Shadow Game duel: Theoris vs Sion
Outcome: Theoris loses
Decks: Her Dragon-themed deck vs his Lovecraftian Deck
Sacred Items: Sacred Menat vs Sacred Was. (Tbh, the Menat didn't see much use)

Quite possibly Theoris would have achieved her plan of pulling them both down to a draw. Unfortunately, Sion really did a number in messing with her head. Like to the point where she was reduced to her knees and crying because he struck where it would hurt most--using an illusory Seto that simply abandoned her. Just turned and walked away. Would be very surprised if by the end of Battle City she's not suffering some form of PTSD.

In any case, she lost the duel and is currently comatose. Sion was using his Was to control her like a puppet and leave with her (along with the heavy implication that he will be doing very questionable things with her body) but then Henutawwy butts in from within the menat, freezing him in place while Seto makes his way down to the arena (it goes without saying that both spirit and CEO are royally pissed off).

We left off with the duel about to start.

PercentiledOne, you may call that scene "crazy" but I thought it was AMAZING EPIC. AND I WAS THE ONE WHOSE CHARACTER WAS ON THE RECEIVING END OF THE MIND****!

Mmm...dat uniform...

...*cough*

Let's ignore the fact that the thought that brought about this idea in the first place was the mental image itself mmmkay?

His name would be Demian Kaiser. He'd be the leader of a tank team (with Noa and Mokuba's incarnations as teammates. SURPRISINGLY NO ONE IS RELATED TO ONE ANOTHER. For the record, Nazi!Noa is the spotter and Nazi!Mokuba is the mechanic. Demian handles both driving and shooting) and his tank would bear the affectionate nickname of "Fraulein Blitz." It may or may not have a BEWD decal on the side. Allied!Yugi would be his rival (DUR) and lead a tank team of his own. HIS tank bears the epithet of Dark Maiden and probably has a DMG decal on its side.

I mostly embellished but the credit for this incarnation goes to PercentiledOne. NEEDLESS TO SAY WE'RE OVERTHINKING THINGS A BIT.

It would be with Ishizu and Yami.

I'm not big on pairing Yami and Kaiba but I do like Trustshipping (Seto/Ishizu). And now I seriously want to play around with this OT3 and make it work.

Problem is, I need prompts. It would be ideal to get a prompt from LK himself but considering he didn't seem to know what I meant by prompt when I asked...XD

HELP ME OUT GUYS!

By happy accident I found episodes of Yu-Gi-Oh! Season 0 uploaded on Youtube. And now I totally get why Toff was going ga-ga over Season 0!Yami Yugi HNNNNG DAT VOICE I'm nearly done with the season and now want to watch the rest so I can make comparisons with the 4Kids dub. Anyone know where I can find them? Also I've gotten used to Season 0!Kaiba...except when he's trying to act nice because then he's just a total creeper and the trope of "WE WANT OUR JERK BACK" starts blaring in my head...

So, I reiterate:

Anyone know where I can find the Japanese dub for the rest of the show? Preferably with English subtitles.

Title: Letters
Fandom: Yugioh!
Characters/Pairings: Seto Kaiba, Critias, Set, Christian Rosenkreutz, OCs, Dreamshipping, Debateshipping, Dragonshipping, Royalshipping




In some way or another, they had exchanged letters throughout all their lifetimes.

For Critias and Arsinoe, the letters had been long, eloquent treatises on their respective arguments, waxing poetic about why their ideas were flawed and in what way.

For Set and Henutawwy, it had started out as a simple game designed to challenge each other's minds: on papyrus or wax tablets, a message would be sent, along with a cypher to help as a guide to figuring out the code. The cypher would be different each time, to keep their minds sharp.

For Alaine and Christian, they had primarily been letters of courtship, with the occasional mention of Alaine's progress in trying to capture the Red Rose Cards. Even if one took out the more graphic sections, the emotion in those letters is genuine and it isn't hard to see that both are looking forward to the idea of marriage.

For Seto and Theoris, letters are a way of writing down what they feel when they want to avoid a confrontation that could lead to arguments--a pretty damn likely outcome given their personalities. It also takes more courage than either feels to send those letters. The first letter she sends (titled "Prometheus"), Theoris is more afraid than she's ever felt in her life, as she's not certain how the boy she has grown to care for as more than her employer would react.

And yet she leaves it with the rest of the correspondence in his desk all the same, her query both simple and complicated at the same time:

She wants to be convinced that the Pact of Glory is the right path. The why of a boy who has gotten so far in life by his own strengths suddenly decides he needs the help of gods to overthrow a king.

