"You can design and create, and build the most wonderful place in the world. But it takes people to make the dream a reality."

I. Exploring Main Street! Take a trip through a little town taken straight from 1890's America. Visit the shops, dine at the restaurants- but don't forget you are here on a mission. As an Apprentice, you will need to gather some supplies. A weapon, or tool for producing magic.

But we understand if that corn dog cart on Market Street is your first stop.

II. Apprentice Class 101! Practice your spell casting and weaponship on the open commons behind the Firehouse. Sparring, casting or just general confusion abound here. Try not to hit anything or...anyone, the paint on the infirmary is still drying.

III. Look out! A level 2 corroded monster has managed to get onto Main Street! Protect the citizens and defeat the cur, and please watch the damage, the paint is still wet!

IV. One Little Spark! Go ahead, show us the strength of your imagination and come up with your own scenarios. Just, stay out of the Corroded Lands...if possible.

I.

"Hope you realize, you'll be hearing from my lawyer!" Chazz kept his voice raised even as the door slammed in his face. "Maybe you've been living under a rock for a few centuries but the Princeton family is very influential, you can bet that no money will be spared in the lawsuit." Whomever Chazz was trying to address was unmoved as both the door remained closed, and he was still trapped here in Losertown, USA. Admittedly, he'd only listened to about half the speech, because they were the ramblings of a senile old man so he was not a bit concerned for the decay that was supposedly out there throwing the world out of balance. All he wanted was to get back to school.... of all places.

In a huff, he turned away and noticed a bit of a crowd surrounding him, with perplexed gazes. "What are you staring at, show's over!" Then he stormed off down the street.

"Can you guys believe this?" A pause. "Guys?" Still nothing. It was Chazz's turn to be completely buffaloed. "What's taking you to respond? You know I hate waiting." But there would never be an answer. The Ojama that constantly haunted him from the day he first met Ojama Yellow, were just.... gone. At first he didn't know how to feel about that. Originally he'd tried to dump that duel spirit like a hot potato passing him off to the first fool he met but things were a little different now. They kinda understood each other better now, and it was odd for them not to be here.

"Whatever, who needs them." Said dismissively as he marched on.

IV.

"I feel like I'm back in the Slifer Red Dorms," Chazz groused, as he flopped on his bed and stared blankly up at the ceiling. "Or.... in other words, this place is a dump." Or at least it was to anyone who came from a wealthy family, and used to reside in the most prestigious dorm on academy island. Even when he was demoted to Slifer Red, for leaving the grounds without authorization he'd had his room built on as an addition. Chazz just wasn't used to something this simple. It would have to suffice, because he couldn't see himself turning the rotisserie on the corn dog wagon and what else was he qualified for? It's not as if anyone even knew what duel monsters was here, so he couldn't duel professionally like he planned.

Sitting up, he rested an arm on one knee and looked over to the empty bed. Apparently he was in danger of receiving a roommate and he was predicting that they would not get along. He'd have to put his foot down early and let the interloper know that he's already claimed the biggest dresser and the closet, not that he had that many things to fill them up with yet.

That was about the time the door creaked open. Like it or not, it was time to meet the roommate.

"You can't just abandon me here! It's not that I don't appreciate the hospitality, it really isn't, but I do have to look for my friends!"

The protests fell on deaf ears as the Doctor was lead to the doorway to the apartment and practically shoved inside. The door creaked as it closed behind him but as he wasn't alone he didn't turn and make an immediate move to leave. He should there rather awkwardly, lacing his fingers together.

"It uhm... It seems we're rather stuck with each other I'm afraid. I'm the Doctor, might I know your name?"

Hearing the commotion in the hallway, Chazz kept his eyes trained on the door. Hopefully whoever it was would quiet it down soon and just keep on walking by his room. That wasn't to be the case though as the door abruptly opened.

Leaving the bed, he stood up and crossed his arms tightly over his chest. Who was this loser? Chazz didn't have long to wait for his answer.

