Who let these two out? ... oh... that's right. Me. |D

((OOC: Warning this is a multi level thread. Meaning that you can't really just hit 'comment' and reply. Because there are many area's that Set is dragging Maha around to, and each has it's own thread. So you have to enter and look to see where you want to find the pair. With that the introduction to a crack track.))

Mahaado was wondering when Kaiba would show pity upon the magician and let him have his adult form back. Even if adult only equaled 17 summers. But regardless he found himself next to a river on the island and Set was... Oh gods above he looked bored.
\Set? Whatever it is that you have planned, please stop it. For the sake of life itself just... no...\
\I'm bored, you may be fine with sitting around all through Ra's journey and just read. But I want to do something!\
\And with that, peace ends on the island.\

Pegasus Castle

[egyptianmage.livejournal.com]

Ahh Pegasus Castle, it holds memories for his Pharaoh... It was where he beat the 'Creator of the Game'. A nice castle all in all, but the pair were used to the palace of the Pharaoh. Meaning you'll find Set anywhere he can get into, an Mahaado is following him like a woebegone ghost.

\This place is different from the Palace of the Pharaoh. Should we take it and give it to him as a gift?\ Set asked as he looked about the main hallway.
\Pharaoh will not take lightly that you offer him something stolen.\

Satellite

Feel free to notice the pair walking down the street. Feel free for D-Wheelers to find Set crawling all over your D-Wheel studying it, and chatting excitedly with Mahaado. With Mahaado panicking and trying to pry the illusion away from said items. Yes, they still look like 8 year olds.

\What is this?\
\I don't know.\
\It has two wheels like a cart, but they're in the wrong places... But if this is 'right' and it should be... how does it 'move'?\
\I don't know.\

Anyone who finds them when they're in here can assume that you will be learning 'I don't know' in Egyptian very quickly. And unlike Peggy's castle which they were at around in the morning... it's nearing noon when they get here.

Either at D-wheels or just walking around, you'll find these two all the same.

[Well somewhere along the street, sitting on the front step of some random building or another and having a smoke is a Crow. Although not of what is considered the usual breed. There's no face-markers on him, and he has a badass ridiculous sleeve tattoo of the monsters that make up his deck curling up his right arm.

Technically he's still in that Light-cult that's lurking about, and is supposed to be, at the very least, looking for new members occasionally. If he gets an odd look on his face it's because he actually considered recruiting small children for about a second before his conscience said, "no, that's really, really, wrong."]

[egyptianmage.livejournal.com]

Well Set spotted this Crow first! But he finds the tattoos rather fascinating and dragged Mahaado over.

\Hmm what are those pictures on his arms? They're colored even! Was he born like that?\

\Set? I am not Thoth, I do not have that type of instant access to knowledge,\ which is Maha's polite way of saying: Stop pestering me with questions I can't answer!

But the pair 'are' curious and venture closer to Crow, with Set studying Crow's tattoo's. His expression clearly curious, but a bit guarded. Maha just looks a little tired... Stupid illusion won't stop running around and Maha wants a nap!

[pitcrow.livejournal.com]

[And once he realizes that he appears to have drawn kidlet attention he quickly puts out his smoke (not wanting to be a total horrible influence) and giving an awkward sort of smile. Especially given that tatt scrutiny. He's proud of his ink, but it is a little embarrassing to be gawked at.]

Um... hi. You two lost?

[He is from a world where city destroying disasters never happened, so in his mind children shouldn't be wandering around post-apocalyptic slums on their own.]

[egyptianmage.livejournal.com]

"Ah hello," Mahaado gives a polite bow, while Set drops to take up the rear and still curious. "No, we're not lost, just... Well one could say we're just looking around. Forgive the staring, we've never seen such a style of color... ahh that is to say..."

Maha's trying to think of how to politely ask about the tat's.

[pitcrow.livejournal.com]

Whu? [There's very little need for tact around Benji-Crow since occasionally it goes over his head he's prone to cheerfully blurting things himself and doesn't really care if anyone else does too. Although he catches the drift rather quickly and quite happily lifts his arm so it can be more easily studied while he goes off on a tangent.]

Oh! Nice, isn't it? I got every monster in my deck put on here. I was only gonna get one but in the end I had to do the whole thing. It was just... right.

[Oh, wait. Maybe he should actually try to be a good role model.] It's permanent though. You don't go doing this sort of thing for kicks. It was a serious decision. [Sort of. As serious as he can be about anything, anyway.]

[egyptianmage.livejournal.com]

Mahaado quickly explained to Set, who had begun to walk over on his own, Maha in tow now. After a bit of study Set looked up at Crow, then at Mahaado and began talking.

