The boy looked at the lady's hand while she projected frantically, talking about sticky hands even though nobody asked her. What kind of garbage diver gets self-conscious about being dirty, anyway? Was her head okay?

"...Hey. Maybe not my place to ask this, but... Are you really a student here?"

He pointed at her duel disk.

"Since, you know, I'm pretty sure a student would know that duel disks have an autoshuffle function... And also how to play rock-paper-scissors."

He folded his arms and sighed. Well, even if she was some kind of disabled hobo, a person was a person. 100 wins wasn't something you could accomplish quickly if you were choosy. He explained as best he could, voice tinged with pity.

"Okay... So you clearly, you have a vague idea of how this works. But, see, the thing about rock-paper-scissors is that you have to go at the same time. Otherwise it defeats the purpose of even playing, right? So let's try this again..."

He halted after each part this time, so she could follow along.

"Rock..."

"Paper..."

"Scissors."

He was committed to rock, so the boy threw rock a second time.

"See? The timing's not so hard. Let's do it for real this time."

He made a fist and brought his hand back up.

"Rock, paper, scissors!"

What Happened

@SillyPhilly

• My character questioned if your character was a student here
• My character cited how your character didn't seem to understand duel disks
• My character also cited how your character went late on rock paper scissors
• My character gave a short explanation on the mechanics of rock paper scissors
• He demonstrated, throwing rock
• My character then did rock paper scissors again, this time to decide who goes first
• What my character threw was not revealed. Try thinking of this like a puzzle.

Why? If you hide in a trashcan that means you'll smell like trash, right?

Bidding on time? Was this lady trying to say she was some kind of garbage pro? Was this some kind of high-profile trashcan he was unaware of? The gloomy boy shook the filthmaven's hand absentmindedly, finding it unpleasantly sticky. Probably from a juice carton or something.

"Eh?", the boy said, sounding genuinely surprised. He opened a moist towelette and cleaned off his hand-shaking hand as he spoke.

"Whoa, let's slow down a little, lady... We're trash buddies, don't get me wrong, but I'm not gonna let you touch my deck with your nasty garbage hands. I don't know where those things have been. I, uh... Maybe later, after you take a shower or seven."

An awkward pause settled over the two. Cicadas chirped in the distance. The boy coughed quietly.

"So, er... Rock-Paper-Scissors, then?"

Being a great lover of paper and the paper recycling bin, the boy, of course, threw rock.

What Happened

@SillyPhilly

• My character shook your character's hand
• My character refused your character's request to see his deck.
• My character did rock-paper-scissors (to decide who goes first).
• He threw rock.

@SillyPhilly
Yep!
And don't worry friend. I think I understand your situation, and I have a super duper great solution!

@The book of bad juju
I don't really get it, but why would anyone do something super boring like that?

@KOgaming
So people can still intrude even if it isn't authorized?

@SillyPhilly
Hey, are you sure you don't want to change it? Does this mean your man is blind?

@Eklispe
Is there a reason why you're not taking damage?

Yu-Gi-Oh Soul R (Still Accepting)

@SillyPhilly
That's just what it says on my character sheet though?

@SillyPhilly
Why are you saying my character is a girl or a ninja?

There came a quiet rustling noise from Umi's right side. A guy popped out of the recycling bin adjacent to Umi's trash bin. Lanky, gloomy-looking, with eyes like a dead fish. He wore a hood that covered his mouth, and he gave off the air of someone you could see because he wanted you to see him. He turned his head, locking eyes with his ally in garbage-diving.

"...You know, as far as concealment techniques go, the burnable trash is a pretty bad choice...", he croaked. His voice was nasal, and his speech was slow.

"See, me, I like paper. No smell, no sharp objects. You can trust the paper bin. Not only that... it's actually pretty cozy in the winter."

He held out a hand.

"Anyway... Nice to meet a fellow trash enthusiast. You know, I know this is a little sudden... But how about you and me play cards?"
