A highschool full of Yu-Gi-Oh! (RP)

[Fairy Tale Dreamer]

Avery looked at Duke and got worried. "Dukey are you ok do we need to get you home?" Avery asked staying by her boyfriends side hoping she could help him in any way she could. "Dukey is there anything I can get you anything to help you?" Avery asked while hugging him as he was sitting for she really didn't know what to do.

[Lord Ziek]

"No, no, I'm okay." Duke said trying to get it together. Everything was suddenly hitting him so much harder. "I don't want to go back home... not after that... I don't even know if I can go to the Arcade let alone live above it.... Yusei... is it cool if we chill by you? Or Raphi? I just can't take this shit right now..."

Duke always prided himself on be the sexiest thing alive, but right now, he didn't even stop to think about how he looked. He was rather distraught, and just didn't know how he would return to the place where they had all lost their friend... how they would party, and continue on without him... it just almost felt wrong.

Mora heard the word 'murder' going about. She hadn't been texted by Duke, but word caught up to her about what had happened. Apparently, somebody had been shot by a substitute teacher; a heinous act. Well, Mora knew who wasn't getting a spot in Halivine at least. And then, a duel between Melvin and Raphiella began. It was very fast, but impressive. The Winged Dragon of Ra...based on one of the gods the Egyptians worshipped; the god of the sun. An interesting card, but as far as god cards, Mora preferred Obelisk the Tormentor.

Then whatever it was, Mora wasn't sure, something hit Duke and he didn't seem to feel so well. "Are you certain you're alright? If you don't feel like yourself, it's usually good to let people know." That was the thing about some people, Mora had observed some years ago; they're great at pointing out the flaws in others, but not so much with their own flaws. Mora knew all of her flaws already, and accepted them. That was a step to enter Halivine. And to her knowledge, there weren't many people like Duke Devlin there. Perhaps he wasn't human?? Maybe he was an incubus given his looks, or based on what she'd heard in the past, a sex god.

Yusei looked at Duke. It was so strange to see him doing anything other than flaunting his sexiness all about the place. He sighed and patted his friend on the back.

"My HQ is always open for ya man. We're staying at Raphiella's though, so if you want to stay at her house you'll have to convince Melly over here." Yusei was still fighting the urge to vomit again.

"Don't really care." Melvin said without any emotion to his voice.

He started to remember what had happened. They were all partying, dressed as Ninjas... then out of nowhere.... BANG! He turned... Kaitou, the theif kid... collapsed into a mess of his own blood... Yusei remembered what it felt like to be sprayed with blood as it happened... he had been standing right beside the kid... he even held him in his arms as he laid dying... kids screaming and scattering... Melvin then grabbing Raphi and running off screaming at Yusei to catch up... it was chaos...

Yusei wiped the tears from his eyes and turned away from the others. He disappeared into the bathrooms and decided not to come out.

Marik and Four pretty much sat there silent. There wasn't much to say that hadn't already been said. There were no words of comfort, no saying that it would be better, or "go away"...No. This was permanent and forever. The loss of their friend - who was completely innocent to the situation... sicked them.

Raphiella saw Yusei crying and somehow everything just rubbed off on her too.

"He, he called me... Aether had... he told me that it was going to happen and I didn't react fast enough..." She started to cry and Melvin grabbed her and held onto her. She felt horrible that she'd froze and had gotten scared... she felt even worse knowing that Yusei was tearing himself to shreds over it. He had long been her protector since she was young, sometimes even against Melvin... and she longed to protect him in return but she couldn't even defend herself against her own thoughts.

"There's nothing we can do but move on. We have to kill this fucking bastard before one of us is next." Melvin said firmly. He grabbed some of Raphi's hair and pushed it to one side. It was so long it irritated him.

"Why do I get the feeling that this dick is after you?" Marik asked his twin that he didn't know all that well.

"Because he is." Four got to his feet and stretched. "He wants Melvin dead because Melvin stabbed him. Hence why he was transferred here where I came to hunt his ass down and kill him myself. Time will come. But for now I'm helping you guys." Four said flatly.

Melvin thought about punching his foster brother in the face... but looked down and sighed. Raphi was too busy falling apart again.

[Lord Ziek]

Everywhere Duke looked - he saw nothing but pain, suffering, agony. It was depressing. He was happy that they would be allowed to stay with Raphiella and them if needed, or with Jaden at the HQ. He looked and Mora, and spoke to her.

"Thank you for the concern... I just... I just need some time to get my shit together. Avery and I had no idea what happened until after everyone else had. And it's just hard to even think of never seeing Kaitou again. He was just so cool and ....it's just not fair." Duke sighed, and grabbed Avery's hand. He knew that she could comfort him somehow.

"Dawgs! We need to figure somethin' out man. This shit is waaaay outta hand and Aether, A-Dawg is gonna blast us!" Jaden exclaimed. Someone yelled for him to silence and told him that he was not black and he shut up.

"We have school tomorrow.... what are we going to do?" Duke wondered allowed.

