Our avatars are in a room together

"Ehehehe..."

"I think...oh right! Yusei! He used them! That guy from the future...that was a long day..."

-to Grayson- We'll sort it out.

-writes the cheque to be taken out of the Livingstone Foundation of Archaeology-

-for £100-

-and places it by the till-

Homura: (Y) Hmm, I see. (tries to see if Ygui's attention goes elsewhere so that she can quietly summon her Soul Gem to try to get a better read on what exactly the Puzzle is)

(nods in response to Xion's question, makes a quick glance at Xion towards the others in the room to indicate why she isn't elaborating further)

(W) Sorry to disappoint you.

-Yugi seems to be trying to get a glance at Winda's Gusto cards, so you're good-

(points to her head with a questioning look)

Hey, what's going on?

"... it's hopeless."

She nods, waving bye to him as he leaves while the drone stays menacingly behind her and looks at Michael as he goes.

And it connects, where a voice on the other end says- "Yes, Mr. Tapferin?"

Athena, stop it.

(Yugi might see that the Gusto cards all have consistent themes. The Spellcasters are Psychics and the Birds are indeed Tuners.)

(@Yugi) Ah. How long are we talking here?

(@Homura) It's fine. I, uh, don't mind.

(the instant Johnny places the check down, an angelic chorus resounds from the sky... or, rather, the ceiling)

(the three skeletal ghosts all begin to rise...!)

Finally, after all these years...

We had a customer!! And our souls are freeeeeeee!

Thaaaaaank you... thaaaaank you soooo much...

(eventually, they rise through the ceiling, causing everything to be filled with white light)

(when the light clears, Johnny, Aelfi, and Grayson are all out in the hall of the mall)

(packed next to them are all the things that Johnny asked for, in two boxes of differing sizes that Johnny and Grayson can feasibly carry)

(the entrance to Blockbuster is gone - where the store used to be is a wall with the words "HOT TOPIC - COMING SOON")

"Well...some crazy guy came from the future and tried to kill a bunch of people, saying he was 'saving the world.' That long of a day..."

Pool

Homura: (X only) <She is to pursue her vengeance in other worlds where...I do not learn to handle myself.>

(While facing towards Yugi and Winda so as not to draw theirr atention, she positions her arm as a shield so that she can quietly summon her Soul Gem and use it to try to get a magic read on the Puzzle.)

Well that was weird.

And effective but... what on earth is Hot Topic-? -looks behind him-

"It's hopeless, it's hopeless, it's hopeless..."

she won't stop

Pool

(@Yugi) Oh, kinda like the Vylon, right?

(Grayson just shrugs in response to Johnny's inquiry, before going to pick up the larger box)

-INCOMING FLYING PAPER ATHENA!-

You wouldn't happen to be the one using Petrusite to transport a lot of dead bodies around, would you? Liman's drone contingent noticed that there were a lot of dead outlaws near supposed locations where that superfuel was recorded to be used.

(He looks around, cautious of anyone who might be following him, or if they're listening in to his conversation.)

{Other yous?}

Athena!

(on the verge of tears)

No one seems to be nearby, save for the wind blowing through the trees. "Perhaps."

...What sort of cryptic answer is that?

Pool

Homura: <Other dimensions. Generally similar to the one I am from...but the smallest of changes often snowball into all the difference.>

-Johnny picks up the smaller box- Lets go meet Hoshi.

"... -stops, barely even registering the paper-"
