-Yugi looks at the card, reads it carefully, then smiles-
"Sorry to say Winda, but I think you're mistaken! That card doesn't do anything on my turn! So now, I'll activate Emblem of Dragon Destroyer to add Buster Blader to my hand, and...I activate Polymerization! Fusing my Buster Blader with Dark Magician to summon Dark Paladin!"
-How did he get that good a hand right off the bat what-
(He also hasn't ended his turn yet.)
"Oh and Athena...don't worry about it..."

-Yvette looks up, giving a jump-
Wh—!?!?
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?(Big, burly mechanical arms quickly seize her in a bearhug.)
(She's in the grip of a lumbering mechanical beast, its single, glowing purple eye staring at her soullessly.)
(The big robot immediately starts making for the stairs as quickly as it can.)

-Squirming and struggling and making a ruckus-
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?-nods-
Other than my sight and ability to cut the threads I'm only human.
If I was to fight a person with raw power far beyond mine, I'd find very few strands where I'd win the fight.
And a lot of it would probably have to do with outside influence, rather than what I do myself.
A thunderstorm is perhaps the best place for me to fight because of all the possibilities of lightning striking almost anywhere- unless it's near a tall conductive object of course.
However, the thunderstorm has to be there or the capacity to be there in the first place for that to be a possibility.

-She looks to Yvette-
H-help! No, don't help, run!

No no no no no!!

There come the limitations...
Theoretically I could find the one thread that allows me to win a presidential election, but it'd be so small that it'd take me weeks to find it on focused meditation.
I am an oracle.
I see the future, in a web of strands- different choices, different probabilities- all of them cause splits and become new threads.
Like a large web, or tapestry that goes on, and on.
I'm only human, the way they caught me in the first place was exploiting the fact that there are some things that I think just wouldn't happen because of the chance being so low. So I don't prepare for them.
Otherwise, I found a way of stopping certain probabilities from happening- by using a knife whilst viewing the future to cut away some of the strands.
Thus without the possibility of following that path, that path cannot happen.
Hence... the fate is manipulated.
But I can only do so much with what I can see.
And of course- I needed a tool to cut the thread.
It took me months of studying my visions whilst pretending to be asleep to figure out the method to acquire a shiv in order to do that work.
Then I had to study longer, knowing what I could about the security systems, to find the best possible method of escape- and narrow the chances down towards it.
In a way, I needed the Templars to try and kill me, in order to escape.
