⇨ THE REALM OF DREAMS

[ringleaders]

Who: EVERYONE!
When: S1:D8 - S1:D18
Where: Visiting the Realm of Dreams.
What: The carnival arrives at a new location and has its first performance week with the new cast, as outlined here. This is a general mingling log for convenience purposes, but players are welcome to make as many other logs for this purpose as desired.
Warnings: Could be a lot of things, around these parts.

THE REALM OF DREAMS↴ As the carnival arrives at its first stop since its recruitment phase, and prepares to put its new band of workers to the test. In the meantime, there is a whole new world of dreams and nightmares to be explored, and threats to be faced on carnival turf. As of S1:D11, the carnival will be opening its doors to the creatures within, and the carnival will be open daily from noon to midnight, though the connection to the realm will be constant. This is an all purpose mingle log for the full duration of the stay, so please mark top levels with some estimate of what days they'll be occurring on. Please bring any mod questions to the original plotting post.

[ Chiaki's curled up on the other side of his bed. She hasn't been sleeping much, but it's still early in the week and she's got energy to spare. Especially when a game's involved.

Her ears twitch and she frowns as she looks at her deck. Shuffles some cards around... then places another one down in front of her. ] Okay.

[They both haven't been sleeping much really. Between learning the ropes, drinking coffee and playing games to stay awake, Yuugi usually passes out dead asleep under his dream catcher, which hangs just above the head of his bed. His own ears swivel forward, standing starkly against his hair that was pulled back into a ponytail.]

Then my Silent Swordsman gains another 500 attack points, making his overall attack points 1500, because he's in attack mode.

[waitingforplayer2]

Hmm.

[ She flips her card over - the Amorphage Dragon. And places a defense boost next to him. ]

Your move, right? [ Still getting the hang of this. ]

[toogoodtoopure]

Yup. You're doing great.

[He almost feels a little...well, bad. He knows he shouldn't, in all honesty, because he's sacrificed a lot to get as good as he is. Sacrificed and fought to save the world more than once. Yuugi looks at his field, currently containing Marshmallon and Silent Swordsman, fingers trailing along his cards and picks one.]

Then I summon Red Gadget in attack mode. Silent Swordsman gains another 500 during my standby phase, making his attack power 2000. I'll use him to take out your Amorphage Dragon and attack your life points directly with Marshmallon and Red Gadget.

1/2

[ She bites her lip and looks at the table, and then back to her own hand. ]

Hmm.

[ Give her a minute. ]

[waitingforplayer2]

[ ... No okay she's out of ideas.

A little sigh and she plays the One Day Of Peace card to give her some time to think between rounds.

But she's smiling. ]

Your turn.

[toogoodtoopure]

[He hums and draws his next card, shuffling them around in his hand in thought before looking at her, noticing the smile.]

What's up?

[waitingforplayer2]

Hm?

[ For a moment she's surprised. Did he read her mind somehow?

But then she realizes she's still smiling. Oh. ]

It's... the first time I've been bad at a game before.

[ Not confused, or incompetent. And she's learning, and she's having fun. But she's also just not as good as he is.

And it's kind of a great feeling. ]

[toogoodtoopure]

Well, I wouldn't say you're bad. You just haven't been playing as long as I have. And it was a good move. I've been in a pinch or two where I needed some time.

[Or three or four or...just about any other time. Yuugi toys with the edge of a card, returning her smile.]

To be honest, I'm not used to dealing with this style of dueling anymore. Everything's holographic these days, sometimes it's nice to go back to how it used to be.

[waitingforplayer2]

Mm-- you're right. [ Not bad. But: ] But it's hard. Challenging, I mean. It's kind of a nice feeling... I guess that's a little strange.

[ She leans back on the bed. ] Mm... there's electronic card games. It's a little strange, but I play more of those than real card games, I guess.
