BRAVE NEW WORLD↴ ► THE NEW: It doesn't matter when you entered the tent to discuss your new contract with the Ringmaster, you exit it beneath a blanket of stars. Pointedly alien stars at that - currently the carnival grounds are being treated to a show of shooting stars, and what appear to be unnaturally large and living green moons hanging just a bit too close. The carnival was bustling when you entered, but now it's in the latter stages of being shut down for the night. If you manage to find a clock, it states that it's around 8PM. Workers from during the day will be passing through the grounds, attending to various pieces of business. None of them will seem very surprised or concerned by the goings on, though some may be sympathetic enough to pause and answer your questions. If you put some effort into finding out how it became nighttime, you may discover that it's been anywhere from a few hours to 7 days since you originally signed your contract. Someone may explain to you that it was probably some kind of time bubble, meant to keep you out of the way until the Ringmaster had time to deal with you. Every few minutes another new person will pop out of the tent, looking just as confused and under the impression that they had only just finished discussing things with the Ringmaster. Weird. She passed you a note before you left. Opening it up, you'll see you've been assigned a trailer number, and been given the instructions to drop off any excess belongings and do what you can to get settled in. You have until exactly 9:36PM to do so, because that's when you'll be expected to attend what is listed only as "WORKER'S ORIENTATION". This is, perhaps, more abrupt than you were expecting - but what can you do? You're here for the long haul. ► THE OLD: If you've ever seen a mass recruitment before, then this is no surprise. People enter the tent when they're recruited, and then sometimes how up again days later when the Ringmaster is ready for them. She isn't a big fan of wasting her time on individual orientations when she's expecting a crowd. Maybe you're too jaded to all of this to care much, but you'll see the newbies wandering around, probably confused and maybe a bit lost. Maybe you're the kind whose is sympathetic enough to pause your role in clean up and give them some directions, and maybe a word of confidence. Maybe you'll just jeer at them, because you're some kind of asshole. Either way, you expect you'll have the chance to see them later tonight. Whether by world of mouth, radio, or written note, supervisors will be passing out the following message: all workers are to report to the Cookhouse at 9:36PM sharp for "orientation." If you are at all familiar with how things go around here, you probably have a good idea of what this implies. Mandatory Karaoke Night. MANDATORY KARAOKE NIGHT!!!↴  At 9:36PM, the main dining hall of the Cookhouse will be found heavily decorator with various coloured lights and at least one disco ball made of what is ostensibly high karat gems. There are a bunch of cushions and additional seating set up along with the usual tables, and at the head of the call there is a state set up - a karaoke stage. For veteran workers, this is no surprise. Karaoke nights are fairly frequent as activities go, even if they are not usually mandatory. Some of you probably have signature songs already prepared. The karaoke machine is set up with mostly karaoke tracks that would be popular in the 90's and 00's on the average modern earth, with a few that are more recent. It also has some other random stuff from other worlds that people rarely sing because they are confusing and in languages no one understands. Here is a big karaoke list for your inspiration! The more stereotypically karaoke the better. Beyond that, there is plenty of food and snacks that were prepared by the cooks earlier, as well as a bar set up for alcohol and other vices. The selection is, as most things in the carnival, eclectic. Music will be played in between if nobody is singing, and otherwise veterans are encouraged to bring along their own fun and show the newbies a good time. The Ringmaster does ask that vets attempt to be courteous to their new coworkers. It's just being a good host. |

I, uh, I guess so. But it's better to join in isn't it?
no subject
[ She keeps fiddling with her game. Brings it a little closer to her face, to get through a particularly difficult section. The light from it illuminates her a bit better, including the cat ears atop her head. ]
Hmm... I guess it depends. Did you have fun doing it?
no subject
[And then became immediately terrified again when the music stopped. Pouring his heart into that really hadn't been a good idea. Even with all the times Jounouchi-kun dragged him into things, or the Kaiba Corp Grand Championship, he still wasn't good with crowds. As he shuffles, his nerves calm down, but he keeps doing it in lieu of something to do.
The...ears are a bit startling but then, so were his own when he remembered them. Jackal ears flick against his head, lost in the mass of hair.
Finally, curious enough, he has to ask...]