"Great." Answering with one word that was dripping with sarcasm. "I expected someone ...... but I thought it might be someone a little closer to my age range." Totally calling you old, old man.

"The names Chazz Princeton," He waited to see if there was any recognition. Guess this guy wasn't a duel monsters fan either. No one here seemed to be. "Just what are you supposed to be a Doctor of?" This was going to be like rooming with one of the professors from school- aka no fun at all. Does this guy even stay up past 6 pm?

No recognition at all, other than a slight smiling wince at being called an old man... He had heard that before.

"Oh, this and that!"

The Doctor exclaimed cheerily as he strode into the room, running a hand across each bed rail as he passed it. This and that wasn't really a good description for what sort of Doctor he was but that was all Chazz was likely to get.

"I'm relieved to see they aren't bunkbeds at least. Have you been here long?"

"Huh, didn't know you could major in this or that," Not entirely buying it, but not entirely caring either, so Chazz mostly let it slide. For all he knew it was just some nickname, and this guy had no real credentials in anything.

Chazz watched as the Doctor scoped out the room. It didn't take him long since again, this wasn't really a place to write home about.

"Tell me about it," Bunk beds were a very real threat at duelist academy. "Oh, just so you know.... I've got dibs on the dresser and the closet. You can have what's left." .... which was like an ottoman, and a wooden chair that wobbled. "I've been here for a few hours..."

Edited 2019-07-11 10:55 (UTC)

"The dresser and the closet?"

What was left then just this tiny little corner? A ratty old ottoman and a chair? You couldn't store anything in either one of those. The Doctor pouted and laced his fingers together.

"You might have considered leaving something behind for your roommate. Not that I have any bags but unless you were planning on moving out here neither would you."

"Yup, that's the breaks," Chazz replied flippantly then he awaited the response to see if there would be any argument about it.

The corner, the ottoman, a wobbly chair and the second bed. Don't forget the second bed, you could store plenty of stuff- underneath that. Hope you don't have arthritis in your knees. ~~He might be older Chazz but he's not ancient (as far as you know)~~.

"I might have, but I didn't," Flopping back on the bed and placing his hands behind his neck. "So what are you complaining about?" Though said complaints were pretty tame. Chazz didn't foresee a problem. "In time, I'll find something to stick in them."

It was true that the Doctor, this version at least, wasn't much of a fighter and puffing up to give into the growing sense of injustice might only have given this rude little boy a laugh! So he let it go... his bed, his gimpy chair... his ratty old ottoman...

"You have checked it haven't you? The closet? Some times hotels like this leave extra towels, toiletries, blankets and such in closets. We should at least divide those up!"

He hurried over to it and opened the door. Typical of hotels the closet was pitch black but with an overhead light one could turn on by pulling a string. A string the Doctor was just a little too short to reach.

"This is no good. I know!"

He rushed back to collect the chair and placed it just inside the closet.

"I'll hold the chair for you if you will just step up on the seat and pull the light cord? I'd do it myself but... with this chair being so unstable I might fall and you wouldn't want me putting my back out, would you?"

"You have a way to contact your lawyers. As I presume they're off dimension, I could pay you a fair sum towards those lawyers bills if you could either drop me off on Deva or have a message passed along for me," he said, amiably enough.

Leveling a glare he stared at- whatever that was that was talking to him. "Save your money, I'm only looking out for my own interests." Chazz was really in no mood to negotiate as it was.

"You need glasses for that shortsightedness of yous?" he asked, flatly.

"No but apparently you need a muzzle for that fat mouth." Sheesh what did it take to get the jolly green giant to butt out of his business?

Edited 2019-07-03 02:57 (UTC)

Giant? Oh he wished that had been said, Aahz was used to being one of the shorter members of the team.

He threw his head back and laughed. He was going to look forward to watching this guy fall flat on his face.

Well whatever he was in the pecking order he was ugly too. Chazz was the youngest of three brothers so ironically he could sort of relate to that, had he bothered to try to relate to the other in the first place.

