soraaa ╰(*´︶`*)╯ guess what?
i remembered everything in my dream!
like meeting you again in synchro, and the stuff that happened after that in the xyz dimension
i even got some more people from academia to duel for smiles...!
i thought you should know
also i wanted to thank you for coming around on your own hehe. it looks like i didnt get the chance

<candy-crusher>

[chocolaterazor]

Oh, so you did huh?

Yeah, that's great Yuya. That's really- wait so that's where you went after Synchro?

[Yuya's praise for Sora aside... well he can give the excuse that no one asked him what happened to Yuzu with the wormholes. No lying there, just an omission of the truth.]

<hipponotic>

[pundulum]

[Well, considering that he believes Ryslig happened after a gap in the memory, it's easier to have faith that the wormhole didn't put her somewhere unreachable. Because she'd end up here at the end... unless it was still because she died, but he tries hard to put that worry out of his mind. He was going to save Yuzu. He believed that he would...]

yeah... sawatari, gongenzaka, kurosaki and i all ended up at the edge of heartland... we met the members of resistance, and edo phoenix and the tyler sisters

i don't know what happened to yuzu after that... i'm guessing you don't either ??

[I mean, it would still be nice not to have to worry.]

<candy-crusher>

[chocolaterazor]

[Whether or not any of those names from Academia ring a bell, Sora doesn't comment.]

No, I don't.... Maybe it'll come back to me later.

[But hey, Yuya remembering their conversation again is one small weight off their shoulders.]

[PRE-EVENT]

[soft_focus]

[The arcade is a nice place to be, even if Reira can't stay very long these days. Talking to Elias especially, often helps a number of her doubts-less about the state of gods, and more about...General things. General feelings, life, and so on. It feels, in a sense, like having her brother back-except she supposes Elias is too cheery for that.

Maybe he's more like if Reiji and Yuuya somehow became the same person.

It's hardly the point, however. And Reira exits from the stairs that lead down behind the arcade's prize counter with about her typical expression of blankness, in the sense that she's thinking about what to do next. Her homework? Some games? TV? (She can't watch any Bunyip Inquisition, but maybe a tv movie is on..?)

...except....

...She's not the only one in the arcade right now, is she.]

[chocolaterazor]

[Indeed, but such a thing would usually be the case. A certain robot strolls up and leans against the counter, flicking their own arcade keycard between mechanical yet still deft fingers covered in false flesh.]

It's not really an exclusive club if he just hands these out whenever someone asks to join, is it?

[Sora's lion face is down, no kaomoji for you.]

[soft_focus]

[Hoo boy.] ....Anyone can come in, but you can't stay very long if you don't have a key. ...And if you don't prove he can trust you, you don't get to see a lot from him, [she response, rather obviously still unsure about him.]

[chocolaterazor]

All those people initially brought here... they turned into things that fed on the memories of monsters.

[And staring with the soulless-looking eyes of the cat face.]

Of course he wouldn't have recognized me, but I was attacked by Kurosaki during that time actually.

<CARD-00-10>

[godofnothingness]

[At some point after they Finally Trade Dang Addresses, Sora's going to get...This.]

OI MATE

MATE MATE MATE MATE MATE

let's duel

We can even set it all up in the text

[] [] [] [] []
[] [] [] [] []

Like that-

[That sounds dumb just invite him over idiot.]

<candy-crusher>

[chocolaterazor]

Or one of us could just invite the other over. Seems easier.

[godofnothingness]

You didn't strike me as the sort to want anyone in your home or anything

[chocolaterazor]

And you're not?

< hazyreflection >

[intercalaryninja]

I'd rather be doing this face to face but you've been mysteriously absent as of late.

So how long were you going to keep that a secret?

<candy-crusher>

[chocolaterazor]

[Is this what he thinks it's about? Goddammit, of course the spider was still keeping track of him.]

I was going to get around to it.

< hazyreflection >

[intercalaryninja]

[He has five blood links and he's only using two. What else is he going to track?]

Really now.

So are you going to explain yourself? Or come back and do it to my face?

[chocolaterazor]

Where can we talk without the possibility of being eavesdropped on, then?

<marco>

[peccatore]

Hello. :)

We haven't really met, have we? My name is Marco.

And, well, this is going to sound a little sudden. I'm not sure how you feel about the Fourth God, and I understand if you're hesitant
But he thought you might be interested, so I'm here to pass on the message:

Would you like to visit your home for 72 hours?

<candy-crusher>

[chocolaterazor]

[Yeah no, he's not buying this that easily.]

You're serious? He's serious? I haven't even had the chance yet to really show my devotion to his cause. [Hah. Hahaha.]

I'd say it sounds like you're going through a lot of trouble just to pull a prank, but I'm sure it wasn't that hard for a certain someone to connect you here.

[peccatore]

[Okay, Marco expected and was ready to work with some reluctance, but this goes a little bit beyond that.]

I'm sorry, I don't know what you mean.

[chocolaterazor]

Of course you don't, so I guess I'll have to humor this invitation.]

[He will definitely be there.]

EARLY OCTOBER-PRE ARRIVALS

[soft_focus]

[Aha. Finally, after a fair amount of time, Reira manages to spot Sora before Sora spots her. The problem with her timestop is it encompasses anyone under Elias' alliance. Stopping time doesn't give her the edge she needs.

Reira blinks one eye at a time, determined not to let the other have a chance to flash-step away.]

Found you..!

[GOD!

She balls her fists, swallowing.] ...Why're you avoiding me..?

[chocolaterazor]

Avoiding you?

[Sora, don't play that dumb.]

You do know I don't always sit around in one place, right?

[soft_focus]

I'm not 7, Sora.

[Oooooh...]

And you always leave right when I come in now! It's not even something you're keeping secret now! Just tell me why!

Why can't you just tell me things?

[chocolaterazor]

[A pause and then-] What makes you think I'm supposed to tell you anything? Because you always want to know everything?

DEC 25

[soft_focus]

[Merry Nattenfest, Sora; aside from cookies and coupons and charms, Reira's included a list of places open at all hours in Bavan- including the non-god-aligned Arcade.

She's also giving Sora one of the more recent McGucket V-Pets.]
