    “As well as I can be.” Which, given the circumstances, might be something to be glad for. He wasn’t hurt or anything when he was brought here, though maybe the fact they were in this mess hadn’t set in. Even if it had, he’d be fine so long as they could focus on getting out of there. Yusei turned on the phone he was given; still no sound or notification from it, Sakura must not have found anyone else still, but he’d give her a head’s up that he found the twins.

    “Sakura’s already told me what happened, she’s looking around to see if there’s anyone of the others besides us four here.” he continued on, putting the device back in the pocket of his jacket. If they weren’t, it might be for the better; he wasn’t entirely sure yet of the Crimson Dragon would be able to get to them. As far as he knew, there shouldn’t be any reason to suggest otherwise, but this was an entirely different situation than ones they already had been in.

    “Did you guys see any of the others?”

Hearing that Yusei was alright allowed the twins to breathe a quiet sigh of relief. He was the first person that they recognized so far. Rua didn’t mention Sakura to Ruka because he still wasn’t completely sure who she was. Despite her having a Signer Mark he was still wary of the other girl. The fact that she was in Arcadia Movement clothes didn’t make him feel any better about her. So when Yusei mentioned Sakura’s name, Rua was definitely surprised. 

“You know who she is?”

“Who are you talking about, Rua? But we haven’t seen anyone else Yusei.” 

Ruka glanced between her brother and Yusei, it was clear that she was missing something here. The name Sakura was unfamiliar to her, but it seemed like Yusei knew this person and Rua was surprised that he knew the name. She really wished that Regulus was here, the lion Duel Spirit usually had some idea of what was going on. 

Rua covered his tail mark with his hand, or at least as best as he could. There were still parts of the mark peeking out that Yusei would be able to see. He wasn’t sure what was going on here. Yusei knew who they were and who Sakura was, however, they didn’t know who Sakura was. This was all getting incredibly confusing for him. 

[crimsonsigners]

The twins were nearly inseparable, the duo was usually never too far from one another. So when the announcement came a genuine look of relief came onto the two Signer’s faces. Being unable to sleep in the same room was torture for them since they were on different floors. Rua put his arms on Ruka’s shoulders as she smiled at her.

“See sis, everything is going to work out fine.”

Then came the explanation of how to get their decks back. They both used Synchro Summoning which meant that Rin was the Warden that they had to see. While they were grateful that it wasn’t Serena that they had to work with, Ruri seemed like the easiest Warden to work with right now. 

Ruka thought about her missing deck and her missing friends. Maybe if they got their decks back the Duel Monsters Spirits would have a chance to come out and talk. Though that didn’t stop her from being concerned with the challenges that Ruri mentioned they would have to complete.

“I’ll get both of our decks back, I promise okay?“

“We’ll get our decks back Rua. I’m not leaving you to do this alone.”

I’m leaving for Tucson comic con right now. I’m not bringing my laptop because I’m staying with my aunt who I rarely see. I’ll have mobile xo if I do any replies (unlikely) I won’t be able to cut anything. I’ll be back Monday

[crimsonsigners]

“Why did you have to yell at Ruri like that?”

Rua looked at Masumi with his face in a deep frown, something that rarely happened with him. This entire situation reminded him of how the Dark Signers were. They were good people who got tempted by the forces of evil. He was still grateful to this day that they were able to bring them back to normal. While what happened during the execution was terrible and should have been stopped, he wasn’t going to blame Ruri for grieving. He knew that if he was in Ruri’s place and Ruka was the one to die he would be just as much of a mess as the warden is.

“Warden or not, she still lost her brother and that is something to be upset about!”

          “I am from the Astral World. Beings of my kind do not exist within your realm.” This one was small…a child human, perhaps? He wishes Yuma were here, he would be able to ask all sorts of questions, and yet the feeling of fear in his heart made him certain that he did not want Yuma here.

          “Are you a duelist, Ruka?” he asks, cocking his head just slightly, earrings swaying in the gentle breeze that blew through the compound. “Or are there duelists nearby? There is one I’m searching for.”

Ruka never heard of the Astral World before so she was definitely curious to learn more about it. Thinking about it, now it made more sense why she didn’t recognize the other if what he was saying about his kind was true. She nodded her head in agreement as she moved her right hand to the empty deck holster that she bought after the Dark Signers incident.

“I am and I know of a few others, but I’m not sure they are the ones that you are looking for.”

She knew that Rua and Yusei were both here for sure. Then Rua mentioned someone named Sakura who supposedly helped her out of the Spirit World? Other than that she didn’t know who was a duelist and who wasn’t.

[crimsonsigners]

“Wait, Yusei? Didn’t I just see you over by the dorms? How did you end up over here so fast?”

Ruka looked at the other with confusion on her face. Maybe he went on a run to get some extra energy out? Well, regardless of how he ended up over here she remembered what she wanted to tell him. She knew that Rua was going to be distracted by trying to get his deck back in the meantime. 

“Before I forget to tell you. Rua is probably going to ask you if you can make him another Duel Board. Though I think he’s going to try and get his deck back first.”

