do we have enough Yuuseis yet?

[junk-savior.livejournal.com]

[Yuusei doesn't notice anything particularly wrong at first; he's too upset, his eyes are squeezed shut, and that tower is still there.  It's a long moment before he looks up and glances back to where he'd left Crow and the twins and Ushio--and doesn't see them.

That's usually a bad sign.]

Crow?!  Rua!  Ruka!  Where are you?!

Crow!

[And now he's going to be looking around frantically--as frantically as Yuusei ever gets, anyway--praying the Dark Signers didn't kidnap his friends for defeating one of them.  He'd appreciate learning that he doesn't really have to worry after all.]

[Suddenly, BREASTS JACK APPEARS.]

Aren't you forgetting someone?

[junk-savior.livejournal.com]

[Yuusei turns around, looking a little relieved.]

Jack! You're still o--

[And then kind of horrified and bewildered.]

...Jack...?

[donotshitonme.livejournal.com]

Nice to see you again too--!

[Oh look at how bright those signs are lighting up! Jack is looking down at his her mark with complete and utter annoyance. And talking to it in that vein. As he speaks to it, it lights up even more, almost as if its angered by Jack's words.]

...No, I'm not killing him. No, you can't make me.

...

HEY. SHUT UP. I'M NOT DOING THAT TO HIM EITHER!

MIND YOUR OWN DAMN BUSINESS!

[junk-savior.livejournal.com]

[Yuusei stares down at the mark on his own arm in shock. sure, their marks have reacted to each other before, but not outside a duel. And--his gaze moves to Jack's arm and just looks more shocked and hurt--Jack's mark was supposed to glow red.

He almost doesn't notice that Jack's arguing with something he can't hear; he's too shocked.]

Jack...you...

What happened to you?! Why are you a Dark Signer?

[donotshitonme.livejournal.com]

I DON'T KNOW!

...

SHUT UP!!

[junk-savior.livejournal.com]

[Blink.


This is Yuusei being quiet and still horrified.]

[donotshitonme.livejournal.com]

[She growls at her arm.]

[junk-savior.livejournal.com]

[Well...it seems like Jack doesn't want to kill him. There's no saying he doesn't want to kill someone else, but that's still a little encouraging.

Of course, now is about the time he really notices, or at least acknowledges, that Jack isn't exactly a "he" anymore. As if his brain wasn't broken enough before...]

Jack...


What's going on?

[donotshitonme.livejournal.com]

Hrrgh.

[Well, that shut the damn thing up for a moment.]

Good question. I was dueling Carly, and the next thing I know, she activates this...card. And then I'm here. As a woman.

...

[Frown!]

[Kiryu here, has been getting supplies and is on his way back to the new hideout. He is moving quietly, carefully, staying in the shadows and off the main road whenever he can - he doesn't want to risk leading his double to them after all. However noticing this particularly distraught Yusei (and unable to do anything but remember his own panicked search from not too long ago) he steps out of the alley, he has been hiding in.]

Which one are you looking for? And who the hell are Rua and Ruka?

[junk-savior.livejournal.com]

[Yuusei freezes in shock. That voice...he thought he'd never hear that voice again. His heart aches a bit to hear it now and remember the last time he'd heard it a few minutes ago when Kiryu died in his arms. It couldn't be, could it?

But that was his voice, even if what he was saying was a little confusing.

He hesitated a moment--what if it was just a trick--but finally turns around. His whole expression lights up. Who cared if Kiryu was wearing his Team Satisfaction clothes? Maybe whatever force that had revived him thought he'd be happier that way.]

Kiryu! You're...I thought you were gone...

[shatteredleader.livejournal.com]

[It isn't just Yusei's heart that aches, because seeing Yusei glowing like he is now, just at seeing him, leaves him with a bitter sweet feeling (because his Yusei hates him, and so would any other given the circumstances - he knows this and he thinks he deserves it… and yet, he can't help but be selfish. Can't help but want to regain the bonds with his brothers, especially Yusei.) His fists clench a bit as he tries to smirk confidently, like so long, so long ago.]

I'm not easy to get rid of. Though…

[He hesitates a moment as he hears his madness whisper (how it is fairly obvious that this Yusei couldn't have been here for long, how he is happy to see Kiryu. How much easier it would be to lie and pretend, how nice it would be not to be hated…).

He blinks, his attempted smirk slipping into a sad smile, showing his sorrow and regret. It would be so easy to lie. Except that he has sworn so long ago never to lie to Yusei again. Because he owes him the truth and more after the sacrifice he has made.]

Though I'm not the one, you are thinking of.

[junk-savior.livejournal.com]

[Yuusei's smile slips a little to be replaced by confusion. He wasn't the Kiryu he was thinking of? Did that mean Kiryu still hated him? But if that were the case, wouldn't he have said so? He'd made sure Yuusei knew it before, after all.]

What do you mean?

[shatteredleader.livejournal.com]

You really just have come here, right?

[Kiryu sighs, he never really had to explain this before. And was there really a way to explain this strange place (and make it sound sane)?]

It's this place. There are a lot's of people going 'round from different worlds. Lots of doubles too. Loads of "yous" actually. … It's weird, but you get used to it after a while…

[junk-savior.livejournal.com]

[Yuusei just looks more confused at first, since he didn't think he'd gone anywhere. The scenery hadn't changed at all...]

"This place"? This isn't Satellite?

[shatteredleader.livejournal.com]

Sure looks like Satellite, doesn't it? But, yeah, it isn't. There's a beach further down that way, and there is some kind of forest further out over there.

[He points out the directions as he talks, the shrugs.] I haven't really explored beyond the Satellite though.

[junk-savior.livejournal.com]

Yeah...A beach, huh? [He has to smile a little at that thought. it might be nice to see a real beach.]

What do you mean, "loads of 'mes'"?

I need to stop doing this

[lightbound-ruka.livejournal.com]

[What do you mean, there is always cause for worry-]

Another one?

XD no, you need to do it more; assuming she looks dead?

[junk-savior.livejournal.com]

Ruka!

[Yuusei, again, looks a little relieved until he turns around and pales in horror.]

Ruka...What happened to you?

ffff right well jacking posts with hideous is a-go. And yes. Yes she does.

[lightbound-ruka.livejournal.com]

[Ruka is getting tired of this talk. So she changes it.]

What are you talking about? Nothing happened to me - not recently, anyway.

\o/

[junk-savior.livejournal.com]

[He's trying to wrap his head around that, he really is.]

But...you were okay just a minute ago...

:D also as I do not have as many icons as I need, LET'S JUST SAY EVERYTHING IS DEAD FOR NOW

[lightbound-ruka.livejournal.com]

[LET'S MESS WITH HIS MIND SOME, SHALL WE? THAT SOUNDS FUN.]

Wh... what d-do you mean?

XD works for me~

[junk-savior.livejournal.com]

[THAT DOES NOT SOUND LIKE FUN; HE DOES NOT LIKE THIS BRAIN BREAKING STUFF, THANK YOU. Yeah, that just worries him more. He's cautious about it, but he gets down on one knee so he can look at her more directly.]

While I was dueling Kiryu. You and Rua and Crow and Ushio were watching, remember? It was just a minute or two ago.

[lightbound-ruka.livejournal.com]

W-what?

[junk-savior.livejournal.com]

Ruka...

What's the last thing you remember?
