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.]

Would he bite him?
With that maw, he would have bit him.
Oh Gods, Kaiba could bite now.
Still, Yuugi was nothing if not good at pushing his luck.
"I thought so."
But then...
Him.
"You're...still trying to get back to him."
That wasn't a question. His expression was unreadable, though. A bland smile that fit Ryou more than it did Yuugi.
His tail drooped, though.
no subject
"I won't stop until I see him again," he says as if it's the most obvious thing in the world. Why would Yuugi ever think he might? Or...perhaps he thinks Kaiba should be content with his lot? More fool him--Yuugi had, again, been allowed to see Atem off! And Kaiba? Well...the pharaoh owed it to him.
"We have unfinished business, that's all."
no subject
On one hand? He gets it. He gets it like breathing. If he was in Kaiba's position, he...
...
What would he have done? Would he have done anything to get back to him?
He put a puzzle together in a burning building.
"Unfinished...or do you miss him?"
He'd tried using the old arguments:
Kaiba, he's gone.
Kaiba, you have to move on.
What did that do? Nothing. Other than piss him off, anyway.
no subject
Kaiba actually scoffs at that one, and his tail slams against the floor with such force that it draws the attention of other patrons. He doesn't care that it does, and in fact turns to give anyone who stares a sharp look, with fangs flashing, until they mind their damned business and leave him to his!
"Don't presume to know what my intentions are, Yuugi!" he snaps at last, attention back on the other man. "When I said unfinished business, that's what I meant! He had the gall to leave--"
Before what? Before Kaiba could face him again? Before Kaiba could say anything at all, assert any opinion of his own? And how dare Yuugi act as if he had any leg to stand on, trying to tell Kaiba how he felt about it?! Theirs had been released voluntarily, whereas Kaiba's connection had been severed without a thought to how he felt about it!
"--before he should have."
no subject
Yuugi did not flinch at his outburst; if anything, he watched him with quiet contemplation as his thoughts coalesced, swirled together and reminded him of...
His tail twitched.
"I...understand a little."
He spoke carefully. Quietly. His hands moved to a place around his neck that he still wished to feel something heavy...
"I let myself burn so that he wouldn't leave me. With that in mind...I don't have any leg to stand on to criticize you, yeah?"
Yuugi got "closure".
He had to have; everyone else was moving on and it wasn't fair to act like he was hurting. The Pharaoh wanted to rest, and that was Important.
And yet.
And yet--
no subject
Kaiba understands, and vaguely respects, the connection that Yuugi had with his partner. Two souls, one body, it wasn't his experience to butt into. Just like it wasn't Yuugi's business to butt into how he feels.
More to the point...Kaiba's maw parts, revealing a gathering of bright white light at the back of his throat. He's not pointed directly towards Yuugi though. Instead, his azure eyes and the direction of his snout are focused just beyond him, at the pachislot machine he wasn't paying attention to.
There were a couple of imps trying to steal Yuugi's winnings.
"Medium, or well? I'm in no mood for rare," he comments coldly. "Those who steal the earnings of others, won in fair battle...they're less than scum."
If anyone thinks Seto Kaiba won't Burst Stream someone stealing Yuugi's earnings, then they really don't know who he is at all, and ought to be educated.
no subject
Yuugi turned around and...well, would you look at that. There were several imps at the pachislot machine with his earnings. Their grubby hands grabbed at the tokens even as their eyes focused on Kaiba's...
Maw.
His laser.
"Hey! That isn't for you!"
He yelled, and the Imps chittered out a laugh at him. The kind of laugh that screamed 'And what the hell are you going to do about it?!'.
He felt something warm, itchy in the back of his throat.
"Cut it out!"
