I have but one reverse card."
kwikkidus (11:31:54 PM): "...Perfect."
Viewtiful Rekk (11:32:06 PM): "What on Earth are you talking about?"
Y Ruler of Time (11:32:20 PM): "...Return?"
kwikkidus (11:32:26 PM): "I'm seeing about making some luck of my own. That's all."
Viewtiful Rekk (11:32:57 PM): "Tch."
Viewtiful Rekk (11:33:06 PM): "Luck favors the skilled."
Viewtiful Rekk (11:33:07 PM): "Go."
kwikkidus (11:33:13 PM): "Draw."
TheGymRat38 (11:33:28 PM): "Its smarter to be lucky than its lucky to be smart..."
kwikkidus (11:33:57 PM): "...Here goes. I activate Soul Release. This will remove every crd in my graveyard, save one of course."
kwikkidus (11:34:16 PM): "For the moment... I will keep Vortex in my grave."
Y Ruler of Time (11:34:22 PM): "Heh, including Necroface, though."
Viewtiful Rekk (11:34:23 PM): "Fine."
kwikkidus (11:34:36 PM): "Mn."
kwikkidus (11:35:24 PM): "Mad Reloader, Gustaph, Card Destruction,Mystical Space Typhoon, and Return from the Different Dimension...Well, there's no return from where they're going."
Viewtiful Rekk (11:35:42 PM): Light's Rejection, Soul Absorption, Van'Dalgyon the Dark Dragon Lord, Harvest Angel of Wisdom, Athena,
Viewtiful Rekk (11:36:02 PM): ...Those would've been useful cards...
kwikkidus (11:36:22 PM): "One defender... and my turn must end, I'm afraid. You know, it's surprising... I haven't seen ANY of my big name cards since turn one of the duel."
kwikkidus (11:36:28 PM): "That means in this latter half... the advantage is mine.
Viewtiful Rekk (11:36:57 PM): "This duel will be ending before that. Draw."
Y Ruler of Time (11:37:01 PM): "Tch..."
Y Ruler of Time (11:37:43 PM): 'Nice bluff, Flunky...unless you're talking about some spell. I know damn well that Gren is your ace card.'
Viewtiful Rekk (11:39:29 PM): "I Second Summon Hermes and use his effect."
Viewtiful Rekk (11:39:47 PM): The Honest in his grave evaporates and another is added to his hand.
kwikkidus (11:40:01 PM): "Your last Honest..."
kwikkidus (11:40:07 PM): "Honestly, I'm not surprised." Shrug.
Y Ruler of Time (11:40:29 PM): "....Ugh, I'm going to stop hanging around Angel-users if people keep making these jokes."
Viewtiful Rekk (11:41:10 PM): Hermes begins glowing. "...I apologize to you Hermes."
Viewtiful Rekk (11:41:21 PM): "Go, Light of God!" Hermes shoots at the defending monster.
kwikkidus (11:41:29 PM): "Who of what?"
Viewtiful Rekk (11:41:58 PM): "I remove one Angel on my field to remove one monster on your field from play and discard one card in your hand at random."
kwikkidus (11:42:23 PM): "...I see..." Both Banisher of the light and Twilight Assassin are dealt with in short order. "Hah. It is true, then."
Viewtiful Rekk (11:42:31 PM): "...What is?"
kwikkidus (11:42:52 PM): "Mn... just a theory of mine." He runs ahand through his hair. "When you're backed in a corner... you start dueling better. Most duelists do."
kwikkidus (11:43:22 PM): "I've been noticing it more and more lately... especially during this tournament in particular."
Y Ruler of Time (11:43:22 PM): "Who the hell says it's your theory!? People have been saying that for frikkin' decades!"
Sinisquirrel (11:43:25 PM): "..." Oh, no. It's 'a talk.'
Viewtiful Rekk (11:43:29 PM): "What is that, some backhanded compliment?!"
Viewtiful Rekk (11:43:39 PM): "Artemis! White Dancer! Direct attack!"
kwikkidus (11:43:54 PM): "Well you can't deny you were totally outplayed the first half of the D--" (2800) "..uel..."
Viewtiful Rekk (11:44:42 PM): "Set a reverse. Go."
kwikkidus (11:44:46 PM): "Draw."
kwikkidus (11:45:04 PM): "...Moh. As expected. I activate Soul Absorption."
kwikkidus (11:45:14 PM): "Turn end."
TheGymRat38 (11:45:23 PM): "I like it when the Pervert Thief gets smacked around. Anybody else enjoy that?"
TheGymRat38 (11:45:26 PM): She looks around.
