003 | video; Thanksgiving

[buryindecadence]

Hey, I'm guessing a lot of you come from a place that has some kind of holiday like Thanksgiving, or at least something like it.

Where I'm from, we just... gathered together on this day, made a veritable feast from what little we had and spent the rest of the night eating, drinking and making merry.

I like to think it's a good time to reflect on what

[While not exactly the same as the American version of Thanksgiving, Japan does have their own version of the day, based in part on a harvest festival, commemorating labor and production and giving thanks.]

I'm thankful for Mou Hitori no Boku, my family and friends, even though they're still back home and what ever friends I will make here.

[And also the fact that he's currently not a disembodied soul stuck who knows where, but we won't mention that.]

Hey, that's the spirit.

[Having once been an angel, that comes with it certain perks... like knowledge of languages of earth, because one does not become a messenger of God and not know how to communicate with man.

...But we won't mention that, either.]

So you're from... Japan, I take it? I think I recognized a few words there.

[Smiles and laughs. Hey, someone has to the optimist around here apparently.]

Yes, I am. Domino City, actually. I'm Yuugi, Yuugi Mutou.

I'm Cas.

[He's... never heard of that place, though. And that is one hell of a name, so he'll just have to come up with some kinda nickname. One that is sure to confuse the hell out of everyone.]

Hey, that's quite a mouthful. Mind if I call you 'Yuu'?

[obsessed_gamer]

No, I don't mind at all!

[buryindecadence]

Thanks, that'll make life a little easier for me.

Been here long, Yuu?

[Video]

[obsessed_gamer]

No, just a couple of days.

This... certainly wasn't where I was expecting to end up.

[buryindecadence]

Yuu, I don't think anyone was.

[And don't mind his inquisitive nature -- he just likes to learn more about people in general.]

Out of curiosity, where were you headed?

[Video]

[obsessed_gamer]

Well, I -- kinda figured I was going to end up wherever the other souls of those who were taken by the Orichalcos end up.

[buryindecadence]

[The what?]

What's an Ora... whatever you said just then?

It's a spell card. The soul of whichever duelist loses the duel is forfeit to the winner. I couldn't let them take Mou Hitori no Boku, so I switched places with him and let the seal take me instead.

...

[There was a whole lot of words said just now? But uh...]

[Cas didn't understand most of them. At least not used in that way.]

[Video] okay done

[buryindecadence]

...Dude, I haven't a clue what you're talking about.

[Video] It's okay, card games are srs biz

[obsessed_gamer]

Where I come from, there's a card game called Duel Monsters. For most Duelists, that's all it is, but for some of us... we discovered that apparently the game has origins in Ancient Egypt, where Mou Hitori no Boku was from before he was sealed inside the Sennen Puzzle.

[He holds up the chain around his neck to show the other the puzzle there.]

When I solved the puzzle, it set him free and we've been kind of sharing the same body. We only recently discovered that the three Egyptian God Cards that we won in the last tournament were the key to unlocking his memories. Unfortunately, our battle with those that carry the Orichalcos interrupted Mou Hitori no Boku's plans on finding his memory. Instead, we ended up going to America and he was tricked into using the card.

[Video] LOL

[buryindecadence]

[............uh huh. Don't mind Cas as he attempts to digest this new information.]

So, back up -- that guy is possessing you?
