Yu-Gi-Oh Soul R (Still Accepting)

The angry shrieks of Elly's desperate scramble for relevance rang out of the pit, but the kid payed it no mind. After all, you couldn't very well file a lawsuit against someone if you didn't know who they were. More importantly, what game were these chumps playing? Normally, the child would assume they had been working with the foreign girl currently stuck in a pitfall, but she seemed just as confused. Better to just play along for the moment.

"Al~right, al~right, ni~ce to meet you, Your-You!", the child responded, suppressing a giggle, "And you know WHAT? I ju~st might take you UP on that opffhyehyehyehyeh!"

The kid pointed at Yuryuu and let out a high-pitched cackle that sounded like what one would have expected from a grossly oversized rodent.

"EHEHEHYEHYEHYEHYEHYEH!"

She was nearly doubled over, squatting, still pointing at Yuryuu's expression of confidence. At some point, she broke into a fit of coughing, swallowed hard, and stood up, panting.

"...Wow. Sor~ry, sorry. I TRIED to go with it, but your BUDDY here caught me a lit~tle bit off GUARD, grand~ma."

The child slapped her duel disk's autoshuffler, then stood, one hand on her hip as the machine whispered to itself.

"...Se~ri~ous~ly, though, who am I up against?"

@Lord Szall
Well if you want to get really technical about it, no.
But your character is going to be playing a card game with my character, it seems.

Also @Ryik I'm just gonna move on, okay? Since it's kinda hard to wait right now.

At Elly's forfeit, the girl fed her cards back into her deck. There was a quiet click as a small counter on the side of the girl's Duel Disk ticked up. With Partner's recent victory, that made 17 in all. Good progress.

Then this gaggle of weirdos showed up.

"MAN, you guys respond FAST, don'tcha?", the little girl said, slapping Elly's hand away as Elly tried to strangle a ten year old in the spirit of good sportsmanship. Leaping away from the rich foreigner, the child used one of the supports embedded in the wall as a springboard, standing nearly horizontal for a moment before leaping further upwards and catching hold of the pits edge. In seconds, she had hauled herself up the side and in front of the officials.

"Hey, HEY, do~n't you WORRY, though~... It's a~ll UP to CODE. If any~thing, YOU should be than~king ME, grand~ma! Pitfalls THIS nice don't just APPEAR over~night, you KNOW? Any~way..."

She paced around the group slowly, hunched over, thinking. Her hand hovered over a small switch on the back of her duel disk. Then, thinking better of it, she pulled her hand away and straightened up.

"...Well, Partner DID tell me to clean up any mes~ses I made, so I sup~pose I CAN'T turn you DOWN, ri~ght? So WHICH am I fight~ing? Mis~ter Helmet, maybe..?"

@Ryik You still have a move, friend.
See, if you look at the bottom, you've actually still got 1400 LP.

Yu-Gi-Oh Soul R (Still Accepting)

@Ryik
You can mistake girls for boys and boys for girls all the time, though. Especially kids. I feel like you're reading too much into things again.

Anyway, thanks for notifying me!

"Ooooh! I GET it now!"

The girl pointed a triumphant finger at her opponent.

"YOU'RE one of those pe~ople Partner talks about! What did he CALL them, ag~ain..?"

The child pondered for a short while as Elly did her card voodoo, unwittingly giving her time to set up her combo.

"Right, that was- oh, you're STILL going. Kinda rude, au~ntie. Hold on~"

She stopped and tapped the duel disk a couple times before flinging her arm outwards in a kabuki-like pose.

"I activate MACRO COSMOS in re~sponse to that summon! This card BANISHES a~ll your friends instead of sending them to the grave, o~kay?"

And just like that, all cards destroyed as part of the combo were banished from their respective places. All that remained was that unusual new card, though it only had a downright pitiful 1600 attack now.

"Right, ri~ght, NOW I remember! You're a person who 'thinks she's more clever than she really is', right? I'm gues~sing you thought you had already WON, right? Am I ri~ght? I'm RIGHT, aren't I?"

She drew a card.

"DON'T worry, though! I might NOT be as TOUGH as Partner, but that doesn't me~an I'm STILL not rea~lly strong~ and that goes double against someone who can't pay attention! Now I dun~no WHAT that weird pre~tend MONSTER you're using is, but I'm gon~na make it go a~way, OKAY? DARK HOLE!"

The pit dimmed to deepest black, and when the light returned Anabel was simply... gone. As if it had never existed. The wind picked up shortly after, bringing with it the familiar dust storm.

"Ka-POW! Lean a~nd CLEAN. For my next trick, I summon two brothers: Yosenju Tsujik and Yosenju Kama 1! Now, Kama 1 has a special power of his own, but I can't make use of it right now. Do~n't you worry, though; I'm sure I'll get the chance to do it soon!"

When the dust cleared, there stood two weasels, wielding a sickle and a sword, respectively.