Is that a Gameboy?
no subject
[ The movement catches her eye. ... Huh. Ears, just like hers, sort of. Presumably from another contract?... ]
It's a Game Girl. [ She shows him -- the words NANTENDO -- GAME GIRL ADVANCE can easily be seen, along with the round of Gala Omega that she's paused on its screen. ] Here -- wanna play a round?
no subject
[His fingers slow down in the shuffling at that, shoulders slacking before she turns the system around. Huh. That's kinda similar... Yuugi looks a bit startled at the offer, then glances down at his deck before holding it out to her.]
Then...want to take a look? I'll teach you how to play if you want.
no subject
[ Oh, his cards distract her. Her eyes widen.
A fellow gamer?... ]
Yeah!! Okay. I don't know card games as well. Gala Omega's pretty basic but it's really fun -- just try to shoot all the spaceships before you get blown up.
no subject
[Kaiba-kun's mobile dueling system had changed a lot of things. There were still stationary ones, but they were mostly confined to arcades unlike Duelist Kingdom. His ears perk forward, curious.]
Like Space Invaders? I used to spend all my pocket money at the arcade...when I got tall enough to reach the controls.
no subject
[ In her excitement, she's turned fully towards him and lost interest entirely in the stage. Somebody hasn't played Gala Omega. This injustice must be fixed. ]
Here, you should definitely play it!! But then teach me how to play your game too, okay?
no subject
Alright. Shouldn't be too hard. I have a pretty good knack when it comes to games...
no subject
She gets the feeling that he'll probably do pretty well. ]
no subject
Yuugi barely notices the score going up or moving levels, despite how absorbed he is, or notices her watching over his shoulder. Either it's on easy setting or it's not that much of a challenge to play console games anymore, it's hard to tell.]
no subject
You must have spent a lot of time at the arcade...!
no subject
Well, I didn't actually go to the arcade that much to start with...it seemed like something people did with friends, plus they wouldn't let me in on account of looking like a ten year old. My grandpa owns a game shop, so he lets me test run a lot of merchandise.
no subject
[ A game shop sounds cool, though! ] So -- all kinds of games? Board games and card games, too?
no subject
[And Mokuba-kun's thugs at that. It had been surprising to learn that the younger Kaiba was the owner of all the high scores, though given the Kaiba's were as into games as he was, it shouldn't have been. He nods, keeping his attention on the console, commenting rather absentmindedly.]
Yep. Consoles too. And sometimes I get asked to promote new games. I guess being King of Games has its advantages...
no subject
Hey... is that something you call yourself?
no subject
[He looks a bit startled when he realises what he said before he laughs slightly.]
Oh! Uh, no it was given to me when I won my first tournament. [Then, sheepish, kicking aside thoughts of the ceremonial duel;] I haven't lost since so I guess it still stands...
no subject
My school called me the Super High School Level Gamer... everybody who went there had an amazing talent. Gaming was mine.
no subject
I'm glad it was just your school. Fame isn't the best, believe me.
no subject
But... I guess it's probably still sort of different from being the King of Games.
[ She's starting to feel a bit better. Maybe this place will be okay, at least a little bit. ] Do you think you'll be at the Gamer's Circle sometimes? I'm working there, apparently.
no subject
[Yuugi's brow furrowed, though he supposed it wasn't as creepy as being watched by thousands during the KCGC. The comment makes him pause the game, looking at her again with his full attention.]
M-me too! [Which is kind of a relief because running all those games... His face brightens, ears perking.] I was a little worried I'd be on my own.
no subject
But apparently, she isn't even going to be the only gamer in the Carnival with funny ears. ] Well, between the King of Games and the Ultimate Gamer, we can probably get things running pretty smoothly!
no subject
[He wasn't really sure what to make of them, considering his previous interactions with spirits, though they hadn't seemed all that bad despite Archer-san's warning. Even if that could be chalked up to actually winning at the games.]
Mmhmm! I'm sure we can. Can't be any harder than running the game shop when grandpa steps out.
no subject
You're Yuugi! [ Okay, now she makes the connection. ] I... I met someone earlier who's supposed to be our supervisor.
no subject
[He flushes a little, embarrassed. Did he bully her into it? No, no he wouldn't have, she offered after all. He scratches his cheek, sheepish.]
Oh, you did?
