Gonna Be A Great Day - Open Mingle

[acmellash]

Once everyone was able to connect to the worlds even despite the worries that abounded, business seemed to work as usual as the people of Ultra Metropolis seemed to also have their own festivals even in this world. Today, they had invited everyone into their world as a show of good faith, as the sky was lit up with the light of stars as the brilliant stars above were glittering despite the radiance of the Etemax Tree far away on the coast.

The people of Paxio were really welcoming, and some of them would love to battle the newcomers. But more importantly, it was Alolans who were really bringing their delicious fruits, foods and vegetables to the land as the beach zone was lit up with beautiful lanterns.

It's very magical, and there's actually some good stuff about this world, as the people of Duckburg, Crystal Cove, Ultra Metropolis and Alola mingled. And you should take this time to relax, it's going to be some time before anything will be done. The Kahuna are meeting with the leaders of each world right now, so don't worry too much about it.

[Open mingle post, have fun everyone! Food and delightful beach fun. It is tropical after all.]

NPC Ushio

[persuitchaser]

There's a large, burly man still in uniform as it were, but his jacket was slung over his shoulder. Alongside him walked a Exadrill and he was nodding to some of the newcomers, smiling and taking some of the gifts offered when he noticed Kaiba and his family there. A wellspring of awkward gratitude rose up in his chest and he cleared his throat.

"Mr. Kaiba," he said, sketching a respectful bow. "It's been a few years. You're looking well."

Kaiba might remember him as the bully who extorted his fellow schoolmates. But now, he looked official, cleaned up, and most importantly there was a badge on his belt with an official Domino Security logo on it. "I hope I'm not intruding."

[blue_ice]

Kaiba didn't recognize the man right away. He was older, after all, and he hadn't actually attended Domino High in a while. He stands, moving in front of Mokuba as he racks his memory...

...oh, right, the bully. He remembered hearing chatter about him from Jonouchi and Honda, because those two were eternally loud. Something had clearly changed, but given his ironic dislike of bullies, he'll exercise caution.

He inclines his head.

"....Ushio. What brings you here?"

[persuitchaser]

"Same reason you are," said Ushio, chuckling. "Here to help the world and all. It's been, what, 20 years since I saw you last? Maybe more."

"I'm not the same Ushio I've been since the old days, I learned my lesson fairly well after my encounter with Him." Him implying the Pharoah who left him scrambling in the dirt for leaves thinking they were piles of money. "Suffice to say it, a long time's passed and I won't get into details but you're looking pretty well right now. Vice-President Mokuba, a pleasure." He added with a nod of his head.

"Right now I'm thinking of offering my services to the Metropolis heads since I'm no good at helping the Alolans other than grunt work. You guys have it all covered right now.

[blue_ice]

"Mmm. You've grown."

Bigger and bulkier, obviously. Any other changes he'll have to see for himself. Kaiba straightens his posture and nods.

"The guards around here have Pokémom partners, for the most part. Do you have one yet?"

[persuitchaser]

"I've got one," said Ushio, gesturing to his partner Exadrill who gave them a salute from near his knee. "Meet Excadrill. He and I met in Neo Domino actually before I arrived here."

"And now we're here for a festival. I gotta admit, this is a nice place, even with the weird stuff going on. If it wasn't Ancient Egyptians in the past, it was Incans in the present. And now it's Pokemon."

[blue_ice]

"I'm going to have to head back to sort this out at some point. Domino from almost every point in the century is represented here. And now I have to worry about a rampaging Snorlax crushing someone."

He snorts, though it's not an amused sound.

"Take it in. For all the drama that happens here...as tired as I am of being jerked around like someone's plaything? It's not entirely awful."

He reaches down to pet Goose, his loyal Goomy curled at his side.

[persuitchaser]

"To be fair, we haven't had that trouble," said Ushio with a laugh. "The snorlax we did get? Just rolled over and slept on a duel lane."

"Hey I getcha. There's a lot of great stuff here. I went to Alola before this and wow... smell that tropical air. Even here, it's really tropical."

That's a genuine smile on Ushio's face. A warm happy expression.

[blue_ice]

He's considerably mellowed out in his 'old age'. Kaiba relaxes a little more, leaning on his Stoutland with a contented sigh.

"Good. Make sure you've visited. There's a lot to learn for anyone who cares to pay attention. And...be on your guard, I'm concerned Eternatus will awaken soon. "

[persuitchaser]

Ushio had a lot of time to mellow out, considering what he's lived through, through two Duel Incidents. Well, three if you consider two separate duel incidents in Neo Domino.

"I'll make a note of that. And if anything, I'll be hearing from Yusei soon. I'll be sure to introduce you to him when he's around."

[blue_ice]

"...he's someone from your team? From a point further along in the timeline, I take it."

[persuitchaser]

"Yusei saved us all." replied Ushio. "All of Neo Domino owes him greatly. Him and his team."

[blue_ice]

"...hm. Then I'll stop by if he ever wants to see me."

He settles back into his comfortable spot, hoisting Goose up to smile at her. His team's getting sleepy, it's almost their bedtime.

"But I can show you to the recon squad if you're still looking for a security job here."

[persuitchaser]

"I'll poke him in the right direction then." said Ushio.

"Thanks, that'd be appreciated. If you need to set your team to bed, then I'll let you go and we can catch up later?" offered Ushio.
