[Take your time other Yugi. Take your time, he needed it too. Noa in the moment, will get himself a tea while he waits in fact.

...Ah.] Mmm from what I gather the game was inspired by tablet carvings...which leads me to wonder if it's something of the game transcending its form or similar.

...I can see why you believed yourself to be another half rather than a whole now however. If you had never communicated with him... ...well.

I can't pinpoint where it was exactly when you both started doing that, but I suspect it was at least before you were to encounter the CEO of I2- he's the one who created the card game, I should note. Seto had rather traumatic memories of him- he could read minds using a millennium Eye.

It's a theory, but you should have been able to counter that by switching between two minds...in theory, anyway.

I would say perhaps you'll both meet sometime in the future, but frankly, that's not a hope you should have.

Just as I would not wish this place on Mokuba, I doubt you would wish it on your partner.

...mm. If it means anything his friends are yours. Genuinely, I mean, they all certainly seemed to care about you as well.

[Huh. Who knew Magic: the Gathering had those kinds of roots?

All this is very interesting -- details about his future that may become relevant, if anyone's harebrained escape attempt actually works. If he eventually wins this game. Also who fucked with Kaiba

who's this I2 eye guy

oh, the other Yugi's gonna kick his ass.

Because, apparently, the only one who psychologically traumatizes Kaiba is the other Yugi? It's fine, don't think about it too hard.

But, luckily, this conversation's happening over text so Noa doesn't see the enraged silent stanning that happens here. The upshot is, he's still not fully convinced that "I was inside the Millennium Puzzle and was let out" is supported by the facts. (He kind of doesn't want to think of himself as an entity that was freed from the Millennium Puzzle. If that's true, he's something...he's got to be something very dark, right? Something not human. He'd much rather be Yugi!)

He chooses to keep all this to himself, for now, instead addressing another conversation thread.]

And the rune you mentioned?

< GREATFLOOD >

[noasark]

[You already kicked his ass other Yugi.

In the....future...]

Yes, that.

I didn't catch a look at it but my tomb keeper 'friend'- I use that word very loosely by the way- seemed to have something similar to it carved in his back. I only ever spotted the top unfortunately so I can't be sure.

Personally it would be a hell of a coincidence, but then again the fact that I currently carry traits from those three god cards and seem to have them marked in a glow-in-the-dark manner on my back is a pretty incredible coincidence as well.

At any rate I've never tried to translate it- largely because the methods to work on it aren't here, and I haven't really felt the need to.

[He's been busy with important things, like updating your computer,]

[knifemonopoly]

Hearing about this is like being handed only some of the pieces of a puzzle. There are too many ways for them to fit together for me to get an idea of the final shape. I know what feels true to me, but what I'm seeing contradicts that.

I'll look at this mark, if you're willing to show me. I might as well see what these gods look like!

< GREATFLOOD >

[noasark]

I can only imagine. Particularly since frankly, I have no idea what it all means myself.

I suppose I could however, yes. I'll warn you they're very simple depictions.

<Player1>

[knifemonopoly]

[He's in the stage of puzzle-solving where he's just collecting all the pieces and hoping one will look something like an edge. He'll take whatever Noa's got.]

It'll have to wait for another night. The sun's almost up! But when you've got the time to spare after it gets dark, I'll come meet you.

< GREATFLOOD >

[noasark]

Sounds like a plan then.

I tend to keep my evenings relatively free, so it would probably be best to just let me know when you're available next- I can fly you into my house.

<Player1>

[knifemonopoly]

You won't be flying me anywhere.

Why would I need to fly to reach your house?

< GREATFLOOD >

[noasark]

For security reasons the only entrances are either from the air, or by digging underground.

But fine, no flight.

<Player1>

[knifemonopoly]

Does that really work to keep other monsters out? A lot of us can fly, one way or another.

< GREATFLOOD >

[noasark]

The added defense is largely in that it's flanked with reflective glass- you can't see it, or at least not easily.

Re: < GREATFLOOD >

[knifemonopoly]

Heh.

Does anyone crash into it?

<GREATFLOOD>

[noasark]

Oddly, no. The building is fairly high up however so I suppose I'm not surprised.

Regardless I hope you learn to turn into a bat soon enough then, or I'm never going to be able to host a visit, apparently.

<Player1>

[knifemonopoly]

...is that likely?

< GREATFLOOD >

[noasark]

What, never heard the stories?

I can turn into a cat can't I? Vampires are associated fairly heavily with most nocturnal animals, but bats are the big ones. It's happened to some, it'll probably end up something you can do as well.

Try not to get eaten by dogs if it does.

<Player1>

[knifemonopoly]

Oh, is that how it is?

[Are they on "teasing about each other's monster traits" terms? Because if so, expect no mercy.]

< GREATFLOOD > Noa every time he makes a warning while O-Yugi is just `IS THAT A -CHALLENGE-` rip

[noasark]

Most bats are small, so yes.

I am being entirely serious!

[HE MEANS IT!!! DON'T GET EATEN!!!]

<Player1>

[knifemonopoly]

I hope you're not talking from personal experience.

[HE IS NOT SERIOUS HE IS TEASING BECAUSE IF NOA'S GONNA IMPLY THAT OTHER YUGI'S THE KIND OF PERSON WHO WOULD LET HIMSELF GET EATEN BY A DOG THEN OTHER YUGI'S GONNA CLAP BACK, MR. CAT]

< GREATFLOOD >

[noasark]

Well things have certainly tried...

[wow]

<Player1>

[knifemonopoly]

[lmao oh no Noa's been chased by dogs?? oh no he shouldn't be laughing, he wouldn't laugh to Noa's face about it, but pffffff.]

I'll keep it in mind!