"Whatever- just stay out of my way. You got that?"

One day I shall toss Petalwing onto a TDM again >.> Not a jerk, but still needs apologies.

All my curiosity, as I'm also unfamiliar with petalwing.

chazz_it_up - 2019-07-11 10:56 (UTC) - Expand

2 inch tall genderless fairy like creature that sings off key, lives to annoy, and spits sticky webs

situational_ethics - 2019-07-11 11:37 (UTC) - Expand

Considering that Chazz is usually haunted by Ojama duel spirits, that fairy would be the last straw

chazz_it_up - 2019-07-11 18:24 (UTC) - Expand

Lol. Want me to tag him with Petalwing then?

situational_ethics - 2019-07-12 00:05 (UTC) - Expand

Lol sure if you're up for it or in the mood to play Petalwing.

Apuartmento? Who needed an apuartmento? Certainly not this particular Kami! Still, she was ushered toward the area and bristling, she demanded that she be abulu to choose her own apuartmento. It took a while but she wrestled the list of names from the other and tilting her head, blue pigtails bouncing, her red eyes picked out a name fairly quickly.

"... what, what!? This cannot be! How duare he come here withouto me?!" Flipping the name book in the air, causing it to land on the floor in a heap of newly bent pages ~~that brought tears to the eyes of book lovers everywhere~~. Amaterasu huffed, hovering through the air before coming to a stoppu, turning, gurabbing the book again and huffing off with it as a guide to the room she'd decided was to be hers.

In a short time, the aggravated Kami found the right door and once again, hurtled the book over her shoulder carelessululy to ~~renew said aforementioned tears~~ yet again crumple the pages from the cover falling opened with the landing. Grabbing the doorknob, she urged the door opened but found it milduly stuck. That would have to be burought up to the super or whatever... when the cureaking ceased, Amaterasu hurled the door opened! It hit into the wall, making a loud bang! and her ~~totally sane~~ maniacal laughter exploded from her lipsu!

"Wahahahahaha! Surpurise, Chuazzu, it is I, the most incredibulu, ruising sun Kami and girlfuriendo, Amaterasu!" She threw her arms up as though triumphant of something in spite of... well, being triumphant in literally nothing but opening a door. "Puraise me!!!"

Still lounging about in said apartment, Chazz was unaware of the events that were swiftly unfolding a few floors below. If he were truly lucky the other bed would remain vacant, and he could keep all this space- minimal though it was -to himself. Wonder if the apartment owners would mind if tenants did something to spruce the place up. Sheesh, the 1950s called and they want their wallpaper back. Why was everything so outdated?

"I.... guess I should do something." It was kind of lame just to sit here waiting for a verdict. By the time he had decided this one very determined kami had already neared his door. A jiggling sound alerted Chazz that someone was out there, and he looked inquisitively in that direction arching an eyebrow. When it stilled, he figured someone had gotten the wrong apartment number.

With the door handle swiftly forgotten, he went back to deciding what he could even do in this dump. Happiest place on Earth my... as-"Ahhhh!"

He yelped in an undignified manner, leaping off the bed as the door slammed against the opposite wall. Eyes shooting back to see who now stood in the door frame there was no way he could have been expecting this. Well- you had to give her some credit, she did know how to make an entrance. Guess it could have been flashier but it's not like he wanted to die in a burning building today. Chazz clutched one hand over his heart, as he waited for his pulse to slow down and normalize. "You want to alert the entire building?" He snapped, unable to stop himself. One of his many faults.

"How did you?-" Chazz thought these kidnappings were random, but how would they have snatched Amaterasu too, unless it was because of their association? Unless.... she found a way to come here on her own. Please let it be the latter. "It's great, amazing... stupendous..." The words lacking some enthusiasm, but he was rushing through them to get back to his original query. "Now how did you do it? .. and can you do it again? Can you get us out of here?"

