(open!)

Characters: Judai and YOU
Date: latter half of March
Location: broad area near the Dreaming Bridge
Situation: inadvertently causing tech to go haywire is a thing that's happening to him now + mugging
Warnings/Rating: n/a


A. he wasn't even in the shop (sci-tech 1)
[Not far from the Dreaming Bridge, standing on a random street corner, is Judai, frowning at his yimo. Looks like Tenn’s theory that his yimo’s malfunction being caused by proximity to his Duel Disk was right.]

[...Which is a problem. It’s not like he’s never been far from that device, in fact it’d happened a lot during his earlier years at school. But now...being without his weapon makes him feel a little...antsy.]

[He frowns as he glances at the time. Two minutes away. Faster if he sprints.]

[With a loud sigh (though it’s really more of a groan), he dramatically crouches with his hands over his head. This sucks!]

[Unfortunately for Judai, his day is about to get worse. Some minor commotion has him whirling to his feet and snatching something out of the air. ...A pen.]

Uh...

[Not far away, some people are yelling at some hapless...workers? in uniform. Looks like the power's gone out at the dress shop that was behind him, and some people are mad about that.]

[...Judai's Duel Disk isn't even here. It's not his fault.]



B. he has not put this much effort into getting his yimo working just to lose it to muggers (crime 3)
[As it turns out...maybe it's a good thing he left his piece of technology somewhere else.]

[The muggers look very confident at their proposed "exchange," a set of glasses for everything that Judai has. Joke's on them, though; all Judai has on him is a yimo, a pen, a half-eaten egg sandwich, and 5 rhinn. He also has his Talent.]

[A low-key dramatic wind starts blowing by their feet, rattling some pebbles and bits of debris. The muggers glance down, startled, and when they look back up, Judai's eyes seem to glow subtly a bit, gold and green.]

[Suddenly the muggers look a bit less confident.]

[Unfortunately, it's also the dress shop where Judai's tech support was in the middle of a modeling job. Which was going beautifully until the lights flickered and died. Then the filming crew turned to blame the construction team next door (who had sworn that nothing they were doing would affect the shoot). And in the fray, Tenn, still in all his finery, was dismissed to await the return of the lights.

Tenn watches with a straight face, trying to hide his irritation. It’s improper for them to argue like this while on the job! They’re making a scene and that’s not good publicity. Ever the professional, he looks out the main display window and gives a reassuring smile for the passersby. Nothing to see here! Everything is fine. Though, that spikey brown hair looks familiar... oh no.

Gathering up the hem of the kimono-like attire, he pushes open the door and approaches at a brisk, purposeful pace, rustling in several layers of silks. At least his smirk and raised eyebrows suggest more amusement than anger.]


You wouldn't happen to know who's responsible for this? [Tenn's gaze flicks over Judai, searching for the bulges of the duel disk in his pack.]

[The apology seems to placate him, though his suspicion doesn't fully abate – not until the mystery is solved. Tenn makes a point of looking non-confrontational, folding his hands in front of him demurely. (He is standing in front of a business while wearing their product, after all.)]

What does it look like I was doing? [What, you think he sits at a desk job all day? With looks like these? Please.] This boutique hired me for their seasonal catalog. [Actually, they originally hired someone else, who got the cave bones, and then they frantically searched for a replacement. So here Tenn is.]

I see. It’s good that you were able to test the theory. Has separating your devices solved the problem?
perfectenn: (I could have danced all night)

[personal profile] perfectenn 2018-03-27 08:38 pm (UTC)(link)
[The frenetic movement draws his eye, but Tenn refrains from comment. For now. If this is only a temporary fix, it should be looked into. But why would there be anything to hide? Was the problem not fully resolved or... did something else occur?]

[But right now, at Judai's investigative prompting (and his awareness of the attention of passersby), Tenn smiles and holds out his arms in a graceful gesture, unfurling the generous sleeves. The fabric is pearlescent at just the right angles. Inspired by Selys scales, the designer had said. Highlighting the fabric's texture and concept has been a challenge, but it's been an enjoyable shoot.]


I like both this and being at Opara Core. [What a strange question. But he's right about Tenn's broad skillset. It was... necessary. And coming in handy now that he's on his own.] But the photo shoot can’t resume until power is restored.

[No problem! Tenn encourages the staring with subtle movements to show off the ooh shiny design. He's doing his job, after all. These outfits don't buy themselves!]

If that is the case, they will reschedule. It would be inconvenient, but if the staff has time before the deadline, we'll be fine.

[A few weeks ago, Tenn would've insisted that he didn't have magic. Now, thanks to a scorched and battered spell book he recently acquired, he knows better. He tucks his hands into his sleeves, smile turning thoughtful.]

My Talent requires light to see it by. I'm also not sure it would translate into film.

[The ability is still so new Tenn hasn't even pitched it to his clients. Discovering his limits and how to consciously manipulate it is taking time.]

[ Sheena's on her way to that particular dress shop to make an appointment when the place suddenly darkens and the yelling begins. Seriously, they're throwing blame around when they should be making sure people can see and not get hurt.

Under all the commotion, she hears a quiet "Uh..." behind her. There's something about that word that makes the ninja turn, her eyes lighting up when she sees Judai before becoming questioning. ]


Judai...Do you know what happened? Did you see something?
ninjainviolet: ([Focus])

[personal profile] ninjainviolet 2018-03-22 05:57 am (UTC)(link)
[ Sheena looks at the pen, confused. ]

A pen? Why would anyone throw a pen at you? And yeah, I was coming to make an appointment.

