Where: Stow-On-Side
Warnings: Nah

Jonouchi Katsuya had been here for about a week.

The last thing he remembered, was that chaos had all but broken out above the map-like trap of a massive temple in the middle of India, not long after a plane crash. Someone had maybe pushed someone?? Maybe he got pushed.

Well something happened, and that was the important part. Something happened, and then he was...here. He fell, passed out, and woke up with a rainbow pony licking his face.

"...nice t' meet y' too..." he had muttered at the time, not really sure what to do about it all. About five minutes after that the panic had set in, and he'd begun running around trying to find Yugi. Shizuka. Ryuzaki...

Hell Haga and his nervous as heck sister even, where was everyone?

And then it turned out he wasn't even in his own world. No one even knew about 'his' world, for that matter.

They just knew about theirs.

Suffice to say it was a rough week. No one he knew was here, no one who knew about Duel Monsters was here, and actually, the cards were pretty freaked until he poked at 'm.

Something about not even having access to more than their pocket of reality, which...alright that was bad. (And how did one of the God cards get in there!?)

The pony- er, Ponyta- stuck around at least, and that was pretty handy considering the fact that it was plenty obvious all the weird animals around were less the equivalent of duel monsters no one could see and...er. The local wildlife.

He knew he'd pulled someone out of his cards once or twice before, but he was pretty sure they wouldn't like being called out to deal with. The local pets. Especially in this mood (though Wingguard would probably come out to pet a yamper, knowing them).

So, Ponyta. And she wasn't too bad, kind of a sweety even! When it became clear she wasn't going away, he even got a cool idea. One that he'd get his ass kicked over, probably. "Heheheee...bet Seto-chan'd hate it if I showed up an' said yer name was Kaseri..~"

Unfortunately, registration didn't really hear him right.

"Ka...Kassuu...Kassureee..." Katherine.

Well, whatever. She could be Kaseri in his heart, that was plenty enough. Even if she was answering more to 'kasureene' than 'kaseri'.

But a week is a week, and he sure as hell wasn't going to stay here forever. He might not have been in tip-top shape after falling from another dimension, but he was recovered enough now and that meant taking a few stretches and belting off into the wodods with a whoop. "Heh! Alrigh'! Let's head on out an' get home already! We gotta find Yug' an' the others before that French guy does..!"

"Tyaaaaa~!" What she said.

...

Man though, he really hoped time was going slower in his own world or something like that, because it was going to suck if he wasted his spring break on this...

He's out of the woods pretty quick though at least! Out of the woods and...

"Huh. Guess th's place 's 'Stow-on-Side'..."

Hey Katsuya, get out of the middle of the road.

Wicke is in the middle of decorating the tree.

"You sure you can handle putting up that tree?" she asked curiously, sipping her coffee while wearing a fluffy dressing gown and offering Jounouchi the coffee mug. "It's a little big. I often get one of my neighbors to help me with it."

Alola has been a hell of a time suffice to say. It's a good thing Katsuya's actually a bit used to the whole 'being taken in by some stranger who covers a bunch of key expenses', because otherwise he'd either be neck deep in refusal, or flying off the handle to take advantage.

Instead he's alarmingly calm and even gracious about it all, possibly even a bit embarrassed- rubbing the back of his head before being shuttled off for the various needed steps involved in processing a Faller.

All very late, of course. But that's just how it goes. And now...

"Heh! I got this," he laughs easily, flashing a grin. "Sheesh th's weird though... ...Here it was barely th' start of Spring where I was, now it's Christmas again? Mannnn..."

He was lucky that he and Della and Sayori were discovered in time to be brought back, and Chairman Rose was able to arrange tickets last minute for their flights back home to Alola in time as a thank you for dealing with the situation. But cest la vie and all that.

"Time's different between different worlds," said Wicke off-handed. "I'd be surprised if the time lined up between each world the same."

"Did you want toast or eggs for breakfast after this?"

"Yeah uh...Kaiba mentioned that," he muttered- finding it far easier to use that name now that he knew just how different that version was from his own. "...Really hope th' idea abou' it freezin' is right too, t' be honest..."

Otherwise...well. He'd hope that Yugi and the others can get themselves through, but it's not exactly something that's easy to sleep over!

Oh, food- "Uhhhh.... 's both an option?" he asks as he gets going on the tree.

