Week 6

[Six weeks. Twenty-three Champions whittled down to just seven. Where the halls of the station once felt crowded and loud now they're empty and echo when someone speaks too loudly. Again, the Champions will find themselves experiencing strange dreams on Sunday night but outside of the usual wake-up call there is no new floor announcement from CECE.

Like the trash compactor last week, the infirmary is pristine and sterile once again. As if nothing had ever happened.]


Sunday | Monday | Tuesday | Wednesday | Thursday



(( Welcome to Week 6! Don't forget to submit your memory regains and turn in your benefactor threads for sweet loot, too! There's going to be no AC this week.))

Zombina was convinced she'd get to come to my world and see it. Blue-Eyes, naturally. I live for my theme.

That is the most extra thing I've ever heard. How many millions of yen did you dump on that?

A gentleman doesn't build a personal jet and tell. [He can hold a conversation and lean into corners at the same time. (Sure is a shame he's got that coat on covering the good stuff, huh?)] You should've seen the time I jumped out of it and used a jetpack to go the rest of the way down as an introduction to one of my tournaments. It also remote parks.

[le_mat]

[it IS a goddamned shame.]

Show off.

[playthedamncard]

You have to be showy if you're going to run a tournament or three. If you're going to command the attention of the world with your life-changing technologies.

[le_mat]

I believe that you're right. That all the flash was probably researched and playtested and very effective.

I also 100% believe you like the attention.

[He leans deep into a corner, knee nearly touching the floor.] Me? Attention? Whatever gave you that idea? It certainly couldn't have been the time I introduced a small tournament by showing off how realistic my new graphics were, causing the audience to think an out of control jet had been destroyed by a dragon while I emerged from the flaming wreckage unscathed.

A little excitement keeps people on their toes.

[The image makes him laugh, leaning on the shoot cabinet to watch Kaiba race]

And so humble too.

[playthedamncard]

When you become a multibillionaire by being smarter and better than everyone else around you, you don't have the luxury of humility. Sharks in the water, after all.

[le_mat]

I guess that makes sense. Just gotta be the most over the top to be on top.

[playthedamncard]

I could have been a normal stuffy suit. And just because I have day to day business suits doesn't mean I'm stuffy in the slightest. Just another worker, just another business owner, concerned with making the most money the easiest way possible. But I wouldn't have liked where I would have ended up, who I would have had to become to do so.

Some suggest it's just overcompensation. I think we both know that's not true.
