[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!

Got it! I'll be over in about a half hour, OK?

[wearspurpleclothes]

Sounds good to me! Oh, and just as a warning, Judai will probably be around, too.

Thought I'd replied to this already >< Sorry!

[shiromadoushi]

Aaa-- that's fine!

[[Even if talking with Judai had been a little.. awkward... but not in a bad way! Just in a way that reminded him of his fanclub back home...

...so maybe a little of a bad way...]]

See you soon!

[[And good to his word, it's about 35 min later when there's a knock at Johan's door]]

It's okay!

[wearspurpleclothes]

[At the knock, Johan glances up from looking through everything on his device.]

Ahh, that's probably him...!

[He gets up from where he's sitting on the bed, making his way to the door and opening it up.]

Hijacking time. B]

[kuriboh_boy]

[From the kitchen, Judai peeks out when he hears the knock on the door.]

Huh? Who's here? [He stops himself from talking anymore, though, by shoving a cookie into his own mouth. Literally the whole cookie. What a mouthful.]

[shiromadoushi]

[[And Bakura waves with a warm smile before presenting the starter deck and trio of card packs]]

Card game delivery service!

[wearspurpleclothes]

[He could have sworn he told Judai that someone was coming over.He wouldn't put it past his friend to have forgotten. But oh wow, upon seeing Bakura, he grins brightly.]

All right! Thank you! [He grins and steps aside.] Come on inside.

[kuriboh_boy]

[Hearing the voice, Judai actually comes out of the kitchen and grins. Bits of cookie are still littering his teeth.]

Hi Bakura! [Waves! And then starts nibbling on another cookie. He's got like five in his hand.]

[shiromadoushi]

Hello again, Judai-kun! [[waves as he steps inside]] Glad to see you two found each other!

[[because having a best friend already in a place like Death City was amazing]]

[wearspurpleclothes]

It wasn't that hard! He's staying right across the hall, actually. [He laughs.]

[Turning back to Judai, he notices just how quickly he seems to be demolishing those cookies.] You are leaving some food in the kitchen... right?

[kuriboh_boy]

[Judai nods his agreement, but it's gotten a little harder to actually talk through the mouthful of cookie...

At Johan's question, though, he swallows about half of the mouthful and nods again.]

Yeah! There's like... six more cookies in there. [Yes, that's what he'd meant, of course.][Nosy, nosy]

[shiromadoushi]

Heeeeh, that is pretty lucky!

[[smirks over at Juudai]] Though not for your pantry, ne? [[but he laughs anyway. His pantry had the same problem after all.]]

[wearspurpleclothes]

So, is it just cookies that you left? That sounds a little backwards for you. [He's sure there's more than that, but he can't resist teasing Judai.]

[He turns back to Bakura.] If there's anything left, you're welcome to help yourself.

[kuriboh_boy]

Hey, I left other stuff too! [Oh, so that's why they were making fun of him, uuughhh.] I only had some cookies and an apple...

[He shoves another cookie into his mouth before asking...] So what'd you bring for Johan? [Which is probably hardly understandable with cookie in his mouth.]

[shiromadoushi]

Battaku cards! [[smiles]] And I'm fine, thank you! If anything, I should have brought something over as a welcome.

[wearspurpleclothes]

You did bring something, though! [Referring to the cards.] That's more than enough, haha.

[kuriboh_boy]

Heck yeah! Cards are the best welcoming gift! [And now Judai was interested in the cards.] Can I see 'em??

[shiromadoushi]

Un, true enough! [[smiles warmly]] It's the same starter deck I brought you, Juudai-kun, though I'm sure the packs will have different ones in them!

[wearspurpleclothes]

[Johan opens up the starter deck and sifts through the cards a little bit.]

This doesn't look too complicated...

[kuriboh_boy]

[It doesn't matter if it's the same, Judai is suddenly right next to Johan, looking eagerly at the cards.]

Yeah! It's been pretty easy to pick up so far. Come on, come on! Lemme see what else you've got!

And it also uses the "make shit up as you go along" rules of the manga/anime! :D

[shiromadoushi]

I tried to make it pretty similar to Duel Monsters! So a lot of the rules are basically the same, only with some alterations for some of the different cards. So it should be really easy for everyone from back home to pick up on it and get right back into playing~

Those are the best rules!

[wearspurpleclothes]

That was smart of you. [He laughs, still shifting through the starter deck. He wants to get a good look at the cards okay Judai sheesh hold your horses.]

[He moves on to opening up one of the booster packs once he's looked through everything in the starter deck.]

[kuriboh_boy]

[Judai is busy peering over Johan's shoulder as he goes through all of the cards.]

Really smart! Did you, like, know that more people from home were gonna show up?

[shiromadoushi]

Not at all! [[laughs, rubbing the back of his neck]] I just wanted to be able to share the game with everyone, which I couldn't do with only my deck here! But it worked out pretty well, since just a few days after it was released, Yuugi-kun showed up!

[wearspurpleclothes]

That's some pretty lucky timing...! [He takes a little more time in looking through the booster packs than what was in the starter deck, holding them out in such a way that Judai can take a look and see if there's anything that catches his eye.]
