TDM 005: Ch-ch-changes!
A, Garden Level - Autumn Celebrations!
[It may be November in the real world but when you're dead time is fake! So this week/month GARDENFEST is happening...........aka a bootleg mishmash of Oktoberfest and an Xmas Market. In general: PARTY TIME.
Drinks! Foods! Bad singing!! Drunkenly built gingerbread houses! You're thrown in a festive identity clash of imps and cherubs in the garden playing music that doesn't match or shoving drinks at you. Don't worry, if you don't want a mug of beer, it might just be gingerale! Anyway sorry you died but PARTY PARTY JOIN US JOIN US--]
B, Hell Level: ICE to meet you!
[Down at the HellRaiser hotel, the hellish amenities await your every need, but spooky season is over. Aside from the usual, er, allure of Hell, it also seems to be slowly freezing over. Ruh roh. It's not much now, but occasionally you may be hit by a teeny tiny icicle as you explore, awww. Other times it's a whole fucking STALACTITE crashes down on you. Better dodge or hope someone pushes you out the way!! Look out for slick sidewalks too!
Otherwise, hey have some fun in Hell!! Go to a club, get some drugs, go to a casino, win and get mugged!! Ever have a drink made out of literal MAGMA? Go on, try it!! Slaps hell's cobbled brimstone you can fit so much chaos down here!]
C, Heaven Level: Spice, spice, baby.
[Heaven-side, the cherubs are ready to welcome you and give you the VIP treatment!! Massages! Manipedis! Lavish outfits and attention! You can raise your hand and just get a fucking cat sat on your lap! Truly, this is bliss!!
Oh, but it's also cozy season in Heaven! So along with the best fits for the chillier weather, There are an assortment of beverages being offered by angels for you to sample (CW Mind Manipulation):
Apple Spiced Latte- Tasty and earthy! But you suddenly feel more subservient.
Cranberry Spiced Latte- A bit tart but it works. This might make you sassier than usual.
Stuffing Spiced Latte- There is no effect. Why would you drink this you monster.
For the TDM you can find small cherub-run kiosks with these drinks on any level you prefer! If that's not your cuppa joe, feel free to explore the beauty of Heaven per usual! The beach! Boardwalk! All the cafes!! Whatever heaven should have, you can likely find it.]
OOC NOTES:
-I KNOW THIS TDM IS BIT LACKING SO TBH FEEL FREE TO PULL PROMPTS FROM OLDER ONES TOO, DO WHATEVS

-Remember regardless of your alignment, you are free to travel to whatever level you wish!

Yuugi ponders for a minute.]
I wouldn't think so? If it's part of your body, I'd think it wouldn't be that easy to put out.
[His tail twitches slightly, but stays up.]
I think you'll be all right. Otherwise we might have to think about getting you fireproof umbrellas!
no subject
[It's not even about being clean it is about being in the hot box of relief-]
Y'know, I feel like those might act'lly be real here though...like, somethin' you'd need down below...
no subject
[Yuugi blinked.]
Hmmm...you think? I've been meaning to go down there to explore, but I haven't done it yet.
[This is a guy who befriended a guy who brainwashed and tried to kill his friends. Hanging out in Hell? Sounds like a picnic.]
no subject
[Golly, what a difference between him and Kaiba huh?]
Mnh, way people are putting it, th' place is all fire and more fire right? Feels like fire umbrellas would make sense!
[Then again that would involve people caring about other people or...or...aw dammit.]
Ehhh, I went as far as th' lobby, but there wasn't really a reason to go out in th' city. Not like I'm old enough for most of that crap, [he snorts, apparently forgetting the part where realistically the denizens of Hell probably don't even care.
But also, it appears Chronological Fate has Encountered an Error.]
no subject
[Maybe it was an excuse, though. Maybe he just didn't want to mess with things like that because of...
...
Of... family reasons.]
I'll let you know how it is, though. Who knows, there might be something fun we can do sometime!
no subject
[Though, saying that, he does cock his head and think about it.] Nyh...mean, I guess it's Hell so they probably don' care much but...
[As Yugi can imagine...Family reasons.]
Heh- aw man, now yer gonna make me feel like I gotta go down there with y' though jus' in case now!
no subject
No, no, you don't have to go with me, Jonouchi! I'll be okay by myself. If you want to you can, but I can take care of myself!
[For once.
Finally.]
no subject
Hey, don't doubt tha'! If ye got dragon stuff, I bet y' can pack just as much punch! If anythin', I'd be more worried abou'...
[It is at this momemt that Jonouchi realizes something. It's easier to forget about after the Virtual World- the puzzle, after all, didn't manifest in there.
But this isn't VR. It's...well. Not real life, but at least real afterlife, and they showed up in their clothes so...]
Wait...
Aw geeze yer actually alone ain'tcha..! Th' other you ain't here at all is he..!!
[A CHRONOLOGICAL ERROR HAS BEEN ENCOUNTERED-]
no subject
[Yuugi looked at him like he'd been punched. Seriously, that was a wound he didn't think Jonouchi was going to bring to the surface, to rip open and spill his guts across the ground for everyone to see.]
