Gonna Be A Great Day - Open Mingle

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.]

Who....is that?

There is a man- early twenties perhaps- tall and dark skinned and riddled with strange tattoos like ivy up the arms and neck and even the left side of his face- idly leaning against some of the local structures with a drink in hand. Some sort of slurpee, maybe. He pushes his red-rimmed glasses up his face, pendulum swaying gently from the braid at the right side of his rather leaf-like black hair, and takes a good long swig from said drink through the straw.

Honestly he dresses a bit like that 'hipster' archetype, or similar. A tight vest, a tight t-shirt, tight jeans....converse...yep. He's got the package deal there.

There are also some curious bracelets on his left arm what is with that. And...

"Mnh?"

Hold on this guy looks familiar,

There's another young man walking down the road, munching on food from a takeout box. "Man, this stuff is real good," he said through a mouthful of fried shrimp. "Makes me realize how much I missed a good homecooked meal. I should stop by this world all the time."

The overly large tabby meowed at his side as he dangled the food at it as the spirit next to him sighed before the other spirit, the one who looked like a young professor looked up. "Judai-kun..."

"Yeah I see him. Hey," he called out to Hatsu, waving. "You're a long way from home."

Ssssslllllllllllrrr-

Pp?

Eyebrows go way way up as Hatsu turns to that guy and oh shiiiiii- "Mn- O- Oi, Judai?" He'll stop slurping slurpee for now. "As in Judai Yuuki..?" Huh! "...Huh. I guess I shouldn't be surprised... ...you know they have a plaque for you in the Academy of Fusion? Sort of weird but at least it was after your time..." Uh.

Anyway. "Eh, everyone's a long way from home here! It's a great big space party!"

Judai chuckled. "Relax. I'm not here to make trouble, Hatsu" he said, even though the Name behind it was clearly Zarc. "I just wanted to see how you were doing in the big space party!"

Grinning as he leaned against the wall next to him, he fed another fried shrimp to Pharoah who decided Hatsu's leg was the perfect leaning board. Have a huge chonker rubbing your leg dude.

"I won't bore you with the details," said Judai, dipping his shrimp into prawn sauce, "But every Duel World is in shambles right now. And I mean it. Yusei and I have been working overtime trying to fix them all. And it makes it worse since the Pokemon have started showing up in almost all of them. But we make due! I want to know just one thing!" Judai took a bite. "How's your vacation? Relaxing?"

Oh! Oh no- Oh!

One finger to his lips in what would probably be a set of steepled ones if one hand didn't have a drink, he frowns- not angrily but simply...uncomfortably? "....Don't. Do that again, whatever that was, please," he ultimately asks, grimacing. From there though his eyes go quite wide.

"Seriously? You could've had me fooled then, didn't look to be shambles when I left from where I was at..." ....

Slllllllrrrrrppp...

And shrug. "Relaxing enough- not gonna lie, a lot of time for me ends up a 'vacation' these days." Though maybe now that he actually uses his savings that'll change...

"Does the name Paradox have any meaning to you? I won't blame you if it doesn't," replied Judai airily. "And don't worry, I won't do that again. Yubel was prodding me to do it anyhow. I just had to make sure of something."

He raised an eyebrow. "Pharaoh seems to like you well enough. And he doesn't like anyone."

"Cool, great of 'm," he remarks sarcastically about Yubel, only to shrug and shake his head as he moves to pet the cat. "...Can't say it does though- only Paradox I know about is the one that isn't a person." Time paradoxes, and all that.

Anyway. "Heh! I get that a lot- probably one of the plants I'm made of, maybe there's cat grass in there."

"Pharaoh can be very picky that way," said Judai as the cat decided to rest against Hatsu's leg, purring.

"You know, this is just a prelude. Not that there's anything bad coming? It's just... another convergence of souls again."

Scritch scritch...scritch scritch...Pharaoh is getting spoiled, at least until Judai says That.

Then, well.

"...And what's that supposed to mean then?" he asks calmly, voice maybe a little heavy.

Of course, being from a world with Duel Monsters, as far as Shizuka and Zahra are concerend, there's only one way to celebrate a reunion: A duel!

"Not gonna go easy on you, babe!" Zahra yells as they draw their opening hand.

So does Shizuka. "I'd make this even more painful if you did."

"Alright! I set Timegazer Magician and Stargazer Magician in my Spell and Trap Zone, forming the Pendulum Scale!" wow wait hold up,

The two familiar magicians appear beside Zahra in columns of light, paying no mind to "Hatsu."

"Swing, pendulum of my soul! Pendulum Summon! Come on out, Palladium Oracle Mana and Apprentice Illusion Magician!" The real, actual Mana nearby (that must be a trip) whoops and cheers for her monster counterparts. "Using the Level 6 Palladium Oracle Mana and the Level 6 Apprentice Illusion Magician, I build the Overlay Network. Young dreams combine into the hope of the cosmos! Spellbinding witch, heed my call: Magi Magi ☆ Magician Gal!"

how did they pronounce the star,

Zahra clearly isn't done, but if Hatsu wants to step in now...

Cool a duel. Cool, co-

"PFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFTT-" And that's slurpee, everywhere,

Hatsu is choking, and while he's not about to interrupt, he's not exactly making it easy not to be a distraction. "K-KHH! KAH! KUH! What!?"

WHAT!

"Now! By using Magi M- waitholdon." Zahra's head snaps towards Hatsu currently in the process of choking on his own slurpee. "Shizuka I need to be a good Samaritan real quick!" And so they rush over to Hatsu to perform the Heimlich on him while Shizuka sighs, shaking her head.

"KGH-OH! OHH! GEeze!" he wheezes, not expecting that at all. "I'm fine, I don't need-! Shit- !"

