You can has a Mokuba

[kaibacorp-vp.livejournal.com]

Wha...what is this...

[Mokuba looks around. He is on the edges of the Satellite part of the Island. What on earth happened here. Better yet, why was everything so different, when he was just inside KC headquarters seconds ago and everything was perfectly fine. Things look kind of familiar and yet...so wrong.

...He starts to feel sick. Mokuba absently touches the locket under his shirt and ventures foreward to make sure what he was seeing is even real.]


[ooc: Tagging might be sparse over the next week, midterms and all that. I clearly have my priorities straight >_>]

[You might get the vibes are being watched, Mokuba. As a Yusei with odd robot parts is scanning you in the background]

[kaibacorp-vp.livejournal.com]

[Something abnormally white and inorganic looking catches Mokuba's eye in this otherwise run down hell hole that he doesn't want to believe was his home.]

Who's there?!

[robotshrimp.livejournal.com]

[The Fetusei (who is on a rooftop) says nothing to give it away, but now Mokuba may feel like his mind is being probed now]

[kaibacorp-vp.livejournal.com]

[Frown. In fact, Mokuba does feel a somewhat familiar sensation, though he can't put his finger on why it is so. Maybe it's just one of the many hallucinations he seems to be experiencing. Mokuba is going to slowly walk in your direction, keeping an eye on his surroundings as he goes.]

[robotshrimp.livejournal.com]

Kaiba Mokuba.

[The Fetusei stats when you get too close]

[kaibacorp-vp.livejournal.com]

[Have more frowning >:|]

That's my name, yes. Do you mind telling me who...or what you are. [Mokuba yells up to you, making sure you can hear him.]

[infinitemormetn.livejournal.com]

[Here's someone you might recognize] Mr. Kaiba?

[kaibacorp-vp.livejournal.com]

[That voice...is it...]

Oh! Your one of the Godwin brothers, Rex isn't it?

Is this...do you know what's going on here?

[infinitemormetn.livejournal.com]

Yes sir.

I'm afraid I'm not exactly sure what's happened. I've been told this is Domino city, but that there was a slight... accident.

[kaibacorp-vp.livejournal.com]

[Mokuba can feel the blood draining from his face. His mouth is suddenly dry.]

An accident. Where? Have you seen my older brother?

[infinitemormetn.livejournal.com]

No sir. I haven't seen mine, either.

I've been told the Momentum reactor went critical, sir.

[kaibacorp-vp.livejournal.com]

Oh, I'm sorry. And please, call me Mokuba.

Momentum...you mean it was up and running? That's impossible, it wasn't quite ready last time I checked. But if it went critical...[He runs a hand through his hair.] This whole thing is impossible, I was just heading home, I would have at least felt something like this happen.

[infinitemormetn.livejournal.com]

[Look of mild shock] Yes... Mokuba. It's been running for some time. As I understand, Dr. Fudou wanted to shut the project down because the reactor was proving to be unstable. My brother attempted to research the cause of the imbalance but... things did not go as planned.

[kaibacorp-vp.livejournal.com]

[Mokuba shakes his head, confusion mixing with his own shock. Critical...Dr.Fudou...imbalance...whether he could believe this happened or not, the evidence was all around him and it was a disaster. His brother was going to be pissed]

I was just down there yesterday, nothing was running...are you sure...I mean, it looks like this didn't just happen today.

[Boy, he needed a drink to sit down.]

[infinitemormetn.livejournal.com]

It's... been two years, si- Mokuba. We were even drawing power from the reactor to power objects around the office.

I'll see if I can find Dr. Fudou. Hopefully he'll have more information for you.

[kaibacorp-vp.livejournal.com]

[Ok this definitely isn't right, but nothing is at the moment so Mokuba's going to roll with it...and come to think of it Rex does look a little older then he remembers...kinda...he shakes his head.]

That's amazing...more than we hoped for in two years anyway.

Wait, Dr. Fudou is here? [He perks up]

[egyptianmage.livejournal.com]

This might interest you! There's a pair of eight year olds running by! What's so interesting? One is an eight year old version of the Dark Magician in high class Ancient Egyptian Clothes. Not enough? How about the equally 8 year old Set that's running with him, playing 'kick the ball'?

Only one is an illusion and I won't tell you who is who. But the clue is in the name!

[kaibacorp-vp.livejournal.com]

[WHAT.]

H-hey! Wait!

[Mokuba tries to get your attention...whatever you are...because clearly he's hallucinating.]

[egyptianmage.livejournal.com]

"hmm?" Chibi Maha has manners and stops for you. chibi Set was inprepared and ran into Chibi Maha.

Both are on the ground, so feel free to talk!

[kaibacorp-vp.livejournal.com]

[Mokuba grins a bit at their antics, real or not...wait does that little boy look like...]

Who are you guys?

I have no chibi icons for either. Sorry.

[egyptianmage.livejournal.com]

Climbing to his feet, Chibi Maha dusted himself off and tried to regain some of his lost dignity. Yeah I know, never will happen, but you can't blame him can you?

"My name is Mahaado, I'm the Pharaoh's High Magician, and in modern terms the Dark Magician... Or at least I would look the part if not for the current status of my master who has decided I should look like a child. As well as have my powers manifest an illusion of Set..." Looking at you Set.... a pity the kid can't understand Japanese, and Mahaado's own Japanese is accented from his homeland. "And you would be?"

Set's just looking up at you... Doesn't know who you are and doesn't care for the moment. But you're interrupting their game >|

Well I have just the one, so it's cool ^^

[kaibacorp-vp.livejournal.com]

...duel monster [Mokuba says under his breath.]

