This week, I'll be having the testing room open for any volunteers who may wish to participate in the AI registration program. I know some of you had been interested in participating, and I've been able to put aside the time to do the scanning, currently. Please make sure your deck is up to date, as it will be fully registered, and until the AI is solidified, I'd appreciate no last-minute changes after the initial registration.

Thank you.

[Event]

*So, this is kinda a three-fold event.

A) You're at Mamoru's testing room at LDS, either to take part in the AI registration program to have your likeness and deck recreated, or you're here to talk to him for some reason or another.

B)

Right outside of LDS's main building however, there's a red-haired woman standing there, arms crossed. Labrys seems to be keeping a steady eye on Mamoru for whatever reason, and she isn't going to budge anytime soon.

C)

... And that's because Tarou's been slinking around. Sure, he's trying to make himself look like he should be there, be it going around the other facilities that're open to the public and whatnot, but he is kinda loitering.*

*Juudai arrives at Mamoru's testing room. The AI registration program interests him, but today he's more interested in having a bit of a chat with Mamoru himself, to find out more about him and to see what he possibly knows in regards to Tarou.*

Re: A

[thestudyof]

*Probably smart. Mamoru looks up from the desk he had set up with papers and all for this, attention grabbed by the person actually coming in.*

Ah, hello there. You're--

*he takes a moment, realizing he recognizes you, but not as someone who had actually been here before*

-- Yuuki, right? I haven't spoken to you since I had to go to SAI, for the limiter.

Re: A

[i_like_red]

*Juudai gives him a cheerful smile and a nod.*

Yup, Yuuki, Juudai.

I hope the limiter has been working well for you!

Re: A

[thestudyof]

I'll admit, I haven't tested it with dueling myself, but...

It's at least stopped my abilities from affecting these tests, so far. Which was what I wanted in the first place.

*he clears his throat slightly*

What can I do for you?

Re: A

[i_like_red]

*As soon as he asks, a more serious, concerned expression seems to appear on Juudai's face.*

There's something I need to speak to you privately about, if you don't mind.

::Walking up to you, Goth Man.::

So, Mr. Yamada, I should be able to work with you and Akira starting today?

::Scratching cheek.::

Re: A

[thestudyof]

*oh, it's Akira's friend.*

Oh, yes, of course. Akira mentioned you wanting to help.

*he looks around slightly*

He's still not in yet, himself. But I wanted to know how you felt about Tag Dueling. I know you had interest in Riding Duels, but Tag Duels are something I don't have many records of, if any at all.

Re: A

[blondeballnchain]

Not against them in principle.

But MOST of my experience with Tag Dueling is swinging my ball and chain at the opponent's kneecaps so my opponents can't activate Trap Cards while my partner puts the squeeze on them?

::Blink blink.::

Re: A

[thestudyof]

That's fine, we can consider that to be a stress test.

Would you be alright with doing both a standard, and an action duel in a Tag Team, with Akira? Against the AI?

::A blonde useless pile of curves wiggles up to you, holding herself together with a walking cane. Deciding to inspect you.

She smells like The Endless Abyss of The Damned. And bubblegum cherries.

But she looks like she has barely any marbles in her head.::

Re: B

[tachyonparticle]

*... I'm not keen on your smell, but also you seem like you have nothing going on upstairs.*

Yes? Can I help you?

Re: B

[wherethemiceare]

You seem cool and pretty.

And I was checking to see how you're put together, I guess?

::Blink blink, rattle rattle.::

Re: B

[tachyonparticle]

*bit surprised*

Oh. Well... Thank you? I'm not sure what there is to question of how I'm "put together", however.

[lunalightlady]

::Marching up to you in a tasteful red suit.::

You do know loitering is prohibited, right?

Re: B

[tachyonparticle]

Apologies if it's coming off as that, then. *she makes no sign of moving*

I'm here on guarding business, so it isn't loitering.

Re: B

[lunalightlady]

I trust you have your papers and identification to back that up?

::Pressing a pair of glasses up her nose.::

Re: B

[tachyonparticle]

Do you have the authority in this area to question me, and ask for trifles such as that?

*staring at you, Serena. like a statue.*

[soundofthestorm]

::You sense you're being followed. By a jerk. Mr. Loiter::

Re: C

[knowinginthedark]

*oh darn, only figures I have keenly attuned Jerk Senses.

He's trying to act natural! Definitely not a person with terrible plans at all, just going about his business and everything.*

Re: C

[soundofthestorm]

::Skulking, jacket flapping. Now what does your business seem to be about?::

Re: C

[knowinginthedark]

*oh, you know, the usual things! watching, learning about LDS's functions, enjoying the spring-time, trying to dodge the watchful eye of the red-head that's standing outside of the main building and absolutely deterring me.

You know. Normal things.*

[i_like_red]

*After talking with Mamoru, Juudai leaves the LDS building and spots Labrys outside, just as Mamoru had said. With that he casually walks over to her with a cheerful look on his face.*

Hey, Labrys!

Re: B

[tachyonparticle]

*ah, the hero approaches. She nods in acknowledgement at Juudai's address, her arms crossed. She's in the full armor look, so obviously she's been taking her loitering here seriously.*

Hello. Quite a pleasant day, yes?

Re: B

[i_like_red]

Yeah! Spring is really in the air now. It's been much warmer lately.

*He looks up at the blue sky for a moment before he continues. He keeps his cheery demeanour, to make it look like they are just having a casual conversation, but lowers his voice a little so anyone watching at a distance wouldn't be able to hear what they were talking about.*

I just visited Mamoru. He said you'd been keeping an eye on him out here.

Re: B

[tachyonparticle]

*She takes the cue to keep her voice down, thankfully.*

Yes. Have been for quite a while.

You come to notice a lot of things as a result, that correlate with him and his own presence.