The undignified yelp from the young man was to be expected. He could be so jumpy. One would think that he'd be used to Amaterasu and her randomness by now. And a grand entrance it was! She was proud of herself and even though his tone wasn't enthusiastic, she ate up the praise he delivered whilst completely ignoring the snap he'd sent her way. Did he have a problem with people knowing she was his girlfriend? Because she'd ~~beat him~~ yell it out whenever and wherever if only to annoy the guy.

Floating, she closed the distance between themselves and threw her arms around his neck, squishing into his body with her own! "Uwah~ Amaterasu is so happy to have fuound you, Chuazzu~" Excuse her while she rubs her cheek against his because what the hell is personal space anyway? She bristled all too quickly though and gripped her hands at him a little, ahem, firmer. "How cuome you left and didn't tellu me? Are you turying to bureak up with me?" Eyes narrowed, she dared him to answer her with a yes on that one. Go ahead, she could use a little heat...

"Eh? Do it againu?" She dropped her arms and crossed her legs, hovering in place just before him, "sitting" on nothing. Her arms instead folded over her chest and she scoffed. "I am the most incredibulu kami, yes, but I didn't do anythingu? Amaterasu was going to see you~ And then suddenulu, I was here? Where is this pulace? It's ugly." Priorities, she has them ~~not.~~

True enough, Chazz could be a little excitable and even though he might have known Amaterasu for a while now it's not as if he knew she'd even be here. That's how she managed to claim the element of surprise in the Magic Kingdom ~~not that she couldn't still startle him normally, cough~~. It was to his advantage that she fixated on the positives and not the negatives so you would not hear him complaining about that in any way. Truthfully, now that he knew more about her he did appreciate more of her qualities, it's just that he like most teenage boys was terrible at expressing it. Chazz also wouldn't mind if people knew they were together, but rattling the walls of the complex didn't seem like the right way to get the point across.

When the inevitable hug came to fruition, he returned it while shooting a glance to the door way. They were still alone so this couldn't be considered pda. Cough. He even allowed himself a trace of a smile, as he looked back to top of her blue-haired pigtailed head. He'd gotten a bit better with close contact, but was by no means an expert. "It really didn't take you that long.." Not knowing how the difference in time felt to her, then after they ended up rubbing cheeks his muscles tightened a little. Oh he knew the tone of that question, and that he'd better answer it swiftly. "Trust me, it wasn't my idea. I have much better places to be than this dump".

That was about when the hug broke and she started levitating. A gleam twinkled in Chazz's eyes when he realized the significance of what she'd just done. "You do still have your powers!" Which.. he'd not been sure of before, since he hadn't been able to see the Ojama since his arrival. "No, kidding it's a wreck...." Agreeing with her assessment. "So you don't know how you got here either........" That was an issue. He expelled a sigh and shook his head. "So this is like .. . what the 2nd time this sorta thing has happened to you?

Amaterasu was the ~~queen~~ Kami of startling the hell out of Chuazzu. Mostly due to her volatile personality and his never knowing which words coming out of his mouth were going to set her off. Theirs was truly a remarkably awkward and dangerous relationship for sure. Conversely, she had gotten more used to Chazz's incessant need to snark and complain, she was still having issues with his talking back though. He had no bite so his bark was the only thing for her to be aggravated with and given how much bite she had, things of a disastrous nature tended to happen when they clashed. But similarly, Amaterasu had a difficult time admitting certain emotions: mostly those that made her seem weak. When it came to affection? No, she had no issues.

Demonstrated by the tackling hug she'd given him. It might have grated her nerves that he'd checked to be caught hugging her while returning it, but, good enough. Baby steps, all that. She felt him tense up at the feel of her cheek on his but did she withdraw? Did she stop? Offer an apology for the breech in his personal bubble? Hell no, she had a claim on him and was not afraid to ~~kill him~~ crush him with kindness and/or affection. "It tooku me enough timeu!" How dare you question how long it took her to locate you in this horribly ugly dormitory! Hotel? Whatever it was! ~~She had no time for reading signs, okay.~~ With her fingers digging into him as though the nails might spike into claws; she was pleased with his answer and loosened up. "Better pulaces like being with me~"

So modest.

