It looked like Atem wasn't the only one out of place here. In fact, the city had gained over to a hundred new inhabitants in the span of moments. The redhead was one of them. Out in the forest earning her pay like usual, she had turned after a brief moment of vertigo only to find that several things were immediately wrong. The forest had thinned out, rows of trees in straight lines as if planted there instead of let grown. And more alarming, her clothing had changed with out her notice. There were lights back to where the town should be, far too big for such and for what she had become almost used to over the year.

Oh, not something like this again. This wasn't Gaia, was it ( ... )

He was immediately rethinking the decision to wear the Duel Disk Seto had made for him. It drew infinite attention to him (though his reputation, hair, and outfit did that just fine on their own) and he really was not in the mood to duel kids for his title- a title which he would actually have to gain back here. As he was no longer Yuugi Mutou, spirit inhabiting, he was now Atem ( ... )

She finally made the decision to just go ahead and do it, knowing that combined with what was sure to happen today and her decision to not sleep the night before was either going to make her rather annoyed or burned out, no matter how many times she had done it before. Waiting for the crosswalk light to change before Cissnei made her way over and into the coffee shop, for now ignoring the strangeness of kids fighting with monsters on the streets... She had her gun and Materia in the silver bag that had mysteriously shown up with her, but she had ditched Rekka for now, left so she could find it and possibly sneak it back...somewhere later. It wouldn't do to draw attention right now after all ( ... )

His first thought was to dismiss her immediately, and he hadn't even looked up. But as his lips parted to form the words, Go away, in his mind somewhere it registered that she'd said Atem. Not Yuugi, not Game King, not any of the other aliases he'd heard today. So he chanced a look up, smiling when he saw Cissnei.

They'd only spoke once or twice before this, he was sure, exchanged names at least. It didn't make him feel particularly better to see her, really it only solidified that something strange was going on here and the Island, as usual, was just doing whatever it wanted. There were a million possibilities as to why they were all here, but she wouldn't know any of them. There was no point in asking or taking his frustration out on her.

"Yes, that's me." He confirmed, motioning for her to take a seat. He didn't have a beverage and was just sitting quietly. But company, and someone who at least knew his name, was better than none.

IT'S MY CITY, I CAN JUMP IN THREADS WHENEVER I WANT. Waffles gets the next tag. shutupandduelme February 1 2010, 21:27:02 UTC

Damage control. Kaiba HATED doing damage control. But here he was, waking up in his study at home instead of at his desk in the house on Salkia without a word of warning or indication of what was to happen either way. A shower, a change of clothes, a few cups of coffee and a few calls to the office didn't seem to help any. And now...the L33tPOD was still in his pocket. And still working, of all things. He had wanted to go home, but none of this seemed right. It was all too sudden, too convenient, and Kaiba was going to get to the bottom of it. After he fished out a few people he had seen floundering on the NETWORK, of course ( ... )

crimsonguarddog February 1 2010, 21:42:28 UTC

Good, although it was hard to miss that hair of his Cissnei could of been wrong. There had been another like him around a few times, from what she remembered. Setting her coffee down - No frappichinos or Mochas or anything like that. Just coffee as coffee with a little bit of creamer in it to get all she needed out of it.

"Nice to meet you in person, finally." She nodded slightly and pulled the chair out to sit down, taking a deep sip of her coffee before speaking further. "Despite...this, anyway." Though technically it wasn't much better on the island. But at least she knew the island to some extent ( ... )

note_atem February 1 2010, 21:46:17 UTC

"And you as well." He replied, at least a little jovial. It was nice to have someone to talk to, despite what they were going through. And it was a little the same circumstance, as he didn't really belong here and he didn't know her thoughts about this place either. He was trying his very hardest to weather through this despite the few hours he'd been in it ( ... )

shutupandduelme February 1 2010, 21:54:13 UTC

Kaiba didn't even look at the kid behind the counter while he ordered a coffee (black, the strongest blend they had), being much more interested in who had wandered into the shop.

"Cissnei," he murmured in greeting, eyes sliding over her to land on her more showy table mate, "and...Mutou. Not what I was expecting, but it saves me some time. There are better places to talk than here." And safer places, where he wouldn't have to resort to using Yuugi's last name. For the moment, however, that's who people thought Atem was, and Kaiba saw no reason to cause confusion by calling him otherwise. Just...not Yuugi.

crimsonguarddog February 1 2010, 22:08:43 UTC

She caught the tail end of Atem's plan, and turned her head away from the window as Kaiba entered to respond back to Atem. "Ignoring the problem never makes it go away. But until we gather more information, or find more signals on the Network. I've not the chance to dig into it yet, but from what I assume so far, all of those from the Island are here." She said softly. There was really no need, considering how most people's attention had turned to the CEO.

