Goldd and Sillva walked behind Mikhail, going back and forth about how Latinum was a dick.
"Seriously? He told you to do that?"
"Yeah! Dude said 'Sillva, I don't care if you're the Warlord, you can't eat terrorking salmon with red wine!' I will drink whatever I damn well please WITH whatever I damn well please!"
Mikhail sighed, ignoring their argument.
"Really, you have to wonder why Reign-Beaux doesn't just fire the guy."

...and that's terrible.Dima nodded stiffly to Junk Destroyer. "Um, hello there, Destroyer."
Hey look!. Yu-Gi-Oh meets wrasslin'!Caitlin looked the spirit over, it was certainly...pointy. Nowhere near as cute as her spirit.
"Heya." she said, smiling brightly.
Burn up, hurricane of justice!Silence. Clearly, Junk Destroyer was not one to waste time on idle chat. He looked around.
Leo sighed. "Go back, Destroyer. I'll call you when I'll need you," he said, waving his hand.
The colossus nodded and faded away. "That's one of the reasons I don't call upon him often and prefer using Colossal Fighter in duels," said Leo. "Destroyer is either really loud and annoying - he sometimes sounds like a bad Thespian - or sulky and annoying."
On empty crossroads, seek the eclipse -- for when Sol and Lua align, the lost shall find their way home.Clyde watched the Spirit Junk Destroyer retreat back to his card carefully from a distance, as well as the students who, a moment before, could see him.
Interesting... So I'm not the only one who can see Spirits.
And I am not the only Spirit either.
I wonder if I'm ever going to duel him.
If you do, I'll be there for you
Thank you. That's reassuring.
With that, the human-shaped Duel Spirit disappeared into his card, without anyone knowing he was there.

"Why does everything have to loop back to YGO?" -Guy who ruined YGODima let out the breath he had been holding since Destroyer first materialized.
Hey look!. Yu-Gi-Oh meets wrasslin'!Leo rubbed his beard. "I wonder when we're going to get to our dorms? They can't be that faraway, can they now? Oh, and Dima - I'd like to duel you sometime." He blinked. "I missed my chance to duel on the boat - the book kinda held my attention," he said and patted the pocket of his longcoat, where the faint outline of said book could be seen.
On empty crossroads, seek the eclipse -- for when Sol and Lua align, the lost shall find their way home.Hauna seemed to be almost mentally connected to Leo as she thought the same thing. She politely nodded to the Englishman who had approached her, and whose name she had already forgotten much to her chagrin, and wandered up to the most authortive looking person there.
"Excuse... Uhm... Me. Do you... Uhm... Know when we... Uhm... Get to the..." Hauna racked her brain but she couldn't find the word in English. She figured that the teachers here probably knew multiple languages. She hoped her native Swedish would be one of them. "Var är bostäder?"*
"Evii is right though" -Saturn "I didn't know you were a bitch Evii." -Lior Val"I would very much like that," Dima said. "I assume you have either some combination of Warrior or Synchro deck?"
Hey look!. Yu-Gi-Oh meets wrasslin'!The teacher turned his head back towards the group, and smiled briefly at Hauna. "Not much further. Just around to the top of the cliff there, kids," he said, pointing up. They were almost two-thirds of the way up already.
At the Adroit Stream dorm, two staff members came out from the shadows and helped dock and secure the boat, placing a little gangplank for the students to walk up.
"Students, meet Miriam and Holger, the caretakers of Adroit Dorm. They're here to help you and look after you, so remember to be polite to them and ask them if you need anything." The pair waved hello and stood to either side of the entrance, causing the door to open.
"Well, then, shall we go in?"
At the Cunning Dorm:
"I hate doors," Matthias grumbled as he fiddled with the entry keypad to the dorm. Virtually the entire student population was glaring at him by now. Why, oh why could he have chosen an easier—
"Got it!", he interrupted himself triumphantly as lucky random button-mashing paid off for once and the door opened. "Ahem. So, come on in, students. The boys' quarters are past the common room and off to the left, the girls' are to the right. Your sleeping locations have already been chosen and there's a uniform scarf which you have to wear at all times. Go on in and make yourselves at home."
The German thought for a moment, going over his internal checklist. "Oh, and when you hear a tone over the intercom, make sure to get to the common room for an announcement by Junas. Wants to make sure you're all settled in. I'll be waiting there."
So, you can assume the other two dorms got the exact same speech from their guides. Interaction times now, and I'll start the announcement tomorrow.
Storm and trouble won't make you make you lose your way. (Tits might, though.)Upon hearing that they were almost at the Brave Dorm Shannon sighed in relief, she wasn't used to such cold weather and wanted to get inside as soon as possible.
I should try and talk to some of the other students soon. I've been even quieter than I normally am.

