Who: Kaiba (![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
blue_ice) and you!
When: One early September morning
Where: All over campus!
What: DUELS. In any and every game. Or try to talk him down from this madness, idk.
Warnings: Excessive edgy shonen rival behavior. Possibly some dark themes, will be labeled in subject lines!
Kaiba's request, in hindsight, was a foolish one. Every interaction between their worlds and this one thus far had been a disaster with unintended consequences, why would this be any different? And why would he risk his most priceless possessions this way? He could kick himself, but that's not going to save his Blue Eyes White Dragons. His hand trembles as he holds them, watching their attack and defense values slowly tick toward zero.
You are not the worthy heir we chose, says the trio of voices in his ear. Your emotions have made you weak. We seal our power from you until you prove that the spirit of a champion lurks within. Crush your foes with precision! Or are you now a coward?
No. He's no coward. Kaiba sweeps through the hallways with an icy expression, searching for prey. Any instrument they might hold for a game draws him...a deck of Fantastic Foils cards. A basketball. A chess board. A wand. Any game, anywhere...he absolutely must win. He swivels to face his chosen opponent.
"You. Duel me. Now."
Are you game? Or more inclined to tell him he's out of his mind? It's your move.

"Would checkers be okay?"

Kaiba sets up the board. "I'll let you pick your color. But don't take too long."
Please don't take too long. He reaches into his pocket and glances at the card in his hand, frowning at the ticking numbers.

Kaiba folds his arms and studies the board. It's a very simple strategy, but not one he can afford to make mistakes with.
Normally he'd at least make small talk, but...with that distracted look on his face, he's not really in the mood. "And...uh. Thanks, I guess."

She still didn't know what all this was about. But if it would help, then it didn't really matter.
With checkers, at least, the moves weren't all that complicated. So she moved her first piece forward.