Viewtiful Rekk (11:45:31 PM): "Draw!"
Y Ruler of Time (11:45:35 PM): "...A little."
Viewtiful Rekk (11:47:15 PM): "Cyber Vary!" A serepent-like machine appears and hisses. (0/0)
Viewtiful Rekk (11:47:54 PM): "I activate Cyber Vary's final effect! By removing it and one card in my hand from play, I can take one card in my grave and place it on top of my deck!" Cyber Vary and Glimmer of Hope evaporate.
kwikkidus (11:48:05 PM): "I see... And your card is?"
Viewtiful Rekk (11:48:35 PM): Miraculous Descent shoots from Jin's graveyard and on to his deck.
Viewtiful Rekk (11:50:20 PM): "White Dancer, Artemis, direct attacks!"
kwikkidus (11:50:45 PM): (2700) "Artemis... meet Dimensional Prison! Remove it from play!"
Viewtiful Rekk (11:52:39 PM): "You lose."
Viewtiful Rekk (11:52:42 PM): "Go, Dark Bribe!"
kwikkidus (11:52:48 PM): "Do I?" He draws his card.
kwikkidus (11:52:58 PM): (1100)
Viewtiful Rekk (11:53:06 PM): Artemis and White Dancer evaporate.
Sinisquirrel (11:53:28 PM): "Ah...!"
kwikkidus (11:53:34 PM): "Mn.." Grin.
Viewtiful Rekk (11:53:35 PM): "When I successfully activate a Counter Trap, I can special summon this monster from my hand..."
Viewtiful Rekk (11:53:40 PM): "COME FORTH, VOLTANIS THE ADJUDICATOR!"
Y Ruler of Time (11:53:53 PM): "...!"
TheGymRat38 (11:54:13 PM): "Hahahaha, Voltanis! How perfect, I like angel boy's style!"
Viewtiful Rekk (11:55:02 PM): Ice shoots out from the ground along the field. A purple-armored angel with a staff in hand shoots up from the ice. (2800/1400)
Viewtiful Rekk (11:55:26 PM): "This is my ace card, Flunky...FEEL ALL OF ITS POWER!"
Viewtiful Rekk (11:55:56 PM): ADJUDICATOR'S REIGN!" Voltanis brings up his staff and points it at Eon. All of the ice lifts up from the ground and flies at Eon.
kwikkidus (11:56:01 PM): Eon looks up at the angel, the grin finally falling. "Somehow, I just knew it was going to be ice today."
kwikkidus (11:56:10 PM): ((0000))
Y Ruler of Time (11:56:48 PM): "...It's really quite amazing how he figures out he's going to lose."
Viewtiful Rekk (11:56:59 PM): Jin looks up at Voltanis for a moment, before it evaporates, as do the rest of the cards on Jin's field.
TheGymRat38 (11:57:19 PM): "What a worthless talent..."
Viewtiful Rekk (11:57:23 PM): His Dis-Belt glows for a moment, and he wobbles, but stays on his feet.
Viewtiful Rekk (11:57:31 PM): Only 1500 points....god, what a waste of time...
kwikkidus (11:57:37 PM): As does Eon's Soul Absorption. "Well, I saw all I needed to see here... Most of it, anyways."
kwikkidus (11:57:53 PM): "Thanks for revealing your hand, Jin. Guess I should reveal mine now, ne?"
Viewtiful Rekk (11:57:54 PM): "Stop acting like you had some kind of purpose for this."
Y Ruler of Time (11:58:11 PM): Alex walks over to Eon. "Alright, Flunky. Jin looks kinda stressed, so how about you spill what you know?"
kwikkidus (11:58:35 PM): Eon jabs a thumb at Amado. "It's really a good thing he came along. See, I was lounging in the forest earlier this morning, and Gaius just happened to be there. Amado too. They were fighting, so I'd recommend you ask him."
Sinisquirrel (11:58:58 PM): Lily, meanwhile, walks over to Jin. There was another reason they'd dueled?
Viewtiful Rekk (11:59:16 PM): "...eh?"
kwikkidus (11:59:17 PM): He then looks at his Dis-Belt. "It is ashame though... I was thinking I could beat 100,000 with this duel. Ohwell, maybe by the end of the day."
Y Ruler of Time (11:59:18 PM): "..." Alex looks at Amado. "How the hell is that 'privileged' information!?"
kwikkidus (11:59:35 PM): "Because you didn't know it, and now you do." He waggles a finger at Alex. "Na. No. Ne?"