"About time," muttered Leo. As he walked toward the boys' dorms, he turned his head toward Dima. "Yes, I run a Warrior Synchro Deck. I also have a D.D. Deck, but that's just anti-Venom backup. What type of Deck do you run?"
On empty crossroads, seek the eclipse -- for when Sol and Lua align, the lost shall find their way home.Dima grinned and shook his head. "I do not wish to appear rude," he said, "but I would rather not reveal it to everybody at once. I also have many decks besides my officially registered one, including Mist Valley, ice, a warrior toolbox, Fairies, Insects, Spellcasters, Flamvell and Lightsworn, DARK, Nordic Chaos, and Gishki."
Hey look!. Yu-Gi-Oh meets wrasslin'!Finally
Thought Clyde as he headed to the dorms.
He thought back to the man who, a few moments ago, was nervously attacking the keypad.
What a bumbling idiot

"Why does everything have to loop back to YGO?" -Guy who ruined YGO"Well, well, that's quite the amount of decks," said Leo. "One of my friends is rather similar to you - though I believe he has even more, something in the upper tens..."
On empty crossroads, seek the eclipse -- for when Sol and Lua align, the lost shall find their way home.Dima shook his head. "No, those were simply the cards I have with me now. In Mother Russia, I have many mountains of decks. I simply did not have time to return my current cards before arriving."
The 'Mother Russia' thing may or may not be sarcasm. I'll tell you guys as soon as I figure it out myself... (I have a Russian friend Dima is mostly based on. He says 'Mother Russia.' I'm not sure if he's joking or not)
Hey look!. Yu-Gi-Oh meets wrasslin'!Leo chuckled. "Oh, my. That's a lot of cards," he said. "Well, you do seem an interesting person to hang around with, Dima. I'm sure it will be a pleasure to duel you as well."
He paused and his expression became serious again. "I've noticed that you were... Fidgety around Destroyer; also, you've said that you have the misfortune of pissing most Spirits you meet. Why is that?"
"It is, um, complicated. I have spent my entire life around spirits, and so I am unusually comfortable around them. And so... on occasion, when drinking, I have... possibly... made out with a few of their female counterparts. And then flaunted it to them. And then flashed them."
Hey look!. Yu-Gi-Oh meets wrasslin'!How do dorms work in this academy? Will there shared rooms or does everyone get their own?
Hauna looked around the building that they had just entered. She was a little nervous about the idea of it being on the cliff of a mountain, but other than that, it seemed alright.
She quickly scurried off in search of her assigned room. Her backpack containing her personal decorations was a bit bulkier than most students, but she really liked the way her room back home was and wanted to keep it, in a way...
"Evii is right though" -Saturn "I didn't know you were a bitch Evii." -Lior ValLeo blinked. He looked Dima over, then blinked again. His eyebrows lifted, and he began laughing, putting his finger to his lips (as though telling someone to be quiet) as he did so. After a while, he stopped.
"You... made out? With female spirits?" he said. "You are... Odd, Dima. Very odd. And coming from me with my... less than normal family - mediums left and right, Ryu, me... That's something. Still, don't tell Destroyer about that. He might go into a rage." His expression became serious. "I do hope that nothing like that will happen here... But, anyway, that's not important," he said and waved his hands, dismissing the subject. "We'll cross the bridge when we'll reach it, and it is anyway useless to fight fate."
He looked around. "I do wonder when the headmaster will announce... whatever he wants to announce."
"It is... slightly more complicated, but yes. I... really, really hope I never meet any of the male Dark Magicians again. Ever. And, as I said, there was... plenty of alcohol involved."
Hey look!. Yu-Gi-Oh meets wrasslin'!@Evi: The students all sleep together in one big room with optional curtains to hang down for privacy.
The intercom went live and every student was treated to an earful of Junas' cuss word-ridden tirade as he struggled with the electronics. As they turned to the large screens that lit up in each of the common rooms, an empty chair behind a grey desk came into view.
Junas fell silent, clearly listening to his earpiece by the tinny sounds coming through the intercom, and popped his head up to stare at the camera. "...Ah." He shot a look off to the side and placed a hand over his collar mike before engaging in a frenetic argument with someone off-screen; from the way his lips moved, something about a time machine.
