Yugi is sitting in a couch in the Nexus, holding up a hand-written sign reading "April! :)", in a weird sort of homage to the way private drivers guide their customers to them at the airport. Yami's currently nowhere in sight, by virtue of the fact that he's pretty much still asleep, though he's aware that Yugi intended to try to take April to Dominion today. He'll likely wake himself up when April shows up.

Date: 15 November 2010 21:02 (UTC)Moments later, a bleary-eyed but smiling Yami appears beside Yugi. "April," he says, sleepy cheer in his voice. "Glad you could make it."
"Hope you've got a jacket or something," Yugi says with a smile, tugging on his own black denim jacket. "It's really cold in Dominion right now. We're in the Pacific northwest, after all."
((OOC: By the by, Dominion City is on a Hellmouth. Don't know if April will be able to sense that or not, but thought I should mention it. ^^; I've got a map around here somwhere. I'll see if I can find it in time for my next tag.))

Date: 15 November 2010 23:35 (UTC)"Besides, I do not sense the cold as much as others do."
no subject
Date: 16 November 2010 00:54 (UTC)Yugi grins. "Awesome. Ready to go, then?"
When he PINpoints them back to Dominion, they arrive on a cliff overlooking the main city. Yugi blinks, then says, "Ooops. Not quite where I wanted to end up." Then he takes in a deep, astounded breath. "Wooow. Probably just as well, though! Look at that view!"
The view is, indeed, spectacular. They can see almost the whole city from here and, given that this is the year 2998 we're talking about, it's quite futuristic. And, naturally, very aesthetically pleasing.
Humans are, after all, a bit vain.

Date: 16 November 2010 01:32 (UTC)Yami shifts uncomfortably. "Might have to make a brief trip to the Shadow Realm. I'd rather not, but..."

Date: 16 November 2010 23:59 (UTC)Yugi grimaces as well. "I don't see a road anywhere nearby. Looks like it is." He casts a significant glance at Yami, who nods, and vanishes. Moments later, he reappears where Yugi was previously standing, completely solid, the Puzzle flashing with gold light as he does.
"Safer this way," he notes, half to himself. "April, take my hand, please."

Date: 17 November 2010 00:23 (UTC)It's an appropriate name. There's no discernable geography, and very little ambient light. What light there is consists entirely of dim blues, reds, and violets. Nothing appears to be in the vicinity, but then, in the low light, it can be difficult to tell for most people.
Yami exhales slowly, opening his eyes and quickly surveying their surroundings. "So far, so good," he says. "Come on. Don't let go of my hand." He starts off in what would be a western direction, in the material world.
Then, somewhere, in the distance, an inhuman roar sounds. Yami's eyes widen, and he swears in ancient Egyptian. "We're going to be in trouble if we can't beat whatever that was to the waypoint," he says quietly. "Almost like they can sense me when I turn up..." he adds in a sub-vocal mutter.
no subject
Date: 17 November 2010 04:10 (UTC)The roar made her flinch slightly. "What is it?"
And now I'm going to borrow stuff from Fable III.
Date: 17 November 2010 21:08 (UTC)And then he steps in something black and slimy. Not that it's easy to tell that it's black in this light. But it's definitely slimy. And it starts crawling up his leg, the rest of the puddle also rising up in thin streams, like viscous, gravity-defying ink. "Ra's beak!" Yami curses, pulling his leg away from the puddle, black stuff still clinging to his trousers.
I think the Shadow Games got some ideas from the Darkness in Fable III, Yugi notes.
Yami snorts briefly in response. Hopefully it doesn't have the same effect as the stuff in the game. Then he staggers, the edges of his vision starting to blur, legs beginning to feel stiff.
((OOC: Alas, it does have the same effect. The goop acts as a paralytic and also steadily drains away sight and some life force.))

Date: 12 December 2010 17:29 (UTC)He means his mind, Bakura clarifies. The ancient Egyptians believed the centre of human thought and emotion is the heart.
But Tepeysa knows all that already, Malik adds, a disjointed smile playing across his face.

Date: 13 December 2010 15:05 (UTC)And actually, no, Malik doesn't blame Yami for it. ("Tepeysa" is the first half of Yami's full name.) He was just noting that none of what he said was new information to Yami.
Another thought occurs to Yami, and he leans forward and grasps April's shoulder. "Ask Malik if he recalls anything about the Shadow Games and Narmer," he murmurs. "He always had a better head for history than I did."
no subject
Date: 15 December 2010 03:30 (UTC)"Malik. Do you recall anything about the Shadow Games and Narmer?"
no subject
Date: 15 December 2010 22:53 (UTC)Must you always overplay it? Bakura asks Malik with a roll of his eyes.
Whoever said I was overplaying anything, Nekhnet?
((OOC: I keep forgetting to add this, but "Nekhnet" means "Child". It's Malik's nickname for Bakura.))
