In the moonlight I felt your heart...

[moonlitsigner.livejournal.com]

[In the wooded area near the beach, there is a sudden rustling as a Yuusei stumbles out onto the sand. He stands, shaking his head and looking up into the sky, panting. Daylight. He then realizes he's wearing his clothing, which is odd to say the least... it's not often he manages to go through a night with it intact when he forgets to remove it. Not only that, he realizes, but the air smells different here. Come to think of it, he didn't remember beaches and foliage like this in Satellite... where was he? Where were the others?]

Jack? Crow?

[Well, all things considered, you might be forgiven about the foliage. It does look...very pink, doesn't it?]

[moonlitsigner.livejournal.com]

[A quick test of the air and he knows instinctively that it's no mere pink plant.]

[eglantiernoir.livejournal.com]

[IT NEVER IS.

Then again, whatever it is, it doesn't seem like it's going to attack you.]

[moonlitsigner.livejournal.com]

[He draws closer, still perplexed by what he's scenting.]

[eglantiernoir.livejournal.com]

...Yes, Tail?

[And a voice come from within!]

[moonlitsigner.livejournal.com]

[He leaps back in shock.] W-What...

[eglantiernoir.livejournal.com]

[And slowly, the bush unfurls to reveal...]

I'm not going to hurt you.

[moonlitsigner.livejournal.com]

Who are you?

[eglantiernoir.livejournal.com]

I am the Black Rose Dragon.

[moonlitsigner.livejournal.com]

A dragon... you mean...

[And he shuffles through his deck... ys, his Stardust is still there.]

Like the Duel Monster?

[eglantiernoir.livejournal.com]

That is correct, Tail. But in my case, my card is with another.

[moonlitsigner.livejournal.com]

...then how are you here?

[eglantiernoir.livejournal.com]

I was pulled into this world just like you.

[moonlitsigner.livejournal.com]

I see...

[eglantiernoir.livejournal.com]

You're distressed about this.

[moonlitsigner.livejournal.com]

Of course. I have a pack to lead.

[fleabittenking.livejournal.com]

...

[There is a very annoyed-looking dog-wolf on the beach, staring at you. And barking.]

~...Oi, what, Yuusei! Not like you can understand me, but what!~

[moonlitsigner.livejournal.com]

[Hearing the language of a fellow pack member brings out his alpha dominance with a snarl.]

Of course I understand you.

[fleabittenking.livejournal.com]

!

~WHAT!? HOW!?~

[moonlitsigner.livejournal.com]

[This isn't right. Jack didn't look like this... didn't act like this. Did he have amnesia?]

Jack, I'm the pack leader. You know that.

[fleabittenking.livejournal.com]

~Not here you're not. This isn't wherever you came from.~

[moonlitsigner.livejournal.com]

W-What did you say?

[fleabittenking.livejournal.com]

~I'm not the Jack you know.~

[moonlitsigner.livejournal.com]

But you're Jack.

[fleabittenking.livejournal.com]

~Well, duh. But not your Jack.

No one's explained this place to you, have they?~

[moonlitsigner.livejournal.com]

No. No one's said anything. What is this place?

[fleabittenking.livejournal.com]

~It's this messed up dimension where you'll meet other versions of people you know. Including yourself.~

[moonlitsigner.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure I like this, Jack...

[To himself, Yuusei thinks *It's hard enough keeping control around you... if I meet other versions of myself, what's to stop me?*]

[fleabittenking.livejournal.com]

~You and probably everyone else.~

[moonlitsigner.livejournal.com]

...what do you know about this place? Will I see my pack again?

[fleabittenking.livejournal.com]

...

~I don't know if anyone has gone back to their home yet.~

[moonlitsigner.livejournal.com]

...this isn't good.
