[His voice is a bit strained, like he's been out in weather all day.I see that the usual offenders learned this year. A miracle, that. Will it continue for whatever remaining amount of time I am here? Likely not. There will not be another opportunity for it, however. I swear it ( Read more... )

[All you can see is a hand over the LP for a few minutes. When it does shift, you can see a very tired, very pale faced, and rather scorched Kaiba looking down on it. There's a visible burn over his right cheek, though whether it was from some monster or Cissnei's Firaga, there's no way to tell. He's also got the mostly burned up remains of a cheap ( Read more... )

[The LP clicks on to Kaiba, standing proudly on a hill in the park. For whatever reason, the wind has picked up around him and caught the end of his coat, flaring it out dramatically. His Duel Disk is in active mode on his arm.]

Those of you who have been around him for a while might recognize it as how he clamps down on some intense emotion or another. When he speaks, his voice is very ( Read more... )

I don't want to hear it right now. Whatever our captors did can wait until more pressing business is dealt with.