I...
Jonouchi, of...
[He was actually alone. Alone.]
Of course I...he went home, remember?
[Went home.
Because he still couldn't bear to think of him as dead, even after all this time. For all that he said to Kaiba and others, in the grand scheme of things, he really was just a hypocrite, wasn't he...?]
no subject
And while his hair isn't out, it certainly seems to have lost its life, the griffon standing there and freezing immediately. 'Went home', Yugi says- it's plain to see Jonouchi is not comprehending this.
Went home, went home, went...] Th...Th' hell do y' mean w...
Went...
[He doesn't accuse him of lying. It's Yugi. He wouldn't lie like this, joke like this, and the emotion on his friend's face is frankly too raw for it.
Impossibly, a thought clicks. It...it can't be though right? It can't...]
....Yugi...what's your las' memory...?
[He doesn't even realize how small his own voice is.]
no subject
He's good at that.
Smile to hide the pain, smile to hide everything. So long as everyone else is okay, then he's okay.
Really.
Look, he's smiling. It's not a real one, and it doesn't reach his eyes, but he's trying.]
Graduation. I was getting ready to start university.
[He paused.]
Is that not...what you remember...?
no subject
....Yugi we were on th' end year break b'fore third year.
[He chokes, and he doesn't need to be a seer to connect a few more dots.] I...we...
Yugi I'm 17, y...If you r'member grad...
[No. Wait, he reels it in. He reels it in and refocuses, trying to calm down.] I...
[Hah. Haha...
He isn't calm at all.]
no subject
[He didn't even think he'd be able to run into people from the past. But if that was the case, then how the hell were they both dead? That didn't make sense.
So wouldn't that mean that Jounouchi was a different Jounouchi than the one he knew? Because Jou most definitely didn't die. At least. Right before third year. There was Battle City, but...]
No. You can't be...I would have remembered if you died then.
no subject
[And of all the things, That thing, with death, is what snaps him out of the gloom. With a yelp, his feathers fluff.] NYH-
I-
I ain't dead..!! Y- Yeesh Yugi yer righ' here you oughta know tha' for yourself if yer right in front 'f me! We all got pushed ont' th' same weird ruin trap!
[.....Right??!?!!]
no subject
[Wait. The thing he brought up. The--
Wait.]
Ruin...trap?
What Ruin trap?
no subject
Huh, yeah, like when Ra w's still fixin' me up after Dark Malik I guess...
[What was that mutter just now!?
It doesn't matter, probably. What matters is. Uh.] ...You don' r'member..?
...Did we get our heads wiped after 'r somethin', y' at least r'member the part where we were in India at th' time righ'?
no subject
[Okay, what even was this? Why's he talking about India? Why's he talking about Ra (what even was that?), and...]
Why would we be in India? I...
I can't say I remember any of that, Jonouchi. Where would we even get the money to go to India?
no subject
[He just burries his face in his hands, the reason for the gesture soon making itself known.] We DIDN'T, it was a prize..!!
M-aaaaAAAN..! I manage t' win somethin' cool and it's some spooky magic brainwarp crap tha's not fair dammit...!!
[Because clearly, if he can't remember it, then given how wild it was that he happened to win a vacation for That Week Exactly, the thing that is wrong is Not dimensional!
...Right? Yeah. He's going with it.]
no subject
You...won...us a trip?
[Yeah, something's not right here. Nothing's lining up. Still, he can't exactly play along, but...
He can comfort?
Yeah. He can do that.
(Better than to think about what he said earlier, right?)]
I'm sorry. Hey, at least it's over now, right...?
no subject
[Uggggghhhh...]
I mean I guess for you yeah, but now I don' even get t' have a heads up on what that ruin's even all abou'...awww...
[It's not like he'd have gotten one anyway..!!!] Mngh, well, at leas' somethin' is familiar. ...Kinda...
[Can't really forget about the whole 'He Went Home' bit, unfortunately.]
no subject
Just.
What.]
Haga made friends...with who?!
no subject
She used 'is first name whenever we talked, I had no idea!!! Like I guess th' connecting point had t' be Ryuzaki, she's known him way longer...
But aaaagh how?! An' whenever I try askin' she jus' gets upset...
[HOW CAN HE POSSIBLY PRY WHEN HIS SISTER IS UPSET :[[[[ ]
no subject
[Okay, this was weird.
Not just weird, but weird weird.]
That's...more than a little surprising.
[He's trying to be even and normal about this, but his brain is shrieking and his tail is twitching back and forth with obvious confusion.]
no subject
[Earlier comments have caught up!]
...Wait, you're sayin' you forgot tha' too..?
[Some rapid blinking, before he quietly goes into thought on it. Come to think, if they all theoretically Forget the year end break, and Yugi only saw the unlikely trio during said break...]
...then again I guess I'd 've jus' not said anythin' if I didn' have to, 's too weird t' think about...
no subject
Or never knew in the first place? Or maybe this place had a way of messing with memories.
Putting things out of order...
Creating false ones...]
More than that. It's way past weird...
