Haas whistled as he calmly made his way down to the dorm rooms, casually stepping through the nearly empty Earth dorm hallways. It was almost eerie how lifeless it was, because usually you'd see at least a few people chatting it up. Now you hardly saw anyone, aside from the occasional person who got out of the shower. Hayato's room got three knocks before Haas let himself in, being greeted to a sight of a very ... sloppy room. Hayato reassured Haas to not worry about a thing and just knock something over to take a seat, making him laugh nervously. [b][color=aba000]"Aha ... ahaha, no it's fine. I'm fine with standing,"[/color][/b] the boy replied. [b][color=aba000]"So, what do you need me for?"[/color][/b] Haas threw his arms behind his head and listened to Hayato's explanation, becoming more and more confused as it went on. [b][color=aba000]"Whoa, wait, hold up! So, the rumors are true? They use some kind of shocking device?!"[/color][/b] Haas acted with surprise, though it wasn't entirely unexpected. He was hoping for them to be just that, rumors. Seems those rumors had some merit though. Haas lowered his left hand and used the other to touch his forehead, zoning out for just a second. He only seemed to snap back alive when Hayato wanted to share his contact info.

[b][color=aba000]"...Ah, wait! So you're in it after all?"[/color][/b] Haas asked, a tad confused by the mixed signals the other boy was giving. At first they worked alone, but now they wanted Haas' help... [b][color=aba000]"Well, in any case,"[/color][/b] Haas interjected again. [b][color=aba000]"I should probably tell everyone to be careful. We can't le-!"[/color][/b] He wanted to avoid people getting heard, but was interrupted by a loud, earth-shaking roar that pierced the dormitory walls with ease. [b][color=aba000]"What the-...?"[/color][/b] Haas was confused, standing dazed for a few seconds. [b][color=aba000]"What happened out there?"[/color][/b] Haas muttered, raising up his disk to look at it. The triangle was still an unfamiliar sight to him, so it wasn't much reassurance. [b][color=aba000]"I guess someone's dueling, huh...?"[/color][/b] The Earth dorm student's voice trailed off as he kept staring at his disk. Then, Haas let out a huge yawn. His shoulders arched forward again, with bags magically forming under his eyes. [b][color=aba000]"Man, this is a pain..."[/color][/b] Haas pulled out his D-Ceiver, typed in a few things and then opened Hayato's dorm room door again. [b][color=aba000]"Gonna go check it out,"[/color][/b] was all he said before walking out of the door. Haas sped his way through the halls at the pace of a sleepy slug, maybe with the intent of checking out what happened.[hr]The squad of Maisy, Leander and Megan didn't have too much trouble sneaking around in the Light dorms. Even though Maisy and Megan weren't supposed to be there, the former hid inside of a cardboard box and remained incognito whilst the latter just outran anyone that tried to apprehend her. Of course, the underground complex of hallways was huge. Checking each room individually would have been an effort in wasted time. Luckily the small group had Maisy, a girl who has memorized everyone's dorm rooms, schedules and underwear. She knew exactly who was and wasn't in their room, as well as those that acted mightily suspicious lately. Okay, maybe that last part was mostly comprised of guessing. Still, without Maisy they'd only break into about five rooms before stumbling onto some poor girl getting changed or something unrealistically coincidental like that. The group saw many sights; Posters, musical instruments, card collections, things best left unseen, unspoken and naturally the grandiose Light dorm rooms themselves as well. The issue, however, came with the fact they didn't find anything on Dark Dorm students or the incidents for the longest period. 

Luck was on their side, however. In a suspiciously fishy smelling room plastered with posters of various aquatic creatures and an enshrined card of the Golden Flying Fish in the corner, they found a note on the vanity dresser. It looked like it had been placed not too long ago, challenging the owner of the room to a duel... for a price. It was his preciouss Golden Flying Fish they asked as an ante, putting up a slew of rare cards as the opposing ante. Ante duels are normally forbidden under school regulation, so this was definitely suspicious. The note didn't have a sender, but it was handwritten and did have a date and time.[hr]Angelo got permission from Ryder to check out Ethel's runner pretty easily. He casually entered the garage and was treated to the lovely sight of a half-broken runner still undergoing repairs. Even if he hadn't been aware, it'd be immediately obvious a crash of this magnitude wasn't normal. The boy tried to get into the runner's computer program, finding himself hindered by a lack of power. The circuit was blown completely. This wasn't the first time dealing with a blown circuit for Angelo, however. He's crashed plenty in the past, or blown something during a test drive. Every time he had done so, he needed to fix it too. The junior mechanic fetched some tools and made quick work of it, connecting everything with ease.

When Angelo got into the runner, everything was still pretty messed up. Ethel's dashboard was cracked, so seeing stuff was a bit of a pain. The light also gave out on some spots, making it even harder. When diving into Ethel's logs it didn't get much better, either. She's had only a few duels, but most of their files are corrupted and unable to be repaired, though the most recent log dated back only a few days. Amazingly it was still partly intact when Angelo opened it. Some text was scrambled an indecipherable and the images didn't seem to function, but the Lifepoint and field tracker seemed mostly intact. Through what little Angelo could make out, he found Ethel had been having the upper hand in terms of Lifepoints for most of the duel, but seemed to be behind in terms of cards at all times. Angelo also managed to find out that the field spell used for this Turbo Duel was 'Speed World - Virtua'. It being used implies that two people ran the same program, but that didn't make any sense. Ethel was the only one who had used her Duel Runner that night, yet only the academy's staff and students currently have access to the program. It didn't look like he was going to get any more out of it, though.