"MORE im~por~tant~ly, though, it's time for ano~ther FULL FORCE attack! Go, Kama 1! Tsujik, raise YOUR attack and come from be~hind!"

They appeared from either side in the blink of an eye, Kama 1 going for Elly's jugular with the sickle as Tsujik laid its blade bare against her lumbar region.

"You should be more AWARE in a battle of speed, au~ntie! I've never even lost to PARTNER in a ra~ce, and you can be SURE I'm not about to lo~se to YOU!"

Ending her turn, both Yosenju jumped back to the hand.

What Happened

• My character activated the trap card Macro Cosmos in response to Anabel's summon
• As a result, both Doll Parts, Doll Chimera, and Alice The Wandering Doll were banished, leaving @Ryik's character with no cards in the hand, one set card in the spell and trap zone, and a sole Anabel the Doll Princess with 1600 attack on the field
• Since Ryik's character ended the turn, my character began her turn
• My character drew a card
• My character played the magic card Dark Hole, which destroyed Anabel the Doll Princess
• Due to the effect of Macro Cosmos, Anabel the Doll Princess was banished instead
• My character Normal Summoned Yosenju Kama 1 and Yosenju Tsujik
• My character used Yosenju Tsujik's ability to raise Yosenju Tsujik's attack to 2000
• My character attacked Ryik's character directly with Yosenju Kama 1 and Yosenju Tsujik, bringing Ryik's character to [5000-(2000+1600)]=1400 LP
• My character ended the turn
• Yosenju Kama 1 and Yosenju Tsujik returned to the hand
• Spring of Rebirth's effect activated, raising my character's LP to [8500+1000]=9500 LP

ELLY - 1400 LP - HAND 0
NONE - NONE - SET - NONE - NONE
NONE - NONE - NONE - NONE - NONE

NONE - Y. KAMA 1 - Y. TSUJIK (2000) - NONE - NONE
M. COSMOS - NONE - S. OF REBIRTH - NONE - NONE
??? - 9500 LP - HAND 0(2)

@KOgaming Oh, so we're not using Real Solid Vision after all, then? Because from what I saw in Arc-V, the monsters could physically beat people up and smash buildings apart during a duel.
Guess I was the one who had the wrong idea.

Also, @Ryik, I'm pretty sure I've never mentioned my man crossdressing. You do know a girl can wear pants, right? Pants are universal. And I still can't post until you've edited so let me know, okay?

Yu-Gi-Oh Soul R (Still Accepting)

@Ryik
See, this is exactly what I'm talking about. It's hard to build relationships when you keep jumping to conclusions like this, don't you know?

I guess I can't fault you too much for it, though, considering you've obviously taken my writing advice to heart. I feel a lot more investment from your posts now. One point I should note, however, is that you're starting to lose some details; most recently, the bit about Elly getting dropkicked in the face, plus my character's current appearance and gender. You're improving as we go, though, and I think that's really great!

Anyway, let me know when you've edited your post, okay? Since I can't really post until you do, and all.

Yu-Gi-Oh Soul R (Still Accepting)

@Ryik
So basically you made a whole lot of assumptions and instead of asking questions you just ran with them?
You should be careful, friend. Living like that leads to high blood pressure.

The kid shrugged nonchalantly as their empty hand revealed nothing, and exited out of the prompt. Mildly put out, but no worse for wear. Elly seemed to be busy with the phone, so the child didn't really bother with additional explanation. After all, such talk was lost on someone this detached from reality. After quietly revealing the sole remaining card in their hand- that being Dark Hole- the child's voice dropped to a whisper.

"Yosenju Tsujik, attack directly~."

No sooner would Elly hang up than she would get dropkicked in the face by the remaining Yosenju, cutting off any dialogue she had expected to get out in those scant few seconds.

"You know, au~ntie... I'd get your BRAIN checked before you start cry~ing WOLF, you know? Your ACTING is alright, but I'm giving your mas~ter plan only HALF a star, o~kay?"

Tsujik returned to the hand, offering up an extra 500 LP.

"I mean, you can cry and fib to them A~LL you want... But I STILL don't think they're gon~na believe YOU got over~powered by a ten~year~old GIRL like ME. I'll be ending my turn now, o~kay au~ntie?"

What Happened

• Since Yosenju Kama 3's effect did not activate, no cards were searched from the deck
• My character revealed her hand (a singular Dark Hole)
• My character chose to send no cards to the grave
• My character attacked @Ryik's character directly with Yosenju Tsujik
• My character ended the turn
• Yosenju Tsujik returned to the hand
• My character gained 500 LP from Spring of Rebirth's effect

ELLY - 5000 LP - HAND 1
NONE - NONE - SET - SET - NONE
NONE - NONE - NONE - NONE - NONE

NONE - NONE - Y. TSUJIK - NONE - NONE
