[heroesheart]

Is this what I was like when I was her age? Doing dumb things and getting super hurt for no reason?

Oh god, yeah, it was.

Send help.

On another note, how the hell is that school even still in business? You'd think they'd be drowning in legal issues due to them teaching people to do Street Fighter combos on teenage girls.

Is Yasha okay? My friends and I were worried about her.

[heroesheart]

Yeah, she'll be fine. Nothing broke somehow, so she's just bruised and sore. And grounded. Forever.

[pendulum_soul]

I'm glad she's going to be okay. I guess she got really lucky.

How the tournament is even allowing that level of violence from a duelist, I have no idea. Action dueling is supposed to be fun! It's not for hurting people like that!

[heroesheart]

Yeah. Definitely.

Ugh. I can't even complain to the tournament board because it was supposed to be me in that duel.

[pendulum_soul]

Yeah, I guess that makes things a little more awkward.

How did she manage to end up dueling in your place anyway?

[heroesheart]

I uh. Uhhhh.

Important... private... police...? business. Like Yasha said during the duel. Very hush-hush, too important to make it to the tournament.

[pendulum_soul]

Right, right! Private police business!

[hardcorebestcore]

Ah! Maybe they sign waivers? Like at jiu-jitsu schools, except for combining rolls and dueling!

[heroesheart]

Yeah, probably.

... Rolls?

[hardcorebestcore]

You know! Like on mats in a dojo!

You probably call them 'fist fights' here.

[heroesheart]

Oh. That's... I guess that terminology probably makes sense if you're into that kinda stuff.

... also, who are you?

[hardcorebestcore]

One day I will introduce myself first off! It is not today.

Trendafilka Adelina Cardozo, LDS student of fusion, synchro, and XYZ.

You are Jeanette Diane Grave, one of my favorite pro-duelists!

[heroesheart]

Oh, nice to meet y

uh

favorite?

[hardcorebestcore]

Yes! Your story of making it, your comeback to the scene, agh, I love your new hair!

S-sorry if I'm weird I never actually. Thought. I'd talk to one of the women who got me into this!

[heroesheart]

Oh, it's uh, it's totally fine. I'm always happy to talk to a fan.

Which I. Am incredibly used to having.

[hardcorebestcore]

I bet I'm not the first person to lose their mind talking to you! Your duels were my favorite this tournament, just grinding opponents underneath your heel. One day I'll do the same!

It's so cool that action cards are playing into your psychic gimmick and you can pluck them from where they are like that! You almost inspired me to run a psychic deck but I think I'm happy with what I ended up with.

[heroesheart]

Oh, yeah? I'm sure you will if you keep at it.

Aw, well, y'know. That's just all practice. Just between you and me, I knew about Action Duels before they started getting played officially. Give it a little longer and I'm sure everyone will be snatching them up like me.

[hardcorebestcore]

Ohhhh that's so cool! So it's just like drawing a card, basically? Ha! That kid owes me money, because magic and psychic powers aren't real. I can't wait until I get into one, I'm so mad we weren't here for me to sign up.

U-um, do you do autographs? I'd love it if you and Yasha could sign my Chaofeng and my PSY-Frame Omega.

[heroesheart]

O-oh. Yes. Definitely not real. Don't even think they are. Not even once.

Uhhh... yeah, sure. Anything for a fan... are you a fan of Yasha, too? This whole family's getting pretty popular, huh.

[1/2]

[hardcorebestcore]

I mean sometimes, people start smelling weird and...

I am! Especially after that! She did a pretty good job in that duel, but her reasons.

[2/2]

[hardcorebestcore]

I didn't delete first part! I did not mean to tell you that people smell weird in Domino sometimes! P-please ignore!

Re: [2/2]

[heroesheart]

It's a city that's like, all about games. I'm honestly surprised it smells as good as it does, honestly.

Re: [2/2]

[hardcorebestcore]

No, no, like. The synchro teacher smells like spiders and lies. The fusion teacher like brimstone. I saw a guy earlier who smelled like... blue fire.

[heroesheart]

Oh. Well. Uhhh... maybe you got some really weird synesthesia?

[hardcorebestcore]

Maybe! Or the effects of stress from being away from Brazil!

Anyway, when is good time to meet and sign cards? I can even pay you for trouble!

[imajin_all_the]

You won't believe the how of how they're staying in business.

I had to recheck three times on them.

[heroesheart]

Oh boy. How are they doing it? Eldritch kung-fu magic?

[imajin_all_the]

If LDS wasn't the top school in Maiami, their hometown.

They'd be the largest school in the city.

Their enrollment is gigantic.

And from what I'm reading Touki's matches have been making parents especially consider enrollment.

Especially when a certain evolved Mental Sphere Daemon nearly killed him.

[heroesheart]

I wasn't gonna KILL him I was just gonna make him wish I did!

[imajin_all_the]

Well good going.

You made parents go:

"If my child is going to be playing Duel Monsters, I want them to be able to fight back against a real monster!"

[heroesheart]

Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Earth and humans are the worst

[imajin_all_the]

It's all those repercussions for that stupid terrorist attack on Heartland.

So. How are you and Blue Grave holding up.

[heroesheart]

I'm just barely able to navigate the roller coaster of emotions I'm feeling right now. I want to kill Yasha but also I want to tell her everything is okay and she didn't do anything wrong and also that I'm going to go burn down an entire duel school.

I settled on grounding her until the heat death of the universe, for whatever good that's going to do.

[imajin_all_the]

So she's going to be ungrounded in a month.

Ugh. I hope me or Isabel gets the chance to take that twelfth rate fucker down.

[heroesheart]

Probably a week, really.

If you do, leave just enough for me to burn to ashes where there are no cameras.

[imajin_all_the]

No worries, Grave, for once, I've got you covered on that.

I'm just gonna tenderize him for you~

[naturalcure]

ooooookay, this is me playing against type here, but I gotta interject.

I don't like what he did either, but you guys can't go and use your powers to tune the guy up, cameras or not.

[imajin_all_the]

Who said anything about power.

I plan to punch him.

And I punch hard.

[imajin_all_the]

Nothing can be proved that I don't lift weights.

[naturalcure]

I'm not talking about what can be proven, I'm talking about being responsible. I don't want you stooping to this guy's level and getting a bunch of bad attention of yourself in the process.

[naturalcure]

Hn.

How're you doing?

[heroesheart]

I only set three things on fire while thinking about burning that dude to ashes, so better than last night.

[naturalcure]

.....

How much did you burn last night?

Is your apartment still there? Is Victoria gonna sue you into the poor house for burning it down?

[heroesheart]

I didn't burn anything at the apartment. I came back yelling and barely able to keep myself from burning things just by looking at them, and Angie said there were a few people who owe her money, so...

[naturalcure]

...

...

...

They're still alive, right?

[heroesheart]

Uhhh. I just set some cars on fire, who knows what Angie did after she got into the houses.

[naturalcure]

...kay.

If anybody asks, you were with me all night, got it?