“Are you a skeleton! That’s so cool!”

Rua knew that there were a different bunch of people here based on the number of people at the trial. Though he really didn’t go out of his way to meet any of them before the trial. Though now that he knew the only way to survive was to make friends he was being more outgoing. Especially now that he had his sister to protect as well. Being a Signer he’s seen his fair share of weird things, but never a walking and talking skeleton.

    Yusei was going over the conversation he and Sakura witnessed earlier, before they split up to cover more ground. Mention that both twins were here had caught his attention with ease, and apparently someone else had pulled some strings to keep them together; he’ll have to thank whoever they were if he found out. Now, however, he had to focus on finding them.

    That is, if they didn’t find him first, which it seems they have. 

    “There you two are.” Was the rare smile that found its way onto Yusei’s face out of relief? Perhaps. They didn’t seem hurt, but with what Sakura told him earlier…It was best to make sure. The twins, of all people, shouldn’t have been brought here. “Are you guys alright?”

“I’m alright Yusei.” 

Rua smiled at the older Signer giving the other a thumbs up. Alright was a subjective term but Rua wasn’t going to worry the others with what he’s already seen. That was something for the privacy of his bedroom.

“I’m also alright.”

Knowing that Yusei was here as well made Ruka feel emotionally torn. While she was relieved that Yusei was here. However, based on what Rua was telling her it wasn’t a good thing that he was here. Though if Yusei was here, maybe Jack and Aki were here and if all five of them were together the Crimson Dragon would appear and get them out of here. Though she thought that the chances of that happening were slim since she couldn’t seem to reach any of her Duel Spirit friends.

“How about you?”

[crimsonsigners]

shincbinaku‌:

          The surroundings around him weren’t making any sense, and though he’d take the phone with him, he couldn’t work it or figure out what was going on. He was floating around the area but couldn’t find a single person to explain anything to him. Though…could anyone even see him? Normally no one could, so…

          “—hm?” A quick turn reveals a child with hair the color of his markings, staring so softly. She could see him and yet she’d mistaken him for a Duel Spirit. “No, I’m afraid I’m not a Duel Spirit. My name is Astral.”

Ruka was disappointed when she heard the other wasn’t a Duel Spirit which left her no further than where she started. Though she kept her disappointment to herself, it wasn’t the other’s fault that she got her hopes up. A smile remained on Ruka’s face as she heard the other’s name.

“My name is Ruka. If you aren’t a Duel Spirit then can I ask what are you?”

While she didn’t want to be rude to the other, her curiosity won out. The only time she’s seen someone that even resembled Astral that was in the Duel Monsters Spirit World and he already confirmed that he wasn’t a Duel Spirit.

[crimsonsigners]

Rua knew that there was so far no escape from this place which left him with one option. Protect Ruka as best as he could in here, which meant that he had to show her around the area. He made a mental note to thank whoever [Playmaker] was later for getting them in the same dorm. While it wasn’t like they could share a room due to the rules, at least being in the same dorm was as close as they could get. 

As the duo walked Rua saw a familiar jacket out of the corner of his eyes. He froze in his tracks and grabbed his sister's arm. Ruka cried out in surprise and turned to see what stopped Rua. She turned to see what Rua was staring at and she didn’t know if she should be happy or sad to see a familiar face. The duo cried out at the same time and started to run towards him.

“Yusei!”

“Yusei!”

After the Fortune Cup, Ruka swore that she would never abandon her spirit friends again. This was a promise that she swore that she would keep from now on. So not being able to see or feel any of her spirit friends had the young Signer concerned. She told Rua that she was going to walk around along a bit to see if that could get them to come out and get a feel for the area as well. As she walked she spotted many unfamiliar faces, but her spirit friends still didn’t come out. Out of the corner of her eyes, she saw someone who looked like a Duel Monster Spirit and she ran over there. Hopefully if the other was a spirit, they could tell her what was wrong with her friends.

“Are you a Duel Monster Spirit?” 

She asked the other with her hands clasped together in contagious optimism.

When Ruka finally came around she couldn’t tell where she was. Her memories were fuzzy at best as she tried to recall how she got here. Though after a few moments of regaining her composure she felt something very, very wrong. She couldn’t feel her Duel Monster Spirit friends. After everything that’s happened since the Fortune Cup she’s always had her spirit friends by her side. 

Now?

Now she can’t feel any of them and that has her on edge. 

“Where am I?”

She muttered to herself as she started to walk around the area. Little did she know that her brother was already here. 

Rua was already out and about walking around. Staying in his dorm room was the last thing he wanted to do right now. He was counting his blessings that his sister avoided ending up in this nightmare. Well, he thought he did until he glanced up an saw a familiar hairstyle and clothing. His heart dropped into the pit of his stomach as he knew for certain that was Ruka. He thought that she was safe, but with more new faces the chances of Ruka ending up here were high. 

“Ruka!”

