Character Meet and Greet: Boo to You~!

Rules | FAQ | Premise | Applications

i. Main Street USA: Daylight Hours
The citizens of Main Street greet the coming of fall in a big way! The entire main part of town is decorated in the colors of fall, carved pumpkins on every window ledge, balcony and stoop! Some are rather creative, ranging from The King himself to various spook-tacular versions. There are also plain pumpkins, squash and apples arranged in a rather decorative (and tasty) presentation outside the Opera House!

Enjoy yourselves as The Candy Palace begins to hand out small, caramel and spice covered apple slices. The smell of apple fritters, grilled apples and apple bacon float through the air. Enjoy the rather relaxed daylight hours...

ii.Main Street USA: After Dark

Because the moment the sun sets, and the lamps have been lit- the entire street takes on a strange and unsettling demeanor. The pumpkins glow a soft, red color and bats and black cats crawl around the shadowed corners. You might see several citizens wandering the streets-but look to hard and they will suddenly vanish before you can even greet them.

The stores are still open and the sweets and treats are still pouring; but! Beware of happy haunts~!

iii. Yo ho, yo ho a Pirates life for me!

Ah! Smell that salty, briny air! It gives life to all those who are from or love the sea!

Which would be wonderful and invigorating, if this was the bottom of the beautiful briny sea. It isn't. It's the open garden in front of the train station which is no being over run by some rather fishy, lv. 2 Corroded! Can you help sweep the proverbial beach clean without being washed away by water based attacks? The conductors would be most grateful if you could!

iv.Come out and Socialize!

No need to be number one thousand! Imagination is the real host here, so go on and use your to come up with your own adventure. Just remember to take loved ones by the hand, please, our ghosts are frightfully sensitive to too much mischief~

step one: this ship runs on happy faces (day)

Kaiba's had a scowl affixed to his face since the second he stepped through the mirror, pretty much. He's been forced against his will into some sort of fourth-rate amusement park to do what, fight demons? Whoever's in charge definitely made the wrong choice.

He takes an apple slice somewhat reluctantly, claiming a spot on the nearest bench and watching passersby with a scrutinizing expression. Magic and imagination, happiness and wonder...how could it be?


step two: a plundering blunder (night)

Did he mention before that he's not a heroic type? Kaiba was just getting off the train to walk back to his far too cramped apartment when the trouble started. He'd thankfully armed himself ahead of time, and was currently unloading arrows into the corrosion, but they weren't doing much. He was hit by another wave of murky water for his trouble.

"I ought to wring you out!"

And so his first attempt at wind began. it was a weak sputter of a spell that lit the area briefly, but sent him careening back into another puddle. Perfect.

((anything else? try me! :D))

II

[blessedarethebookmakers]

He comes on the scene a bit later than that, enough to see the young man cast into a puddle. He was coming out of the library himself, noticed the horrible amount of wet, and immediately shielded himself with a bubble as he edged around the beasts and toward the human.

"You don't seem terribly good at this, I'm afraid."

[blue_ice]

Well, that was one way to annoy him. Kaiba got to his feet with one of his trademark glares, scooting back as he readied another arrow.

"Magic is a sham. Incredibly imprecise."

The arrow doesn't miss, thankfully, but it doesn't seem to do that much on its own either.

[blessedarethebookmakers]

"You're just saying that because you're terrible at it. Redirection causes nothing but pain for both parties, you know. It's much easier simply to say: I'm still practicing or learning, without letting that nasty pride get in the way."

He watches the arrow do-- not incredibly much, if he'll be honest.

"What class are you, dear?"

[blue_ice]

It occurs to Kaiba just a few moments later. The universe's idea of a cosmic joke at his expense. He shakes his head.

"Don't tell me: that this is A Christmas Carol and I'm Mr. Scrooge?"

[blue_ice]

That's exactly the wrong thing to say to him. He scowls.

"A warrior who'd be much happier with a plasma gun," he growled. He'd only been trying to compensate for his current lack of power---he wasn't even making a dent, really.

Step one

[king_of_egypt]

Main Street had transformed itself for the festival, and Atem had to appreciate the attention to detail- and the scents of the delectable treats that added to the ambiance. He was just heading to work like a normal day and for once not entirely dreading it. That being said, the sooner he found a new occupation the better.

After the few months that he'd been here, he never expected to see a familiar face from his dimension. So that figure on the bench evaded his notice initially.

Re: Step one

[blue_ice]

Unfortunately (or fortunately), Kaiba is taking the time to people watch. He frowns at the flickering lights, and he's about to turn away when he spots a familiar hairstyle.

He's facing away from him, so he can't be sure who is there. But that doesn't stop Kaiba from springing to his feet and stalking up behind him, calling to his rival's back.

"Yugi!"

His fists are clenched at his side, trembling. It couldn't be...could it?

Re: Step one

[king_of_egypt]

Atem was wondering what sort of changes he could expect on the Carnation Café's menu in honor of the celebration, doubting that the business would miss the opportunity to capitalize on the season. Meanwhile he was taking the time to examine some of the pumpkins as he passed by. Some of them were surprisingly detailed.

Deciding that he'd best get on with it, he wasn't planning on delaying his progress any longer- until he heard a familiar shout.

Stopping suddenly, he found himself questioning whether he had really heard that voice, then he turned slowly, almost hesitantly. When his eyes caught sight of the other figure they widened in surprise. "Kaiba!?" Regretting the questioning tone he had employed, since clearly it could have been no other.

[blue_ice]

Kaiba held his breath as his rival turned around. This wasn't the Yugi who'd just stood by his side in the dome---the one who'd proved his worth in the most dramatic way possible.

