-So... There's really no way for him to get back quicker...?-

-He's suddenly seeming rather upset.-

"I-If we get disqualified I'll never get to..."

-...'Never get to'...?

-...? Why is Sayaka pouting...?-

-He looks back and forth between Sayaka and Muramasa, before settling back on Sayaka.-

"Is everything OK...?"

-Oh, Muramasa's asking about Vanguard! That is enough to get him back to a good mood!-

"When you play you take the form of an astral body on Planet Cray. When you're there you only have two abilities. The ability to 'ride', or to possess a denizen of the planet. That creature, or unit, becomes none other than yourself. You're the Vanguard."

-He's still going...-

"The other power is the ability to 'call'. You can call for a unit's assistance in your fight against the opponent's army. You, as the Vanguard, lead them into battle. Then you and your opponent take turns fighting. Whenever your Vanguard takes 6 damage you lose and you become but an astral body once more."

"After that you disappear from Planet Cray and the game is over."

-Aichi's smiling pretty big now.-

"It's so much fun!"

-Precious ghost nerd...-

-...Also, can we say it's really ironic to hear about all of this astral body stuff from a ghost right now?-

Sayaka: (A) Hm? Oh! Yeah, yeah, everything's cool. (Takes towel back from chair and wraps it around her shoulders as she listens to Aichi's tangent) Huh. So that's what this game is about? (Very careful intonation to belie the alarms going off in her head regarding the game description)


Homura: Learn. (takes a breath through her nostrils, almost like she had to settle something down inside) Not dwell.

...Okay, I'm not gonna lie, that sounds pretty neat.

("Especially since its sorta like Servants in reverse, where the humans are Heroic Spirits... I wonder if whoever came up with that fiction had experience with us?")

-Aichi's relieved that Sayaka's all right and he nods happily in response to her asking about the game.-

-Aichi nods happily.-

"Yeah! I can picture it clearly every time I play!"

-And then he looks back over to Muramasa, still grinning.-

"Ehehe... Maybe I can show you guys sometime! I think you'd both like it!"

-...Does he even have his deck? He's dead.-

Sayaka:Eh-heh, yeah, maybe... (scratches back of head for a moment) So! Uh...you must be pretty good to get into a tournament that sounds like- what did you say, the Asia Ciruit?


Homura: ...can I ask for what end? Simply to survive?

Yeah, for real. When you say Asia, are we talking all of Asia? 'Cause there's a lot of Asia.

-...Oh, right. The Asia Circuit...-

"W-Well... I got invited to it... My friends and I won the nationals before and..."

-...After what happened Takuto Tatsunagi invited him and his friends...-

"O-Oh, it doesn't take place in all'' of Asia... It was in Singapore, Seoul, Hong Kong, and now the last part of it is back home."'

-Well... He worked hard to get this far, but he hasn't been doing well in the Asia Circuit...-

"Ehehe..."

-Sayaka just gets a sheepish chuckle in response.-

-Meanwhile with what Muramasa said...-

"You might be able to! They were showing the tournament on TV!"'

-They might have reruns!-

-...Yeah, she has a point, but...-

"...This tournament has been nothing like the nationals... It's... bigger than that."

-There's something at stake here...-

"And I have to get back and win. It's really important... If I don't then I'll never see my friends again..."

-He doesn't want to tell people about this, but they have to understand how important it is he gets back home...-

-...Wait, what? He won't see his friends again???-

Neat! We're gonna keep an eye out for 'em.

(looks back) Right, Sayaka?

#1314648: May 21st 2018 at 1:06:02 PM

Sayaka: Right! (puts on the warmest smile she can under the circumstances, before processing that last part) Wait, what do you mean "never see your friends again"? You can meet outside of Vanguard tournaments, right?

-He exhales. This is going to sound strange, but...-

"...I'm not talking about the friends I play Vanguard with. I'm talking about the Royal Paladins..."

-He has a serious expression.-

"They disappeared... and I'm the only one that still remembers them... One moment they were on the table in front of me and then... there were the Gold Paladins in their place."

-...So... can ghosts be crazy or delusional? Or is this actually the truth?-

...Mrmm.

<Sayaka, you up for a little bit of detective work?>
