ROUND 3

[idolpro]

[ The room is BRIGHT YELLOW, as all the rooms you will enter are. Black tiles make up the floor, changing to your unit's color when pressure is placed on them. There is a button in the very center of the room standing on a podium; it's slightly smaller than palm-sized.]

Your memory must be off.

[ Stepping into the room, finally, since it seems the door isn't going to open back up and free him from this hell. ]

All I have is dice.

Re: Intensity vs King

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Really. You don't have your deck on you?

[Huffs a laugh and also steps closer to King]

Fine. Dice it is then.

Winner decides who moves forward.

Re: Intensity vs King

[puzzlekeeper]

[ Don't call him out on being a bad ygo ]

I left it in my other coat, not realizing I would need to duel my way out of several life-or-death scenarios today.

[ He pulls out the dice, though. ]

Re: Intensity vs King

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Then we'll just have to have a proper duel later.

[Draw your last pathetic ca---

Oh.

Wait]

Name your game.

Re: Intensity vs King

[puzzlekeeper]

[ Tossing a dice at him, fully expecting he'll snatch it out of the air. ]

In the previous round, we simply rolled for the highest number.

Re: Intensity vs King

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[And catch it, he does]

Fine then. Highest number.

On three?

Re: Intensity vs King

[puzzlekeeper]

On three.

[ He turns his dice over and over between his thumb and index finger, then lifts his hand. ]

Three... two...

Re: Intensity vs King

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

One.

[At least he doesn't dice roll like fucking Bakura.

And when it rolls to a stop, it's a respectable '4']

Re: Intensity vs King

[puzzlekeeper]

[ King lets his own dice go, watching as it clatters...

For a perfect six. ]

Re: Intensity vs King

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Because of course it is.

And he just laughs:]

Have you been rolling like that all day?

Re: Intensity vs King

[puzzlekeeper]

[ And King... chuckles a little, though it's a morbid chuckle. ]

Maybe I'm just lucky when it counts.

Re: Intensity vs King

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Don't jinx it just yet.

You still have some ways to go.

Re: Intensity vs King

[puzzlekeeper]

...

[ Catching Intensity's hand in his. ]

Re: Intensity vs King

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Just looks at it with a raised eyebrow. Even as he laces his fingers with King]

Don't get sentimental on me now.

Re: Intensity vs King

[puzzlekeeper]

You say that as if it's not my default state.

[ Said as he yanks Intensity's hand over -- and uses it to slam down the button. ]

1/4

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Give him a second to process that]

Re: Intensity vs King

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Okay.

There it is]

Re: Intensity vs King

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Shoving King away from him]

You---

You---!!!

Re: Intensity vs King

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Best two out of three!

[He says as if the button hadn't already been pressed]

Re: Intensity vs King

[puzzlekeeper]

[ He stumbles back, but the words get him to laugh outright.

Oh, Intensity. ]

After this is over, you can have as many rounds as you like.

Re: Intensity vs King

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Stalks over to him as if he hadn't just pushed him away.

And grabs him by the front to reel him back in]

Re: Intensity vs King

[puzzlekeeper]

[ King allows this, peering up at him impassively. Just waiting to see what particular impulse Intensity is following this time. ]

Re: Intensity vs King

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Is this really what you want?

I'm not like the others. I don't need to be coddled.

Re: Intensity vs King

[puzzlekeeper]

[ ....

One hand lifts to encircle his wrist. ]

I'm sure you already know the answer to that. Don't you?

Re: Intensity vs King

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Then know that every time you try to put yourself in a six foot hole in the ground, I'm going to come back to dig you right back out.

Don't. get. comfortable.