"Kaiba," She returned when he came over, nodding when he spoke of moving and standing up in response. Quite the idea, after all none of the three of them, she was certain wanted to come of crazy with what was sure to come up in their discussions.

note_atem February 1 2010, 22:11:31 UTC

Atem managed a smile, but it vanished once Kaiba called him by his assumed last name. He realized why, but that didn't make it any better. However, the CEO was offering an out, at least temporarily. Somewhere quiet, away from the stares; it sounded rather nice. And at least wherever that was they could talk about the prospect of being..

Well that was really his own problem. Even if he had said asking for help didn't make one weak, he found himself at odds to do it right then and there. He'd woken up in a house, he had a place to stay he supposed. It was just the identity thing that was really getting him at the current moment.

He stood with a nod, forcing a light smile. "Then, shall we?"

shutupandduelme February 1 2010, 22:23:49 UTC

Kaiba grunted in affirmation, his eyes lingering on Atem just a moment too long before he turned and handed his card to the hapless kid at the counter. Some fumbling and many tries later, as the kid has an irritating tendency to stare at the card, then back at Kaiba, then at the card again without actually swiping it, the CEO hed his coffee.

He swept out of the shop without a word, nodding to his man at the limo who opened the door quickly enough. The brunet hesitated, waiting for Cissnei to get in before he slid in himself, Atem ending up on his other side.

"The Tower. Quickly," he said coolly to the dark haired man in the driver's seat, before hitting the button for the security partition. Glass rose to separate the cabin from the rest of the car. "And now...would anyone like to enlighten me as to what happened?" Kaiba said sharply, leaning back against the seat and crossing his arms in his usual position.

crimsonguarddog February 1 2010, 22:42:49 UTC

Relaxing back into the seat of the limo, her free hand, covered with read leather came up to press at her temple, waiting until it was secure to speak before doing so. "It's the island again, possibly. The L337POD's work, The NETWORK didn't work earlier in the morning, but it does now." She reached into her handbag by her feet and pulled it out, careful not to shift the gun into sight.

"Were either of you awake when this happened?"

note_atem February 1 2010, 23:04:47 UTC

Atem wasn't really used to riding with Seto or in this type of car. He tried to stay equally as distant, moving towards the door as much as he could before resting one leg up on the other and keeping his eyes out towards the window. Once the question was posed, he couldn't really answer. As if any of them had any real idea.

But to Cissnei's he did manage to speak up. Shaking his head, though it only made him feel more useless than a few moments ago. "No." One minute the island, the next Domino. How was it even possible to do things like this, on such a large scale?

"But I think our best bet for anything, still is to round everyone up." And that's where his suggestion would stay, because as far as he would let himself, this was a dream. And they would be back on that island soon. To delude himself into thinking he'd made it "home" as Seto had promised was foolish. Especially when the brunet obviously did not have a hand in this at all.

shutupandduelme February 1 2010, 23:16:21 UTC

Kaiba scowled at the sight of the L337POD in Cissnei's hand, reminded once again of another problem that needed solving. Why was he stil tethered to these people. Everything he had seen so far had certainly indicated that this was the Domino City he remembered. Everything except, of course, the presence of the two people sitting next to him. Perhaps more, but he hadn't checked the NETWORK since the first time. He thought it would be better that way, at least until he got to the office and could take care of...annoyances ( ... )

crimsonguarddog February 2 2010, 00:16:18 UTC

Cissnei didn't press further as to ask why with either of them - She'd lived with Kaiba in house one long enough to come to some understanding of when to press and when not too. Flicking through The Network absently to see when the last post were made. Jing, mostly some kids, Ken she noted to reply to when she had a moment. "It was strange, it felt like..." A pause as she searched for the words. "Like the whole island shifted under my feet. Then we ended up here."

Setting the LP down the woman shook her head. "There seem to be a few. I'd be able to check the signals when I have a computer and hook it up. Getting them together will be the hard part, but if there are some of the more...Unsavory people from the island here, it would be in best interest to keep an eye on them." The woman glanced over at Kaiba briefly when she spoke. Being here for him is one thing, but everyone else... It was a step to finding a way home for everyone if they could figure out just how it happened.

note_atem February 2 2010, 00:20:55 UTC

"If there are a few already, then they all must be here." He was trying to draw a logical conclusion. "It's a cause for mass chaos. People have been taken from an unsavory condition and placed in a completely new territory with no knowledge- save for the ones who are from here." The Island wins again, he supposed. But that always seemed to ring true. There was not much they could do ( ... )
