[As the video feed turns on, Johan appears to still be fiddling a little with his device. After a couple of short moments, he seems satisfied and sits back a little, facing the screen with a large grin.]

This little mirror-thing is pretty cool! It's a lot more hi-tech than anything I'm used to, haha.

I was thinking earlier, and I realized I haven't introduced myself on the network, yet. So, hi, everyone! [He waves a little at the screen.] I'm Johan!

[He glances down and rummages around a little bit off screen before looking back up.] I heard that there were a few duelists around here? [He brings his hand up to the screen, revealing a deck of trading cards that he had seemingly been gathering up just a moment ago. He remembers Judai having a bit of confusion with this particular subject earlier, so he figures it's best to clarify.] If any of you see this and want to duel, just let me know!

I know that there's another card game popular here, but I can't help but be curious as to what other kinds of games people here enjoy!

[Those cards look kind of familiar...]

Lots of games, de arimasu. Chess, checkers, deathgammon...There are video games too, of course.

[Wonder where he's seen them before.]

[wearspurpleclothes]

... Deathgammon?

I never actually played many video games. [He laughs a little.] I'm sure they pass the time pretty quickly, though.

1/3

[starfruitfrog]

I think it's this world's version of backgammon, de arimasu. [Just, you know, death-themed.]

Really, de arimasu? Maybe you should play some then, de arimasu. Bakura-dono comes by the shop sometimes to...

[draculabackwards]

You need to talk to someone named Bakura. He enjoys card games. *Video games, all sorts of games.*

[wearspurpleclothes]

I've met him! [He grins excitedly. Bakura's one of the few people he's gotten a chance to chat with extensively.]

Are there any games you enjoy...?

[draculabackwards]

Well, we didn't have a lot of games where I'm from but there is this game here that is particularly fascinating. You get to roll things around in a giant ball and as the ball gets bigger, you can roll over more things until you can take on people and cars. It is quite odd but quite fun at the same time.

[dead_black_eyes]

Anything except for card games, generally. I'm easy to please.

[And even easier to displease.]

Re: [Audio]

[wearspurpleclothes]

[He's still a little baffled at the concept of people not enjoying card games.]

Not even regular playing card games? Poker, or things like that?

[Audio] woops, don't know what happened the first time I posted

[dead_black_eyes]

A set deck is different. When I say "card games", unfortunately that's not all that comes to mind anymore.

[tauborn]

You must be looking for Ryou or Yuugi, or maybe the Pharaoh.

[One look at those cards and he knows exactly what crowd you'll fit in with. Everyone who is obsessed with Battaku, of course.]

I'm Takuto. It's nice to meet you, Johan.

[wearspurpleclothes]

[He's met Ryou, and heard of Yugi being here, but...] The Pharaoh...?

It's nice to meet you too, Takuto!

[tauborn]

Yeah, he's from Egypt and he was at the Battaku tournament. [He also looks more like Yuugi than Takuto does.]

So are you a weapon or a meister?

voice;

[entreats]

.. There's that many people here who are interested in card games?

[ Her tone is deadpan. More than just a little bit, really. ]

[wearspurpleclothes]

Yeah! It's really popular where I come from! [Actually, that's probably an understatement.]

It's... Kind of weird to think that there aren't more people who are interested here.

[entreats]

Where I come from, hardly any people play card games. Well, card games that don't necessarily involve gambling, at least. [ since she doubts this guy is talking about poker or something.. ]

Only kids and weirdos do it.

[shiromadoushi]

I enjoy almost all games!

And I have a deck of Battaku for you! And a few packs of the expansions too!

[wearspurpleclothes]

[Oh, wow! Hey! Someone he already knows!]

Ahh, really? Thank you, Ryou! I'll come over sometime, and you can show me how to play! And maybe we can duel, too. [Somehow, Johan manages to grin even brighter.]

[shiromadoushi]

Sure thing! Though really, since you know how to play Duel Monsters, you'll only need to pick up on a few rules since it's pretty similar!

Games...Hmm...

I guess I'm a fan of most card games. Spoon, Solitare, Poker, whatever, really.

[wearspurpleclothes]

Solitaire is okay, even if you can't play it with other people. I don't think I've heard of Spoon before, though...!

[second_star]

It's a pretty fun one I used to play when I was younger. Basically, you can play it with several people. you all sit in a circle, and you put spoons down in the middle equal to the number of people, minus one. [ Man, his memory with this stuff wasn't as good as it used to be. He was pretty sure he was right so far. ]

You shuffle a deck, and give four cards to everyone, and everyone takes turns passing cards from their hands and to the players on their right, until someone makes a set of four cards. Then, they quietly take a spoon. When they do, everyone else has to try and get a spoon too, as sneakily as possible. Last person left without a spoon loses. And you keep doing this until there's only two people left, with less spoons everytime.

[blue_wayfinder]

Are you from Judai's world? [It made sense since he showed her similar cards when he first arrived.]

[wearspurpleclothes]

[His grin brightens up even more than previously at the question.]

Yeah! Judai's my best friend!

[naniwarocky]

I've heard of that card game here, but I've never played it.

Anyway, I'm Sendo. Nice to meet you, Johan.

[wearspurpleclothes]

Really? [He brightens up a little more, wondering if this person was possibly from his world.] It's a lot of fun!

It's nice to meet you too, Sendo!