He cried out as he ran towards his sister, tears pricking at the corner of his eyes. She shouldn’t be here, he knows that she shouldn’t be here. Yet here she is, and there’s nothing he can do right now to make sure that she stays safe. A part of him is glad that she’s here just so he wouldn’t be completely alone. However, he knew that he was being selfish by being thankful that she was here with him. Wrapping his arms around her he squeezed her to make sure she was real.

“Why are you here? You shouldn’t be here!”

Ruka was relieved when she heard her brother calling her name. At least that was one person she knew that was here. Maybe he would have some answers for her. When she felt Rua’s arms wrap around her, she wrapped her arms back around him. Clearly, something has happened that had Rua all shook up. Maybe it was related to her not being able to sense her spirit friends? 

“Rua, I’m alright. But can you tell me what’s going on here?”

“Bad things Ruka. Really bad things.”

[crimsonsigners]

    The reaction wasn’t one she hoped for, much less expected. Rua…didn’t know her? Not at all? That didn’t make sense, she had helped Ruka, Yusei, everyone stop the Dark Signers as well as the Arcadia Movement. She’d helped Ruka out of the Spirit World while she was trapped there; it was all too strange, why didn’t he remember any of that? A hand rose to her other arm, gripping the sleeve.

    “If you don’t remember me, then…Don’t worry. I’m not your enemy.” Sakura raises the sleeve of her uniform to reveal her own mark of the dragon, one that Rua likely hadn’t seen before. It was a mark that signified the dragon’s body, though she was quick to cover it again. Was this something…whoever it was that brought her here did, another cruel game to mock her own apparent amnesia-?

    “I hope Divine didn’t wipe your memory as he had mine. You…really don’t remember a thing?” she asks, “Not even from me helping your sister Ruka escape from the Spirit World…?”

Knowing that the only way out of this place was to get away with murder had Rua on edge. He knew that he needed to make allies and quickly, but failed so horribly as he tried to ignore what was going on around him for the entire first motive. But with three people now dead, he was seeing that was never an option for him. Watching Sakura’s movements with a skeptical gaze his jaw quickly dropped. As far as he could remember, Goodwin only mentioned five marks but what the other was implying there were six. The shock was plastered all over his fast as he tried to reason it out.

“But I thought there were only five marks!”

Yusei had the head, Jack the wings, Ruka the front claw, Aki the back claw, and he had the tail. Though there was no denying it, the mark on her arm holding the same style and coloration as his own. A part of him was expecting their marks to glow at any moment. 

However, that never happened. 

“Ruka never said that she got help leaving the Spirit World asides from the spirits who were already there. But the last thing I remember involving Divine was being forced to duel him.”

[crimsonsigners]

ofthesecards‌:

    Sakura had decided to take some time to herself, just to sort things out in her head. Maybe something here would help her regain her memory; as unlikely as it was, it was worth a try. At least, that’s what Yusei and the others convinced her of, even if it seemed futile all too often. Perhaps she should try to find some different clothes too, she still looked like one of Divine’s pawns even if she was free of the brainwashing. Not that it mattered, no one here seemed aware of the Arcadia Movement…but it seemed she wasn’t paying attention either, running right into someone.

    “Oh, it’s fine–” she started to say, but when she looked to see who it was, Sakura froze. Of all the people she hoped weren’t affected by this, the twins were at the top of that list. Rua was here, did that mean the others were too-? 

    “Rua, what are you doing here-?” She finally catches her voice again, only to then notice the symbol on his arm. “Wait, that mark…You didn’t have that when I last saw you.”

“Am I supposed to know you?”

Rua questioned the other as he glanced at his Signer mark. He couldn’t recognize the other girl no matter how far back he could remember. Maybe she knew him when he was younger? That would explain why she noticed the Signer mark on his arm was new? Or at least new for anyone who hasn’t seen him recently. Though the clothing that she wore did set him on edge. He recognized the clothing to be from the Arcadia Movement and he didn’t have very fond memories of that place. Nearly being killed by Divine would do that to a person. Not only that but the treatment of Aki definitely didn’t earn them any brownie points. Though that was a discussion for another time with other people.

“Same as everyone else, trapped here and trying to stay alive.”

Dealing with the Wardens was enough for him, if he had Divine coming after him again that would be pushing it over his limits. At least the others weren’t here and having to deal with this.

Rua wasn’t prepared for anything that’s happened since waking up here. Fighting the Dark Signers in Shadow Duels was one thing, having to investigate a killer was another thing entirely. Even the final duel with Goodwin and receiving his Signer mark was nothing compared to this. Followed by what happened to Shun, it was quickly becoming too much for him to handle. Though he knew that he had to keep strong now more than ever. 

He was taking a walk around the dorm as he kept on staring at the Tail mark on his arm and sighed. He was still wearing his usual clothes so his mark was in plain sight for all to see. He knew that even if the others weren’t here, that they were still supporting him. That’s how their team worked, and he believed in his friends. Distracted he didn’t notice that he was about to run into someone and stopped just in time to avoid colliding into them.

“Sorry, I wasn’t paying attention.”