The headmaster shook his head once and let his microphone breathe again, a heavy sigh coming through as sound. "Right. Erm, sorry about the delay, students, just a few technical difficulties coming through, which I had thought were dealt with at this late stage." He paused to throw a meaningful look off to the side.
"In any case, students, allow me to welcome you to your new home, once again! I'm sure you've all had a look at your new rooms to start off with, so I'll get right to the point: on each of your beds, we've given you a scarf marked with the insignia of your dorm, as well as a small portable computer which you can use to acces the database and schedule of the school wirelessly. This is an important thing to be able to recognise, since I'm sure you're all familiar with the point system used at the academy."
He waited long enough for the blank stares to begin, before continuing. "As a refresher, however, wins are worth three points for you, while losses will result in you losing points. Draws against other Stream members are worth zero points for both players, and a single point each against anyone else."
Junas clapped once, and then steepled his fingers on the desk before him. "Also, we are quite aware that it's till light out, but there are a... few things we want to keep a surprise which would be seen if we let you out to prowl the grounds," the man went on evasively. "And, as such, we ask that you stay inside the dorms for today. However—" He raised a finger. "We realise that this is a big ask of you, and so the teachers which led you to your Dorms are staying there as compensation."
Matthias felt a grin come one. He had a class to run at eight in the morning, so whoever the poor sucker who had to replace him in charge of the kids was—
"A quick reminder, because nametags aren't part of standard equipment as of yet—" He stopped again to glare off-camera. "Adroit Dorm will be looked after by Mr. Holger, Brave by Ms. Nilsdottir, and Cunning by Mr. Bergen."
Matthias' smile froze.
"Also, defeating teachers will earn you extra points, while losses against them won't drop you as many as you might otherwise lose, since they are assumed to be dueling at a higher level than students by virtue of being fully-experienced duelists. We also advise you to try out a few games with the world-first Legendary Format, to give you an entirely new taste of Dueling. Happy Dueling!"
As the screen winked out and a blue-tinted logo took Junas' place, Matthias felt twenty-seven pairs of glory-hungry eyes turn on him. I probably had this coming, to be honest.
Katja turned away from the screen, relieved that she didn't have an early class tomorrow. "Okay then," she said cheerily, Duel Disk going onto her arm and Deck slipping into place. "Who'd like a game to warm you up from the climb?"
Open season! Sorry about the lateness for this post. >.< I have a few things I need to pin down for the next events in the roleplay, so this might go on for a bit, but I promise to be faster this time. If you have any questions, PM me.
Storm and trouble won't make you make you lose your way. (Tits might, though.)"Well," said Leo, "just don't go drinking. Or hang around with Destroyer. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'll go and challenge the teacher."
He smiled. Going to his bed, he took his scarf and tied it around his neck. Next he walked toward Matthias.
"The name's Leo Al-kajima, professor," he said and once again offered his hand. "I understand that you are professor Bergen? Anyway, I do challenge you to a duel."
On empty crossroads, seek the eclipse -- for when Sol and Lua align, the lost shall find their way home.Matthias groaned inwardly, but grinned outwardly at Leo as he turned to the young man. "Well, your scarf seems to be in order, sir. You can start, if you want. Thank you for choosing me to deliver your first loss of the year to you!", the man said cheekily, every inch the waiter.
Storm and trouble won't make you make you lose your way. (Tits might, though.)

Matthias listened with a half an ear to the conversation, the hand in his jacket-pocket fidgeting in thought. Likely no danger. If a student could keep this Junk Destroyer at bay with ease, stopping him would be easy if it came to that.
On his arm, a vein pulsed in memory of his last encounter with a Spirit.
Storm and trouble won't make you make you lose your way. (Tits might, though.)
