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.]

All the blood in Zahra's face drains away. "Wait, what's going to happen to Domino City?" they're far more preoccupied with that yes,

"Hold on. Yugi, you said the tournament is happening in Nazca?" Shizuka, however, is focused on more immediately pressing matters. "They're turning it on there?"

"Yeah, Hideo's riding duel got really popular, remember? So Paradox decided to make it an official format and-"

Now it's Shizuka's turn to pale. "Oh no. You don't think they're trying to..."

"Sweet Slifer, d- do you think this Paradox guy is trying to awaken... whatever possessed Hideo that one time?" Zahra looks very, very afraid all of a sudden. "If one riding duel was enough to wake up their Servants, then if you have a bunch of them happen at once and then detonate this Moment thing..."

"Right. I should probably explain." Shizuka sighs, forcing herself to focus. "I don't know how much you know about our world in particular, but there's these immortal... things bound beneath Nazca's geoglyphs. I suspect you've had an encounter with them in your time. When we were on our little year-long apocalyptic roadtrip, one of our friends was indoctrinated into a cult. We met her in Nazca, Zahra tried a really stupid stunt to get her to wake up- a duel on a motorcycle, of all things. The moment a Synchro was summoned, we woke up these... things that were servants of the gods beneath, and Hideo got possessed by them instead. That's when something called the Crimson Dragon gave me this," Shizuka rolls up her sleeve, revealing the Heart of the Dragon, "to fight them and stop them from awakening their masters. Afterwards, it told me to look out for the rest of the 'Signers' in around half a century and help them.

"I think Paradox is trying to move up the timetable."

"Don't go too crazy with presumption. Seeing a bad ending is what caused Paradox to cause this whole mess in the first place." said Ushio, sipping calmly. "And as a result, every Duel World suffered and splinter into little worlds, lowercase."

"You're right, you're right." Zahra sighs, dragging a hand down their face. "Still, we probably need to at least go check it out soon. It's basically my only job back home."

"Agreed. Let's get moving immediately."

"No, you stay here and recover."

"I-"

"Which one of us has stayed up for eleven days straight?"

"..."

"Look, I'm not going to go without you. Okay? But I can't have you getting hurt."

Yugi keeps slurping, looking on awkwardly.

"You should take some time getting some rest at least." said Ushio. "Judai and Yusei are looking into things for now."

"At the least, it won't implode for the time being."