BLEASE HAVE MERCY ON HIM HE'S BUT A HIPSTER TREE

"Oh! Haha, sorry. You looked like you were having-" Zahra rubs the back of their neck.

Shizuka startles, then grimaces. "Because the other player has left the dueling area, their turn is forfeit!"

"Oh, c'mon, that's c-"

"Draw! When you control a monster and I don't, I can special summon Unknown Synchron from my hand."

"this is just a little overkill dont you"

"Next, I normal summon Red-Eyes Retro Dragon from my hand, then Tribute it to activate its effect: I summon Red-Eyes Black Dragon from my hand to the field! Burn bright with the flames of potential, Red-Eyes!"

"wait are you really gonna-"

"Unknown Synchron tunes Red-Eyes Black Dragon! The heaven and earth shall tremble before the dragon's might. Show the world the scars carved into your soul! Synchro Summon! The savage soul, Scarlight Red Dragon Archfiend!"

"buh"

Shizuka immediately vaults over a few other tables to reach Hatsu, the mark on her forearm blazing bright, Scarlight following close behind. "I would suggest that you say what the hell a spirit of your caliber is doing inhabiting... is that even a mortal body? What the hell did you do?"

"Oh, that's rough," Hatsu's starting- he can appreciate a good advantage taking moment in a duel after all. Except-

"Huh?" Now Shizuka is coming...At him? "Geeze!" he shouts, jumping back only to end up against the wall- instantly, plants are rising off from the tattoos, a pair of pistols materializing in his hands as his eyes shine. "How about it's my body?! What the hell are you?" he snaps back, a snake slowly rising from 'nothing' on the man's shoulder.

"Indeed....someone here is quick to jump forward, aren't they? What business have you with my host and partner, Signer from elsewhere? Choose careful words, lest you find how far from a disadvantage you have us..."

As much as Veles says that, Hatsu flashes a snarl at the snake. "We're not fighting on a vacation, geeze!"

"Shizuka, uh, I don't think you understand how the rules work here-" Zahra places a hand on their beau's shoulder, attempting to calm her down, but Shizuka is laser-focused on Hatsu and Veles. She has a job to do.

"On my world, every time that ka as powerful as you are allowed to roam free or manage to find a way to unbind themselves, they cause a lot of trouble for everyone else. Especially when they manage to attach themselves to a mortal's ba—judging by his condition, you've bound yourself pretty damn well. And since I'm the only person currently qualified to be a spirit lawkeeper or whatever on my planet thanks to my Signer mark, it's my job to bust ghosts like you and send you back to the spirit realm. So-"

"Shizuka, you're acting like a cop again."

"..." Shizuka slumps, falling silent. "Oh. Fuck."

"Listen, if these guys were here to make trouble, they'd be making trouble already."

"Now that you put it that way..."

"S'okay."

"I've had a very stressful month. With you gone, a. A lot of bad ka started coming out of the woodworks."

"When was the last time you slept."

"Eleven days ago."

"Sweet Slifer, I..." Zahra abruptly realizes they have company and coughs. "Er. Sorry about that."

Huh. Well he looks plenty unimpressed.

Sssslllllrrrrrrrp. "Wow," Hatsu drawls between the sips. "You even still say 'Ka'. What's next, challenging me to a shadow game?"

He cracks his neck, groaning. "Geeze- I already got my ass kicked into next week by Yuume, I don't need telling twice! You and your partner don't have anything to worry about from me. Or him," he adds, jabbing a thumb at the snake before it disappears. "But maybe keep in mind that the rules look to be different between the dots here? Some places don't even have shadows."

Zahra crosses their arms, snorting. "What, and kick your ass at it? Please. I don't want to hurt you."

zahra no,

Shizuka sighs, pinching the bridge of her nose. "Zahra, dear, I hate to break it to you, but if you challenged this man to a shadow game, your ass would be the one to get kicked in concave.

"...and that would be a real tragedy~"

Blushing furiously, Zahra stumbles over their words. "G- gah- d- buh. I- uh. YUUME. You know Yuume?"

"I mean..." He shrugs, letting Shizuka handle that. "Aside from being just a bit archaic...I'm not into the whole 'sanity at risk' deal."

Anyway. He raises a brow. "She's from where I was, so obviously! Not surprised you didn't jump down her throat though I guess..." What he means by that is unclear, but he goes on. "Anyway she fell here to start with, the rest of us did some training...I guess in a way she did some herself, so a duel would probably still end with me on the losing end," he sighs, shaking his head. "No matter How serious it got..."

Zahra and Shizuka cock their heads to the side. Both at the same time. Wait, when did they start holding hands? Because they're certainly holding hands now.

"Okaaaaay then. Aside from that everything, I have to ask: why did you freak out like that when I set my Pendulum Scale?" Zahra asks. "You did not look like you were having a good time, friendo."

"Hah! You'd have the same response too, if someone pulled out your 'one of a kind' cards! Far as I knew only I had those, and that wasn't even forever," he snorts, only to give a shrug. "But whatever, I guess- convergence of realities and all that, it figures they'd be in other decks."

"Huh. That's weird, these are- or were before Kaiba got ahold of them and added them to general circulation- one-of-a-kind too." Zahra scratches their head, curious as to what was the Magicians' deal in Hatsu's world. "I got them from a big, green dragon to defeat a cult."

well that's one way to put it,

Hmmm. HMMMM! Hmm-

"....I'm pretty sure I was more black than green..." And... "...definitely didn't have a cult..."

He's muttering...

...Ah well. "Ahhh, well, they look to be in good hands in your case at least...saving the world or whatever you were doing is probably a better use of their power anyway."
