No Really He's Fine-

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.

Comments

[luckydragonsfoot]

"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-

[fallers_npcs]

"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."

[luckydragonsfoot]

"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..."

[fallers_npcs]

"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."

[luckydragonsfoot]

"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.

[fallers_npcs]

"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."

[luckydragonsfoot]

"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.

[fallers_npcs]

"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."

[luckydragonsfoot]

"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,