Viewtiful Rekk (11:59:39 PM): "You were only going to tell us what Tsukayama could tell us anyway!?"
Y Ruler of Time (11:59:50 PM): "THAT'S NOT THE DEFINITION OF PRIVILEGED!"
Viewtiful Rekk (11:59:50 PM): "I'm kicking your ass!"
TheGymRat38 (12:00:00 AM): "That's hilarious!"
Viewtiful Rekk (12:00:10 AM): Jin immediately starts across the field towards Eon.
Sinisquirrel (12:00:18 AM): "Jin-san, please, don't waste your--" Pause. Sigh.
kwikkidus (12:00:57 AM): "...Huh..." Eon takes a few steps backward,before hopping backward onto the stone thingy right in the center of the road. You remember the one. "I'm not sure you can reach me."
Viewtiful Rekk (12:04:01 AM): "...Alexander."
Viewtiful Rekk (12:04:05 AM): "Can I stand on your shoulders?"
Y Ruler of Time (12:04:11 AM): "..."
Y Ruler of Time (12:04:51 AM): Alex kneels and cups his hands. "No, but I'll still help you get him."
Viewtiful Rekk (12:05:05 AM): "..."
kwikkidus (12:05:09 AM): "Maybe you shouldn't get so into these duels... They seem to really tire you people out."
Viewtiful Rekk (12:05:14 AM): Jin takes off his shoes and stands on Alex's hands.
Y Ruler of Time (12:05:31 AM): Alex boosts him up, somewhat awkwardly.
Sinisquirrel (12:05:32 AM): "Really, I don't think that's necessary..."
Viewtiful Rekk (12:06:01 AM): Jin KICKS at Eon's gut.
kwikkidus (12:07:05 AM): Eon takes a small step, dropping down and giving him a 'monumental' amount of cover against the aforementioned kick.
kwikkidus (12:07:32 AM): "If you want to beat me so bad... Do it in the tournament. If you can last that long, ne?"
Viewtiful Rekk (12:07:36 AM): Jin awkwardly steps on to the monument to get off of Alex's hands. "..."
Viewtiful Rekk (12:07:42 AM): "I just DID beat you!"
kwikkidus (12:07:58 AM): "Did you, now? From where I'm standing, only one of us has qualified for the finals."
Y Ruler of Time (12:08:15 AM): Alex promptly collapses on the ground. "Ugha!" he shakes his hands. "Okay...I'm beginning to see Polyxena's point of view..."
Viewtiful Rekk (12:08:39 AM): "..." Jin shakes his head. "FINE. I'll beat you in this stupid tournament."
kwikkidus (12:08:55 AM): "Yes... I suppose you'll have a bit more dueling to do first, though."
Viewtiful Rekk (12:09:05 AM): Jin leaps down and starts putting on his shoes again. As he does this, Ohka growls at him.
Viewtiful Rekk (12:09:30 AM): "...I'm not going to break the goddamn monument..." Ohka 'hrmphs'.
kwikkidus (12:10:29 AM): "As for me... I suppose it's back to the grind. I really do want to get to 100,000 before the tournament begins,ne?" He gives a little wave to Lily. "That reminds me. I need to talk with you later, alright?"
Sinisquirrel (12:11:07 AM): "... what?"
Viewtiful Rekk (12:11:31 AM): "..." He frowns deeply. "Dunno what she sees in him...." He growls lowly enough so that only Alex will hear.
Y Ruler of Time (12:11:44 AM): "White hair?"
TheGymRat38 (12:11:52 AM): "Red eyes?"
kwikkidus (12:12:00 AM): "Like I said. Talk later. Not now. I'd prefer it were a.. surprise, ne?"
Viewtiful Rekk (12:12:05 AM): "Black Dragon?"
Y Ruler of Time (12:12:19 AM): "..." Odd look at Amado.
TheGymRat38 (12:12:29 AM): "..." Odd glare at Amado.
Viewtiful Rekk (12:12:34 AM): "...what, she said Red-Eyes!"
Sinisquirrel (12:12:36 AM): "... ... ..." Oh, that does not go over very well. Positively seething stare.
TheGymRat38 (12:13:10 AM): "His eyeballs! They're red you idiot!"
kwikkidus (12:13:11 AM): He sighs, feigning annoyance as he makes a 'oh wht am I going to DO with you' gesture. "Fine. I'll PDA you the details."
Sinisquirrel (12:13:41 AM): "... fine."
kwikkidus (12:14:08 AM): "Well... As much as I'd love to stay andchat I'm afraid I didn't apply my sunscreen this morning. I'm afraid Isimply must be off... Ja."