He looked up to see Raphi in tears, and Yusei wandering away to try and gather himself. Everyone was falling apart. The only sturdy people seemed to be Melvin and his foster brother Four - who had stabbed Raphi, Dartz, and Kaitou just days before. And they were working with him as a friend... all because Aether broke his arm and kicked his face in. Then Dartz had and he was almost killed. Duke wondered why Raphiella even bothered to have him taken to the ER... She was just too nice for her own good.

"So you do have a softer side." Duke muttered, seeing Melvin try to take care of the kid with the blue hair. He really did love her... even though he beat the shit out of her all the time. Duke Devlin would never understand how all of that worked out. And the thoughts of Melvin doing horrible things to his girlfriend's best friend, sickened him. But not nearly as much as what Aether was doing....

Who would have thought that someone would have gotten killed over this shit. Duke thought with a sigh.

[UnendingEmpire]

"My house is available. It's sort of near the school, but I live there alone so it's not like you could bother anybody there. Feel free to come by if you need help getting it all together." Duke said they'd never see this Kaitou person again. Did the shot kill him? "The bastard who did it will end up straight in Naeth's Void when he dies, I'm sure of it." 500 years of unimaginable pain and fear would be unleashed on his soul before it could be allowed to reincarnate. He deserved it if he killed a student.

But consolation was never Mora's strong suit. She never claimed it was. Myths and legends were what she specialized in. Especially the ones that composed her seemingly made-up pantheon of gods. Sadly, this wasn't the time for gods and goddesses; it was a time to try and console others. But Mora wasn't much good at that. So she grabbed a seat somewhere near Raphiella and Melvin, placing herself further away from Melvin than Raphi, and opened the large leather-bound book she always carried. Inside were countless words and illustrations, from Mora herself. The entire culmination of her mythology. She had to finish the illustrations, and began working on that of Halivine; a massive castle that extended forever in every direction.

[Lord Ziek]

Duke looked over at Mora. He always had thought that she was a little weird. Her belief system was really out there and different, but no one in the group really judged each other.

"Sure, maybe we can all go over there and kick it ...and try to not think so much. Though I would hate to involve another person into this twisted and very fucked up mess." Duke Devlin sat there twisting his hair with his fingers. He was rather nervous, and completely worried about loosing another friend.

"I wish that Zane would hurry up and get here. I really need my best friend right now." Duke said with a sadness to his voice.

"Z-dawg is a baller man! He and his rich happy ass need to show the fuck up!" Jaden exclaimed.

(i cant wait til the new Jaden gets here it's going to be awesome.)

[UnendingEmpire]

"But I want to get involved." If she just left this as it were, especially now that she knew somebody had died, she would probably stumble into the wrong place at the wrong time and get hurt anyway. Chance had a strange way of working like that with Mora, but she would claim it was the doing of destiny. For now, she put the book back in her backpack, and pulled out a very ordinary deck of cards. There were two decks in there; a standard deck and a Duel Monsters deck that focused on bringing back monsters she would remove from play herself, and inside it was her favorite card; Obelisk the Tormentor.

But that wasn't the deck she was holding right now; just a standard deck of cards rested in her hands as the cards got shuffled. Mora said that she could tell the future with these cards, but then again, Mora also said the universe was created by twincest, so most people took it with a very large grain of salt. And she took their grains of salt with a grain of salt of her own; she didn't believe that they didn't believe her. She figured that perhaps they wanted to believe, but simply didn't understand. After a bit more shuffling, she would pull three cards, and with that, she'd have her answer.

Bakura hadn't moved from where he was. His mind was now bent on plotting and getting away with murder. He'd done it enough. He was good at it. He always had his victims begging for mercy beforehand.

Yugi had left and dragged Atem with him. Atem had in turn dragged Renn off. He in his mind though after seeing Melvin use Ra he wanted it so bad. He'd had the other two. As long as Kaiba didn't attempt to steal Obelisk back. (cos infact he had actually got it by sneeking into the rich kids house and taking it... he knew the rich kid could easily get it back) Now they were all home. But Atem and Yugi's parents wouldn't let Renn in so she had to go to her own home.

[Blue Rage]

Yusei came back out of the bathroom. He had thrown up every last thing that he had ate or drank in the past few hours. He was paled in color and looked pretty sick.

Yusei.... are you okay?" Raphiella walked over to him and hugged him. "You're so sick... perhaps we should just go home?"

"No... I'm fine." Yusei lied. The last thing he needed was people worrying about him. He hugged Raphiella, and looked up to see Melvin standing there.

"I think that we should just stay here. I want to see if that buttfuck Five shows up. With so many of us here, it could just draw him to us." Melvin said flatly. "You and Raphiella should go home."

"I'm not leaving if you're not Melvin." Raphi said firmly. She looked up at Yusei. He nodded.

"Nope we are here to stay." Yusei said, clearing his throat.

"Well then pull yourselves together because we are much more likely to be killed off if we appear weak and sickly. If you think that Five fights fair for one moment... clearly... think again." Four snapped. He was very irritated, if not incredibly insane. He seemed to want to cause trouble a hell of a lot more than before. It was beyond obvious that this kid hated his older brother.
