[MOD] Opening Mingle Post!
[You've woken up somewhere unexpected.
Maybe you don't realize it until you've looked out your window, since your apartment's the same, or poked your head out into the hallway. Maybe you've found yourself in a world you've never seen before - or else, one that looks just like home. But whatever the circumstances, it can't be denied: once again, someone's having a good laugh at your expense.
Should you venture into the lobby of a certain apartment complex, however, you'll find a banquet of breakfast treats laid out by unseen caterers. There's meats, eggs, pastries, rice, more pastries, yogurt, various juices, mimosas for those of age, still more pastries...
What can I say? Lots of you are Bakurae.
Enjoy the spread! But be careful. Four kinds of food spark a day-long event in your head.
Turkey sausage: Can't talk turkey! You're incapable of lying.
Cherry danish: Couldn't be sweeter! You'll crush on the first person you see after eating it.
Hot chocolate: Take it easy! You'll find yourself relaxing, taking life in stride.
Tabasco sauce: Fired up! You're full of energy and ready to explore.
Apparently you all aren't off the hook juuuuust yet.]
[[ooc: aaaand we're OPEN! Feel free to thread out mingling at the buffet in the comments below or posting for your characters anywhere within any of the various worlds. There's no set place where characters have to appear in the setting - if Amaryllis wanted to appear in Ancient Egypt, so be it, though there'll be a door nearby for those in branch worlds to return to the main one. This post is just for the buffet in the lobby, however, so if you want to start elsewhere just put up a post!
Please tag both entries you create and entries you comment into with the appropriate character tag. <3 I think I've created them for juuuust about everyone - and if I missed some of the later additions, everyone should have the ability to create tags.
LET'S DO THIS, PEOPLE.]]

no subject
[Ah, the days when time mattered. He remembers those without missing them.]
Then perhaps explore a bit. The time is yours to use as you please. And when last I checked, everything was free.
no subject
[-oh right, if they're "supposed" to be here, this must be for them! So, is it okay to eat? Or, is it a part of this whole claim? Or is Linner wrong or messing with her, and she'll get in trouble?
Look at the girl staring at the food tray, nodding all distracted to his suggestion.]
Right... If I'm stuck in this, city, I want to know what's here. Or how far it goes. Or if there's a way out...
no subject
Anything you want. Loops back on itself. See previous answer.
Let me know if I'm right once you return, all right?
no subject
Sure, no problem... [Either it's not true and she'll be going back and not worrying, or. Ha. Well. Or.
(Someone needs anxiety food.)]
-I don't know how you can just sit and enjoy it here, though. Especially if things just switched up. Aren't you curious what's out there, too?
no subject
Not much surprises me anymore. Besides, I know I have the time.
[Here, have a donut. He's mostly going for health food himself.]
no subject
[Not that she's following enough to judge any of this... That donut isn't even getting proper attention. (Sorry, enabler.) Nope, she's too busy giving Linner her "personal" stare, all suspicious concern.]
Are you really just, staying here? If, I just got here, other people might show up, too. And in a place like you're talking about... How long have you been here?
no subject
[He waves a fork at her.]
For simplicity's sake, I'll just say "years". Though it's never had much outside before. I'm impressed!
no subject
[Linner. Waving pointy things. While implying getting locked up somewhere, for years.
In any form? Not nice.
But, once she's done eying and pursing her lips, she'll tread out a certain point-]
Then, aren't you, impatient to see what's out there? I don't know what I'd do, cooped up in one spot that long...
no subject
There's someone I'm waiting to find. Dunno if she came along or not. But if she has, she'll make her way here.
Exploring won't be the same without her. She doesn't much care for cooping herself.
[And he gives you his most charming smile.]
no subject
Ah, I hope you find her, then.
I'm going to miss people too, but to go through a loss a second time, here... That sounds rough.
[Whoops, someone's sliding into believing again. (And wondering about this making friends he mentioned, her observation in mind...)]
no subject
At least here you know they go back where they belong.
[Though your future, that he knows of, kind of sucks. And he's about to die in his.
It's one of the reasons he's so glad to have older you with him.]
And there's plenty of meetings. Speaking of!
[He gives a little bow.]
Marik Ishtar. One of many. The others anger easily, though, so if they yell at you then they're not me.
I blame mkr rewatchimg for that intro
[It's tough to consider where "they belong" might be, from this uncertain view. Another part of the world? Another time? What's he claiming, exactly?
But she's knocked out of questions by the habit of answer, bowing at the waist even as she's making a "-whaaaat?" at the "many" claim.]
Ah... Akino Seiran, tenth grade, nice to meet you.
And... Is there, any good way to avoid that happening?
oooh, you have kept it up? *-*
He chuckles.]
Same to you! And I'm afraid there isn't. You never know what'll set them off.
It's all right, though. They'll like you anyway. Trust me.
let's say kept attempting. xD; Give me movie time, life--
I guess you'd know, if it's you...
[Geh, still weird. And her donut's gone somewhere, so she's wiping hands clean and grabbing plates.]
But, while I am here, this is a city. I should see what shops are out there. Maybe I can even take back a souvenir. Domino's supposed to have some great game parks, right?
I've been listening to shows while drawing, myself.
Fabulous, from what I hear. Check the Kame Game Shop too, it's a winner. Loads of old esoteric stuff.
I always wanted to make it there myself....
Oooh-- That's productive time, right there.
I, haven't had much chance, to see anything like that in a while. Mostly cards and new releases...
You play games, too?
so far so good!
Though my friend's been showing me all sorts of things. [A shrug.] I excel at losing.
=D And I'm starting ep 4. THIS IS ACCOMPLISHMENT.
-you're a duelist?
[Forget the rest of it, that's getting a grin right there!]
W-well, if I'm going to be stuck in some unreal city, the game's here, too! And you play together, with this missing friend?
[Fff- come back, whoever you are!]
EXCELLENT.
[Modest headscratch.]
Most people here do. Including, of course, my friend.
You'd like her.
Count? Ep. 7, with a side of "what's the manga canon again?"
[No tournaments (in DM) yet, here. But, forget trudging in that fact, this guy just said, a city of dueling.
As expected, from Domino!]
Then, if I come back here, would you introduce us?
Not that, that's for certain! XD
It'd be my pleasure. I've a feeling you would get along.
Just a hunch.
whoopsie! (oh, what am I saying. season two?)
Ah, I'll make certain to find you again, then.
But, I better go see what's out there, right now.
(in the animé's defense i am a sad, sad nova fangirl. yami malik gone shoujo)
Best of luck to you! And take some food for the road.
[A gesture to the spread.]
Courtesy isn't common from this place. Enjoy it!
x3 Naaaah, don't see the connection at all.... And I totally don't embrace Clef/Umi.
-thanks... But, don't pass it on to me, if they run out of food later, okay?
[Some people must stay ignorant, Linner! Even if the gal picking up certain meats and sweets and wrapping them on her walk, doesn't know what of.
That's the point.]
XD I don't really have ships for any of the girls. well, nova/hikaru in a bronzeshippy way.
[And he salutes. Now, where on earth is the you that's the proper age? He'll be awfully lonely without her.]
