[Closed] Cause these days, I'm running on fumes

[phantomforgod]

Who: Yuya & Shun
What: It's time to d-d-d-d-duel!
When: idk I'll figure this out on Yuya's timeline of things later lol
Where: Around the lake of Veles' temple.
Warnings: angry birb probably



[The location of their duel will by the water where Yuya's tied up his small rowboat along an old, wooden dock. He's all for teleporting around, but he's never really had the experience of rowing a boat and it's kind of fun. Besides it's a bit of a workout and that'll help keep him in shape.

So Yuya just waits on the waterfront while laying around in a patch of grass and getting some sun. As much as he DOES want to indulge in an entertainment duel, there's something he wants to confirm. Which means it's time to be serious and NOT give into the temptation of surprising Shun. Hence the sunbathing.

...But being serious can be surprisingly hard. He really needs to take a page from Yuto's book.]

[The footsteps that come through the grass after a little while are surprisingly quiet, and before long, a shadow falls over Yuya's patch of sun. Shun frowning down at him probably isn't a particularly unfamiliar sight, but it's a neutral expression more than anything. Yuya might be the one who wants to check something, but Shun can't say he doesn't want to learn more about whatever the hell's happened here that's made Yuya forget so much.

Depending on how attentive Yuya is, there may be one immediate difference to notice from the Shun he's familiar with - rather than his coat being intact, the bottom of it is shredded and torn, like it's quite literally been dragged through hell.]

I would have thought you'd have better things to do than lie around. [Or bigger things to worry about, at least.]

[phantomforgod]

[The details of Shun's coat doesn't really bring up any alarm bells only because he knows what kind of dueling style he uses. It's not impossible for his clothes to get a little more beat up than usual. Yet, the fact that Shun's calming talking to him is different.]

Doesn't waiting for you count? Besides, I have my own projects going, but that doesn't mean I need to be with them 24/7.

[Yuya finally gets to his feet before he gives Shun a good look. Seems about the same, but...]

Do I have to worry about you being in a rush? [Despite him starting up his duel disk, the phantom's demeanor is so lackadaisical as he spins around and creates some distance between them for their field.] I guess we'll have to get right to it, then. It's not really my style, but some sacrifices must be made.

[revolutionfalcon]

[It's not quite what he meant, but it's also not exactly wrong - Shun wouldn't have appreciated being made to wait after Yuya had been the one to make the proposition. There's a brief huff that could be read as either amused or derisive, or perhaps a little of both.]

It's not like it matters now, anyway.

[Still, he's already a little more alert. It's subtle things, the way Yuya's talking when he twirls and brings out his disk, the things he's focusing on, but there's something...odd there, he thinks. It's no more than suspicion, but there's a confidence there he doesn't recall seeing in Yuya outside of mid-duel.

In any case, he pulls out his own duel disk and arms it, bringing the second inconsistency on his end - his duel disk looks nothing like any duel disk Yuya would be familiar with. Rather than the simple Standard design, it has a particularly large, round screen set a little further up than the rest of the disk, which is a harder rectangular shape than the rounded-edged Standard disk.]

Whether you need to worry about me being in a rush depends on whether you're planning to waste time on words. [Yuya's dueling style of itself involves a certain amount of what he considers wasting time, but that's something he's already accounted for and accepted.]

Hey, I'm not the one who monologues about pain. [Shun can interpret that however he wants, but Yuya's going to continue.] Duel! Let's get this show on the road-- and with it, I'll take the first turn!

[It really sucks that he can't use Action Cards, but the phantom still trusts his deck to carry him through. And after drawing his cards, a confident smile appears as he starts his play:]

I summon Entermate Uni, and with her effect I special summon her partner, Entermate Corn. Now you're really in for some double trouble because I'm not done yet! By activating Corn's ability, UniCorn are switched to defense and I can add one pendulum monster to my hand.

[Hearts, hearts are everywhere! At least Yuya's enjoying himself surrounded by his cute assistants. Although that's really not the point-- he's waiting for Shun's reaction with this replicated play from their duel together.]

I add Odd-Eyes Mirage Dragon and set one card face-down. I'll end my turn there.