Her expuression flattened. Why wouldn't she have her powers? ~~Because you didn't read the rules Elle, that's why.~~ Her ruby eyes dulled with her annoyance at his questioning her abilities. "Hn? Why would I not haveu my puowers?" She hadn't seen the Ojama either but, then again, she never could. Going back to the decorations, or lack thereof, she tilted her head back to look over the place, slowly turning mid-air until she was facing him again. "Bleh, whoever thuought this was puroper beauty for this room was, puerhaps, bulind." Because how else would it be explained?

Raising a finger, she tapped her chin in thought. He wasn't wrong. The first time had been when she crashed into him — literally — at the academy. This time it was different, at least she hadn't collided with someone and began a huge forest fire. Or school fire. Or any fire at all. Apparently, this place was much luckier than Chazz's school grounds were. Amaterasu scrunched her nose and bristled. "How duare the forces of fateu turansport Amaterasu yet again!" She huffed as though fate were someone she could strike for its impertinence but hovered through the air closer to the dark haired boy, once close enough, she thumped her forehead to his shoulder.

"I couldn't get backu to my home furom your pulanet, Chuazzu," her voice was soft, saddened even. "What if we cannot get backu furom this one either?"

Petalwing had been flitting about the rooftops looking for other Preservers or Highthings, or even Digdigs, but all the small creature could find were walking ducks and Tallthings. Well, sometimes searching needed help! So Petalwing flew out in front of the next spotted Tallthing.

Who seemed to be talking, but there was no one the Tallthing was talking to. So clearly the Tallthing was talking to Petalwing.

"Petalwing answer! But Petalwing not know. The them other Tallthings?"

Petalwing was small, a little taller than his hand and genderless with leathery green skin, lovely butterfly wings and a small flower hat. Petalwing also had the single most annoying voice to ever be heard on any world. Which was bad enough now. Just wait until Petalwing started to sing...

It wasn't an odd mistake to make, but it might be one that this 'Tallthing' would soon regret. At first, when Chazz heard the grating voice he thought Ojama yellow had finally decided to grace him with his presence but that was not the case. This small green creature- why was everything green here?- was neither an Ojama nor was it sporting the bright red shorts the creatures for some reason preferred.

"What am I even looking at now..." Chazz replied, momentarily discarding Petalwing's response wincing at the pitch of the creature.

"Don't." He spoke swiftly to try and prevent an answer. "Don't answer that- I have had my fill of all this 'whimsy' and if I have much more of it I think I'm gonna be sick."

Oh, sweetie. That's cute. Trying to stop a Preserver from talking - ESPECIALLY THIS ONE - was like trying to stop the wind from blowing.

"Petalwing is a Presever! Is tall thing not well? Not sensing sicksick. Petalwing can make wrapstuff until Soft Pretty Highthing can come with warm magic thing."

"Someone just shoot me...." Chazz groaned, smashing his hands over his face. After dragging them back off in a dramatic fashion. "Or it.... shoot it." How was it possible that anything could sound so irritating with so little effort? "Look I don't even know what a preserver is, and I don't want to."

"Is that your natural voice or did you just inhale an entire tank of helium before you decided to bother me?" Somehow he just couldn't stop his own lips from moving but if he was insulting enough this insect would have to take the hint and buzz off.

If that would work Petalwing wouldn't have lasted ten minutes with Cutter. Petalwing grinned and settled into Chazz's hair. "Silly silly bigthing. Like Petalwing's voice, Tallthing? PEtalwing sing for you!"

"Don't you dare you obnoxious little..." Chazz trailed off as he reached up to his hair to try and yank the small humanoid creature off of him.

"If it's not duel spirits, then it's always something!" Seriously, what was it about him that attracted all the small irritating creatures?
