So, I have my scheduled duel with Bakura tomorrow, and I haven't seen hide nor hair of him. Don't tell me he's a coward and isn't going to show up at his own duel. Oh well, if he doesn't show up, he defaults, and that's an easy win for me. I certainly cannot complain about that, no matter how boring it is

I'll show up ^_^ There's no sense in defaulting; it would just make the tournament dull for everyone else.

[va_va_vivian]

Oh, so you're alive? *vaguely disappointed* Why weren't you at the opening ceremony?

[djinn_akuma]

Uhm, I think I am? *nervous chuckle* I would have been but I had some things to do...by the time I realized how pointless it was the ceremony was over.

[va_va_vivian]

It wasn't a good move, missing that ceremony.

[djinn_akuma]

I don't think it makes much difference in the end, unless the judging is based on things besides who actually wins the duel.

[va_va_vivian]

No, of course not, but you got absolutely no publicity.

[djinn_akuma]

That's probably for the better. ...Er, unless you meant, I should've had publicity so it'd look like you were dueling someone who other people would know about?

[va_va_vivian]

Well, that would have been nice, but it doesn't matter if the world knows you or not during our duel. I just figured you'd want your face in the papers.

[djinn_akuma]

Oh...no. I've been in the papers enough already. I'm glad that my not being there won't affect the publicity of the duel, at least.

[va_va_vivian]

Well, all right. I look forward to our duel today then. You'd better show up.

[djinn_akuma]

I will...and good luck, Vivian-san.

[va_va_vivian]

Believe me, I don't need it.

[djinn_akuma]

I guess not...well, I'll see you at the tournament, then.
