Yeah.. i don't know how much time i need, Ryo isn't exactly responding to any pms for like 24 hours now, so think i will keep Emily, Ryo and Alexander in that limo for a while then..Or as PKM suggested, put that arc on hold. There will be plenty of time for shadow games I imagine. If he hasn't responded by midday today, I'd put it on hold and just meet up with the others in the Palace hall.

In his travels, Jack had learned that every interaction was significant. You could learn a lot about a person by how they reacted to you. Not disappointed in the slightest with her response, Jack helped the young lady to her feet. A lesser person would have been too proud, too desperate to prove their own strength and independence to have accepted his aid there. It was a subtle play, but an important one. Fubuki was in a higher class than most, indeed.
Jack had suspected this might have been the case from their conversation in the limo, but still, he wanted to be certain.
"I should have given you a lot more credit from the start," Jack apologized. "Please forgive me, I have the habit of assuming everyone is a moron until they prove otherwise."
But she didn't really seem to be listing at this point. There was something in her expression; concern, perhaps? She appeared to be eyeing the palace gates.
"I'm not judging you at this point," he said rather bluntly, as it was indeed the truth. "Tell me what's on your mind."
Maybe our driver took a longer route, so we could finish our duel or something? That way, us coming late would make sense.This appears to be the plan as of right now. Hopefully it buys you the time that you need.
IC post is up! Hopefully it's satisfactory :)Very nicely done, Dread.
"The man certainly has quite the sense of showmanship, doesn't he?" Jack mused at the spectacle.
Predictable, he thought.
Jack picked up his bag, a small back-pack, an exited the limo. He offered out his hand to Fubuki in a gentlemanly fashion. But of course, you'll help your self out, won't you?
Jack turned his gaze away from Fubuki. There would be more to say, but now was hardly the time. After all, they had only just met.
Instead, Jack peered through the the limo's shaded window, observing the Rengo Rico streets. Crowded and busy even in the daytime hours, this city never stopped moving. He imagined what powers lurked behind the doors of the large and luxurious clubs and casinos: how many throats had to be cut for these men to stand on top of the world?
The duelist, however, would be safe from the dangers of Rengo Rico politics, at least for now. Their host, the elusive Khan, had quite the reputation in these parts of the world. Jack needed to learn more.
Jack could see the mansion drawing nearer and nearer, the had finally arrived. They called it a mansion, anyway. A palace. A grand home for a man of great wealth.
Jack suspected he knew better. It was no mansion, but a castle. Nothing else would do for a man who surely thought himself to be a king.
"It looks like we're here," he told Fubuki after a long silence. "Best gather up your things."
Might be advantageous to allow some limos to arrive before the others. Jack and Fubuki have shown a pretty strong dynamic together, but I think we've pretty much exhausted the conversation in the limo.
I'd say that while Emily and Ryo have their duel, and Aono and Miwa chat in transit; Joseph, Fubuki, Kenta, and Jack should arrive at their destination and wait in a large reception hall of sorts. Food and drink, scantily clad waitresses, and all the Vagas ilk. Introduce your wandering hologram concept at this point as well. The four of us then chat while waiting for the other duelist and the Khan to arrive.
I say this all in the name of keeping the RP moving forward. There is no need to keep half the cast waiting, but we also can't let them get too far ahead of the others.
"Yes," Jack mused, "naturally."
Such a strong defense. You love playing the game more than you realize, don't you Fubuki?
"We all have our reasons, true enough. I suppose it is a chat best left for another day." he said, deciding it best to leave it at that.
"Tell me, then, what is this to you?" Jack asked. "This tournament. If it isn't just a game to you, then what is it that you have at stake?"
Jack grabbed a bottle from the fridge for himself and took a small sip.
"I understand this might be too personal a question to ask, the circumstance of our acquaintance aside. Let me know if I overstep my bounds."
It was strange, most people were so predictable, so boring. Especially duelist. It was a rarity for Jack to meet someone that he actually enjoyed talking to. Yet, here he was genuinely enjoying himself.
Just an unfortunate logistical circumstance.
