The Duelist Ball is a special, invite only, very fancy affair. Pegasus was really going all out for this, sparing no expense for such a star-studded, beautiful evening. The invitation was very pushy about bringing a date (god help you if you didn't, who knew what Pegasus would do to you if you showed up alone). There was really only one woman you ( Read more... )

If you'd ask him what his path looked like after retrieving his memories, Atem probably wouldn't have answered in any way that was close to what his life was now. Ruling another country ... the world, even, Neo-Tokyo (Domino? Neo-Earth? Who knows) alongside the new Neo-Queen Serenity had not even been an idea he was aware he'd have at some point.

In another one of those long stretches of Kaiba's work, Atem had turned up at the office. It hadn't been the usual show-up-out-of-nowhere, either. This surprise trip had been after a couple of weeks away in a tournament. Kaiba seemed to be a little unfazed at his arrival, however. Hours of doing puzzles had eventually taken their usual toll on his ( Read more... )

AS PART OF YOUR THERAPY YOU ARE TAKEN FROM YOUR HOME\OFFICE, AND SHOVED INTO A LARGE ROOM WITH NICE PADDED WHITE WALLS. THERE WAS A NUMBER ON THE DOOR, WHAT NUMBER WAS IT (1-14)?

(You may also leave this room and pick another door if you're trying to find your way out, but the door will not unlock until you AT LEAST TALK TO THE OTHER PERSON IN THE ( Read more... )

It's been a long time since DOMA and the Orichalcos business. Perhaps you've forgotten all about it, the legends that went with it, the dragons and knights that went with it. Or like a jerkass maybe you've just been pretending it never existed in the first place, so what if it was filler, it was good. It's been years since then, years since the ( Read more... )

The Rockets were defeated! Peace has returned to the pokemon world! ...except not. While you both did a good job of kicking them in the face and making a dent, it didn't mean they'd be gone forever. But Atem knew it wouldn't really end with them. And besides, it's taking them a very long while to build up their forces again. So he's ready for some ( Read more... )

It may not be the most fun world but it is a normal world. Full of normal things. And normal people. Most of your life has been normal. Except that one time when you found that magic artifact and unleashed that magic being. Angel. Demon. Genie. Type thing. Creature. And that's when you got stuck with him. But after such a normal existence it must ( Read more... )

Anyone observant will easily tell you that Atem does not like the cold. He shies away from snow. He detests the winter. It really makes his life tough because it's hard to avoid snowfall and the harsh cold winters when you live in a place that has equal seasons. There's really nowhere else he'd rather be, and moving away from Domino? Just to avoid ( Read more... )

It had been a very strange and quiet night. Atem had been in his apartment, and as it had turned out, he had been the only one. Fate was a funny thing and the way the world worked and revolved around the once-Pharaoh had always been strange and ridiculous. There was a clap of thunder, or at least that's what normal people heard; duelists would hear ( Read more... )
