Works for me. We both live in weird places as far as anyone else knows!

[fluffydeathdealer]

Anyway, since you're helping me out, I'll fill you in on anything you're curious about regarding my world.

[inheritedburden]

Whatever you want to talk about, I wanna hear about. I don't really care what it is!

...well, unless it's boring average stuff that's anywhere, like working.

[fluffydeathdealer]

What kind of loser do you think I am?

[inheritedburden]

Dunno! I don't know anything about your world, remember?

[fluffydeathdealer]

The correct answer is "None".

[Deadpan.]

Anyway, I'm not going to just ramble at random.

[inheritedburden]

Okay, then...

Tell me about how fighting works. You don't know about ki, so do you guys do martial arts at all? Or do you just use weapons?

[fluffydeathdealer]

Fighting's frowned upon. People can learn martial arts for fun or self-defence, but they tend to leave fighting to the police.

There are weapons, but using them is considered very bad, and killing or harming another person will get you imprisoned. If you're caught, anyway.

[He sounds amused.]

[inheritedburden]

I guess there's not many strong people in your world, if the police can handle it?

[He sounds incredulous, like Bakura just told him wars were solved by kittens.]

[fluffydeathdealer]

Of course there aren't. I just told you that ki wasn't a thing there. Most people can't do worse than bruise each other without weapons. And weapons can be duplicated.

Apart from exceptions like me, there's very little the police can't handle.

[inheritedburden]

Wow... I guess it's really quiet there, then.

[Sorry, he's just having trouble processing it, considering the world he's from has been blown up at least once now.]

[fluffydeathdealer]

You could say that. Most people live their entire lives without experiencing the slightest threat.

[inheritedburden]

That's... well, pretty cool for them, I guess. I think it'd be way too weird for me, though...

Are there not even any martial arts tournaments?

[fluffydeathdealer]

Nothing major. There's a few rare ones you see on movies and you can visit small ones every so often, but martial arts isn't really that common a thing.

[Now card games, on the other hand...]

[inheritedburden]

Wow... so what do you guys do for fun?

[fluffydeathdealer]

[Flicking a hand up, he holds one of his cards - Dark Necrofear - between two fingers.]

We play games.

[inheritedburden]

What kinda games?

[...wait a minute, he recognizes that.]

Hey... I think that's the same kinda card that the one guy had!

[fluffydeathdealer]

This is Duel Monsters. It's one of many games we play and the most popular. Whoever it is you met before must be a duelist; you should probably ask them for details if you're interested.

[Bakura doesn't have the patience for teaching people jack shit.]

[inheritedburden]

Yeah, I probably should go find him. He was trying to teach me when we couldn't understand anything each other was saying! He was talking the same garbled language you were, too, so it was even worse.

[fluffydeathdealer]

...hoh?

[The same language? Then that probably means...]

That was probably Yugi-kun. Our very own "Duel King".

[inheritedburden]

Yugikun? That's a... really weird name.

Uh... he had some kind of upside down arrow thing that felt really hollow. And he was wearing a lot of leather.

Was that him?

[fluffydeathdealer]

...heh. [He's not even going to correct him. That amuses him too much.]

The Millennium Puzzle is a Pyramid, not an arrow. But that's him.

[inheritedburden]

Oh! ...yeah, I guess it did look like one of those, now that I think about it. I just hadn't really seen any before.

I guess the way it's made, it'd have to be hollow or it'd be really heavy... though it and that Ring thing of yours still look pretty heavy for normal people to wear anyway!

[fluffydeathdealer]

They are. They're pure gold after all...

[Well. And blood. If the thief king is right. The thought makes his lips twitch into a smile.]

The Puzzle is literally that; it's made of a bunch of pieces that fit together. That guy's the only one who can wear it. It chose him.

[inheritedburden]

...Your world's really weird.

[Yeah, they agreed it was the same for them both, but that just really needs to commented on. A puzzle chose him? What the fuck man.]

Um, you said he was a king? A king of what?
