001: [Video] Duel One - Greetings! 6pm

[mister_foppish]

[A video blips on as he fiddles with his device, at long last making a steady connection to the netvice community. A silvery-haired fop is now on your network—Ready to do a little chit-chatting, Siren's Port?]

Oooo. This is just like out of one of those Sci-Fi shows, you know. How exciting. Can you all hear me? Well hello, hello there! ~☆

[Waves all friendly-like with a glass of wine in one hand, smiling winsomely.]

Good evening, good evening my dear friends. I do hope all of you are having a stellar evening, indeed. I'm…What is it they say? Newly Arrived? Oh, it's really all very strange. Very confusing. Why, I've been absolutely terrified!~

Also, I confess, a little exhausted.

[Fans himself briskly with one hand and sits up from what appears to be a posh-looking couch that most certainly wasn't in the Starter Apartments, letting forth a dramatic sigh.]

Well, since it appears we're going to be stuck here for a while why don't you let me tell you a little about myself so we might get to know each other better, hm?

My name is Pegasus J. Crawford, inventor of a wonderful card game called Duel Monsters, chairman and CEO of Industrial Illusions, and I come from America. California, to be specific. Ha, ha.~ It's a wonderful place, really.

[Giggles at that, as if telling the most amusing joke.]

Pleasure to make your acquaintance. ♡

But now that you know who I am, it's only fair that I should like to get to know all of you. So, boy do I have a little question for you, Siren's Port:

Do any of you like to play games? I invented one, you know. Maybe you could help lil' old me pass the time? A winner-take-all duel, you might say. The loser takes me out to dinner. Or, if you're so inclined, maybe show me around. I could really use a tour. How about it, hm?

[ooc: Action tags are welcome. He'll come skipping right out to meet and greet almost anyone if they're friendly enough. Don't expect him to walk too far though unless you call him a cab.

Hinamori-chan. What a pretty name. Are you Japanese? You are, aren't you?

[How exciting. He loves Japan. That's where he's most popular, actually.]

Yes indeed~ Pegasus J. Crawford.

[plum_that_snaps]

Yes. Well, sort of. In a way. [She had been Japanese before she died, but once in Soul Society, nationalities became rather unimportant.]

[mister_foppish]

I rather thought so.

Japan is such an interesting country...They do love their card games, you know.

Believe it or not, I'm actually fluent in Japanese. You could even say I'm a bit of a celebrity there.

[He's considered ever the extravagant foreigner.]

Well, mainly Domino City...But all over, really.

[plum_that_snaps]

Really?

I've never heard of Domino City... but I'm not terribly familiar with all the of cities of Japan. Unless it doesn't exist in my world—I think that happens here.

[She switches to Japanese and repeats her former greeting with a bow, rather pleased to have someone who speaks her native language.]

Hajimemashite, Crawford-san.

(Backtagging forever <3)

[mister_foppish]

Yes, indeed.

Oh...Well, if that is the case, then I suppose it's very possible that I might not know where you're from either, hm?

[Looks positively pleased himself, bowing in turn, if a bit less deeply. It's been a while since he was addressed so formally.]

Hajimemashite, Hinamori-chan. Douzo yoroshiku.

slow here, so backtags are forever love

[plum_that_snaps]

I honestly don't remember where I'm from. I died over a hundred years ago. The place I came from before this is known as Soul Society.

Here too! SO YAY.

[mister_foppish]

....Really? Over a hundred, you say?

I've never heard of that...

[plum_that_snaps]

We don't interact with humans a lot, so it's not surprising that most of them haven't heard of us. Although there are stories... you've heard of shinigami, right? That's what I am.

[mister_foppish]

Shinigami...?

[He vaguely recalls some Japanese myths relating to that.]

A god or spirit of death?

[plum_that_snaps]

Mm hm. After I died, I was able to become a death god, helping other souls pass on.

[mister_foppish]

[He's not really sure what to make of that. But, given people canonly die in Yugioh all the time due to a card game...Besides, he essentially has waged war against death trying to resurrect his dead wife.

However, he can't be skeptical. He believes wholeheartedly in things supernatural.]

You are a guardian to the lost souls, then. Guiding them to their afterlife..Hm. I hadn't realized there could be...Other orchestrators of fate and death besides those I've already known, but you know, it rather makes sense. Does this place have other such beings?

[plum_that_snaps]

You mean, are there others like me? Or other... non humans. Both, I think—well, definitely yes to the first one, but I don't know about the other one.

[mister_foppish]

Hm. I wonder if I shall meet them...? I'd like to know what sort of secrets this island has.

Along with what sort of people it has residing on it. Surely there must be a reason that I'm here...
