Angela wasted no time, quickly pulling aside the undamaged cards and setting them aside.
Then, quickly, she wiped the half-deck off on her shirt, and, squinting, glanced along the edges of the cards. She set aside all but a few.
"Most of these should still be okay. I'd try to get the rest of the marshmallow off what's left, but I think licking a Giant Germ in front of you would send the wrong message. And you should be ashamed of yourself for even thinking it!"
Her mind seems to lean pretty far in a certain direction.
I'm telling you, chicks can't resist the allure of sleeveless wool.
"This coming from the girl who was ready to do something much less implied over a little card advice." If all else fails, feign confidence. "Either way they might still be usable if I can keep them from sticking together. Do you know if these duel disks can read cards through protective sleeves?"
Add me on Skype: Al Cook (darnpenguin)"You're still a dirty old man. But at least I know you're willing to use protection. And for the record, I was willing to go that far because I thought my only other option was to get expelled. Anyhow... I think they should. Depends on the kind of sleeves, if I remember correctly, but I'm not sure what school policy is on those. I'd think if they were allowed, more poeple would use them... Maybe nobody else has thought to ask..."
She paused, as if deep in thought.
"Look into that for me, will ya?"
"...No, I'm pretty much screwed timewise with regards to all the stuff I have to get done and I'm stuck trying to pull not only my own weight, but that of someone who didn't bother to learn the difference between a Krebons and a Kuribon before they came here. Not to mention that at least one person here is using a card that's supposedly killed people..."
"Alright, then. If anyone hassles you about being out late, just tell them the truth, that you were talking to me. I'll vouch for you."
Yes, because the teacher who just arrived here already on thin ice has the power to vouch for a student who isn't in any of his classes.
Barnaby once again opened the door, hoping this time she would actually make use of it.
Add me on Skype: Al Cook (darnpenguin)Angie stepped into the doorway, but then turned around.
"I can already think of one card you might want to look into... Marshmallon! It's got marshmallowy goodness built right in... Might save you some time. Bye!"
And with that, she skipped off down the hall and back out onto the campus.

Jordan frowned as he opened the door to his dorm room. There was a bunk bed and a desk, and a sink. That was it.
\A school this big can't afford equal lodgings for all of its students?
\He sighed, setting his things down on the bottom bunk. I supposed I should just be thankful that there's air conditioning...

We're off the boat, and it's nighttime now- just say you're in your dorm, looking for a room.
Hey look!. Yu-Gi-Oh meets wrasslin'!Hauling her suitcase behind her like a neurotic semi truck pulling a trailer full of clothes, Angela dashed madly across campus. She wasn't quite sure when curfew was, but she suspected that missing it wouldn't be a very good first impression.
"School nurse, school nurse... Gah! Is somebody out here who can give me directions?!"
"Yes, someone's here, but should you be, little girl?" a voice said before the Earl stepped onto the path.
"Hmm... Vash didn't lie. There is always someone who misses curfew the first day, and they do come through here."
Hey look!. Yu-Gi-Oh meets wrasslin'!"Headmaster Earl Llyod P. Asplund. Or some combination thereof, I really don't care. And said World History teacher is also new, has no prior dueling experience, got here on a lost bet on my part- that damn blind kid stacked the deck, I swear- and has a ninety percent chance of being fired in two months. So his oppinion doesn't matter much to me. But you are...?"
Hey look!. Yu-Gi-Oh meets wrasslin'!"Angela Rath. Almost didn't get accepted on account of the whole webcam thing and that one incident in High School where I hit the guy after all my cards got stolen and he made a rather... tasteless... comment about how I might be able to get some new ones from him. On the way to the school nurse to see about making sure I have my meds. If you're talking about the same blind guy I think you are, I'm surprised you took that bet."
She paused, twiddling her fingers and suddenly looking very nervous.
"Retroactively requesting permission to speak freely, sir?"

"I work for him. Well, him and the lunatic who lives on the volcano... but I just realized that you didn't know who I was. That means you missed the-"
"Wait, webcam? You said your name was Angela Rath, right? Hmm..." He pulled out a pen and notebook and wrote her name down. "Depending on what this webcam buisness is, you may get expelled. No, not if it's school inappropriate- if it's school inappropriate and bad. Too bad Cyrus the Eyeless can't see it." He smiled... slightly psychotically, to tell the truth. "Run along now, the nurse is Blair Flannegan, your dormmaster and dorm head."
DISCLAIMER: The views of the Earl do not reflect my own. He's just a Jerk Ass.
Hey look!. Yu-Gi-Oh meets wrasslin'!"Because I was helping Professor Loadless with some bags. He's ready to learn to duel, and he's asked me for help."
A mischievous smile crept across her face.
I shouldn't do what I'm about to do... But no risk, no reward...
"Cyrus the Eyeless, huh? Kind of crazy, likes to skydive, owns a card that could get us all killed? Sounds like you're a gambler... And, if you're brave enough to make a bet with him, surely you wouldn't be afraid of an itty bitty wager with little old me, now would you?"

"What's the wager? Because the only thing I'd bet on sanely was that you could get his glasses. I have plenty of cards if you can."
Hey look!. Yu-Gi-Oh meets wrasslin'!"Quality, of course. It's hopefully immoral if it isn't school appropriate. And I hope you aren't thinking of taking his Wicked card."
Hey look!. Yu-Gi-Oh meets wrasslin'!"You kidding? That thing gives me the crawlies. Anyway, I was thinking that maybe we could have a little wager on..."
She paused, as if now suddenly realizing something important.
"So if I'm not expelled, that means you think I'm pretty? That you don't hate me?"

"Fine, it was just a little embarrassing, losing to a deck full of random stuff. I want a rematch."
