⇨ WISMUTH

Who: Everyone!
When: S2:D6-D11
Where: Wismuth and the Carnival Grounds
What: The carnival enjoys a few days in Wismuth, a coastal city on this planet's version of the American east. However, there are a few things very unique about this version of the planet...
Warnings: The usual, wholesome fun.

PILLAR OF CREATION

Upon arriving, things in Wismuth will seem pretty peaceful. It's a massive city, with no shortage of things going on, but things like violent crime and homelessness are at an all time low. You can wander the streets without much scrutiny, presumed to just be tourists, and most people here come across as helpful and friendly.

VIBRANCY: The main thing that sets this planet apart is its vibrancy - AKA, the raw creative energy its filled with, flowing from its status as a Pillar of Creation. There is no literal pillar, but Wismuth and its planet is a place where Creation's energy comes through strongest. As a result, everything here feels somehow more real, more intense in a way that's hard to put a finger on. Life is abundant, and its bleeds through in every sensation.

ATTRACTIONS: There are plenty of things to see while going around the city. First and foremost, there is a lovely beach area bordering the ocean, and a number of tourist aimed attractions built around it. There are giant malls, movie theaters, live stage performances, museums and all kinds of other points of cultural interest. Anything you can do in a big city you can do here, but better.

ALLOWANCES: The Ringmaster will be giving everyone a reasonable amount of local currency for a few days on the town. You can't make any massive acquisitions with it, but it's more than enough to eat out, see some shows, go to the beach, and whatever you like. You can feel free to pick up some casual supplies, like mundane clothing and souvenirs. There will be more given out later, after the performance week.

PERFORMANCE: Performance week is starting early this time, after only a couple days of exploration. When the carnival has already been on vacation for a month, the Ringmaster figures they may as well get right to it, and then do more touring afterwards. Members of the local populace will find themselves in the carnival once performances begin, dazzled by the other worldly sights. Magic doesn't seem to exist here, despite the fact that it will flow easier for people bringing it from other worlds.

And we already know which direction it took him from there.

[Said while glancing further ahead on the pages.]

You know, Reira also said that she wanted Zarc to have a life again like we do, starting over again as a baby. What do you think of that?

I... [He falls silent, staring dully at the photo album. He's mentioned a little bit with Reira, and normally he's willing to forgive others for wrongdoing. But that's assuming they have genuine regret and want to change, and Zarc...]

I think, with me, he was always aware. [He can't speak for the others, if that fifth piece was as active or vocal in them. But Yuya felt it too strongly, himself.] I was happy as Yuya. I am happy. I have my parents, and my friends, and my dueling...

[His grip on the book tightens.] If he saw all of that and still wanted to destroy everything, why would he change this time?

Well if Zarc's coming back like that, I don't think that means he'll remember everything. Besides even if he somehow went through the same... memory flood thing you have going on... what's a tiny kid gonna be able to do with us around and without the dragons backing him up?

[Okay maybe not the most solid reassurance but...]

Anyway it'd be like having a new baby brother to take care of, I think.

The Ringmaster's doing it this time, not the En cards. I don't know how it works with her.

[He could remember everything and become a fucking terror. Yuya, frankly, doesn't look reassured at all.

As for the dragons, he looks at Clear Wing and furrows his brow. Before Zarc's awakening, there was no dispute about their ownership. It only transferred when they lost to each other. Would it stay that way? Were the dragons more bonded to their pieces than to Zarc?

He closes the photo album and offers it back to Yugo.]
Does that mean you're going to adopt him?
bananaspeedrider: (HAAAH...?!)

[personal profile] bananaspeedrider 2018-01-21 06:10 am (UTC)(link)
[At that Yugo sputters and almost doesn't notice that the album's getting handed back to him- which he takes.]

Huh?! Uh... maybe, I dunno. But he'd be your little brother too! You saying you trust me enough for something like that?

[personal profile] hippocarnival 2018-01-21 06:14 am (UTC)(link)
No. [Not that Yuya has a lot more experience, but his faith in Yugo sure doesn't go that far.] Actual adults need to take care of him.

[Except Yuya's the only counterpart with parents, isn't he.]
bananaspeedrider: (Oi...!!!)

[personal profile] bananaspeedrider 2018-01-21 06:28 am (UTC)(link)
Doesn't mean there isn't plenty of reason why we shouldn't shove a kid off onto someone else when there's practically already family for them to stay with.

[Though before he forgets to mention it.]

Also it would help in keeping him away from Yuri, the slimy bastard...

I didn't say that! [Yuya happens to come from a childhood where there were multiple adults around and involved, and it wasn't actually 'teenagers solving everything' until Reiji whisked him along to fight Academia. And probably more qualified than Yugo.]

... If Academia is gone, what do you think Yuri will do? [He's not asking because he expects an actual, unbiased answer from Yugo. And Yuya's not fond of him either, but Yuri won't have anything to return to when their contracts end. Maybe he'll find a place in a new Academia...]
bananaspeedrider: (straight face)

[personal profile] bananaspeedrider 2018-01-21 08:19 am (UTC)(link)
[Yugo blinks at the question, since because he doesn't immediately have an answer and then spares a second of thought before shrugging.]

I dunno, find a way to keep screwing with people probably. Anyone can tell how much he really gets a kick out of it.

[Yuya honestly hardly knew Yuri. They didn't really meet until before that fateful duel, when Yuya was hardly aware of his presence in Synchro. His whole memory is the way Yuri treated his father, and it makes him feel sick again just thinking about it.

Crow had come back, he hazily remembers. So his dad would have to, too, right...?]


I guess there's a lot of things we have to take care of when we go home. Most of them, they probably don't know any better. I'm sure we can show them that dueling isn't a tool for hurting people, and they can be happier with it too.

I'll leave that part to you and everyone else who believes in that guy being able to change.

[Not that Yugo's saying he himself doesn't but...]

Either way I'm positive he's still gonna be an annoying asshole.
