"Unfortunate." Fyodor mused, "Shame I couldn't keep those Slate Warriors; they coulda made good Summoning Fodder... Oh well." With that said the next card was drawn. The Ghoulish Rider - Traveler of the Highway of Hell knew he'd have to gather more sin-filled souls for the Graveyard if he wanted to fix the sickness that afflicted the Absolute Sovereign of the Damned, as well as to secure his eternal throne above. Judging by the card he drew The Ghoulish Rider - Traveler of the Highway of Hell would not be bringing more bodies to his boneyard yet; however this card would certainly help alleviate the current sickness.

"Now then," began Konstantinovich as he waxed on, "It is a shame the scriptures record so little of His Successes beyond His illuminating knowledge to man, but some would debate if The Morning Star was that ancient serpent. Of course it is understandable those heretics would deny Our Lord's true successes and power. So this is just one of the reasons I like their John 5:19, 'We know that we are from god, and the whole world lies under the power of the Evil One.' It starts to give credit where it is due, and notes that everything as it is today is from the result of The Morningstar."

"All of man's achievements, innovations and structures," monologued The Ghoulish Rider Traveler of Hell as he flipped up his face down Monster to reveal it was the Castle of Dark Illusions. As the Castle of Dark Illusions was revealed there was a single ominous gong that rung out through the forest. It menacingly hovered in the air with its black symbol fixated at the Palace of Dark Illusions. Shortly after this the Pyramid of Wonders emerged from the night sky nearby the floating castle. The Pyramid pointed down and started releasing a light blue mist which began to fill Dokurorider Heisei - Absolute Sovereign of the Damned with a new vigor as he gained 200 Attack Points for each monster Panik controlled.

"- belong to Him. Yet there are far, far too many who do not obey and follow His Infernal Will." Fyodor remarked as he paced around during his monologue, "And it is my purpose to make sure the Devil gets his due and fully establishes His Earthen Empire."

"Go forth and strike into the shadows!"

Whizzing by Heisei drove over the Monster hidden by the shadows.

After this deed was done The Ghoulish Rider - Traveler of the Highway spoke, "I pass it on to you."

The Dirt Town Orphans - animeish, high fantasy gang RP [Always accepting]

Two days had passed since the Keeper of Kids had passed on. Dodo had much time to draw a very important conclusion; Asylum Island had its fauna, particularly the rodent population, succumb to a noticeable population decrease. Without rats to chase and feast upon Dodo had come to a quick conclusion. The orphanage was no longer a suitable habitation to primarily roost at; perhaps if she found herself nearby and it wasn't that far of a flight she would consider stopping back there.

Due to lack of varmints to hunt, Dodo decided to venture out into the rest of the northern part of Dirt-Town in order to find more suitable mice to feast upon.

Her flight for food took her to the region known to be under the control of the 'Streetwise Samurai'. Surely this region led by expansionists would be full of varmints to feast upon. Dodo flew above an inconspicuous street nestled between many shanty buildings. Descending Dodo kept her eye focused for any skittering prey.

She landed down on a pole of one of these buildings and knocked down a paper lantern. Roosting upon this pole Dodo continued to look around for potential prey. "Pruu!" Dodo chirped out.

Look an update time skip doesn't necessarily mean skip past all of the potential interactions; Hell this is technically two timeskips, a lot of things could've gone down by two days.

Such as say, the orphans poking around for potential backers, like say by the ones who were in the room with Mary and instead of getting hooks about where to go looking for backers it were left with no leads on where to search.

Or for something more trivial such as if there were any field mice to hunt after, which would've provided another course of action. Setting up a large amount of hooks around the world, alongside having more NPC interactions are important as you can drive events naturally.

Say if you provided a lead for gathering backers, that would naturally lead to this Vengeance gang showing up; as the lead would inspire players to act and follow it. In turn there is a logical progression of other gangs hearing and seeing the orphans act in a different manner which would give credit to the idea Fritz was dead.

But because there weren't these various breadcrumbs of possible hooks and actions about the whole thing about the arrival feels janky.

