[ jun is his favourite person here because he indulges judai's card game obsession ]

yea!!
i bet youd be good at it!!

o also
so if were from different worlds
and we find a way back home
can we visit other peoples worlds

[whiteshroud]

Haha, don't get your hopes too high about my skill level.
I was still trying to get a handle on Vantage Master.

[look he's used to a lot of weirdos, you just go with it]

Uh, maybe?
I don't know anything about interdimensional travel, so it's a little early to say.
Why?

[ehero]

itd be cool if we can visit each others worlds
and see whats different
i want to know what your earth is like
and i can show you real duel monsters!

[whiteshroud]

[ ! ]

Oh, yeah! That WOULD be cool!
I could show you around Morimiya and you could meet my friends.

Is Duel Monsters really popular in your world? Are there tournaments?

[ehero]

whats morimiya like
tell me about your friends too!

its super popular!
everyone plays it
there are a lot of tournaments and pro players
one friend is pro and the other is working to be one

[whiteshroud]

It's a town outside Tokyo, near the Tama Hills? About 400k people.
There's a great anime shop, an arcade, and I live near a park with a lake and a skateboard course.
And my friends are great! Kou works part-time jobs all the time, but he's really good at cards. Shiori loves to read and wants to travel the world. And Ryouta's lazy, a little useless, and a little obsessed with this idol group- but you couldn't ask for a more loyal guy.

[He loves Ryouta, truly]

Wow, that sounds amazing! I've played card matches online, but I've never been to an official tournament.
Are you a pro?

[ehero]

i wonder if it exists in my world and i just never been there
your friends sound really cool
id like to meet him oneday!
ill have to challenge kou to cards!

not officially
but ive duelled against some and won
and i played on behalf on my school
so im pretty good

[ When it comes to duelling, Judai isn't very humble because he's planning on becoming number one!! ]

[whiteshroud]

Maybe! It's considered a suburb so it's usually overlooked by Tokyo.
Haha, I'm sure he'd like that! He's really good, better than I am.

That's still cool!
You must be good if you can do that.

[ehero]

it sounds like you really like your friends
i guess its both a good and bad thing that theyre not here

i still got a long way to go but im getting there!
what about you
what are you really good at

[whiteshroud]

I do. They're precious to me.
And you're not wrong, I have mixed feelings about them not being around.

[He misses them a lot, but ...yeah, this is probably safer

BUT BOY. WHAT A QUESTION. There's a pause]

I don't know.
I guess I'm a pretty good cook?

[ehero]

do you have any photos
or maybe you can draw them

o yeah?
i should try your cooking someday!
whats your best dish

[whiteshroud]

I do! h/o


Ryouta's the guy in green, Kou's the one with the white vest, and Shiori's wearing the pink shirt.

Crème caramel, probably. I make it as a reward for myself sometimes.

[ehero]

whoa you sure have a lot of friends!
was this during new years

text me the next time you make it?
ill bring over something to make up for taking a piece!

[ ... once he finds something that's worth giving in exchange for food. ]

[whiteshroud]

A summer festival, actually.
And most of them are more Kou's friends, really.

[Read: They'd be Jun's friends too, and probably want to be -- but Jun's too much of an idiot to figure out that out. ]

Sure! It might be awhile though.

[ehero]

wow i havent had a summer festival in years
i think the last one was in junior high

thanks!
itd be nice to eat desserts again
that arent crackers

[whiteshroud]

Haha, it was a lot of fun!
There was live music, and lots of food stalls, and the fireworks were really pretty!

[Look it was his first summer festival ever ok]

I don't think crackers count as a dessert.
But I understand what you mean.

[ehero]

sounds like it!
glad you had a lot of fun
wonder if this place has festivals as well

they dont?
then what are they

[whiteshroud]

Haha, don't know.
It'd be nice if it did.

A snack?
Desserts are sweet.

[ehero]

if not
lets just host our own!

its sweet if you put sugar on it

[whiteshroud]

That's a nice thought.
But neither of us have the money to do that.

Like...plain sugar?

[ehero]

we dont need money to have fun
we can worry about the details later

yea
sometimes sugar packets are all you got
you know?

[whiteshroud]

Pretty sure those words were uttered during Dashcon's planning...

I guess so...
I'll try to get you some real desserts.

[ehero]

whats dashcon

thanks jun
youre the best!

[whiteshroud]

[He never knows how to respond to thank yous, so he'll just ignore that]

A convention for a social media site that went terribly due to poor planning and scamming.
It became infamous on the internet after they tried to refund visitors with an "extra hour in the ballpit".


This ballpit.

[ehero]

hey that looks like fun!
i wouldnt mind an hour in the ball pit
