Who: Yugi & anybody looking for a Fantastic Foils clash***.
What: It's a very bad day.
Where: Anywhere & everywhere.
When: Immediately following his Discovery of what the Deathtoll card does.
Warnings: Yugi slowly but surely losing his mind.

[ yugi had stayed overnight in purifuel, but at the crack of dawn decided to head back to his own dorm, because one, he didn't want to get caught and two, he needed some time to himself. that's part of the reason he hadn't planned on going to class, but the distraction might be welcome. maybe. he's not really sure he's going to be able to focus on anything but how terrible a person he is for using that stupid card. he smothers his face with his hands, trying to keep it together, which is difficult when he's exhausted and guilt ridden. ]

[ could today get any worse? ]

( ooc; for the people that need to challenge him just pop in whenever and wherever and let's throw down! )

[ The heat has to be a trick of his mind, but he's so tense that he feels like he's burning up himself. His monsters haven't fared too well...but it's all part of the plan in the end.

He takes a deep breath when Yugi announces his plan, looking at Yugi with a desperate expression. ]

And that makes it all right for you to suffer? We don't have to do this.

[ He places a face down card on the field, desperately trying to stall. He should really concede the duel, anyting to make this stop...but he knows Yugi needs to see this through.

Bad move, Kaiba. ]

I don't get it, Kaiba. You got this fantastic coat and Atem gets a new familiar, and what do I get? I get this. [ he makes a motion to the field as kaiba sets a card face down. ] Why did I get this? Why couldn't I get something else? There has to be a reason, right? A- And maybe the answer lies at the end of all this. [ his own voice has started to waver, because he's really just so done. ]

[ it doesn't help that the tower is gone and... and... ]

[ as soon as kaiba ends his turn he draws a card and his wrist is immediately seized. a pair of snakes that were originally just a part of the damn thing have come alive to grab it. ] W- What?! [ he tries to yank it back, but the two of them bite into his hand, drawing blood, their bodies turning a sickly red as it flows through them and onto the door, filling in the last keyhole. ]

[ he feels sick, the color having drained from his face as they finally release his hand and returning to their spots. w- what the fuck? what just happened!! ]

[ well there are five souls and one blood offering totally six. is it too late to back out now? ]

[blue_ice]

I've never liked these shadow games. Screw it all.

[ He's just about to forfeit the match when the snakes latch onto Yugi, drawing his blood. Kaiba immediately pales to match and drops his cards, rushing over to grab Yugi and try to pull him away. No. No! He can't let this happen. ]

I surrender! Stop this, take me instead!

[ But everything's already set in motion. He clutches Yugi close, trembling...he's about to jump up and run back to Peregrin when the fabric of reality shifts around them. He curls tighter around Yugi, silently upending all his own beliefs and praying for a miracle when the gates of hell open, and...

They're thrust into a shimmering golden hall, with angelic-looking beings and the scents of fine cooking surrounding them. Clearly it's a trap. Kaiba continues to clutch Yugi close, eying the alleged angels with suspicion. ]

...what is this place?

[ He's still shaking from the adrenaline a little. One angel seems to take pity on him and reaches to take his arm, speaking in a melodious voice. ]

'Tis but a simple brunch buffet, my boy. Why don't you two sit and have your fill? You look like you've had a trying day, and I daresay our dishes are...a little slice of heaven!

[ That's not even the half of it. He looks down to check on Yugi, bewildered. ]