Wicke honestly had no answer for that. On one hand, she had perfect evidence that time did NOT freeze which would dash hopes, according to the reports that both Angela and Alice were passing between their worlds? On the other hand, Tony's world had seemed to desynchronized to barely an hour of time since his arrival. "Still looking into that to be honest," decided Wicke on her answer. "We're not sure what really happens between worlds."

"Both is an option," she said. "There's also fruit too."

He doesn't like that. He doesn't like that at all!

But, he still remembers the flash of numbers that hit is mind, so he just nods- quiet for a moment. There's nothing to be done about it anyway ultimately. He's stuck, whether he likes it or-

"Fruit too!? Heck yeah! Sign me up!" he shouts, somehow carrying the tree with even more ease and vigor as he gets the thing properly set up and stable. "Normally I'm jus' eatin cereal!"

Though to be fair that's still something of a luxury- he sure didn't get milk that often when he stayed with his dad.

"Well, you're a healthy growing young man after all," said Wicke. "There's plenty of fruit and vegetables, meat and other kinds of food for you here. Never think badly if you're hungry and want to get something out of the fridge. Okay?"

"Uh- Sure!" He's probably going to forget. Or at least Briefly hesitate, for a bit. But!

Tree. "So what kinda thing goes on here for Chris'mas anyway? I know one 'f my friends would get fried chick'n..." Ah, the ever traditional KFC Christmas....

"Well first, we have the lighting of the Banyan Tree on the seventh," said Wicke. "And this month we start our letters to Santa which are delivered to his workshop by the Delibirds. The Delibirds help him deliver presents all around the world after all."

If this didn't come out of a grown woman's mouth, and she seemed 100% convinced by it, one would think she would be humoring Jou of this situation but no. It seemed like there really was a Santa Claus on this world and EVERYONE knew of his existence.

"Cool," is what he starts to say, and then-

"...Santa?" He's so close to making a comment. Santa isn't real. He didn't even really grow up with the whole Santa thing, so this is even sillier now.

Except Wicke is absolutely an adult, and there's no way she's lying. She can't be lying they're...

Oh that was a flash. Yeah, she's not lying. "...Santa's real here!?" YOOOOOO-

"Of course he's real," said Wicke. "I don't know how long he's been around, but he's been bringing Christmas Presents to me for years."

She smiled and picked up a clock on the nearby table which was designed like a delicate pair of bird pokemon. "He brought me this when I was ten. My mother was sick that year, and my father was out of town. So I wrote him for a present that would let my mother hear birds in winter. I had no allowance."

She touched the head of the bird and it started to chirp. "It still works, twenty years later..." she said fondly. "It's never broken down, or ran out of batteries. A true Christmas miracle."

"Sheesh...no offense, but th's feels like y' just told me one 'f the local burger mascots w's real! Back where I came from, we jus' saw 'Santa' standin' outside 'f KFC or like... I dunno, decoratin' cakes or somethin'. An' pop."

Man! "Jeeze, 's gonna feel like cheatin' Christmas now, I jus' had it a few months ago..."

"Well then, you'll just have to take it easy then," giggled Wicke. "Have a relaxing second Christmas, and not get caught up in the rush."

"Heh! Y' say that, but it feels like I ought try an' make somethin' for at least a few of the folks here!" Maybe he could make a keychain or something.

"I'm not the best at crafting but...!" exclaimed Wicke. "I know of a jewelry shop which has the best accessory pieces that you could use to make things with. I'm sure you can use them to make things."

"Hah! I mean my shit ain't that special," he answers, slipping a bit with the casual cursing. "Jus' some clay an' wire put t'gether these days... ...But," he adds with a beaming smile, "Whatever it is, it'll probably be worth it right?"

The tree is probably about as good as it's getting without food though- so. "Anyway uh...y' were sayin eggs an' toast righ'?"

And fruit, Katsuya.

"And fruit, maybe some bacon too," promised Wicke. "Don't worry if meat is your worry in this world. Nearly fifty years ago, our people discovered how to grow our own meat instead of cooking Pokemon. Nowadays, all we get from Pokemon are Lucky Eggs and Milk."

"Man, you just keep on addin' it...uh-"

Woah. "What like...tha' fake meat in th' fancy grocery stores..?" No it's. It's not like that Katsuya, no,

No Really He's Fine-
