Snap?

We each take a pile of cards, face down of course. We take turns moving the top card to a new pile and flipping them face up. If two face up cards in a row are the exact same number, we race to place a hand on this pile and shout 'snap'. The cards are then added to the winner's own pile. Winner is the one who gains all 52 cards/doesn't succumb to boredom.

I see...can we play this card game...on motorcycles?

No. We sky dive.

Oh...well...that works too.

Just don't land on me.

Should I tell Sophia to come and drag you both by your ears to the kitchen?

B-but...we're just going to play snap while skydiving!

...Wait, how do we keep the cards from flying away?

By playing the game on motorcycles as well, of course

No, we just drop a table as well.

...Can we play it on motorcycles, which we rode out of a plane with a table?

Yes. Yes we can. Because in the verse, anything goes.

Odd thoughts on converting Speed World 2 to be a spell that's actually able to be played in a non-motorcycle context: Firstly, get rid of the whole speed-spell thing. Why they needed it, I don't know, but it goes. That means both the restriction on it being played, and the need to reveal one to activate its effects. After that, it should be able to be used as a normal Field Spell, but it's kinda bland (not to mention you must wait at least 4 turns to activate any of its effects). Maybe add in a "convert speed counter to another kind of counter" effect on a 2:1 conversion ratio? Or maybe an effect that applies to Synchro summoning (because, you know, they're both signature bits from 5Ds), like expend counters to boost a monster's level when Synchro Summoning (or just boost a monsters level for a turn). Just kinda thinking out loud. And providing an alternate conversation topic.

Just out of curiosity, will we be able to change our decks as we go? I don't mean swapping out for a totally new deck, I'm just wondering if it's alright if our characters are tinkering with and modifying their decks as the RP progresses. Because that seems like a thing they would be doing, obviously.

I'm afraid that it's time to crown a new robotic nation. So get on with your blastin' cuz I can't stop ______in'.

Yeah, in between arcs you'll get to update your decks.

Ah, that's good to know. I figured we would, after all, it only makes sense that they would upgrade their decks if they're at a dueling school. But I wasn't sure, since the logical progression of trying to upgrade your deck is eventually getting to a tournament-level deck, which you wanted to avoid, if I recall.

We should also follow the anime's perfect example and modify our decks mid-duel.

Oh, totally.

Also, Roxas, your character's extra deck's secretly larger than his main deck, right?

Nah, his Extra Deck IS his main deck.

His Main Deck is his Extra Deck. His Side Deck is his... Uhm... Its a thing.

His Side Deck is obviously his other Side Deck. Left, instead of right.

His side deck is his lunch and a ham sandwich is his side deck. Jeez, get it right.

Now you're just being silly.

Fine...cucumber with the crusts cut off.

The crusts are his Duel Disks.