"Ah, Set wants to know, how did you get the colors into your arm. Also he wants to know if you wear something different when dueling. Because it seems like a tactical disadvantage to him, letting your opponent what you carry..."

[pitcrow.livejournal.com]

Needles. They use 'em to put ink under your skin. It hurts some, but you don't go getting something this big in one sitting either. [In fact, if you look closely enough it's obvious that a few of them aren't entirely finished. Or at least not fully coloured.]

And it doesn't really matter tactically. People are always researching their opponents in the pros. Working around how much the other guy knows about your style is just part of the game. 'Course, I got my riding suit on when I'm D-wheeling, anyway. So yea, it's covered.

[egyptianmage.livejournal.com]

What is it with Crow and kids?

The world may never know...

"D-Wheeling?" That got Mahaado's attention, Set's still working on the process of putting ink to skin once Maha finished explaining it to him. But Mahaado is a little more curious now, you got his full attention Crow! o\

[pitcrow.livejournal.com]

[And if there's one thing Crow (especially this one) loves to do, it's talk.] Yea, riding duels. You know, motorbikes and everything. You ever see one before? They're their own kind of amazing.

[egyptianmage.livejournal.com]

"Motorbikes?" This is said rather slowly, because Mahaado is trying to figure out what that means. He knows what a limo is because of Kaiba, but a motorbike is another story. But he HAS seen one before, but you'll have to explain it a little more in detail for him to relate to it.

Also he'll project an illusion of what he's thinking of as a visual aid for the three of them.

[pitcrow.livejournal.com]

Um, yea. You know. A motorbike. It's like a bicycle, except it's got a motor in it so it runs by itself. You don't have to peddle it or anything. [Kids should know what a regular bike is, right? The fact that these kids could be from several thousand years in the past isn't even occurring to him (although it really should by this point)

And hey, hologram projection without a duel disc. Nifty. Especially since he can't see any obvious projector.]

[egyptianmage.livejournal.com]

STARING BLANKLY at Crow... "Ah... we did not have such things in my time... I am only aware of modern means of transportation due to the Pharaoh, and that Kaiba won't ride in anything less then a Limo unless forced."

Quick bow because he's embarrassed.

Set? Is still admiring the work on your arm you might think it not possible to stay interested. But for Set this peaks his interest in several ways....

No Set, illusions, such as yourself, can NOT get tats.

[pitcrow.livejournal.com]

Oh. Um..... [He hesitates for a moment, trying to wrap his head around the best way to explain this even as his brow lifts slightly at the invocation of the Kaiba name... his father works for KaibaCorp after all.]

A bike's just got two wheels, one on each end. You sit between them, and with an ordinary bicycle you push these peddles with your feet that turns a chain that turns the back wheel and makes it go. A motorbike you don't have to do that, it's got an engine like a car... just smaller. So it moves by itself. And you steer by turning the front wheel with a set of handles.....

[He's not very good at this sort of thing. But he's certainly gesturing quite a bit as he tries.]

[egyptianmage.livejournal.com]

"oh! You mean one of these things?" And thus an illusion of Yusei's D-Wheel appears beside Mahaado at the flick of a wrist. It's not a complete replication, he didn't snoop into details when he found it with a Yusei attached to it. But it's a good visual to go by. "But isn't it dangerous to entrust your safety to a machine when dueling?"

[pitcrow.livejournal.com]

Yea, that's it! [And he is seriously impressed with the illusion. Looking it over and mostly wondering where the hell it's being projected from.] They ain't that dangerous. There's some pretty sophisticated auto pilot attached to 'em. And if you're good enough you can drive and duel. I've only crashed a couple times, nothing serious. [Lies. He's crashed lots.]

[egyptianmage.livejournal.com]

\Oh? What's this thing?\ Set asked looking from the tats to the D-wheel.

\Think of a metal horse,\ Mahaado replied, because that was the easiest way he could think to explain. Quickest too, because Set has joined Crow in snooping.

\Make it solid then!\ Set ordered, and Mahaado on instinct obeyed.

"I saw a person building this here on this island. Is he a friend of yours?" Mahaado asked, looking over at Crow.

[pitcrow.livejournal.com]

Um... maybe vaguely. I ain't friends with a lot of people around here. But there's doubles of people I know and stuff. [He idly pokes at the illusion with a finger, since focusing on that is easier than focusing on how generally lonely he is... and is even more impressed now.]

Man, how the hell'd you do that?

[egyptianmage.livejournal.com]

"Oh, I know how that feels," Mahaado sighed after he spoke. Set had climbed onto the illusion and finally figured out how he was supposed to sit on the thing.

Wheel of Fortune would blow his Fing MIND.

"As for how it is able to feel real, well because it's magic."