[ She studies him for several moments, her expression thoughtful. ]

Judai, maybe it's not exactly bad luck. Have you discovered a strange ability that you didn't have back home?
ninjainviolet: ([Skit!Wonder])

[personal profile] ninjainviolet 2018-04-04 09:11 am (UTC)(link)
I see.

[ A thoughtful hum comes from Sheena as the air moves around them, her eyes focused on his mark. Rolling up her sleeve, she shows him her own mark before shaking her head. ]

No, my new power has to do with light. [ And she'll just gather a small amount of it in a ball in her hand before it pops away. ]

But neither one of these would cause a pen to come flying at you. [ A pause. ] Did you see who threw it?
ninjainviolet: ([Calm Ninja])

[personal profile] ninjainviolet 2018-04-05 02:04 am (UTC)(link)
[ Sheena's eyes widen. ] More than one? Honestly, [ A soft chuckle ] that thought didn't even occur to me. Although, I guess I'll be able to someday.

[ Yeah, she's a little hesitant, and it shows in her voice. ]

You did? Well, maybe you should give it back to him. [ A pause as a thought occurs to her. Or rather, a hunch. ] Or maybe I should? I mean, I do want to see how long the power will be out, and he may need the pen.

[ She really has no idea what's going on, but something tells her it's not entirely a simple power outage. ]
ninjainviolet: ([Gentle Smile])

[personal profile] ninjainviolet 2018-04-13 07:20 am (UTC)(link)
No, it doesn't exactly hurt, but if I gather too much...well, it tends to pop or explode, and it's kind of blinding. [ She speaks in an aside he can probably hear. ] Maybe if I practice while wearing sunglasses...?

[ She also looks at the pen. ] Haven't you ever thrown something in frustration? Maybe it was the only thing he had.

[ She takes the pen, some understanding crossing her features. ]

And you think you might be responsible for this? Or make things worse?
denyamenti: (must recall a man that neither love)

B.

[ Oh, Bakura thinks, this is going to be very entertaining. When the muggers decide that perhaps its wise to call the whole thing off, they'll find Bakura planted, arms folded in their would-be escape path. ]

No, I think you should stay and finish what you started. You were all ready to sell this deal of yours a moment ago.

[ then to Judai: ]

Don't you think so?
denyamenti: (shadow does not carry sword or spear)

[personal profile] denyamenti 2018-03-29 10:45 pm (UTC)(link)
That hardly seems fair.

[ The assailants that approach Bakura however, are in for a nasty surprise when the space between them suddenly becomes filled with a deformed, rancid clown holding a weapon and leering hungrily at the attackers, beginning to advance on them. ]

What's that phrase? "Turnabout it fair play..." They liked it well enough when they thought they had the upper hand.
denyamenti: (i kept the secret close)

[personal profile] denyamenti 2018-04-04 06:30 am (UTC)(link)
[ Bakura lets the clown spend a few more seconds salivating hungrily at the muggers, before he steps to the side and the Clown mimics the motion, giving the unlucky assailants a clear passage to get the hell out of Dodge, reminding them as they pass: ]

I expect you'll remember that your would-be target just saved you a lot of trouble.

[ then, once they're gone, he addresses Judai again ]

If you don't make an impression on those type, they'll keep coming back, you know.
denyamenti: (Default)

sorry for the delay in replying! was out of town

[personal profile] denyamenti 2018-04-15 03:39 am (UTC)(link)
[ Judai's lightshow eyes had also caught Bakura's attention, and he was very interested in seeing just what had caused that. ]

How do you think I did it?
denyamenti: (displays the deepest knowledge of mind)

[personal profile] denyamenti 2018-04-18 04:44 am (UTC)(link)
Monsters like this have always been used for intimidating.

[ Bakura's expression stretches into a grin when he says it, but it's not a friendly one. ]

Yes, I thought that was recognition when you saw it. So we're both from the same place, then.

This is what they looked like before cards, you know.
denyamenti: (Default)

[personal profile] denyamenti 2018-04-20 01:04 am (UTC)(link)
[ The disagreement that they're from the same place is interesting, but he'll come back to that later. ]

That's right. So who are you?
denyamenti: (duel for pride and victory match)

[personal profile] denyamenti 2018-04-27 02:38 am (UTC)(link)
And what do you know of Shadow Magic?

[ He dismisses the Clown, letting it vanish. Not that it took much effort to hold, especially being such a low level summon, but there was no need for it any longer. ]
denyamenti: (eyes of the sleepers waxed deadly)

[personal profile] denyamenti 2018-04-29 07:03 pm (UTC)(link)
[ The terminology gives Bakura pause, because he's not sure they're talking about the same thing. ]

It was a creature from the Shadow Realm, which Duel Monsters are based on. Sometimes they're quite close to what's represented by Pegasus' cards, sometimes they're not. The Clown isn't far off. What do you know as a "Duel Spirit"?
denyamenti: (Default)

[personal profile] denyamenti 2018-04-30 04:47 am (UTC)(link)
Imagination, willpower, heka. Perhaps simply different names for the same idea.

Bakura.
denyamenti: /suspecting (about you at least they lied)

[personal profile] denyamenti 2018-05-04 03:58 am (UTC)(link)
[ And just like that, it's like the distance of the last five years of being separated from his world have narrowed. ]

Undead, Fiend, whatever suits.

When you're not in the middle of things, come find me and we can discuss Duel Monsters. It's been a while, for me.
