【 001 】 Kaiba Seto - ONLINE/ACTION -

[conceptualizing]

[There's a new face peering through the mirror today with a plate of food before him and a fork dangling lazily between his fingers. By the look on his face, those somewhat dark rings beneath his eyes, Seto Kaiba didn't bother to sleep. He had been here for two days and for that entire period he had been observing, taking notes, and verbally abusing who ever tried to stop him. His adventure was cut short, however. He hadn't eaten and he hadn't slept: the paranoia and disturbia began to settle in and he put an end to his search. Just for today.]

I created video games a lot more interesting than this. What else would you call this 'player and weapon' nonsense? How many times do I have to tell you geeks not to involve me in your stupid games?

[He pushed about his feed. The guy should eat but, he was all the feels and too distracted.]

Let me take a wild guess, the only way we can go home is if we somehow manage to win. You poor fools, what would you do without me. I never lose. [Except to Yuugi but you all don't need to know that and there's a legitimately good reason why. He's starting to accept it.]

The sooner I know the rules of this game, the faster I can get involved. Let it out, I'm listening.

[Oooh, that's a nice attitude. Whoever this guy is, she already likes him.]

You win the round by being the victor of five battles or owning six weapons at the same time. To win the game as a whole, you need to obtain the 6 stars.

[He's the sexiest and probably the richest man you will ever meet.]

How do these battles work.

[Must resist urge to quote Shania Twain song.]

Just as it says in the manual. [Read: she's not going to just tell you everything. That's lazy.]

[traces]

You never lose? Oh, then I'm so very happy to have you on our side...

[video]

[conceptualizing]

Is there a particular team who has the lead so far?

video;

[conceptualizing]

Let me rephrase that: where do I sign up.

[video]

[traces]

I believe our school, Fortitude, has won the majority of the rounds so far. That seems to be the main way of keeping track of who's in the lead.

[conceptualizing]

Then my work is cut out for me, I'm not dealing with losers.

[video]

[traces]

It seems like just the opposite to me. You should have no trouble.

[video]

[conceptualizing]

You don't exactly look like someone who can play the game, how useful are you?

[He's blunt. Deal with it.]

[video]

[traces]

I... I'm not very useful when I'm chosen as a Player, it's true. I usually win a round by vowing peacefully with six weapons.

As a Weapon, my dagger isn't very strong, but I have several upgrades that come in handy. I-I know I'm not very strong, but I try my best...

Re: video;

[countryofassholes]

You're already playing. Players are chosen at the start of the round. Everyone who isn't listed is automatically a weapon. It isn't possible to request to be a player either.

[video]

[conceptualizing]

I don't want something useless that tries its best. I need the best.

[But he thinks for a moment.]

Is there a place to train?

[video]

[traces]

U-um... Battles can happen wherever you like, so you can train wherever you like. Are you a Player or a Weapon right now?

[conceptualizing]

What? We can't choose to battle? What kind of system is this!

[video]

[conceptualizing]

I'm not a player, unfortunately.

Re: video;

[countryofassholes]

A pretty inefficient one, if you ask me. I'm getting tired of waiting to be picked.

video;

[conceptualizing]

You haven't been picked as a player? How useless are you?

[The way his mind works.]

Re: video;

[countryofassholes]

[Oh snap.]

Isn't it odd to be saying that when you haven't either?

video;

[conceptualizing]

I just arrived two days ago. How long have you been here?

[You still like him?]

Re: video;

[countryofassholes]

[Oddly enough, yes. Britannia values the ability to survive over all other things, so this aggressive, take-charge attitude is something she is very fond of.

Seto can have a small laugh for that.] This is my seventh week.

[pencilpremonition]

You got a rulebook. Read it.

[conceptualizing]

I did. You obviously never bothered to play any strategic games, have you.

[pencilpremonition]

I only play games with my brother.

[conceptualizing]

That doesn't answer my question.