Oh, my name is Mokuba. Mokuba Kaiba. [He extends his hand to you, hoping to determine your...realness by a handshake.]

[egyptianmage.livejournal.com]

There's this long stare because he doesn't quite grasp handshakes. That and his mind is going: Great, the Pharaoh gets chased around by those... what were they called...? 'Fangirls'? Of which I now must protect him from. NOW I can expect to do it all over again when Mokuba grows up? Pharaoh the things I do for you.

"Ahh... what are you doing?"

[kaibacorp-vp.livejournal.com]

It's a handshake, you shake hands with someone when you meet them...[He brings his hand back to his side.]

But I guess they don't do that in Egypt, right?

[egyptianmage.livejournal.com]

"I was under the impression the Japanese bow... Oh..." So he sticks his hand out in the same manner Mokuba did.

\Who is that?\ Set asked, nudging Mahaado now. Speaking in his own language. Egyptian that is.

\He will be your brother.\ Mahaado replied simply.

\My parents are dead, how is 'he' going to happen? He's older then me! How 'would' he happen, I would expect mother to tell me!\ >|

\The gods work in mysterious ways.\ Mental whistling...

\... He's awfully pale. At least he's not ugly.\

And for a brief moment, Mahaado forgot that Set was Atemu's cousin and inherited the throne of Egypt. Enough to smack Set upside the head without a backwards glance.

D<

Hey Mokie? Was your Kaiba ever prone to momentary explosions of verbal wraith? If so, you recognize the look in Set's face!

[kaibacorp-vp.livejournal.com]

Ah, yeah I'm not much for the traditional Japanese bow [Mokuba shakes what mun will assume is a solid, very real hand. There goes the hologram question.

He's mildly amused at the banter, but oh boy does that kid look like his Niisama. Mokuba's going to kneel down to Set's height and try to get his attention.]

Hey...what's your name?

[egyptianmage.livejournal.com]

\How dare you hit me! You go from Kitten to Lion in the span of seconds? How is that fair?!\ Set is a touch angry... But he's eying you at least.

"Ah, this is Set, he's an illusion manifested through the will of your brother. That is to say, he's making 'me' manifest him and well... Set didn't speak Japanese. I don't know of Kaiba is able to hear the conversations back in our own reality... but..." Annd Maha turns slowly to look at Set.

:< <--- This is Maha

D< <--- This is Set

And somehow 3000 years ago in Ancient Egypt they were best friends. But yes, Maha feels very real, due to Kaiba's control over him, Set does too! Because Mahaado is just that awesome of a mage, even if he looks like a chibi.

[kaibacorp-vp.livejournal.com]

[Whoa, whoa...what.]

Wait...my brother...is this whole thing some kind of illusion? Did I get kidnapped in a VR again [Mokuba gestures around him.]

[egyptianmage.livejournal.com]

"Yes, that is correct, Set is an illusion created by my magic. Though why he was created is a question best left to Kaiba. However; until I am able to return 'home' and ask him myself... I can not fathom why Kaiba would will me into creating Set. As for all of this..." And with that Maha gestures around the island. "No this is real, I am unsure of how to describe it properly as I have been rather distracted from investigating it myself. That aside, because I know how Kaiba can be. How may I be of service?"

\I know that tone, you want to work again...\ Set is not a happy person at the moment.

[undead-seaworld.livejournal.com]

[Somewhere hovering above you is purple baby-eating whale god. On top of it, a man Mokuba might recognize. Unfortunately, he's just as ignorant about the whole Zero Reverse situation as you are.]

Hey there!

[He waves largely. Yes, that huge mop of black hair looks familiar from up there. He's hoping his assumptions are right.]

[kaibacorp-vp.livejournal.com]

[Wow...that definitely has to be an illusion, and the man on top of this illusion has to be none other than the sea obsessed, water deck wielding Kajiki Ryota.]

...uhhh [yelling] Hi! Do you know what's going on here?

[undead-seaworld.livejournal.com]

[Kajiki rides Chacu in a little closer to the ground and crawls up on the whale's head to be more visible. And then realizes that--]

OH. Wow, you grew up FAST! [He's more than a little surprised at seeing Mokuba as an adult.] When did you get here?

And, no I... don't know what's going on. Did I miss something exciting?

[kaibacorp-vp.livejournal.com]

[Have more startled surprise.]

Uhh, yeah it's been awhile since we've seen each other.

Actually I just got here...I guess...I'm not sure really.

[undead-seaworld.livejournal.com]

Oh! Well, then. Expect to be here for a while. I've been trapped on this island for months. No mainland as far out as I've fared!

It's a nice place, though. Peaceful, great fishing... haha, everything a man could want!

[Chacu chooses this moment to wail at him, a low rumbling whine.]

[kaibacorp-vp.livejournal.com]

[Ok now he's worried, confused, and startled. Mokuba looks around.]

Trapped? What do you mean island? This isn't Domino?

[He's trying SO hard to ignore the "hologram" Kajiki is riding on.]

Oh hai. I totally overlooked this tag. I'm so sorry. ;~:

[undead-seaworld.livejournal.com]

This island, people from all different dimensions land on here, and not a one can find a way off. I've traveled hundreds of miles out to sea, and there's not another spec of land in sight.

There's a part of the island that looks like Domino, but it's... [He frowns.] ...not what it used to be.

[Chacu makes some more noises. Kajiki scratches lightly around his blowhole.]