This was the ancient spirit who had shattered him. The one who'd saved the day again and again, and crushed him at the last moment in a duel time and time again. The man he both loathed and respected, and...perhaps, he'd even missed.

"Atem..." he corrected, looking slightly dazed.

"How? Are we dead?"

II: I meant to tag this like a week ago, so sorry!

[takeitsleazy]

Michael had been on his way to help when Kaiba came sailing into the puddle, and as such, reached down to offer a hand up.

"Alright there? Looks like you could use some back up." The assessment was pleasant, without a hint of judgement, as he rolled up the sleeves of his coat and shirt, then offered his pocket square. "... and a towel."

[blue_ice]

"Looks like?"

Kaiba just looks up, incredulous. What appears to be a kindly older gentleman offering to help...that's so far outside the realm of his experience that he's naturally a little suspicious.

Still...he could test. He'd normally never do this, but he hesitantly accepted the hand up, using the offered pocket square to dry his hands for a steadier grip on his weapon.

He fires again. Right between the eyes...not that it does much. "It'd help if they weren't duller than dirt too."

Step One.

"Geeze," the small duck said looking up at him as she passed. She was getting used to the weird tall people here. "Who spit in your breakfast cereal?" she asked, then pulled herself up onto the bench, little webbed feet swinging. "Or are you always this cheerful?"

[blue_ice]

"This is just my natural charm," he fires back, narrowing his eyes at the...duck. That couldn't be a costume. Maybe a robot? Or was this bizarre place reality after all?

He needed to research that some more. "Don't tell me you were happy about the whole abduction thing?"

[keen_gear]

"Well sure," Gos said happily, swinging her little duck legs. "I mean, why not? It's not like getting kidnapped is exactly new. But we weren't kidnapped, not really. I mean, one of the guys looks like a villian sure, but sometimes that doesn't mean anything. I mean, Morgana definitely looks like a villian but she's all kinds of awesome now that she's become a good guy. AND, they just want us to help!" she said, cheerfully. "I mean think about it, we get to be heroes! Like Darkwing Duck! I was thinking maybe of getting a mask, that could be neat, right? Plus it doesn't look like there are any parents around, so no one to tell us to clean up our rooms or go to bed or do homework or to say that playing video games will rot out our brains while they secretly try to destroy you at the world championship game...."

Okay, she might have a little baggage there...

[blue_ice]

Kaiba caught...very little of that, aside from the 'parents trying to destroy you' thing. That was familiar.

"Never heard of him, but that's...not surprising. Just don't let them talk you into mindlessly risking your life for a shot at glory. It's only worth it if it's what you truly believe in."

Re: seto kaiba | ygo

[velsper]

Step One:

Making humans miserable was fun. But sometimes it was more fun to sit and watch them make themselves miserable. Which was why he now had what looked like a little kid sitting on the curb across from his bench, watching him intently, like he was the most fascinating TV show ever.

[blue_ice]

Kaiba was content to ignore the weirdo for a while, but even he had his breaking point. He eventually rose from the bench and stalked over, folding his arms.

"What?"

Apparently he was supposed to be in cat form, but we'll keep going with kid form for fun

[velsper]

He leaned back without getting up. "Gee, mister, you sure are tall," he said with an innocent looking smile. Silly foolish mortal. If he was in his true form, he wouldn't be the one looking up. But he put this curse on himself for good reason, so he'd keep up the act. After all, he needed a stooge to do his bidding while he was here. And if this guy wouldn't be that. he'd be fun to torment, either way, the young Demon was pleased.

Re: seto kaiba | ygo

[mal_contented]

Step Two.

Oh no. Oh no way. Not a chance. On Main Street? How had they circled around. The purple haired girl shoved him out of the way just before another blast of water could hit him. She then pointed at one of the corroded. "Water dark and briney deep shrink down fast and fall asleep!" she said, reading from the book she held in her other hand. The pointing finger gestured and one of the monsters stumbled back, getting smaller as it fell over.

Shame she didn't seem to be aware of the one coming up on her from behind as she turned to focus on another one, her eyes flashing bright green.

[blue_ice]

"Ah!"

Kaiba stumbled gracelessly for a moment, turning his head to look at the girl. How did she do that? And her eyes were...well, that was alarming.

But he'd never figure this out if the creatures kept interrupting them, so he stepped around her and swung the bow hard against the creature. It wasn't supposed to work like that, really, but it seemed to stun it for a second.

"Get away, slime."

[mal_contented]

She glanced at him and what he was fighting. "Not generally how a bow is used."

She spun to face another creature, keeping the stranger at her back. Not that she trusted him, just better him than the monsters. "Side pouch of my bag, the green one. Apples." She loved apples, good for eating, throwing, and poisoning. "Water dark and briney deep shrink down fast and fall asleep!" she called again, taking another one out. Her eyes only seemed to flare green when she was casting her spell.

i had to go for the coat >.> :D

[haberdashink]

Good thing he got that apple slice when he did, because the next person to be offered one...

"Ho! Hy tank hyu!" he said in a thick accented drawk before using his claws to spear every last remaining slice. He walked away from the sputtering sample person, eating the slices off sharp claws with sharper teeth. But he stopped when he saw Kaiba and sized him up. "Hyu look like hyu iz about my size, yez?" And that was an awfully nice coat Kaiba had.... Might be time for some Jäger style shopping...

[blue_ice]

Kaiba narrowed his eyes. The...other person had clearly been here for a while, and here he was swiping fruit.

"Can't you afford your own apple by now?"

[haberdashink]

"Ho yez, vut ennytink iz bedder ven it iz vun, like clothink." Yes, he was eyeing that coat. "Hyu iz ztroink?"