Dodo continued to peck at the dirt with her face; well she continued to until she heard the dropping of the pouch. She returned to an upright position as her eyes began to trace around the area where the sound seemed to originate from. But as soon as the object was dropped it was retrieved just as quickly. Shortly after that Dodo was offered the larger chunk of bread that Thames tore off.

"Pruu!" chirped up Dodo as she glanced at Thames with a wider smile. The birdcreature brought her wings closer together as she attempted to keep the bread up with the talons on her primary feathers. However the chunk of bread did not stay between those two bits and fell down to the ground. Dodo paused for a moment and lifted up her left leg. The bread was soon clutched between her talons. Shortly after acquiring the bread again Dodo sat down and moved the bread to a more advantageous spot to eat it. She began to ravenously gnaw at the bread, as unfortunately the varmint hunting was going poorly.

After taking a few more bites from the bread Dodo decided to stop. She began flapping her wings and squirming to remove her purse. Once it was now on the ground she used her horn to reach into the purse and move something out. She moved out a well worn, red, stress ball and pushed it with her head towards Thames.

"Mmrreu?" vocalized Dodo as she tilted her eyes focused attention between Thames and the ball.

The Ghoulish Rider - Traveler of the Highway of Hell simply nodded in various directions in the darkness as Panik activated their trap card. For some reason, the Player Killer of Darkness allowed Fyodor to possess his monsters. What to do with these two boons or curses? The thought of it lingered in his mind as Dokurorider Heisei - Absolute Sovereign of the Damned grumbled out clearly annoyed at that other Slate Warrior's giblets were mucking up the ride.

"I appreciate the gesture oh Esteemed Panik. There is nothing else I yearn to do with this turn; so I shall pass it off to you." The Ghoulish Rider - Traveler of the Highway of Hell performed a flourish of the hand.

So I'm curious why it just jumped ahead two days?

Since like,

...I would like to have a clear picture of who decided to do what before I move the plot forward.

@Medjedovic

made it seem like the choices being made would matter and impact the routes the characters would take.

This time skip seems to invalidate potential decisions like say if anyone wanted to leave the island, or whether or not they want to inform other gangs that they are on cool terms.

This just seems like a rush to a forced tutorial stage boss fight against a gang some might not wanted beef with y'know?

"Very well." spoke The Ghoulish Rider - Traveler of the Highway of Hell as he wandered through the dark forest; away from the pale and slight glow underneath the Palace of Dark Illusions. Drawing the card that he placed on the top of his deck earlier, Fyodor knew what to do with it. The enigmatic motorcyclist clad in riddles of black instinctively placed the card he had drawn onto the field.

A monster was Set down into the shadows blending with it. Konstantinovich took this moment to simply listen to these dark woods. After about a minute of nothing but listening, this 'Prophet of Hell' began to sermonize as he clasped his hands in prayer.

"Glorious Old Scratch
I hope you enjoy this match.
Blessed be this hallowed night
Lit only by your sight.
The Everpowerful Morningstar
Beckons despite your form being so afar.
Much strength is yours to command
From both the Orders Old and New
Hell on Earth will be at hand.
Yet only one Priest will make it through..."

"Player Killer of Darkness, I am Lucifer's True Prophet. I WILL NOT STOP UNTIL I SHOW YOU THE ABSOLUTE POWER OF MY FAITH!Alsotoavengethebitsofmydamagedclotheswhichthreatenstorevealmyidentitytoosoon...NOW GO FORTH DOKURORIDER HEISEI - ABSOLUTE SOVEREIGN OF THE DAMNED! Go into the shadows and seek your prey!" Heisei's motorcycle roared as the Absolute Sovereign of the Damned rushed straight through to the pale yellow barrier to find and destroy one of the monsters hiding within. (Feel free to pick the target of Dokurorider Heisei's attack)

Now you're wondering. Where can I get a Link Monster? Well, students of Saotome Duel Institute," the CEO acknowledged the school in an eerie fashion, "starting today, you will have guests going to your school. These guests are veteran duelists, hand chosen by the Kaiba Corporation to test the new mechanics. At random, they will choose random students and challenge them to a duel. If you win, they are obligated to give you a Link Monster! It's that simple!
