fiddlesticks 25, video from standard coach: open to all

Sooooo, not being able to talk to most of the train that day sucked, huh? I don't know what to think about any of that, but since we can talk to each other now, I was thinking: How about we share where we're from, and see who's from worlds like ours?

And who speaks the same languages too! An actual list be better if that ever happens again, but for now, tell us about the kind of place you're from, what makes home home to you! You got kings or dragons? Machines? Portals to other worlds? Talking sea life? You just trying to get through school?

I'll go first to give you guys an idea, but share whatever you feel like!


( ooc: this is open to all, meaning feel free to put up a post and chat with other characters! )

It's called Duel Monsters. It's a card game...you choose your monsters, spells, and traps, and play against your opponents' deck.

I've built new technology for the game that can simulate summoning without involving anyone's souls. Here, I'll show you.

[ He pulls his disk out of his rucksack, slaps a card on it, and summons his favorite dragon, appropriately scaled to sit behind him. It roars approvingly. ]

Simple, right?

[

they played a card game? Which is still on Tidus's mind before the holographic dragon appears. O-K. That's a thing. He looks somewhat confused and baffled. ]

Uhhh, yeah. Sure. [ which part is simple... ] So this ancient old guy played this card game someone made up, and that was enough to make him happy?

[ Is he getting this right. ]

I glossed over that part, but I'll double back.

[ He reaches back to mime petting his dragon. It's not solid, but it purrs anyway. ]

There was an ancient war involving dark magic with this game. A jerk I won't name discovered tablets depicting the war, and was inspired to make a card game. Then the ancient spirits broke loose and we got drawn into the war against our wills.

The good guy 'won', and now he's back where he belongs. And happy, I'd hope.

[ Well, really, Tidus was more confirming the story already told, but that does it too. Talk about strange, and he doesn't think it's going to lose that quality no matter which way he's told it. ]

Huuuhh...

Well, by the sounds of your ancient guy, he probably figured the two of you said enough through your match, you know? That type. Enough -- words are useless [ --and he puts on an old voice just for that-- ] kind of guy.

But geez, finding out people had wars with card games... there's some funny worlds out there.