[pitcrow.livejournal.com]

Magic? [Well, that would explain how a small boy is happily sitting on top of a very solid bit of what Benji-Crow still considers to be Solid Vision. But....]

C'mon, you can't expect me to believe that. That's bullshi- uh... crap. [Mind the language around the small ones.]

[egyptianmage.livejournal.com]

"Yes, I'm a magician... Well... I would be more recognizable if I didn't look like a child..." And he's tilted his head to the side, more internally thinking than anything else.

\You know, if these things moved it would be easier to climb in... how do grown ups climb in?\ And Set's hanging over one of the arms....

\I'm sure it probably does, but I did not ask for an demonstration when I found the person building this device,\ Mahaado pointed out, over his shoulder towards his 'friend'.

[pitcrow.livejournal.com]

Wait. You got magic and you ain't a kid? [And that is one seriously disbelieving stare he's shooting in Mahado's direction.] Cute. But, really now.... That's pretty hard to believe.

[egyptianmage.livejournal.com]

"It's the truth! I am not lying! I serve a master who recalls me like this more fondly... so I look like this... I'm not alive you see, so my form is really well..."

Internal chibi tears of frustration is GO!

The Night Club

[egyptianmage.livejournal.com]

What's a night club? Set doesn't know and he's dying to sneak in, if you let him in, he's studying the interior with bright eyed fascination, if you find him outside, you find him trying to 'find' a way to sneak in.

By now Mahaado is just |<

Dinner time shouldn't be at a night club children.

[king-of-funk.livejournal.com]

'Ey! 'Ey, kid, what da fuck you doin' out here? [Whoops, you just got caught by Jack.]

[egyptianmage.livejournal.com]

Mahaado jerked into attention at the voice, Set comically fell back a step from his peaking around the boxes.

"Ahh well..." And Mahaado turned to look at the new comer. "That is to say, we were a little curious about this place..."

Set wasn't climbing down from his perch, but he watched the new person with a curious gaze.

[king-of-funk.livejournal.com]

[He looks at Set. And then back at Mahaado.]

Y'all friends a Luca's or somethin'? 'Cause she ain't here right now.

[egyptianmage.livejournal.com]

"Luca? Who is that?" Friends hmm? Well, he never did find that little girl he met before when he was struck deaf... "Well I'm trying to get Set to understand that... he just won't listen..."

\Let's 'not' let the Prince meet this guy. His hair is wild enough as it is, he doesn't need ideas.\ Set pointed out in Egyptian, and Maha quietly wanted to face palm because of it.

[king-of-funk.livejournal.com]

Why you gotta be doin' all dat talkin' where I don' know whachoo sayin', huh? Look, dis place is fo' grown-ups. Y'all can't be out here playin' whi'e we tryin' to run a business, yo!

[egyptianmage.livejournal.com]

"I am a grown up... I am just... well... Unable to appear as I am..."

\Couldn't you use A Thousand Knives to give this guy a hair cut?\ Set asked, his head tilted to the side.

O_O <-- Maha.

D< <--- Still Maha.

\That is an attack spell! Not a personal grooming spell!\

\Anyways, I think I found a way in! Come on!\ And Set is now on the move again climbing through a small window...

Maha is chibi weeping internally now.

[king-of-funk.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Right. An' I'm a Oompa Loompa. [He frowns even more when they start speaking Egyptian again.] 'Ey, quit dat! Donchoo know dazz rude?

Gitcho ass down from dere! [Jack climbs up after little Set.] Dis ain't no playgroun', 'aight?

[egyptianmage.livejournal.com]

"What's an Oo-pa Loo-pa?" He asks as he follows the pair...

You haven't figured out yet that Set can't understand you, have you? hehehe

Set's gone! Well Gone as in, he's through the window and inside... and Mahaado is a patient, internally weeping chibi...

[king-of-funk.livejournal.com]

[Aggggggh! Jack flails. THE KID GOT AWAY!] SHIT! If daddy finds him, my ass is fucking.

[He turns to Mahaado.] Yo, kid! You best gitcho friend 'fo my boss finds out he's in dere.

[Jack slams through the back door to get where Set should logically have ended up.]

[egyptianmage.livejournal.com]

"What does your boss look like?" Mahaado asks as he trots after Jack. Because SOMEONE has longer legs and can move faster then a current chibi.

Hot Springs

[egyptianmage.livejournal.com]

After dinner travels brings the pair back here. Mainly because damn it! He's dead and now Dead Tired! Maha wants a soak, and you'll find Set tied up beside him!

\Your anger has made the water steam up.\
\Set....\

For your fun, the fact is that Maha and therefore Set, can not feel the water temperature, they don't get that it's a 'Hot' Spring. In the sense of the word that the water is 'hot'.
