[Event]

[thestudyof]

*so, if you want to come and set up on any of the days listed on Mamoru's original announcement, you can.

Things look about the same, though he's writing something on the side while he waits.

... and he set up a water cooler and a box of donuts if people want to partake in them on the various days, though he's got a clear "limit one per person" sign up too.*

Comments

[autumnswarm]

"...He's participating today, isn't he?"

[thestudyof]

One donut. The water is free to drink as much as you need to.

*getting the clipboard together, and placing it down on a table nearby. It has the agreement form and the specifications for the duel form.*

Fill out the form, please. When you're ready.

[thestudyof]

If I'm lucky, he won't show up today, or another day. But I didn't have the nerve to tell him "no".

Still... he's a spirit that possessed someone, before?

[autumnswarm]

"I think he might smell something to fight and come. You could always tell him you're afraid for your machines...?

He is. If you want to ask about that, you probably could~"

[thestudyof]

... One more question.

What exactly do you feel from that deck?

[autumnswarm]

"Huh? Oh... Regret. Magic I assume that changed your cards. And... an empty feeling? Like... If nothing or void had a feeling, it'd be that."

[thestudyof]

... Just wagering, but... The "empty" feeling... It might be due to this.

*he opens up the holder, and takes out a card.

... it's entirely blank.*

[forgottenfrozenfloe]

::I'm here probably to arrange for myself and if Kai is having a low day for him as well.::

[danse_etoile]

::... I kind of want to take a donut. But it could full of mind control poison. Meanwhile, she's signing her name.::

[the_ebbandflow]

*I'm here! I'm here! Don't worry! I'm ready to go about this.

and totally having a donut first.*

[thestudyof]

*looks up from what he's writing*

Ah. Hasegawa and Kanzawa, correct?

[thestudyof]

*they're perfectly safe and from Mister Donut. A reputable brand in Japan.*

Hello... Miss Yuuki, correct?

[forgottenfrozenfloe]

Correct.

::You still look too damn similar.::

[danse_etoile]

Yes. ::Short bow of politeness.:: Mr. Yamada, right?

[autumnswarm]

"...Then it's missing something important.

Hrm~ I'd have to ask around to see what it could possibly be missing. And might be why you have anxiety about dueling. You're missing a piece of your puzzle, so to speak~"

[azuremagma]

It's the last day near the last bit of time. Everything's probably gone fine or it's been fixable.

And the doors swing open and in strides the smuggest, cockiest sonuvabitch you have probably ever seen. He grins real wide, shoves an entire donut into his moth and gives a thumbs up.

"'sup, Doc?"

[thestudyof]

*almost the last day at least. You're just near it.

He was making adjustments on the system when Cyril walked in and did that.

... anxiety is an understatement for his feelings right now.*

Ah... hello.

[thestudyof]

"A piece of my puzzle"...?

... Well, for now, this will have to do. Did this satisfy your curiosity?

[azuremagma]

"Yo! Doc Mamoru, yeah?

Cyril, in case ya couldn't figure it out. Ya still workin' with yer toys there? I can wait."

He whistles, looking around.

"I dig it."

[autumnswarm]

"And then some, sir~ Thank you very much for your time!"

[thestudyof]

Still. Let's move on.

I'll get the system set up, so when you're ready, stand over there.

*he gestures to a spot that stands opposite to the dueling AI*

[thestudyof]

... Yes.

It's somewhat sensitive equipment. So it needs regular maintenance in-between sessions.

There's a clipboard over there that I'll need you to look over and sign before we can proceed.

[thestudyof]

Indeed.

If you can fill out the form under the one you're signing, it'd help too. Since it'll help me figure out any specifications you might want for the duel itself.

[thestudyof]

*it's absolutely eerie. he even sounds like him. Looks like him.

... only he's, ironically enough, a bit more cheery than Scythe. At least.*

Have you agreed which of you will go first? Also, please sign these forms.

*produces a clipboard, though he adds on an extra pair of forms.*

Agreement forms, as well as duel specification forms. I believe you had special requests for this, Hasegawa?

[the_ebbandflow]

Ah, yeah. Really special.

In fact, it'll probably be a really good idea if Koyo goes first.
