((OOC note first off. I know IM chat RPs are supposed to be in personal journals. But what about group? Does that go here? *Confused* And side stories to the group RPG? o.O Well, I'll post this here for now and if I need to move it just let me know.))
((Setting: Seto Kaiba's skii lodge in Canada. Characters: Yugi, Yami, Seto, Honda, Bakura. Status: RPG in progress?))
YAMI: Yami arrives at the cabin a bit later then the others. He had some stuff to take care of back home, so did not ride in with everyone else. Getting out of the cab, he goes and knocks on the door and waits.
KAIBA: Kaiba grouchily walk over to the door and swings it open quickly. "Yami," He said cooly. "Come in." He said, opening the door. "I'll get someone to get your bags."
YAMI: "Do not bother. I only have this one bag," he says as he steps into the house. "Just show me my room so I can set my stuff down and change clothes. If you do not mind that is."
HONDA: Honda almost opens an eye at the sound of the door being opened, but the action halts before finished. Quite comfortable being one with the chair in a far corner of the main area of the cabin he simply shrugs and settles in more, headphones blaring music in his ears as they hang off his head keeping his sanity in check.
KAIBA: Kaiba stayed silent at the others man's answer. "Fine. Follow me" He walked through the large decorated hallway, with lights everywhere. He walked up the stair with ease, and finally stopped at the second floor in the third. He open the door revealing a simple blue room with expensive beds and pillows. "This is your room. Dinner will be at 6pm." That was all he said, before turning on his heel and leaving.
YUGI: Yugi sat down next to the fireplace and looked at it for a while. There wasn't much to do there and everyone seemed to have gone off to explore. He hears someone coming in and stands up to go check. At least this was better than staring at the fire.
HONDA: With a muttered yawn he finds himself entertaining again the question of just why he agreed to come along on this trip. Has his own reasons, mostly dealing with not wanting to be home, and decides to at least try to make the best of it. Jerks the headphones off and shoves them into the bag at his feet, since he still has not bothered to ask about where he will be sleeping. Just looks around. "...."
YUGI: Yugi made his way towards the stairway where he heard Kaiba's voice. Silently, he went up the stairs and saw Kaiba making his way down. " Uhh hey Kaiba? who just came? I thought I heard something"
KAIBA: He nodded briskly. "Yami, he just got here. He's upstairs in the 3rd room." He said before moving past the shorter boy into the living room
YUGI: " Yami..? oh well I don't want to disturb him then..." Yugi turned back and followed the CEO. " Kaiba..I don't want to be rude but...is there anything to do? can I help out in anything?" Yugi was trying really hard to keep up with the taller man.
KAIBA: Kaiba looked back quickly and slowed his walking a bit so the younger the other boy could catch up with him. "The servants are handling everything." He paused, "I suppose you could decorate the tree if you're bored." He said flatly waiting for a response.
HONDA: Watching the other two roam across the living room did not exactly stirr his own desire to move much, but figures he might as well before he gets stuck sleeping in a chair. Stands and picks up his bag, regarding Kaiba from across the room with somewhat of a reserved expression. "Hey Kaiba, mind telling me where to toss this. Unless of course you expect me to sleep outside."
KAIBA: Kaiba glared at him. "Unless you *want* to, Honda, your room is upstairs." He said coldly, quickening his strides and leaving the room
HONDA: "And miss all this fun?" Rolls his eyes and treks up the stairs, just looking at the various doors for a moment. Since he was not told which room he just finds one that looks empty and drops his bag near the bed. After which he heads back downstairs to see what else is going on, has to be more interesting than standing there in that room just looking out the window.
YUGI: Once again, Yugi was left alone. He was still bored. He looks at the huge Christmas tree in the middle of the living room and lets out a sigh. Decorating this thing was not gonna be easy. Lazily, he searches for ornaments. "where does Kaiba keep ornaments? in this huge place, I just know I'm gonna get lost somehow"
KAIBA: Kaiba walked in and glanced at Yugi who seemed dumbstruck. "Do you need something?" He asked cooly, crossing his arms.
YUGI: Yugi jumped when he heard Kaiba's voice. " Kaiba! uhhh yea actually I wanted to know where you kept the Christmas ornaments. Sorry, I really should have asked you this before"
KAIBA: Kaiba stayed silent for a moment. "Follow me." he said quietly, walking to the corner of the room with many boxes, he gestured to the boxes. "Here."
HONDA: Slows to a stop on another side of the tree, just looking up at it. Has to admit that it's impressive, but would not voice that opinion to Kaiba, or at least a fine attempt at overcompensation. Cannot help but feel a little odd standing there, but does not move just yet. "hmmm..."
YUGI: "Honda?" Yugi caught a glimpse of his friend standing and looking up at the tree. " Can you help me carry these? they're kinda heavy.." He took one box with both hands and tried lifting it. To the smaller boy, it seemed to weigh a ton.
HONDA: Broken out of whatever thought he had been wrapped up in, he glances towards Yugi. "Hmm? Yeah, sure." Shrugs the lapse in focus off and walks over to the boxes. First he looks at the one Yugi is engrossed in trying to lift and offers a few words. "Sure you can get that? Here, let me, you can get started with this one while I move the others over to the tree." Reaches down and picks up the box.
YUGI: "Thanks a lot, Honda" Yugi smiled slightly and then continued to move the box. " Jeez, how many ornaments can one tree have?"
HONDA: "At least it'll give you something to do for a while." Muses outloud and carries the box over to the tree, sitting it on the ground before returning to grab another one.*
KAIBA: Kaiba watched from a far for a while and then turned away to go check on other people.
YAMI: Yami set his bag on the bed and looked around. He had 2nd thoughts about coming on this trip. He sighed and quickly changed in to a pair of jeans and a white t-shirt before heading down stairs. He goesin to the hallway and looks around lost. " Ok now where is everyone. This house is like a maze."
KAIBA: Kaiba climbed the stair only to see Yami looking around. "Lost?" He asked with a smirk. "Your friends are that way," he said pointing to the stairway.
YAMI: Yami jumps as he hears Kabia behind him. Turning he nods his head. "Thank you. Do you need help with anything?"
KAIBA: "No." He said calmly, "Everyone's downstairs decorating the tree. Join them if you like."
YAMI: "No, do not like to do the tree," He says. " Have any cooking or anything that needs to be done?"
KAIBA: "The butler handles that..." He said, crossing his arms. "Let's put it this way, what do you *want* to do? Mokuba usually hosts these parties, I never know what to do. Just do what you want."
HONDA: After gathering up the boxes and moving them all he stands back and watches Yugi for a moment. He looks over a few of the little brightly colored decorations with mild interest, dark eyes tinted a shade lighter with amusement. Not really had too much experience with the entire tree decorating idea.
YAMI: Yami sighs as goes to join the others in the room and sits on the sofa and watches, waiting for the others to know he is there.
KAIBA: Kaiba watched the other man for a few second before turning back to the others as they attempted to decorate the tree.
BAKURA: *knock knock*
BAKURA: *frantic knocking*
KAIBA: Kaiba walks over to the door and opens, before flattening his eyes. "....Come in." He said cooly ,opening the door.
BAKURA: A frozen very ticked Bakura is standing outside. "bout time!" he barked
BAKURA: Bakura walks inside and brushes himself off glaring at Kaiba all the while
HONDA: Honda, who was currently trying to step over one of the boxes on his way around the tree to get a better look at it, looks up just in time to be caught off guard by the rough voice of the newcomer. He manages not to lose his balance, but just barely, and regards Bakura for a second. Decides to try and be civil and keeps busy opening boxes.