"I respect you so much because you carved out your own destiny, Seto Kaiba. You tossed the hand you were dealt back at the dealer and dealt your own. For someone who has been told from childhood that any path she tries to decide for herself is ultimately a waste of time and that she should dedicate herself to embrace the destiny she's been given, that means something. It means that I could do the same, even in my circumstances.

Yet now...I can't help wonder if you've lost sight of that, which is why I ask that you help me to understand. -Theoris Takeda"

Fandom: YuGiOh (specifically Duelists of the Roses)
Characters: "Seto" Christian Rosenkreutz/Rose Duelist PC (represented by my YGO OC's incarnation for this time period, Alaine de France)
Prompt: Hunter and Prey. "I just brought down a Red Eyes Meteor Dragon and ate its heart for landing the killing blow. I've more than earned the privilege to dominate you again."

BUT IT'S PLAYING SO VIVIDLY IN MY HEAD SFJDSJFKDSJF I CAN'T WRITE IT DOWN LIKE THIS.

*adds prompt to pot and lets it simmer*

Warnings for: spoiler regarding Duelists of the Roses



Debate

It was the main reason Kritias had gone into politics. Of course, there's the slight drawback that he may love it too much so he went and joined the School of Philosophers as well.

Truth

Set may be one of the individuals in Pharaoh's inner circle whom the courtiers found the least appealing but even he tried to live by the principles of Ma'at.

Similarity

The only reason Prince Frederick is often at odds with Christian is because he used to be the same. Not that the older man will ever admit it, of course.

Limits

Why stop when you could push further to surpass yourself? For Kaiba, the idea of stopping was never an option.

Adversary

The Drakon had been fearsome and it would perhaps had been a better idea to summon his monsters to wear it down before he finished it off.

But that was not the path to Glory, so Kritias did it single-handedly.

Duty

There would be times when Set would chafe at his trappings of power, times when he'd reminisce and wish it was back to the times when he was High Priest of Amun.

But his duty towards Egypt still took precedence.

Principles

Christian had never agreed with Richard's method to gaining Crawford's allegiance but also didn't have enough pull to get the boy moved elsewhere, or even freed.

So he settled for making sure the man's son remained safe.

Enemy

Like a dragon, Seto Kaiba as your enemy was something to be avoided without question.

Arrogance

The gods suffer arrogance in no one other than themselves. It's usually very off-putting.


However, they tend to look the other way if the upstart can back up it up with actions.

Characters/Pairings: "Seto" Christian Rosenkreutz/Rose Duelist (PC)


Punishment

This lifetime had been meant for her to pay for past transgressions in full. A clean slate for the next life, if only she would don the red rose.

It says much of her person that she chose to dig herself in deeper instead.


Stranger

Even though it was only their first meeting, Christian could not claim the Rose Duelist was a complete stranger. Rather, the meeting had the air of old friends crossing paths after long years apart.


Betrayal

She could try to justify her actions to them, try to make them understand why she did not come running as they desired, a puppy eager to please her masters.

Instead, Alaine offers nothing, even when some find it in themselves to ask.


Success

His plans proceed smoothly, even with that one bump on the road in the form of Gwyn abducting the Rose Duelist to acquire some of her blood. They are slowly losing their hold in England but she is out there, winning the battles that matter.

If his plans are coming to fruition, why does he find it so hard to look her in the eye?


Dragon

Even without the armor, he reminds her of that mythical beast, his gaze promising many things, power, knowledge, his love and danger, should she disturb the beast slumbering within.

But then, that is always a risk when dealing with dragons.


Book

He always considered himself a person that could not be easily read, a book with difficult cyphers even after the lock keeping it closed had been broken.

So why was it that she could read him so easily?


Penance

The geis compels her to feel knives where she should be feeling tiles or grass. It's even specific enough to have Alaine hear the slicing of the blades when she steps on them. It's becoming harder to evade his questions regarding the bloody bandages around her feet.

In the end, what they have is worth this pain.


Armor

It seemed to him that she fussed over his bruise more than was necessary. Yes, he had gotten blindsided and it resulted in a neatly melted hole in his armor but he was perfectly fine!

Yet for all of that, he secretly liked the attention.


Mistakes

He had not known what he'd wrought, bringing Arawn into their world but rather than calling him out, Alaine simply steps forward and places her hand on his own gauntleted one.

King of the Underworld or not, they would duel him and win.
